Books are not cheap and can get pricey over time. There are lots of great options, but be warned the prices are not always on the items, and I had to search for them. The building is clean, and the lady was very nice when I came in and was able to direct me to the right place.

As I approached the store the first thing I noticed was the Communist…read moreCovid shot sign on the door. Next were the employees in face diapers, then I grabbed some of the books I was looking for and heading up the center towards the register, I saw all of these demonic books. As I was waiting to purchase my books, there were two young children and one of them picked up this terrible Covid doll and that was the end for me! I turned around, put my books back on the shelf and walked out, never to return to this store again! This store apparently loves to throw all of the Communist, demonic stuff right in your face!

The coffee and smoothies have a great flavor! But the…read moreservice was so slow, we had tried it before and it took 15 minutes to get just 2 drinks. So we thought that it was just a rough day, which anyone can have, and we would try it again. When we went back weeks later, and it was even slower! It took over 45 minutes to get 2 drinks and 2 premade muffins! It was insane, and when I asked around the 30 minute mark how much longer it would be the barista/server was really cranky. After this experience I asked my daughter who had tried this place a couple of times too, how her experiences were and unfortunately she had similar issues. So if you try this place, make sure you have a lot of time to wait. Personally I don't think I will be going back anytime soon.

It appears this Barnes &…read moreNoble was a pillar of the Richland Mall, having withstood the test of time, it has remained unbothered while all surrounding businesses seemed to have perished. Which makes this store such a treasure. You can find a great selection of items and get your caffeine fix at the indoor Starbucks. The distinct sobering scent of brewed coffee grounds greets you at the entrance. The aisles are easy to navigate and of course there's wifi.

Sadly I don't really visit this location for the books (although I have bought a few for gifts for…read moreexpectant mothers and my nieces) but the cafe is a nice escape when I'm at the office. I've been visiting this location for over 5 years and the cafe staff are so friendly and despite my irregular visiting schedule, they remember my name each time I'm there. I also enjoy when they have after season clearance sales -- they will gradually mark items down to 50% off, then 75% off and the remaining will go for $1-2/item. The best time to check this out is after a holiday (think post-Easter / Halloween, etc.) as they will have a bunch of mark downs. I often find great little gift items to hold on to or fun surprises for myself (I got a cool kitchen scale one time for $2!).

This place was a treasure trove of fun finds! Books of all types - genres for all genders, ages and…read morelovers of literature! Sometimes they run a BOGO sale and I was able to catch this on Mystery/Suspense Novels and hooked a Hitchcock! Can't beat snagging 2 books for eight books! Great deal! They even take books in on trade to boot. The ladies that work there were very helpful and we found some neat things. They even have a nice selection or rare and first edition novels.

I've been to the book dispensary twice now and I will say, I love how many different types of books…read morethere are. I do have some problems, though. Firstly, the latest time I went, there were boxes of books everywhere, making it impossible to get into most sections. The childrens' section is quite small. The service is ok, but they are very unorganised, they said they had a book that I needed for school but they didn't end up having it. Their book trade in system is quite sloppy, I gave them $200 worth of old books and they gave me $15 worth of book credits. the value is terrible as well. A very rough looking book about Athens, Greece that I bought was $25, originally $25.50. Other than that, I love the place, I just wish it had better organisation and value.

The day came and what a lovely coffee shop to hang out in. They serve coffee, milkshakes, tea, and lunch. It's cozy but open so you can sit on a couch, high table, or play at a table. They have puzzles and games for people to engage in. They have soft music that will relax you. The ladies were lovely and welcoming. Guys just stop by and stay for a cup of whatever you like you won't regret it. Thank you.

We both read our book for the month, come together with our wine, and charcuterie board then discussed parts of the book that impacted us in some way. Really exciting and fun, to not only highlight the book but just coming together conversing. I absolutely love Barnes & Noble! If you're a reader you know:) So if you're relaxing today, snuggle up with a good book from Barnes & Noble. They have great selections and I promise you will find a book that won't break the bank. Happy reading!

Many, many years ago there used to be a Woodhill Mall at this location. It was pretty dismal. Now…read moreit's the Shoppes at Woodhill, and it has a whole new vibe including a relatively new Barnes and Noble. And that turns out to be a bookstore with a lot of good things about it. First, it's big, spacious, clean, lots of seating spaces. Second, it's got a lot of books in a lot of genres. And third, and least important to us, it's got a lot of other stuff that isn't books -- things like gifts, etc. -- that add up to a store welcoming to visitors with all sorts of interests. Our primary interest is books, and we found many to like here. Unlike some BN stores, they carry a lot of classics in different publishing formats. There are large sections of popular fiction and nonfiction, and very appealing and diverse cookbook and mystery sections. We really enjoyed our visit here, and we appreciated the friendliness of the staff. We didn't need any help in our searches, but they are quick and efficient in the checkout. All in all, a very good experience, and we can recommend this store without hesitation.
