Im glad this place still exists. Lots of good materials to choose from. Unlike most places that you cant wait to get out of, Barnes & Noble is a comfortable relaxing quiet place where you could easily spend hours.
I don’t go to this exact one I go to one in a different state but I know it would be good with manga look it is in the other state, going here soon though so I’ll make another rating, hopefully they have one punch man manga
Great store. bathrooms need work done imo
I love books and they have an awesome selection. They also had a really cool summer reading program going on. All the employees are beyond helpful.
Come here every few days for manga. They have a immaculate selection but never have the first volume of series which sucks if you are starting one. Still love coming here and more people need to buy books rather than reading online.
Really nice atmosphere with friendly staff. They also have a nice outdoor sitting area with covered tables.
I absolutely love reading and I wish I could afford books off their shelves at affordable to me costs. But I value this store and recommend it for those who can afford the books because they provide so much by way of quantity and quality. I loved it when they sold the Nook reading tablet. I stop by just to see what I can find. One of them was an adjustable holder for my cell phone which I treasure; everyone comments on it. I keep going back but havent found another one yet again. People always ask me about it and I tell them where I got it so maybe, by chance, theyll find it or while theyre there buy a book that they can afford😁
Where else can you find a good book, graphic, movie, collectible, some vinyl records, and some pastry & coffee.
This store is the absolute worst. Terrible, horrible, despicable customer service and rude, clueless employees. Managers who dont care. Overpriced, poor selection. Save yourself the trouble and just buy from Amazon!
I just drove a friend to B&N to get a book. Big nice store.
Great location in oceanside. Lots of parking. Clean inside and has nice shops around it. Has a Starbucks inside.
Always love to come here it brings up childhood memories for me !
Great location, with great customer service. Great variety of book too! Sometimes will not have the book youre looking for.
The clerk was extremely helpful, but unfortunately could not find the magazine I was looking for.
Very clean and safe place to go to visit and shop. Theres plenty of free parking. The clerks are very nice and they are very helpful and provide good quality service. And are knowledgeable about topics subjects and authors. The store is very good size and have many good reasons to visit. Good social distancing also
You already know I had to post the update. Plus two stars!So, I was kind of hesitant to go back. But the manager called me and made sure I got a gift card! They were so nice, I just had it in my heart to go back and give them a second chance. While the next try wasn’t perfect, it was definitely something to be spoken of!So the two attendants there weren’t very reactive when I explained my situation, which is definitely not the standard for food service quality since I like to take an emotional investment in my work and responses even if it isn’t major. But nonetheless, I feel as if they were ready and sympathetic of me. So I ordered their monthly coupon, the buy one get one half off.This is where the fun begins.Host 1: I think you’re thinking of Starbucks.Me: No, I mean this one.Host 1: Oh! Barnes and Noble Cafe?Host 2 to the rescue.Host 2: The cookies?Me: Yes, please!I mean, as a food service worker myself, it’s not hard to tell what’s improved. Host 2 was definitely on the ball, and the way she responded with respect to needs and service was phenomenal. The other host, however, was a little slow on the uptake. And in an ever-growing food service environment, you’ve got to be quick on your feet. Unless, of course, an understandable misinterpretation occurs.But I was at a B&N cafe, not Starbucks.3 stars. I’ll post the next update after the election.Update: honestly? The genuine interactions I’ve had with these people, over the months following the election, have allowed me to decide my final score with a clear head. Four stars - and I’ll always come back for a delicious dessert. I would say go to this one as if it has five stars, because its integrated cafe is the best of its kind.
A nice place to find some great books, I recently got into reading more often and I get my books here. The staff is nice and its a relaxing place.
Very clean and friendly staff at this Barnes & Nobles. I usually take my wife there because she loves to buy and read multiple books at once. They also have a Starbucks inside the store just in case you want to grab a quick bit or coffee.
Great place to buy books, mags, If you want to send an inmate a paperback or hard copy book. Barnes & Noble will send the book(s) for you after purchase.Customer service is great!
They friendly and helpful and always I found the best books 📖 there 👍
Really good books and starbucks cafe
Favorite store of all time! Love looking at everything! Have gotten some seriously good books from here!
Had problems with the Nook . Customer service was very friendly and knowledgeable . Fixed the issues that blocked me from reading .
This place is filled with a large selection of books. Whether it came out yesterday or 300 years ago, they have heard of it. and they often have multiple cover options per book. I love this place!
Excellent book selections, intimate cafe areas for cerebral Pleasures. Fine architectural ambiance. Knowledgeable staff.
It may be a big box retail book store, but a lot of the employees at the book store and cafe have been there forever and are great. Theyre so helpful and have great recommendations.
Greatest place to relax and with there 50% cookie from Starbucks you could read & drink your favorite coffee along with your cookies!!
I dont get a chance to go to a real bookstore very often these days, but my visit to Barnes and Noble showed me how much I am missing by shopping online. I found several books that I had never heard of.
All the books! Pretty legit selection - pop in ..cant go wrong, grab a coffee
Open clean friendly. Easy to find what what I was looking for.
Great atmosphere and staff is very pleasant. They look up your stuff and very clean. Its a place to browse have some coffee and look up some great book selections.For the kids, there are multiple areas where they can buy toys, stuffed animals, and the childrens section is perfect for the kiddies to see all the books at eye level. Presentation is very well done.
In an increasingly digital world, Barnes and Noble remains a sensory treat. Experience the look, feel, smell, and page-turning sounds of any one of thousands of books while sipping a coffee treat, or even better, while also treating yourself to a highly quality gift item. This branch carries a great selection of bags, journals, writing supplies, and other goodies that will make you go analog!
It was great! The check out person was awesome and very informed about literature.
A great place for books and board/card games. I like that they implemented a coffee shop. I also like the kids area, my kids enjoy it. One thing I do not like is that the toys are a little overpriced. However, customer service is always great.
I get lost, but not in the way that you think, lost in all the books that interest me, I walk by another section, isle, or table and its another book Im interested in. Some say books are boring, but I laugh like God laughs at the wicked for they are the ones missing out. Ever since I was a kid I asked, Hey mom can we go to Barnes & Noble?, Little did I know that store sparked my love for books, my homes bookshelf could never compare. To those who havent gone yet, you should. The physical book Industry is dying, please go before you miss out on the experience we take for granted of the hard covers, turning the page, that little anticipation and dopamine you get as you get a fresh page lined full of more to story. Please support our stores even if you dont want to go in person you can buy online to keep Barnes & Noble alive for as long as possible. Going back to my first remark in this review, I know youll feel the same once you walk past those doors. Staff and Environment extremely friendly, plus the events they have for kids is amazing.
Manga section was actually pretty big. Would go back to catch up and purchase some more.
I love this bookstore! Wide aisles, well- labeled areas of interest.
I havent been to barnes and noble for so long but once again i was excited to go i love it but i did not like the fact that barnes and noble now charges you 25 dollars to be a member it used to be free not no more
Great customer Service.I wished I paid attention to the cashiers name, she was very helpful in helping me find what I was looking for. 👍👍🌟🌟
Nice inside and helpful staff. Hand sanitizer is available at the entrance
Very clean and all employees wore mask. No surprise Amazon is beating them out though, they didn’t have any of the latest titles when it came to manga
Nice and mellow environment.
They have a pretty good variety of books
Good place to find books and helpful staff
Workers are amazing. Always helpful when finding any books
I enjoyed the co-marketing Starbucks inside while reading my manga.
Nice clean quiet place to shop for books.
Big, clean, good selection and Starbucks!
Called ahead for my book... It was ready at front check out counter. Everyone was polite, professional, wore face mask and followed social distancing. Staff appeared happy to be back serving our community. Im grateful to them all. Many thanks...
Staff is very attentive.
Love the puzzle selection.And magazine from the 🇬🇧 UK.
Staff in the store and Starbucks were super friendly. Was pleasantly surprised.
A person at the door only allowing a certain number of shoppers in the store at a time due to the COVID-19 issue. No problem. I like the concern.
Very nice employees and very willing to help you find what you need.
The staff in the coffee area were very wonderful
This store is always amazing to me. Few good books, gift cards and really cool book markers. Super nice store and people who enjoy working their!
Very helpful staff
High visibility security on site
Love this place. Well organized, spacious, all the employees are very helpful. I never leave without something interesting to read. Fresh stuff coming in constantly so its not the same old selection everytime. Its a book browsers candystore.Love it
Great spot of hard proof scripture ss
Got some good books and I always enjoy my time there. I like the vibes.
Clean, spacious, respectful staff, and adhering to social distancing! Could not complain if I wanted to.
Nice, spacious.
Store has been reorganized so hard to find what youre looking for but staff is wonderful
One of my favorite places! Great staff, pleasant environment and a lot of great deals if you look around a bit. It also has a Starbucks and clean bathrooms too. There is nothing like a real brick and mortar book store.
Great place to look for books or just to relax and read. Theres a cafe there with food, coffee and snacks. The Barnes & Noble employees are very helpful and nice! Definitely a 5 star location. Highly recommended!
Great service .
The selection is fantastic - but what merits the 5 stars is the helpful, knowledgeable staff. Tell them an authors name, a genre or a favorite recently read favorite of yours - and in a zip, they will hand you several great follow ups that you (might) never even had heard of - or considered. Go - your horizons will broaden.
Barnes & Noble is a wonderful place to go, and Ive been going there for years. They have books, all magazines, a wonderful cafe serving the best sweets & healthy snacks, and Starbucks coffee, and smoothies. Customer service is wonderful, and seating in the cafe & out. Good place to meet people of like minds. Quiet, peaceful, comforting, and enjoyable. Good place to spend a few hours.
Diabetic Cooking and Learning Brazilian Portuguese. They had exactly what I wanted and some hidden gems. Staff was super helpful.
Had basic election of books, I dont need to go there for politics. We are overwhel.ed by it everywhere else thank you!, ...cashier was unpleasant young man. It would do well by Barnes if they allowed continuance of dated membership cards due to long time closure which was nither customer nor staffs/business fault. The location was empty, such action as well as more beneficial pricing would encourage fuller customer presence/participation.
My kids and I love it we find books or birthday present
We love to visit here. They have got everything for everyone in the family.
Bought a couple books, Baldacci & find the cat brain game. A faith book marker & a nice pen.
Staff was incredibly helpful!
Bought a vinyl record online picked up in the store. You should take a look. I got a new Portishead double album there.
Great store with a Starbucks !
It is very big with lots of different books to buy. The staff are all very helpful with helping people find what they are looking for. The cafe is a great environment to just get work done amd relax. Its a really great place to be at. I highly recommend this place if you want a good a relaxing atmosphere. All around, its just really great.
Considering whats going on with Covid and the time of the day I went in, it was fairly quiet.
Nice Workers and always have a great time while I look for books.
Always great customer service.
I absolutely love going to Barnes & Noble, its a great place to just sit around and read a good book. They have fun little novelties, I personally love the brain teaser puzzles they sell, they make for fun gifts. The starbucks inside has great drinks and sweet treats.
Cool place to relax and read
Very nice staff, they are willing to help you find what youre looking for.
Had been doing some curbside pickup during the big shutdown, once they reopened I went in and realized how much good stuff to browse plus get a coffee.
This is a beautifully well-kept Barnes and Noble that is a little low on space but high on knowledgeable staff and great gift items. The lady working in the childrens section really knows her stuff and will go out of her way to help you find what youre looking for. If she cant find it in store or its out of print, shell give you advice on how to find it.Lots of folks hang out in the cafe here, it is a very comfortable environment for studying or working.
This location is always very clean and nice n cool during the summer. The employees are also very polite and professional. Would definitely recommend! Its a great place to just chill out, drink some Starbucks and read a book!
Great place to relax and read and review books.Best to belong to their discount program to save money.If you like to read then become a patron or Amazon will be your only alternative and the brick and mortar experience will all but disappear.Its worth paying a little more for the experience.
Being inside Barnes & Noble, in my opinion, you get this sense of comfort being around so much knowledge waiting to be thrown at you. And I have to admit, it is pretty overwhelming at the same time, because there is just so much too choose from. I really enjoy reading and in this digital age, I hope the day doesnt come when Barnes & Noble has to shut its doors due to technology becoming even more advanced. Having a book in one hand and a coffee in another, is a great combination.
AMBER was awesome and gave me the best Barnes and noble experience so now I’m a member ! Warm and welcoming environment
