Review β„–1

Very nice bookstore located in the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, VA. Ive been there for the very first time and really liked it. Huge variety of books, different areas, different interests, many great world famous, as well as less known authors. Also lots of magazines, calendars and diaries. Id say that everyone may find something interesting for himself or herself. πŸ˜πŸ“šπŸ“–πŸ“•πŸ‘πŸ» And when you finish with your shopping, you may have a seat in a nice small cafeteria and get a cup of good coffee. β˜•πŸ˜Š Highly recommend it.πŸ‘πŸ»

Has a new feeling with the updated layout. The back gate closes at 8:30pm, so have everything you want to accomplish inside the mall done before then or you will have to walk around.Also, the Starbucks in the store shuts the oven down early even though the store closes at 9. So dont get your hopes up for a hot bakery item or sandwich because its too much for them to push a button to heat a convection oven back up in 5 minutes.

Excellent staff; but the variety is often lacking. However, it cant be expected there carry every single book in their catalog. The store would have to be 10 times its size. So for how big the store is, the selection isnt bad.

I like Barnes and Noble. Because it looks nice inside, and I like how it has more than just books it has toys and stuff that people are interested in. I know this is not Barnes and Nobles fault but I see a lot of children wondering around with no parents watching them.

Okay first this isn’t in regards to BN themselves but the cafe. The cashier Alicia is extremely rude toward customers. When asked if they had certain menu items she responded in a snippy tone. She has a very poor customer service attitude and this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered this attitude. A few times I’ve been completely ignored when I’ve entered the cafe. I’m sure it gets busy and I realize people have bad days but this is the third time I’ve encountered this and quite frankly it’s getting old.

Love coming to Barnes and Noble. I like the inexpensive books they have as you come in the front door. Wish their prices were a little cheaper

Went looking for books for the grand children for Easter. As usual, great selection of childrens books at great prices. The only problem I had was there we only one cashier and the line was about 12 people long. The cashier didnt seem to care enough to call for help. Other than that, it was a great visit, as usual.

Their Sci-Fi section is very limited, and they carry best-sellers and newer releases so older items wont be there, but the YA section was very nice, and theres always something interesting for the kids.

I came at 6:50 to pick up a book for my class. I went to buy a cookie at the cafe, they had already closed the cashiers, and refused to work out anything with me despite it being 10 minutes before closing. I walked to the back to look at available books in the medicine section, but it was blocked off due to construction. No alternative was offered. I love Barnes and Noble, but this location has horrible customer service.

Your classic Barnes and Noble store.Plenty of books, though the one my wife was looking for was not in stock. The vinyl section has shrunk and most were 25% off. Maybe the vinyl boom is over? The CD section was even smaller.

Review β„–65

This B&N is big and bright and well organized. You enter from the parking lot and theres so much to catch your attention. It is a great way to get inside the mall. But if you are looking for presents or entertainment you might not need to go into the mall. As someone who struggles with limited mobility there is space to move around. My wife always finds presents for everybody. The bargain bins have good titles. The cafe area is comfortable seating for browsing or after buying. If you buy a book or magazine before you go to the cafe your receipt will often have a food or beverage offer on it such as buy one cookie get one free. Its a nice treat.

I love love love Barnes & Noble. Found everything we needed except a cashier. With 2 exits, I would think that a register on each end of the store would be the preferred way to deter shop lifting. Just an observation from a former retail manager.

Very nice. A great place to buy books, magazines, graphic novels,CD, DVDs. A big kids section with toys and books..can also buy board games and calendars. There is a Starbucks inside which I highly reccomend. All genres of books . Go buy a book and sit in Starbucks and read it. Free wifi to.

Review β„–79

The store is nice, the employees are nice and helpful. However, I would never take my kids. There was a person there, blaring very blantant R rated music on their cell phone while looking through the store and no one told them to tone it down (maybe they were scared to say something?). The lyrics were uncomfortable to say the least. If I had my kiddos with me, we would have just left. Same thing at the cafe area upon waiting for my coffee - a handful of kids popping off questionable words and comments like it was nothing - loud enough to be heard from others in the vicinity. This wouldnt change my mind about stopping by from time to time, but it would stop me from going with my family.
