It was my first time going shopping in an Amazon Books store ( I didnt know they actually had a store you can go inside & shop.) It had a fairly good section of different types of books, fancy greeting cards and home electronic gadgets like Echo. They probably stock their popular & best seller products. But if your looking for a particular type of book your best bet is to look online. π
Very nice store. Been wanting to go and finally did and I wasnt disappointed. But watch price on signs. They have two, one for non Amazon customers and one for Amazon customers. And this also makes it easier for check out thru the app.
My favorite UTC bookstore. Great selection and service to help find anything you need. Amazon returns here accepted. No complaints
Its a nice place with plenty of books! The service is polite!
Good bookstore with interesting Amazon electronic products and gadgets of all sorts. In fact there are actually too many of those items and not enough space and emphasis on actual books and reading. Its like a B&N Bookstore shrunk by 2/3 size and then throwing out 1/2 of the books and added back all manner of Amazon products. The name of the store should be changed to Amazon & Books.
Interesting book store but not as extensive as Barnes and noble. Ordering from Amazon would probably just be easier but I understand the appeal of a physical store.
I do wish they had a bigger shop but what they do have instore is already a pretty good selection.
Not many books. Best to just shop online
Neat being able to shop for books with the ratings directly underneath.
Staff was incredibly helpful, and I found a great book.
Okay selection but feels a little lifeless and manufactured. If you have the time to go to a brick and mortar shop just support an independent book store!
A small store that carries a healthy variety of books (rated 4 stars and up on Amazon), as well as a selection of gadgets. There are fiction, travel, language, kids, biographies and more. Each section has a dozen or more books. Friendly and fun, especially now that many book stores are disappearing.
Addicted, Seen lots of Books I will be purchasing. Great Store
AMAZON brick and mortar store is more fun than its online business. Childrens books and Amazon Echo devices are just my starting point.
Book store is amazing and has very cool things but the worker was incredibly rude. i asked her if there was a discount for prime members and she said to me βif you wouldβve read the screen, you would know that there is a discountβ. i was so taken aback that i didnβt know how to respond. she then continued by saying βi just need to have a recording of myself saying the instructionsβ extremely passive aggressively, because it is so hard for her to answer this question? there was no line, and the store was not busy at all. terrible customer service and zero patience.
Great service, staff was attentive.
Its like a big airport gadget shop. Nice deals (of course) for Prime members. So far the place with the most complete collection of smart everything, besides the books themselves of course. Nice selection of board games too.
Brandon this is the three dudes who bought chainsaw man book 3 u where very cool.
This store has a large variety of new books and the space is very clean. A very helpful girl helped me today regarding audio books info.
Great selection of books and various Amazon products.
First time in an Amazon books store! I appreciated the collection of current popular books and being able to flip through them in person while also getting the good price that Iβm used to on Amazon.
Location provided by good maps is false. Just park near corner bakery and reach to gap. The store is near gap. I had hard time finding this store via maps
The selection is limited by the size of the store. Great for younger readers for the selection offerings.
The layout of this store is not conducive to an easy shopping experience. There is not natural flow and therefore hard to shop without feeling pressured to move quickly. Also the signs are all digital which is fine but the text is to small to read without getting right up to it which slows you down even more. Over all the staff is good and selection is moderate. I would say just stick to Prime online.
Theybl dont have the good books that are useful like MCAT, GRE, DAT, and LSAT.
Nice to look around and browse.
If youre like me and love discovering cute second hand book shops then you will love this place.They have a great number of used and new books which include classic literature to mythology to politics. Basically, there are books covering a lot of diverse topics!
I love this store. I bought a new 4K TV and needed a new Fire Stick. The shipping time on Amazon was about 5 days so I decided to come to the store to buy one. They had plenty in stock. My son found a book he wanted and the price was excellent since we received our Prime pricing. Previously when we have come what we have wanted has been in stock. The employees are very helpful and polite. This has vastly become one of my favorite stores to visit.
Its a very small bookstore with a very limited book selection. Definitely recommend it if you want to feel out the Amazon electronics before buying.
Really great books on display, I spent close to hour reading some of the new releases
Nice city park
They have Dune10/10
Interesting place.
The staff is very nice and store is good organized.
Nice place!First time at a Amazon book store and it was clean and organized. Good prices if you have Prime. I like that the selection of books in the store are top sellers.
They are amazing to go to but I need to have money on a card but they do have prices for Amazon prime members.
Great store, clean, nice staff. Has quite a good selection of books too.
I am surprised Amazon opened a book store after it put all of the brick & mortar stores out of business. I went in just to see what they had. About half the store is electronics (Alexa, earphones) and other half is books. The store was nice and the people were nice.
This place is fun. just go in and youll find some interesting things in here. the attendant are friendly and helpful too.
Im a big advocate for Barnes and Noble, since I feel like libraries, book stores, and print in general is going out of style sadly. But this store is a very neat concept that I feel will bring print to the forefront again. Its like any other book store (kind of limited selection if youre looking for an unpopular/super specific book), but you get Amazons pricing, and some items are discounted for prime members!
Great shopping experience packed into a small store. Excellent selection of books, and Amazon products. Fun for kids too.
I had returns for Amazon and they scanned the returns immediately and sent me an email. Easy as can be. I know there is another review here where they dropped off a return but i did not have any issues at all. Everyone was friendly. The associate had the scanner right in her hand.
Great staff. Decent popular book selection. Gets kind of busy due to peoples returns. Line moved quickly enough
I love the ability to return my online orders (that I dont want to keep) to this location. Its very, very convenient. And the staff at UTC is always very accommodating.
Great place to grab a quick gift. Lots of childrens books and a variety of good electronics like Alexa compatible devices. They do take Amazon returns.
I find it a lot of fun but its not really like other bookstores. The selection is limited to whats popular on Amazon. However that has a benefit as well. Product reviews are shown with all the books. Plus you can check out with Amazon so theres no need to check the website for a better price.
Tiny subset of wares that can be found on Amazon. If you want it now, and its stocked, great. Chances are, the thin selection leaves me wanting.
Love this store wish it was Costco size. Anyways the lady that helped me with an exchange was great. I forget her name...
Nice place. A little small for my tastes. The book topics dont go as deep as I would like. Friendly staff, and good selection. They dont accept cash, but will give you a discount if you are a prime member.
You can always find lots of interesting gadgets in the front section. Also great that they honor their Amazon prime
Very kind staff. book collection smaller than barnes&noble but intuitive and interesting. Also good for returning amazon orders.
I really like the Amazon book stores. Its nice to hold and read a book before buying it. I like that the selection of books in the store are top sellers. I really like the use of my Amazon account to buy stuff in the brick n mortar.
Great store, great staff, unbelievably fantastic mall (UTC). Worth a visit. Way more there than books
My first visit to an Amazon bookstore. Small but good selection. Im not sure why it exists unless its a loss leader to get you into the Amazon system. Still a nice little bookstoreLOTS of construction at UTC. Free parking less than 2 hours
Staff is very friendly and helpful. The selection is extensive and offers not only a bookstore, but a place to return your amazon purchases. The store is easy on the eyes and is very clean.
The mall is a good place to go and shop when you have nothing to do that day, that is until you walk into a store with staff like this, was monitored by 2 different employees to what I assume was to make sure I didnt steal anything. Very uncomfortable feeling, didnt feel welcome at all, definitely will not be going back to that Amazon location.
All the popular Amazon stuff in person. Couldnt ask for a better store.
Really smooth, and pretty thoughtful selection of items. The store was relaxed in atmosphere and the staff were friendly.
Everytime we come to UTC with the kids we almost always stop by here. I guess I shouldnt stay stop by since we stay for a minimum of a half hour. Kids love looking through and reading new and old books. Not sure why they seem to be more interested in reading a book here that we already have at home, but whatever gets them reading.
Great selection of of 4-5 star books and Amazon electronics. Friendly staff. This location is actually quite popular, so it gets a little crowded in here. Great place to bring your kids to let them check it a book first before you buy it.
I love all bokk shops. Browsing real books in a real store... Amazon this the right thing. Thank you for an amazing afternoon of book browsing...
Great book variety and one of very few Amazon stores. Highly recommend if youre into reading
Pretty cool place, I find it funny that Amazon even has brick and mortar stores, I wish the employees knew the technical aspects of the Kindles they sell, our guy didnt even know the waterproofing on the new Kindle (this was after the first guy didnt know what we were asking)But I like it, the arent any prices listed, Im guessing this is because they just use the current Amazon price? They even have the if you liked this, then youll love this placards just like the site.Pretty cool place!
The staff were absolutely wonderful. You could ask questions about any product in the store and there they were with the answer. I even got a few book recommendations based on what I held in my hand and they did not disappoint.
The UTC Mall has a great vibe, but not many stores for me to browse in -especially since Sears closed. So this bookstore is great for me. Its rather small - its no Barnes and Noble - but its got plenty to offer. The sports section is REALLY limited - I only saw one book on golf. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
Well stocked and friendly atmosphere.
Its a tidy, organized and sharp store. I wish it could have more room and plenty of other locations near the rest of San Diego.
This is always my favorite stop in the mall. I never fail to find something cool and interesting!
I was fortunate enough to visit the first Amazon bookstore in Seattle when it first opened, so when I heard there was one opening here in San Diego, I had to check it out! A bit smaller but the staff here are so much friendlier. Helpful too, as they carefully introduce you to the Amazon/Prime ecosystem if you dont know much about it. The selection of books are rated 4 stars and up from Amazon reviewers, so I doubt youll find a bad book. Be forewarned though, as they dont have a huge selection, so if your looking for some obscure book then it probably wont be here.
Due to Covid-19 need to stand in line for quite a while.
Nice book displays, well organized, but both times I have been it was pretty crowded and hard to move around the store/displays.
Awesome place. 1st time there. Lots to see, and buy. Hope to go again soon
If they had said welcome to not only just white people but to others as well, I d have given 5 stars. Other than that, I do like the store.. great place to visit (if ur white I infer)
Its ok. Id rather just order from Amazon. There are some decent things here. This is more like a time killer shop.
Workers were helpful, corporate just needs to accept cash. If they do accept cash, I wasnt given that option and books were a bit out of order.
Didnt have what I went there for, but still had great deals for Prime members. Left happyβ£
Good bookstore but do not expect a big one as in London
Amazon Books has new and used books, magazines, and the new york times available. its a combination of Books, Inc. and Moes Books (a berkeley institution).Dog was the busiest book store ive found in the mission.
I always like to see and feel what I want to buy before I get it. Being at this bookstore gives the price of the online retailer and the satisfaction of instant having it
You walk in and it kinda looks like any run of the mill Barnes and Noble. What makes Amazon books is if youre a prime member, you answer a barcode with your phone and you gets really good discounts on all the books. Every time I go in I end up buying at least one book. Check it out if you can
I love this store!!! If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get the same discounts at this store.m, just make sure you have the Amazon app to show the cashier. Great selection of books!! Only Amazon can bring bookstores back!
Badly organized. The book, βBorn a Crime,β had review cards at some shelves, while other shelves containing the book did not have one. Employee attitude can improve. Also, the kids section contained a book that the author specifically stated to be for ages 12 and above. Thatβs not for children, is it?
Amazon books and other Amazon products like Echo dot, Kindles, and smart home devices. Good place to try out hands on Amazon products.
I love being able to browse and still pay the Amazon prime price!
Meh...
Loved it, especially since they had special prices for prime members.
Ok. Straight up I have to tell you I have an addiction to bookstores. I am going to walk in every one I pass by. Whats great about the Amazon store is sections by popularity on Amazon. 5 star books. Favorites in San Diego. Most popular Kindle reads. I like that because it has exposed me to new genres I would not necessarily try, but if so many other readers really recommend a title, Ill give it a try. I wouldnt find it by just checking the website. Great childrens section.
First time at a Amazon book store and it was clean and organized. Good prices if you have Prime. Though I felt like the store was going to be a lot bigger, like an Amazon warehouse. Haha
What can go wrong with a well organized place. Love Amazon books. friendly helpful staff
First time I walked into an Amazon Books store. A bit small in appearance, but has good deals for Amazon Prime members. I hope to find more Amazon stores outside of cyberspace.
Nice bookstore, with other electronic gadgets, and they allowed me to return something i had ordered online. Great service!
I really like this store. Their Amazon recommendation system thing is really cool, and its easy to find things I wouldnt know to look for
Went on Sunday...door was locked (815PM). Holiday hours poster on the window said...Open until 10PM. Knocked on the door, and employee was very annoyed by me asking..Are you closed?. He said yes and I pointed out that the sign on the window said 10PM....Well we are closed...sorry. Love Amazon, but looks like I caught them on an off day.
Very friendly and cheerful cashier. I enjoyed my experience there. Keep up the good work.
