Clean school bookstore where things felt properly spaced and not crammed in the most minimum space possible. Staff was helpful and available in both the cafe and the primary bookstore areas. Some areas were more sparsely apportioned than others but definitely still a solid selection for your campus bookstore needs including a large selection of quality college branded merchandise.
Its a large, ample store that sells everything but books. You can get Kean University paraphernalia like clothes and license plates, food and office supplies. They do have a rather sad collection of miscellaneous leftover books in the back of the store, but cordoned off (covid?) and not looked after at all.
Love the bookstore, and they have many things to explore besides books, the apparel super nice and was also able to buy coffee.. yay!! Coffee much need it to stay on point.. 😉
The bookstore is always well organized and the staff are always pleasant and friendly.
I always find very good used books. The bookstore is always well organized and the staff are always pleasant and friendly.
Regarding my recent visit on 4/1, the woman working at the register with the fake blond braids displayed poor customer service. She was attempting to rush the customers out of the store more than 15 minutes before the scheduled closing time while customers were shopping. I will be reporting this to the corporate headquarters. The Poorly Managed staff at this location need to be re-trained.
I love it so much I really like it ❤️💕💕💕💕
This bookstore requires rented books to be returned prior to the official end of the semester.This 2020 fall semster had an issue with them. Went to retunr books the first business day after the end of the semester. Due to COVID!( issues had the bookstore print a UPS return lable for an outstanding book. Shipped it the same day. A week and a half later, the store automantically billed for the book. Billed for a returned book when adivsed it was sent and received by UPS tracking. There is no sensitivity in this bookstore or care for the students. Even in COVID times.
Pretty helpful and willing to show you around.
Its a college book store. Not much to expect. You have your mix of nice and mean employees. The people working in the text book department note always a happiest. Price matched a book and the little skinny guy got on in a huff when I showed him the price was lower and through the paper at me and said just go pay. Captured audience
Mediocre customer service and the books are over priced. I feel like they automatically say they don’t have the used book to get the new sale price on the books.. If you have time look elsewhere before purchasing here
Good place to grab coffee and Kean merchandise. The book selection is extremely limited as the majority of the retail space is conquered by Kean-themed clothing. If you are looking for something specific, call and check ahead of time! Textbook rentals and returns are easy and the tech shop has a surprisingly large array of laptop power cables. The café staff is always friendly, however the coffee is not nearly as good as Rock n Joes nearby.
I give this a 1 star because, why does it close on 2pm Saturday and 5pm on Friday? Fortunately there are GOOD Barnes and Nobles that I can trust. I definitely would choose the ones in Paramus NJ and Woodbridge NJ.
This place is a great for all your text book, school supplies, clothes, snack, and every day needs. Love the staff here as they are so attentive and helpful with all your questions. Im a new Graduate student here so Ill be using the bookstore for awhile, Im more than thrilled to be using this bookstore!!📖
I like the book store, although it closes a bit too early for my liking. Check their schedule if you plan to study late at night. Still it is a college bookstore, so I cant complain too much. There are other options when they close. I do prefer a Barnes and Noble type environment over other options.
What a great idea to have Barnes& noble right there on campus. food, snacks and drinks even better. students have a safe place to hang out.
Its easy to get to. They have books and other items that would suit the college students on campus. Nice atmosphere and the staff very professional and very polite.
Keans book store was very nice. It was part of a well stocked general merchandise Kean store. Everything was great except for the price of college books, which Ill never understand...
Its a helpful place in case you urgently need a stationary item before class. Its more expensive than other places, so I would not recommend it for extensive stationary shopping. It has kean spirit items like shirts and sweat pants. It also sells/rents textbooks for descent prices. The store has Starbucks too. They take flex dollars.
Overpriced college books for a university that suppose to be affordable. Another reason I am giving this location 1 star is because of the Starbucks in this location is very unsanitary. I will not buy any hot drinks or food since i saw an employee from this location used a rag they used to clean the counter then used that same rag to clean off the nozzle used to warm the milk for my coffee. I will avoid this Starbucks establishment even if there is no other place to get a coffee near by. I even went to the train station to get coffee which I have never bought a coffee from the train station since I started going to this University. This will be my 4th year now in the spring and it is a disappointment that me being a huge Starbucks client that I will never buy any hot drinks and food from this location!
Great supply of study and stationary material. Nice ambient music too.
Very nice and helpful staff. If you need Kean supplies or gear, Id recommend coming here (if you have the money).
Cool but noisy.its not a library so dont expect quiet
I just went in to pick up my books for the semester
People work there, are very polite, and clean, organized...😊😊😊😊
Its basically a Starbucks with a school store. No big selection of 📚 s, they have whatever is listed at Kean U courses, school supplies and clothing. Starbucks inside, its a good place to have a quick coffee, that no doubt.
Nooks are definitely over priced but thats college for ya, but the connected Starbucks is great and they have a chill lounge where you can relax and do your homework.
Could not find what I was looking for and they dont have enough people on the floor to answer your questions. If you need help finding something to better find who is going to help you.
Very good selection of books. As well as a starbucks. Ideal place to kickback and get a good study sesh in.
Nice selection of school theme items, Starbucks and a narrow selection of non-school books and other reading material.
This starbucks has a hotdog wrapped in like a croissant looking thing (dont know the name) but it is very good..like fresh good, I got it for breakfast one morning and it was great!..if you have a free tmobile starbucks coffee for an iced or hot tall coffee (they dont take it here at Kean universitys Starbucks).
Good variety. Big store
I shop here lots because its also part Starbucks and boy is the atmosphere great
Nice bookstore with a Starbucks. Part of the GLAB building on Kean University Campus.
Quiet place where you can read, drink an expensive coffee, and work. B&N with a cozy coffee-shop.
I found the staff to be very helpful and went out of their way to help me with all of my questions and concerns.
The employees were extremely helpful and patient.
My schhol bookstore is cool and the food is tasty.
Great place to wait between classes, as the Starbucks is less busy than the other two on campus
If you want bad service. Go to Keans cafe. If you want food that is not fresh. Go to Keans cafe.
Meet your needs and supplies for your classes. Courteous staff and quick checkout.
Besides the ridiculous prices for the books and merch, pretty good bookstore
