Great customer service, wonderful collections of many books! Every category you can think of they have. Offers sales, toy section, digital tablet section, music, and Starbucks inside the store. Best gift to give, is always a Barnes and Noble gift card.

Something so amazing about visiting a book store. I found what looked like good books for a gift on-sale...bonus! Then I sat and read for a little bit myself. Relaxing. One other thing I love is the childrens area here too. Great way to get kids hooked on reading at a young age!

Barnes and Noble in Mayfair mall has much of what you expect from a big box mall bookstore. Plenty of selection for the avid reader. The coffeeshop is a nice place to meet someone or take a break from the rigors of malldom. Great to have 2 floors of books, and, to my mind, better to buy from a retailer who has a physical presence. Staff has always been helpful.

Was looking for a particular author. The sales associate was very helpful in finding the right area, and let me know of a new book to be released very soon. Definitely will return there.

I went to buy a dictionary/thesaurus for my mom and there was a scarce selection, which I get cuz Google is the new dictionary. But when I asked the girl at the counter if there was a big difference between the 2 options I had picked her response was Im not sure I dont read dictionaries very often. As if you have to read one to know. Maybe just be knowledgeable of what is in the store you work at? Or ask another associate?

Review №13

Basically like the last Barnes and noble even in the area it feels like. The selection is good and they usually have the new books right on the release date which is nice. The one weird thing is you cant always use Starbucks cards at the Starbucks inside bc its technically a BN or something

Order books and when I got there, I went to the service deck and no one came to help me.15 min waited. Only one cashier and long line of people waiting to pay. I ask her if anyone else working today. She had been calling for help. She called for help at the service deck. I went back to the deck and waited, finally someone came. I said you must short staff. She no giggling were all upstairs. I saw people got tired of waiting and left. Poor management

I love shopping and B&N! They have an amazing selection of books. It was great to see their diverse selection for even children. We went in to buy a book for our sons first Easter and walked out with three! Customer service was very fast at the checkout too!

Always love this place. Digital is convenient,but print is better! You never know if the internet will go off. Plus,you have physical proof of your purchase. During the pandemic the staff remind people to wear their masks correctly while in the store,while still having a friendly professional attitude. Lets be safe out there!

It has been a long time since I set foot in a bookstore (thanks, COVID and Amazon). I was very happy to see this place crowded. The book selection was good. Excellent anime and graphic novel section. Only 4 stars because it was a bit under-staffed and the line to check out was long.

Review №29

This Store was clean, had plenty of stock and was continuing to follow Covid protocol at the time of my visit. My only warning is if buying a childs book as a gift make sure to read all of the book before purchasing, as of late there strange writings in childrens books. A Starbucks Cafe is also tucked into this store.

Sarah & Matt at the coffee shop are super nice! I always get great advice from the staff for books to buy. Real helpful when Im shopping for someone who reads genres I dont. (Better than depending on random strangers comments online)Pros - coffee shop, Access from outside or through the mall, Clean bathrooms, knowledgeable staff, lots of magazines and kids books.Cons - none yet

Not sure why this is an outlet store they have the same stuff as the regular stores... No real discount at all. At least they were counting and limiting the number of people allowed in store.

Review №51

I was irritated with myself. I went on line for a Scrabble game and they said Barnes and Noble had them right??? Wrong..only the Scrabble dictionary and Scrabble history books and so forth..but its a lovely store yet they would have made my day if they had carried games to go with their books..I wouldve appreciated their attention to detail since they sold other stuff and Scrabble is Such A Popular Game.
