Like what you can expect from a B&N branch that is in its own building, you can hang-out here with your laptop while drinking Starbucks coffee. Problem is, they dont have any electrical outlet to keep your laptop charged. I really do not mind paying for the outlet like in some of the airports but it will be great to have them for free and close to the tables. Any regular day, these tables can be mostly occupied. Off course the books are great reading. Large childrens place. I get most of my educational gifts from B&N since they have a good selection. Better than ordering online since you can see and feel it for yourself if your nieces/nephews will appreciate it.

This is a two-story B&N. Great place to pick up a manga, magazine or book to read. Theres also an impressive board game, DIY kit and other miscellaneous toy selection, upstairs Additionally, there is a starbucks cafe, and movie/music section. I rate this branch 4/5 stars: great selection of reading material, but -1 star for how crowded it can get, with limited sitting areas.

Books, books, more books, and a cafe. Our family comes here often. Sometimes we browse, sometimes we buy. The kids will do homework here before activities. The cafe is great for grabbing a beverage or snack. The kids hightail it upstairs to the kids section, while I tend to browse downstairs. The staff is friendly, but unobtrusive.

The current employee manning the upstairs music and video section is amazing! His knowledge of movies is extremely helpful in finding that obscure film buff movie. He also is very keen on keeping track of what is in stock and what isnt offhand, but still uses the computer to double. tdlr : he makes that section rock!

Like any B&N with a Starbucks at the back of the store. Large magazine area with some seating. The staff is pretty much at the registers. Hard to find any on the floor, except at the Customer Service area by the escalators. Finding a parking spot can be tough during the weekends because this B&N can get crowded.

I love this location. Its big, spacious and well light. Lots of natural light which is important to me. Theres a small Starbucks to get your coffee fix of the day. Lots of variety and book selection which I like, and well organized. The stuff is usually young, but friendly.

I used to roll in her to do work and study. They have a nice atmosphere and seats in the back next to the Starbucks. Plus, of course, most of the books you can handle. Two floors - filled with books and music related to pretty much everything!

This bookstore is great- the Childrens section is great, and kids can sit down and read comfortably. There is a Starbucks and a lot of books and magazines to choose from. Favorite book store.

So many cool and neat things you can find here, from really abstract books, maps, cool toys, movies, music, latest magazines, and there is also a Starbucks on the first floor.

Great spot to inspect and handle all the books you plan to buy later on amazon! Also consider actually purchasing books here just to keep the retail book store market alive.

Two story store with a relatively large technology and science section compared to other Barnes and nobles I have been too. Staff was very friendly and check out was quick!

Its a pretty typical Barnes and Noble. I like that they have a cafe, and their sci-fi collection is pretty good, but they care a lot of new age stuff I dont care about.

Sometimes the coffee isnt good. Especially with new employees there will be a lot of mistakes. I suggest trying your coffee before leaving. Very chill place to study.

I hope there will always be a place for Barnes no Nobles in todays world. So few of us read a real book anymore. The B and N is really big and has a wide selection.

Surprisingly good selection of board games and toys/figures, and a bigger than average media section. One of the better and bigger Barnes and Noble locations.

One of the nicer B&N stores. Parking is a little difficult in this area but better than the mall (next door)

Similar to any other B&N, but the check-out staff was completely unfriendly.
