😽 Favorite store for souvenirs, books and magazines. Here you will find a large number of small Lego sets, toys, cool board games, films and vinyl records.

It has wide range of books and toys for all age groups. My best section was manga ones and even the way "scarlet" help to choose books in most of the tag was impressive.

I was impressed with this B and N location. There is ample parking and most of the sections were thoroughly stocked and complete with staff recommendations in all sections throughout the store. Quite notably, the sci-fi and fantasy sections had a wide variety of authors and not just the typical, mainstream authors you typically encounter. I found the staff to be friendly and aware but not intrusive realizing a reader familiar with the stor lay out. The children's section was also rich with stock and offerings and this being a Friday night where you might expect things to be a bit disorderly. Of course, this location has a coffee shop with Starbucks' goods and a modest seating area to enjoy.

The book store is great but some of the staff at the in store stuckbucks cafe are quite rude. The service here has always been a gamble. Sometimes you get the friendly “hi”. Other times they clearly are not ready to help. Today’s experience was the most horrible one yet. I was asked what base I wanted for my drink, which confused me. I told them cream. After my order came out it was just a full cup of whipped cream. Afterwards they just walked away without saying a word. Maybe they were having a bad day but they should not be taking it out on the customers. I feel that this is very unprofessional and should not be the norm. The experience really polluted the amazing atmosphere of the bookstore. I sure won’t be getting coffee here again.
Pros: large selection of books, toys, and games that was fun to play with and explore, lots of seating in the cafe area, cafe staff was friendly Cons: the floor throughout the store, and especially in the children's section looks like it hasn't been vacuumed in weeks. There was trash, dust bunnies, hair tumbleweeds, etc everywhere. Our toddler kept finding gross trash all over while exploring the children's section. Also, the men's restroom was pretty dirty and smelled of urine. We've seen gas station restrooms much much cleaner. We decided that we would rather travel extra miles in the other direction to visit a different BnN location in the future unless this place gets a good cleaning.
Love my bookstores. Still getting used to layout and how they organize the books. Frustrating when you go for your faves and have to ask where they are. Good selections though

Good to see a good sized bookstore still operating. I'm as guilty as anyone else of buying ebooks from Amazon but still, it warms my heart to stand among a good selection of books and flip through book jackets. I hope this bookstore survives and thrives.

I always enjoy this Barnes and Nobles and their friendly staff. Grateful for their toy section. 2022-09-09 BN has redesigned many displays. I really like the openness and the expanded toy section!

The place is spacious, welcoming, and not crowded. It got an ample collection of children's books.
A nice place to drink knowledge, wide choices of books and magazines in English, you can read any book while drinking coffee or tea.
