Barnes & Noble Booksellers

I would give no star if I could. This store is horrible! The customer service is awful. The lady in the children’s book department was very unhelpful and acted like I was bothering her when I asked about anything. Then to top it off after I had purchased something another worker rudely asked us to come back in after another person walking through the door set off the alarm! Incredibly rude experience. The only good of it was the nice young gentleman who checked us out. He gets 5 stars from me.

Clean café and was conducive to a study environment. The guys in the café was really friendly and my Americano was good. I will return.

I visited the store tonight looking for a couple of books. Being on crutches it’s difficult for me to get around. There were two employees who went to find the books I wanted so I didn’t have to walk around the whole store. They were so helpful and it was greatly appreciated. When I went to check out the cashier couldn’t have been more polite. Thank you.

The workers were not very helpful! After waiting 20mins… I was pointed in the wrong direction.

Have no idea how to rate a bookstore thats standard but four stars would be for convenient location to me. So happy to find a bookstore in this little city.lol. When ur new to a place… ah. magazine sec​tion​.travel. business. Décor… right at home. Im in a book maze… but Im happily lost here! Open til 9 on Sunday. yayyy…

One of my favorite hotspots in town. The Haywood location is nice so that I don’t have to drive all the way downtown from our place on Pelham. I know most of the baristas by name and they know me. It’s a nice vibe, very inclusive, I always feel welcome. They have tons of political newspapers too, not just The Economist and Newsweek and at least a dozen bridal magazines! The only minus is getting out of the parking lot is dangerous and people have accidents there all the time.

Wow, I’m updating my review as I sit here and TRY to study for my Online class. This music is ridiculous, I mean how many of the workers used to work at American eagle? It’s ridiculous that a book store thinks that this is the kind of music conducive to reading or studying.

I would agree with some previous reviews that complained about the volume level of the music. The music is overbearingly loud and the opposite of conducive to reading or conversing.
The store’s layout is somehow different from all the other Barnes & Noble stores I have been in. The stores seems wide and shallow, and I’m sure they tried to work with the space they had, but I have a difficult time finding things here, and then I have a difficult time finding employees to help me find something.
As a resident of Ontario, I do not have membership cards to stores that are not in Ontario, and Barnes and Noble is one of those stores. I always immediately say where I live and that I don’t have Barnes and Noble there, and so I don’t need a membership card. Even after I said this, a cashier in the café kept pushing me to get one. I had to say three times that I would have no use for it at home before she said, «Oh, right, I don’t think we have stores in Canada.» Listening to your customers can go a long way, B&N café gal.
The selection at this store is typical, and they offer free WiFi.

Nice B&N although I would generally recommend the Woodruff one if you can make it there, that one is much nicer.

I like this location WAY more than Woodruff Road. Some other reviewers say it is too cramped and too noisy. I disagree. This place gives me energy and the ideas flow. Every staff person has been friendly and professional.

Had a meeting here today in the café. The lady behind the counter said she couldn’t believe I wasn’t ordering coffee. It is my prerogative to not like coffee, this is still America? I ordered a scone and water, at least I paid for something and just didn’t take the space for free while reading a book that I was not going to purchase either.
I had the Cranberry Orange Scone which tasted like it was made with a sourdough base. Eeh! My meeting was very nice however and I will deeply consider whether to go back or not.

This particular Barnes & Noble is always freezing cold and the music is Abercrombie & Fitch loud.
Like many people, I go to book stores to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet, maybe even have a seat and read a chapter or two out of a book I might buy… but I can’t even think straight when I’m in this B&N. Shame.

I’m going to second the other review here in saying that this store is extremely small and cramped. The layout also wasn’t very well organized & I ended up retracing my steps looking for certain areas. While I had no problems finding a place to sit in the café area, all of the comfy chairs scattered throughout the store were full. I really wasn’t impressed by the selection of books. In fact, I couldn’t find one of my favorite authors even though she is featured at every other B&N I’ve ever walked into. The employees were nice and the building is clean overall, but just not my favorite. Try the newer location on Woodruff instead!

This Barnes & Noble is way too little & cramped for my liking. During the school year this store is always packed out! So, if you want a place to sit, sip coffee, & flip through some mags then definitely go to the new bigger Barnes & Noble on Woodruff.
