Barnes Noble Cafe

Nice outing for the children. The store was clean! However, no seating for those with disabilities in the children's area. Also, the prices of books starting at $19.99 is insane!! Probably one of the last time I'll bring my children to an actual bookstore. Smh.

Well the place did have some good ideas like local authors etc, but somehow felt that it lost its mojo. As a book liver I missed the old excitement that Barnes and Noble offered. But still a great place to visit, just ot the place it once was.

Plenty of book, game educational selections Peaceful place to read there, or take it home. Plenty of parking and handicap ?? accessibility. I am going there again soon.

I never write reviews but I am so very disappointed in this store. It used to be so good and nice and organized, but it?s gone down hill. A few months ago I was so excited to see a section in fiction books dedicated to Black Authors. I bought several books from that section, and thought it was a very nice way to highlight Black authors. I went in there yesterday to find out that the Black Authors section had been removed. A bookseller informed me that ?it didn?t sell well and they didn?t see any differences in sales?. The bookseller also said that she wished the section was back. But to me, that?s messed up. Instead of highlighting POC authors, they care more about money and sales. I really enjoy the current romance section where they have selected Black authors and LGBTQ+ authors pulled out and signs indicating that those books are on separate shelves. I hope that doesn?t go away soon. Why not display marginalized groups to help them be known and more common??? I?ve had issues with the store manager, Liz, in the past. She is always very rude and has a nasty attitude. Some of the booksellers are angels and always are eager to help me. But if I only see her at customer service I won?t ask for help. I?ll look around for another bookseller in the store. One time at customer service, a bookseller was helping me and Liz made some kind of comment at the bookseller (I don?t remember what it was) and the bookseller?s face totally fell and I knew she felt uncomfortable and dejected. I asked this bookseller when she brought me to my book if Liz was in a bad mood or something and the bookseller wouldn?t answer my question, just brushed it off and laughed, but I could see her body language was uncomfortable and sad. Even the booksellers don?t like the store manager! I would rather spend the extra 20 minutes to go to the Barnes Noble in Edison.

Books and Magazines are good as always. Bathrooms as usual are not maintained on a steady schedule. No toilet paper and no hand towels to was hands.

I hadn't been in a book store in a while. It was clean and well stocked. We found what we were looking for semi easily... not many people hanging out and reading. 0 kids in the children's area

A great collection of books! The store was quite well maintained as well! They had all genres and also the new releases. The store was quite clean too! Things you can buy here: Books (obviously! ; accessories for reading like bookmarks, traditional ones and unconventional as well; calendars; selective games They also have an in-house Starbucks which makes it easier if you want to grab a coffee or read while having one!
