Barnes And Noble Cafe

It is heaven for book lovers. All varieties of books are available. Staff is helpful, quiet and very well organized.

Stores of this size with no one in them give me pause… how can they possibly survive? But sometimes, the less the merrier. The store was pretty empty of customers on a dreary Saturday afternoon but was otherwise pleasant and serene. Many helpful workers and tons of merch to choose from. Many items not found in other B&N stores.

Sally saw me wandering/searching, offered to help, found me all the books on my list (and ordered one to ship to home). AND applied an EXCELLENT coupon that I didn’t even know of (on top of my membership). Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff is such an asset, especially these days!! FYI she said they want people to come back into the store and with service like this, I surely will.

I love Barnes and Noble! One of my favorite things to do is find a bunch of interesting magazines and books, and then go through them at a cafe table with a pastry and a drink for sustenance. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I particularly enjoy the craft, art, travel, and biography sections, which offer great variety and get new titles regularly. They seem to have almost every book under the sun, and if by chance you are looking for something really arcane, they can order it for you and it arrives really promptly! No prepayment necessary. I also love their magazines, which range from the staid (Good Housekeeping) to the really weird (High Fructose, and of course, Weird NJ). They also have nifty toys, gifts, jigsaw puzzles, games, DVDs, you name it.

Love going to B&N! It's a very pleasant place to sit and read or have a snack and a beverage. There are outlets near the dining tables, should you wish to charge your device. It gets pretty busy so it's not always easy to find a table.
