Barnes & Noble

This location was very neat and well-organized. We came here for the kids section to find some holiday gifts. I am not sure if it is a cookie-cutter, same everywhere, but my local B&N is an older, small store, so this location's kid section was quite impressive. It was very well maintained and had a wide selection of everything you could want for the kids. My only complaint is that they put a big toy section in front of the books and almost caused a meltdown in my kids even before getting to the books.

Not so great was the Starbucks. The coffee was fine, but the service was incredibly slow and a bit disorganized with my order coming out in waves - cookies, coffee, snacks, etc. Unlike most of Miami shopping, the parking situation was pretty good.

I love coming here! This where I went after a movie in the shopping center next door and although it's changed over the years it still has a wonderful selection of goods, games, records (on the second floor). My favorite part is that back in the day my parents would bring me here and now that my parents are older they want to get back into reading more themselves. I love that their Spanish section is bigger than I have seen at other B&Ns. You make your selection, enjoy a coffee/treat at the cafe, and find books to sit in throughout the store. This store reminds me that people still love physical stores and media and is always a pit stop when I'm back home.

My family and I are connoisseurs of Barnes and Noble. In fact, that very store is what kept my family and me sane during our three-year stint in Minot, ND. Therefore, I feel like I can honestly say through my B&N prowess that this is one for the books.

What can I say about this place that the pictures don't show? The store is huge, it's massive, it's two full floors with a cafe and a rather large Hispanic section. In one week I must have visited this place at least three to four times.

Some B&Ns have a rather large game section, this one did not. However, it does have a significant kid's section, a religious section with multiple shelves of bibles, and a nicely sized history section.

Just trust me, this place is great! Go, enjoy, and read more.

Enjoy!

Do you remember, as a kid, the first time you walked in a ToysRUs, or if you don't, when you first took a kid to one? That open-mouth excited bewildered expression on their faces, running from aisle to aisle, not knowing where to start from? Well, that's a similar feeling I get when I walk into Barnes and Noble. That image of shelves and shelves of books as I run from classical literature to fantasy to philosophy to anthropology to non-fiction. Looking for my favorite authors, the latest books, even the smell of the books. In an age of digital libraries and audio books, I still enjoy the feel and the value of a physical book. With Starbucks being present in pretty much every remaining Barnes and Noble, I can spend hours drinking a latte and reading a book. Unfortunately I don't usually have hours at my disposal.

Even the toy/game area they have for kids has fun and mind engaging games. When my kids were younger, going to a Barnes and Noble was one of our favorite activities. The second we walked in, each one would go in a different direction looking for their favorite area. Not too long ago I bought a D&D book from there and the whole family spent a summer playing D&D.

This specific store even has a music area on the second floor,or at least they used to have one, which shockingly I have never ventured to. I don't seem to get passed the books.

Just as someone said below, same excitement as a kid in a toy store, i get this excited at Barnes and Noble (or any book store in general). They have a ton of variety, very organized and I haven't stepped into one in a long time but now they have lots of games and legos and puzzles and toys.
Lost a star as it is OVERPRICED. my nieces love books but they have so many at home, all they wanted were some plushies. one was okay with a small $10 plush but the other really wanted this really cute dinosaur. it was $20! just a different brand than the other plushy, same size, but it was a really nice quality so i guess there's the $10 up charge. Even some of the books were overpriced. good thing i only come here to browse and i'll find what i like at Amazon or at a thrift store for half the price (or even less!).
Ive never been into a dirty Barnes and Nobles, this was extremely clean and like i said, well organized.
a downside of this visit is that the down escalators were broken :/. i'm sure it happens, we had to use the stairs. it's okay but if my mom or some other elderly, incapacitated person came along they would need an elevator or something. also, no employees on the floor? there was probably like 5-6 employees behind the desk but absolutely no one walking around so we couldn't even ask questions if we had them.
all-in-all, it was a decent experience for a Barnes and Nobles. plenty of parking and near many other stores and restaurants so you can take a longer stroll if you wanted too.

I enjoy coming here to because I love being surrounded by books and having for myself a cup of coffee. Just like any other B&N establishment, they have many books under many different categories with the children's section located on the first floor and the music/audio section located on the second floor. They sell a lot of stationary and cards, and surprisingly, a lot of toys and games, as well.

There's a Starbucks Cafe to the right side of the store as you enter, which sells pretty much everything a stand alone Starbucks sells. However, they don't take Starbucks gift cards since they are under B&N establishment but if you have the B&N membership, discounts do apply at the cafe. And depending on what time you come to the cafe, all the tables are usually taken. Tables can someone be dirty, depending on the previous person using it, and the chairs are very worn that the cushion is very flat with some obvious holes in others.

Restrooms are located towards the back to the right and are a little "meh" in terms of cleanliness and tidiness, in my opinion. Overall service is very exceptional--friendly, helpful and efficient.

just to be clear this review is aimed towards the Starbucks CAFE in the Barnes & noble, i waited in line just to be treated with a bad attitude about not being able to customize my drink the way that i wanted too..... i will definitely not be returning to this location for ANY drink, so sad that the Barnes and noble cafe could not be more friendly and open.

In today's world of mobile phones, iPads, computers and Amazon it's a miracle that businesses like this have survived. Barnes and Nobles is an awesome place that reminds me of a modern library where you can not only find or buy a book for people of any diverse group or simply spend time in a reading in a very comfortable setting sipping on your favorite Starbuck's latte.

Place is very clean and has ample comfortable setting and a Starbucks. It's got all the most recent best sellers, school text books and old classics that cover any subject you can imagine or have interest.

Surprisingly with all the competition in this type of brick and mortar business was full of people on Friday night. Highly recommend this business when looking for text books or a tHe latest hot selling authors release.
