I'm still old fashion and prefer actual books to kindles and such. There's nothing better than the smell of paper. This location is in an older shopping center, but a very busy one. This location was pretty nice and had a good amount of options I enjoy. Service was good and I was on my way fairly quick.

I am SO thrilled that this bookstore survived Covid and the rise in e-books.
I absolutely adore bookstores, and this one is great for littles too. They have such an extensive children's book section and some quality toys/plush.
Favorite summer hangout!
Starbucks inside is a great place to check out books even before purchase!
Thank you to the staff for maintaining a well organized, clean, and welcoming place!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christina B.Avondale, AZ02Jan 21, 2024

We come to Barnes & Nobles quarterly to get books for the girls. Our older tot is starting to read. I thought we would check out another location rather than our local one to see if anything stood out to them different than our usual location. They haven't been moved by anything since last October and I didn't want to buy anything just to buy it. A change of pace did the trick with their displays and award winning kids books. Very happy. Books are like treasures to us and reading has been a part of our healthy routine. They are learning when I read to them and they don't even realize it being so caught up in the story.

My favorite B&N... the closest to my house. Every single time I come here I leave with at least one new book, either for me or for one of my kids. They have a Starbucks, a big anime section and my favorite, a good Spanish section. Si hablas Español y quieres leer tanto a autores latinoamericanos como libros populares en Español, aquí encontrarás algo para ti.

Came in to get another book for my collection. First time in a while I had a free morning to myself to just sit and people watch. To just read my book in quiet. To enjoy my Starbucks. To enjoy my Pellegrino. To not hear what was going on around me except all the new music out. I'm a huge music lover. And I mean ALL TYPES. So getting to hear all the new artist or new songs via my paid music app is just very relaxing.
It was pretty quiet for the first hour. I guess Thursday is a good day to come in early. Not too crowded.
I truly enjoyed myself and my free time. I think I will pencil this free time into my schedule like all my other thousand appointments LoLHelpful 7Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Jul 31, 2018Previous reviewI always find something new and fun to do with my children. They only have school Monday to Thursday, I know, THREE DAY WEEKENDS ARE AWESOME FOR US!!
Anyway, SO sit is always a fun time coming up with creative ideas. We each take turns figuring out what would be fun to do the following weekend or if it will take more planning then we need to plan maybe a month in advance.
Fortunately, for us, Barnes and Nobles never needs planning ahead. We have a standing date with them every other Friday morning after Target and Starbucks. We look around at the new books. We sit and read to each other and finally pick a book for home. We normally do not buy a drink there since we always grab one at the Starbucks prior to arriving.
None the less, this location is great for the entire family. Friendly staff and every time I have needed to look for a specific book, the staff has gone above and beyond to help me either find one on the shelves or send to my house or even send it back to the store for me to come back and pick it up. Great attention to detail. - Mykca M.Peoria, AZ08Mar 27, 2023
The staff at this location are fantastic!!! We like going here because of the selection and cleanliness. Additionally, the staff have always been helpful. Recently though, two of the staff members went above and beyond to help my family out and we were very grateful! Manager Michelle and cashier Ashley are awesome! Thank you! Will definitely shop this location again.

The staff was amazing! They made it so fun and they literally had answers to every question! The three managers were so funny! The women in the kid's section that was a manager literally puts up personalized recommendations in notes everywhere! Loved it !!

Love bookstores. Yes, I can order books online at a cheaper price or buy e books or even audio books but there is nothing like sitting down with an actual book in your hands and getting lost in it.
There is just something about the the smell of books mixed with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee that I find both calming and entrancing all at once. As soon as you walk in, that unique scent and feeling consumes you.
The employees here are very friendly and knowledgeable. As soon as I mention the title of a book, they know exactly where it is without even looking it up.
I always use their coupons I receive through email, it saves tons of money considering how much I spend on books. They have this yearly membership program that saves you 10% on books but you have to pay $25.00 dollars a year. I just can't justify that. I doesn't make sense to pay to get a discount.
My bookcases are getting pretty hefty and I'm running out of space for new bookcases so I'm trying to cut back on buying books and simply checking them out at the library. Still, walking through a bookstore is for me one of life's simple pleasures.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Nov 15, 2019
Nice location.
Clean, well lit and inviting.
The staff in the cafe are particularly friendly peasant.
They have quite the collection of board games.
They also have People on the big newsstand rack vs hiding it just at the front register, which is nice.
Would happily return to this location for my Barnes and Nobles fix!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
