Barnes & Noble Booksellers

I love this place & I truly hope it never goes away. My kids love this place & so do I. It offers a great selection of books, magazines & a Starbucks café & much more. They sell great items that would be great gifts! Toys, gadgets, knock knacks, desk calendars, all sizes & shapes. The sections of the bookstore are set up perfectly for kids, teens & adults. If you haven’t been here you should seriously give it a try even if you don’t purchase anything. It’s so incredibly nice & inviting.

I have always enjoyed browsing the magazines while getting a beverage at Starbucks. Today I was a bit peckish and rather than making an additional trip to another place to eat I opted for the tomato mozzarella pesto sandwich! Yum! Highly recommended. If your brain can withstand the unexpected distraction, let’s say, of a father who drags his two kids to the quiet café area, and unsuccessfully tries to discipline his brats with food and threats –and YES finally chooses NOT to ignore the unwanted stares of other patrons, then enjoying a peaceful read and treat will be quite a nice experience! In other words, this is no place for kids who don’t know how to behave nor parents who try to experiment at new disciplinary measures which obviously don’t work!

During the Christmas Holiday I
made a side dish that is a new
addition that my mom and I have
been making for the past couple
of years. This was the first year
that we could share this recipe
with the whole entire family and
it turned out awesome.
THE FIRST FAMILY GATHERING
I knew if I didn’t get up and get
more the whole thing would’ve
been demolished. Thank god I
got there in time because there
wasn’t much left. My mouth
dropped when I saw how much
was eaten and I had to sneak
the last piece.
Everything I heard my family raving
about was my side dish. Everybody
was going up for seconds and thirds.
SHHHH! LOL! :-D
THE SECOND FAMILY GATHERING
Everything I heard my family raving
about was my side dish. Everyone
was going up for seconds and thirds.
This is when I knew I wanted to give
my Grandma the cook book and
recipe so she could make it herself
at home. I know she has a love
for cook books just as much as I do.
THE SPECIAL VISIT
We made a special trip out to visit my Grandparents and I gave my Grandma
the cook book that I bought from here
while bringing a home cooked meal
that they could heat up when they get hungry for later.
They both were really thankful for the
food and gifts. It was a really nice visit.

I love this place! We’re known to come get a coffee and wander around for a couple hours just for fun. The extended vinyl section is AWESOME! I also love that it’s open later. The staff at the Starbucks inside are great as well. You can always find something interesting to read for under $ 10 if you look hard enough. I wish they carried more unique or hard to find things but that’s what the Internet is for I guess. Long live the brick and mortar bookstore!

This location has been here for several years now. I frequently studied here while completing my undergrad and now my wife and I come to take our little girl to story time. They read a couple of stories followed by kids activities on Saturdays. Great place to get your kids interested in reading.

And I thought books were a thing of the past. After having dinner, I thought I’d take a stroll through Barns & Noble expecting to see half empty shelves, and a store full of clearance. I was way off! This place seems to be thriving! It reminds me of bookstores 20 years ago.
Along with a healthy selection of books, this place also hosts sections for knick-​knacks, toys, and even a music and video section. The music selection was pretty diverse, and they even carry vinyl.
They have a little coffee shop advertising Starbucks. I don’t know if it is an actual Starbucks, or if they just sell Starbucks brand coffee. I’ll go back and check it out further.
Overall, very pleasantly surprised! I spent over $ 150 on essentials, and plan to go back very soon.

I –LOVE– bookstores! It comes from the fact that I used to work in one. Now I just can’t keep away from them. B&N is one of the last Large Brick and Mortar stores and they manage to carry so many good things.
They have a large selection of gifts and gadgetry too! I especially like their bargain section and the journals that they carry. Finding a hand tooled (at least it looks that way) leather bound journal is just the perfect gift for an aspiring writer.
Today I came in to find something for my newest passion, and find it I did. Adult coloring books are all the rage, and they had them in spades. I managed to pick up three of them, along with the newest release from Laurell K. Hamilton. YAY, I’m a happy me!

Where should I begin to describe my love for Barnes & Noble. I could read endlessly about the from Milyer and helpful staff. Those in the staff were my favorite such as
Kristie and Tiana. They’ve been the regulars here who I’ve grown to know so well over the past decade plus. They have the book you’re looking for or will have it ordered and delivered as you choose. It’s the rare title that isn’t available in stores and those are mainly the independents.
My only complaint would be defense of noise when parents bringing their younger children. They let them run rampant as if home training is a new and unheard of concept. I know it’s not s library, but there are many here who are trying to read or enjoy a normal toned conversation.

Barnes & Noble is always a good place to meet with a friend, have a coffee and catch up. Every now and then I buy a book or a magazine for me, or for last minute gifts.
This location has a Starbucks inside with a decent space a maybe a dozen tables. They offer Free Wi-​Fi and there are plugs all around for your electronic devices. You don’t have to buy from the coffee shop to sit down and read a book or a magazine (I do it for business karma though).
I’ve met for casual business meetings (if you need privacy it’s not guaranteed), meeting with friends, or just for reading with intent.
There is a B&N membership that will get you discounts on your purchase and there is an annual fee for it. I always think that I don’t need it but at the end of the year I realize that between gifts, and magazines, and a couple of books it may be a good idea.
I use lots of websites for recipes and food ideas, but I enjoy coming to the bookstore and check the hard-​cover cooking books, browse through the pictures and salivate while I plan my next Frustrated-​Chef experience. I also like to browse the business and entrepreneurship section to see what’s new in my industry.
The only problem of this location is getting out during heavy traffic hours because is located on the entrance to Brandon Town Center mall and it could be a little challenging.
I’m not sure what the future holds for brick ‘n mortar bookstores but I will enjoy these places while they exist.

The only bookstore left standing. I have converted to e-​books for the most part. There are plenty of books on the shelves and, best part, they have Starbucks inside.

The store by the Brandon Town Center is clean and organized. A member of the staff looked very busy, but she was still friendly and helpful when I asked her to help me locate a book (because I didn’t realize I was looking in the completely wrong section, lol). I always enjoy looking through the Bargain sections, though sometimes they tend to get a bit disorganized. Not here! They do a great job at keeping everything orderly. The café area was pretty busy. It has Starbucks coffee and various pastries/​treats; however, you won’t be able to use a Starbucks gift card here if you have one. Café service was quick and friendly, as well. An overall enjoyable experience!
