Barnes & Noble

Compared to the other Barnes and Noble in OKC, this one is pretty decent. Much bigger than the other B&N, for sure.
Other than that, it’s your standard B&N: books galore, writing tchotchkes galore, etc. I try to shop here every once in a while to show Amazon that it doesn’t control me, and there is always a good selection of the latest books.
If you are into the adult coloring fad, B&N is a great place to get your coloring books. They have practically a mountain of them! And for pretty cheap too.

A pretty good Barnes and noble store. Pretty well stocked and seemed to have a good amount of employees about.

This was my Barnes & Noble for years before I moved out west, and every time I am back visiting, I am drawn to return. My son and I have spent HOURS and HOURS at this location, and this week, we were right back at our spot. He was just a little guy when we started coming — and he shared my love of reading. We have been to Harry Potter releases here, and have just spent time sitting quietly and reading beside each other. From a kid with soda, to an adult with coffee — I have watched my son evolve here, as well as the store itself.
Totally re-​done since I was here last, I find the new Nook section a great addition. The café is unchanged, and all seats are full, as always.
I noticed that this location, like my new ones in CA have removed most of the seating, and I don’t like that at all — nomatter what the location.
The staff is friendly here, and I always love to just hang out. I grabbed some fun travel books for the kids for the long trip home, and left a little piece of my heart once again, as I left at closing with my grown up son holding the door for me.

I tend to head here if I have to study or have some type of tedious work to do and I want different scenery. The coffee is decent. Run of the mill Starbucks. The staff is ok, pretty indifferent most of the time.
My main complaint is that when you claim to be a «café» and patrons spend $ 5 on a coffee and $ 5 on a magazine or buy a book they could at least have power outlets. They’ve all been covered up. I understand some people go there to study, I’m one of them, but I typically spend $ 5-​$ 10 on coffee or food while there. They also promote free WI-​FI, which is great. But if you have free WI-​FI you should expect patrons to bring iPads, tablets or computers to get coffee and study/​work. In the age of e-​books if I was B&N I would do everything possible to get people in the café/​store and keep them there as long as possible. In this case you are only there as long as your battery lasts you.
