Barnes & Noble

Even if I don’t have to buy a book, I love going to Barnes & Noble just to browse! I’m really into pop culture and nerd stuff, and they’ve done a great job of adding more items that make me giddy! They have a really nice selection of board games, Star Wars merch, and those adorable little Pop Vinyl figures. I also really like that they sell records now too. The highlight of my trip the other day was finding a calendar for $ 8. All of their calendars are half-​off right now so make sure to grab one!

Having been to many other Barnes & Noble stores over the years, I have to say, this store is the best! I’ve been going to this Waterstone location since it opened and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Since I’m there on a daily basis getting my coffee, I’ve come to know the staff by name. Everyone is helpful, friendly and makes every effort to help the customer. Every once in a while this store has a clearance sale, 50% off of several loaded down tables of merchandise, not just books, candles, soap, journals, etc. Then the sale drops to 75% off and then a few weeks later drops to 2 bucks. Get a coffee or tea, expertly made by one of the friendly café staff and wander around the store, find a reason to stop by this store, you won’t be sorry. If you stop in daily, they will see you walking in and start making ypur drink of choice. Service is fast and friendly. Like Cheers, everyone knows your name.

I LOVE Barnes and Noble. However, at this location, the employees offered help and were somewhat friendly. But as soon as it turned 9:00pm, no one was friendly. I was in a rush and having a hard time finding a specific book, so I was there until 9:00 looking for it. There were people in the Starbucks area drinking coffee and the young girl at the counter says, «hey I don’t know if you guys heard the announcement but we close at 9. So, we’re closed. So, like, yeah.», in a very snooty teenage tone. It just caught me off guard. There are polite ways to tell people. I understand you get tired and want to go home, but shouldn’t great customer service come first? The employees became completely agitated and impatient the second it turned 9:00. I was out of the door by 9:03, which is not terrible. I work at a restaurant and even though we close at 10:00, we have to greet everyone with a smile and excellent service, even if they walk in at 9:55 and want a full meal. The way the young girl at the Starbucks counter (working the night of April 2^nd, 2015) acted really threw me off. I couldn’t believe how disrespectful she was being. Treating customers with helpfulness and a smile should always come first.

We stopped in after seeing a movie Saturday night. We had excellent customer service from the barista as well as from the booksellers. After getting answers to my many questions, I decided to purchase the Nook. The help from the employees was great. This is a great store that we love to return to. I am so happy we have one in our neighborhood. I recommend visiting for gifts, coffee, book recommendations, a place to hang out, and the Nook.

PROS
The longer than expected hours of operation are amazing. Staff is very helpful. Practically a no-​wait line. Always neat and tidy with their displays, organized. Has a Starbucks attached. Amazing leather journals that are hard to find, otherwise. Large selection of everything.
CONS
Moved or eliminated some of the VERY relaxing sitting space to preview books. Clearance/​sale prices are not as low as I would expect. Bathrooms could use more attention at times, but still very nice for a public restroom.

Since Kings Volkswagen (my current dealer) is moving from Loveland to their auto mall, I’ve been visiting more stores in the area.
This Barnes & Noble seems typically average with nothing really to recommend it, other than its existence and the ability to buy books and magazines NOW.
I couldn’t find what I wanted, but I’m sure that, for most people, they’ll find it more than adequate and enjoy reading a book while drinking a coffee and having cheesecake, and then returning said book with coffee stains and cheesecake to the shelf.

I rarely write reviews but had to as a way to thank the staff here.
I love this B&N. They have lots of unique gifts, games and journals, and it’s always clean and organized. Above all, though, the staff is always incredibly helpful. I’ve had a few questions about my Nook and Nook Color, and the manager is always incredibly helpful and attentive! The woman who helped me at the service desk during my most recent visit chatted with my while the manager fixed my Nook, and she recommended all kinds of books I might like based on what was on my Nook — They’re great here and I’ll keep shopping at this location because of the manager and his staff. Thank you!

Know this location front and back because I used to manage it. Staff is exceptional and their selection is tad larger than Newport on the Levee. That being stated it is very mainstream and stocks lots of school reading material. Café I think is the best in the area and they are open to having book clubs and meetings so just ask if you need to book space for something small and fairly quiet.
Magazine section is very large and they will probably have what you need.

With the online age and invention of e-​readers who wants something else to dust. I got to tell you though, nothing in this world is better then getting a book that has thoughtfullness behind it. So it was Tom’s birthday and I was searching to get him the perfect gift. Thanks to Amazon for letting me down on my order, i strolled on down to the local book store.
The staff was very helpful and responsive. The store was very clean and well organized. Seating was nice. I got to admit i have zero complaints about this one. I did wish that they had the books i was looking for in hard back, but it was an online order and i might as well wait for Amazon to finally come through.

This is your standard B&N. I have zero complaints here. Associates are helpful, and the establishment is comfortable.
They boast the default Starbucks inside, which I love to frequent; however, if you’re a Starbucks card holder, they do not accept or honor them here.
I love doing my shop and plop here. What’s that, you ask? Well hit all the stores from Target & Best Buy to Old Navy. End with a great book buy at B&N, and you’re set. Location of this store is great so you can get shopping done!
