Barnes & Noble Bookstore

I love love love this location! It’s the perfect size Barnes and Noble. This location has everything, even a Starbucks location inside. Most people might not know this but if there’s a Starbucks inside a Barnes and Noble you can use your B&N members card to get a discount on your drink order! Win win! Books and coffee sounds like paradise to me!
Other things this location offers:
*DVDs/​music
*Larger children’s section with a small play area and chairs
*Games for children and adults
*Funko pop dolls
*Million of books and magazines to choose from
*Extremely friendly and helpful staff
If you are looking for anything but aren’t sure if they have it or where to find it, there’s a help desk with a staff member that will help you with all your questions. They can order any book you might want if the store location doesn’t have it in stock.
So in short, stop by and enjoy all the gems B&N has to offer!

The bathroom is a sh! thole. One stall didn’t have any toilet paper and there was trash all over the floor. If you want to people to come to the store instead of shopping on Amazon, maybe you should start with clean bathrooms.

Very poor management team and customer care at this location, we cancelled all our memberships to Barnes and Noble after 18 years of loyalty.

Went to Barnes & Noble to check out some kid’s books. There is a wide selection of books for kids and adults.
My daughter immediate goes to the back of the store to play with the train set. There was so many learning toys as well. I really enjoyed looking at all the different types of books they carry.
This location is clean and there was seating at the back and near the magazine section. There was also free wifi as soon as you walk in. I didn’t notice it until I sat down with my phone and looked at the connection to wifi.
Cool place to hang out and read some books.

I’m so so so disappointed in this location. I used to love going to Barnes and Noble. I tried to reserve a book for my father and went to go buy the book at the store on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, my reservation wasn’t completed. That being said, they did find one copy in the store. That copy, however, was reserved by another person. That reservation, however, was expiring in an hour. I waited around as long as I could before my family’s Christmas Eve dinner. I couldn’t find an alternative book in the store. I begged the employees. I asked to speak with the manager. It was clear that the person who reserved the book was not coming! The manager ran away before I said anything. I was really awestruck (REALLY!) that they would not sell it to me because they said they had to follow company policy. For the first time in my life, I wanted to buy a book on Amazon. Seriously, just to spite them, I’m going to buy a book on Amazon. FYI, the book I wanted to buy was about poop. It was a poop book.

Since Del Mar Town Center location closed.
I’m happy with this location now. Even better they have starbucks in the store. It’s clean and tidy, good book selections. sales people where helpful.

I am really fond of this location. It is well stocked with multiple categories. The access to both Starbucks as well as numerous other business’s is perfect. I’m going to return for coffee and a book.

Good selection of books, & clean inside the store. But getting towards closing time they don’t become very friendly. They want everybody gone Asap so their rushing ppl out. Not very good for business.

The best bookstore. They literally have everything you could want. I love the fact they are attached to Starbucks too. You can grab a cup of coffee and grab a book, sit back in a comfy chair they have strewn around the store and relax. The kids section is large and when my son was little he would play on the train tacks they have set up for the little ones. All the classic favorites to choose from too. Best sellers, discounted books, buy two get one free. A helpful staff. The parking lot is huge so there are no problems with parking. The store is clean and well stocked. They even have small events for kids periodically. LIke Lego building, you can sign up online and the kids have fun. Something different to do while you read a book, they are engaged… Probably my favorite location.

Nice little bookstore with some nice stuff and… Bobbleheads! Everyone loves Bobbleheads and I have a really nice Boba Fett I purchased here. So much fun! Everyone needs a Bobblehead on their dash who cares what the POHLEECE say.

This location no longer answers the phone. If you want to check inventory, you must call either Del Mar or Oceanside to speak with a rep. The reps in these stores are irritated as well because customers are now putting a burden on their personnel.
Encinitas Store… start answering your phone. No more excuses. The Holidays Are Over!

Love this book store! Definitely my go to place for a good novel when I’m in this part of Leaucadia.

I normally love B&N, but this location has very few places to sit and no place to plug-​in. The staff is not very friendly.

I like this place. You can drink your Starbucks and read a book.

Hey, it’s a Barnes and Noble bookstore!
I’m not sure what you’d expect from a big bookseller now a days. It’s almost as though they’re trying to look more and more like an Apple store as of late with their huge Nook displays everywhere.
I get it, I really do. I have a Nook. It’s the mini-​wave of the not-​so-​distant future. However, if I’m taking the time to go to a B&N, I want to look at real books. Otherwise, I’d order them directly from my own home or wherever I’m at with my Nook.
Seriously. Let me just read my paperback in peace.

I fear that someday technology will render books and magazines obsolete.
Please don’t ever take my barnes and noble away.

Great store — has a Starbucks attached which is a nice bonus! I get one every time! They have comfy chairs throughout where I have settled in to peruse a book or two.
I take my girls there to play with the trains in the children’s section. Some days, they also have reading time and a nice little stage that the kids can gather around and the «reader» can share from.
Huge sections of any topic. If you can’t find what you are looking for, they will order it for you. I even had someone call another bookstore chain for me — that’s cool!

What is not to like? It is pretty much a library but without the librarian going «shhhhh» AND there is a Starbucks adjacent to it.
This location is bigger than the other BN I have been too. For having tons of books and hundreds of people going in and out, it is clean and organized. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
If you buy into the Barnes and Noble membership you actually get a pretty good discount. I do not know what is considered cheap nowadays; but it sure isn’t books. If you are a reader or know someone who is getting a membership and going half on it might be something to look into!

BN staff is totally accommodating and nice. The interior is nice and clean and inviting given that you see every place to sit and read or chat with their pals is taken. It’s very much a library more or less.
While it is a Starbucks, the coffee shop also adds a nice human touch too. In combination with the good selection of books and the clientele willing to stay (with or without coffee) is what makes BN a great place.
