Barnes & Noble Booksellers

LOVE this place. I am still a die-​hard book reader — no tablets for me thank you. And no matter what you are looking for, they either have it, or can usually get it. If you are looking for Amazon prices, you aren’t going to get them here, but you aren’t paying for shipping, and you also have the luxury of browsing what you may want to buy first, sitting with potential purchases, and sipping on a Starbucks. Place is clean, organized attractively, with a great children’s area as well. They always have interesting buys in their discount section, too.

We stopped here to get some Starbucks and experienced rude service unsatisfying ride rejection. They do not except Starbucks gift cards even though they are branded as a Starbucks and it says Starbucks all over the place and all they sell there a Starbucks but they don’t actually take Starbucks currency.
For a good time call someone else

This is a great B&N! The place is huge! It has an entrance both inside and outside the mall. There’s escalators and elevators to reach the second floor. The children’s area is big and has a stage. As a parent, I like that it’s all the way up the stairs and way in the back of the store so you feel your kids won’t run out into the mall. (My kids are too old to but you get the point.) it’s not close to the escalators.
They have toys and stuffed animals, a college and school section filled with workbooks, they’ve a Doctor Who section and some of the most glorious journal books I’ve every seen. There’s birthday cards and novelty items. You can definitely get a gift here. The bathrooms are clean and on the second floor. There are a few registers and an information area. They offer home educator cards for free of you homeschool!
Best part: The Starbucks in this store is my favorite of all. Love their staff. They’ve cakes and treats from the Cheesecake Factory. You can use your B&N green card at the Starbucks and get a discount! It’s close to the food court. After buying $ 200 worth of books and my frappé in hand, I want to go right to the car and I can since there’s the outside entrance!
Worst part: I’ve been sad and frustrated as I couldn’t find parking on many occasions. After circling the lot a few times, I’d just move on and come back another day or send my teenager in for the frappes, but then I have to buy her one too!

Love this location, and they have desserts from the nearby cheese cake factory. Perf location in the book store, so I can read and sip my espresso, feeling all artsy fartsy or some shit (lol) no seriously, great service great baristas great food. And I’m picky about my baristas ;)

Right next to the food court, this B&N is not quite an anchor but still takes up a good amount of mall space and shopping. I don’t know that I’ve been to one that is attached to the mall like this, but on the inside it’s the same layout and items for sale. I always enjoy the discount shelves and today picked up a Tom Clancy I’ve never read for the low low price of $ 7.98.
The frequent buyers discount program is a good deal… if you buy at least $ 200 of B&N merchandise in a year.
They have their coffee shop in here, too!

This B&N is located right next to the spacious and well-​laid out Food Court.
The family stopped by here on the way home from NYC to do some tax-​free shopping (nuts to high tax states!) Whil;e the wife and her brother were out in the mall, my son and I parked ourselves near the Target kids play area.
Oh oh… low power on the electronics! We found B&N rather quickly without using the mall map and aha! Right inside the doors was a table in the café’ area with an electric socket… Also, right outside the door, a chik fil a! BONUS!
Ever notice how a lot of B&N have escalators but set up is reversed? This one has the side by side and normal! Whew! (I KNOW, what’s the big deal?)
Roomy, spacious, and the café’ dude asked me if I needed an extra shot of espresso… Now that’s service!
If this were closer, we’d be back… a LOT

I hadn’t been to a huge bookstore in quite a while (this is an hour from my house, and I have several local independently owned shops much closer) so it was an interesting culture shock to walk in. I bought a few books, and we sat and had drinks and stuffed pretzels in the café. The pretzels were so nasty we couldn’t eat them, but the espresso drinks were good.

It seems like Barnes & Noble is like the Wal-​mart of books stores and I don’t shop at Wal-​mart. I miss Borders Books because they catered more to the local area where the store was located. Barnes & Noble has a small local section in the back along the wall, like it was an afterthought. I like to support local mom and pop shops and with big businesses moving in, it’s just crushing them. Plus, none of the staff can do anything without their computers. Most of the books are watered down versions of the originals. And the parking around the store is ridiculous.

I am a frequent visitor here due to my nearby work location and would like to commend the café staff for their attention to detail and good humor.
Everyone seems to make the effort to connect with their customer of the moment and not treat it just as a repetitive transaction. They also make the effort to keep the café area clean and well maintained, with the magazine selection changing frequently and someone always alert to table cleanliness. Well done!

I go here a lot to get coffee and use the Internet, I enjoy the atmosphere but I am always having issues with the Internet! If the Internet was easier to connect it would be 5 star!

The services is wonderful they helped me look for certain items in the store its nice, big, and peaceful a great place to come to in the mall. The free wifi is a big plus in my book i haven eaten from the café yet but the smell coming that direction is divine.

Love their service, they have some of the best treat selection thanks to the Cheesecake Factory. But my favorite is the blonde blast, it’s amazing!

I like this Barnes and Noble location a lot. It is conveniently (though sometimes its rather unconvenient) located at the Christiana mall, so after I do some shopping I can look at the excellent selection of books, magazines and more. Often, I come to the mall specifically for the B&N.
What I love about B&N is that it carries items that are hard to find in other stores. This means that I do not have to resort to purchasing online, pay for shipping and then not be able to browse through the book first. Here, I can actually find what I am looking for and skim through to determine if I want to purchase or not. I can even order stuff that is out of stock or not available. It’s a lot better than Borders and more convenient than Amazon.
It also has free Wi-​Fi, lots of comfortable seating both downstairs and upstairs and has a Starbucks with lots of yummy things– yay!

Your typical B&N — decent selection, clean store, friendly staff, and free wifi in the café.
