Barnes & Noble

Went here today to get some coffee and read a magazine, but the coffee line took way too long, that was a bit annoying. It was a nice break in the day. I caught up on the latest news in Time and skimmed through Sports Illustrated. Then I went over to the music department and listened to some new tunes. Didn’t buy anything today though. I do have a notion to come back and get the latest Jason Aldeen recording.

Having a wonderful chocolate chunk cookie with a mocha and picking up a good book for the weekend. I love Barnes and Noble. There’s nothing like strolling through the isles and isles of books. The staff are also very helpful in helping you make a selection. I’m a Barnes and Noble member so I get perks too.

Poor experience. I’ve definitely experienced better customer service. The manager, Jennifer, was rude and unhelpful. When I explained to her my question, her response was «what do you want me to do?» which is never ever a way to answer a customer who is kindly asking a real question. I was not rude to her and nothing warranted her rudeness.

My favorite book store in Rochester. You can waste a ton of time in here. They always have the most recent titles and there’s a Starbucks in the store too.

Huge selection. Very friendly staff. Located off of the food court. This store is always very busy. I have also visited the BN in Woodbury, MN. Even though that store is considerably smaller the staff is very friendly also.

This store is full of friendly helpful staff. The gal at the service desk tonight took time to personally show me where the book I was looking for was and without me asking also showed me where to find other books in the same series and made sure I didn’t have any other questions or need any other help.
I’ve never had a hard time finding fun books to give as gifts, the boyfriend really likes their magazine selection, and my son loves that the kids section has much more than just books.
Its easy to spend a chunk of time browsing this store — even without purchasing anything.

I love books and browsing for books, Barnes and noble is great for that. I like both stores in Rochester, the one downtown is really cool because it used to be a theater. This one is nice because its in the mall so you can shop for clothes then take a break and get a Starbucks and pick up a book or magazine.

As far as B&N go, this one is alright. It’s definitely big, which I appreciate, but I found prices that were 20% less on the same book at Target.
Their selection of clearance items on this particular visit was very vast. I didn’t find anything I needed, but it was good to see.
My mom found a really good book in the spanish section that she couldn’t live without, but that was our only purchase of the day. And if you knew me and bookstores, you would know this is rare!

Good place to grab a book.

I love cool and interesting places. If you love to read or like to buy books, this Barnes and Noble is a really cool place to be. I believe this used to be an old theatre and they turned it into Barnes and Noble and when you walk in, the inside is huge… probably one of the biggest barnes and nobles I’ve ever seen. The interior is pretty awesome with old vintage light fixtures, as well, as the top level looks like a great place to find a cozy corner to read. I want to say the ceiling and walls were decorated in a whimsical night sky of some sorts and it was really neat to see. It would probably be nice to take your kids there to find a book or something, I think they would love it! Fun place to be and I feel like you could spend hours there just reading.

As B & N’s go, this one’s pretty good.
It’s located right off the food court in the Mall and also has an outside entrance.
The place has a large selection of books and magazines, as well as CDs and DVDs. They’ve also got a coffee shop and some comfy chairs to read in.
This location is pretty well kept up and the people are good.
My main complaint (with all B & N’s) is the prices. They sell DVDs for $ 25 or $ 30 and books are all at MSRP. Infact, the only reason I actually go to this store is to look at a book I might want to buy (then buy it on Amazon) or to use up the gift card I got for some occasion. M
There used to be a place in town called Walden Books (right next to Krispy Kreme). This place had some AWESOME deals on books. Too bad they went under.
