The offerings for sale aren't just basic stuff you find in Amazon like other shops.Everything was great from the staff, vibe, selections, lounge, pet cats that were so friendly! We got a milkshake and some tea as well that were both delicious!”
“I LOVE this place! Stopped in during a lunch break and the ladies were so sweet to help recommend some books for me based on what I had already read and enjoyed. They also have a great selection of puzzles and giftables.”
“They have an awesome selection of puzzles and books. I use to shop and B.A.M but since I moving to a new location there is not one near me, but there is a Barnes & Noble and I have fallen in love with it ever since. This location is always clean, neat,organized, and the staff is very helpful with any request you have. If you are in this area or passing through be sure to stop by.”
“It's a book store. Can't complain much. Though the employees truly seem like they wanna die. Had several of them nearly melt down behind the Starbucks counter. My friend asked for help finding a book and then half way through the staff member standing up to assist she found it herself. The staff member looked like she was about to explode. These people need to up their Xanax prescriptions or find a new job for their own sanity.”
“First time coming here and was not disappointed. Bought two books and a bookmark. We were even gifted a free magazine. The person who checked us out was also friendly and nice.”
“Decent selection, including some higher end products.Prices are high as any brick and mortar store like this, but you get nice people who will work with you if you have any issues with the product, who are friendly and professional, a good selection to choose from.No complaints from these good people.Worth the stop.”
