Barnes & Noble Cafe is located within a traditional, two-floor bookstore that many find amazing and nostalgic. The store offers a great selection of books, with special praise for the extensive kids section featuring books, plush toys, puzzles, and board games. There are always deals to be found, along with unique gifts not easily found elsewhere. Some customers miss past features like the previous coffee shop, children's story time, and soft seating for reading. The attached cafe is now a Starbucks, with food considered subpar, featuring small warmed-up sandwiches. However, the staff is noted as friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, contributing to a convenient and enjoyable visit that many wish to repeat.
Good place for any book lover to read a few pages before buying.

Disappointed it's starbucks and not the coffee shop it used to be. I loved the barnie freezers. The food was subpar. Small sandwiches warmed up. The bookstore is amazing though!

Visiting Orlando from Corpus Christi Texas, we had to make a Barnes and nobles stop. My daughter was able to independently make a transaction using her birthday gift card. The cashier was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Whenever in town, we would visit again. Convenient location.
