Bookstore are like slowly disappearing, like Blockbusters. I'm old school, I like picking up an actual book and read it. I don't do that audio book mess, or read ish on a kindle or a nook thing. Books here are $ but get me a gift card and I'll happily find something useful. Some people that work here are stuck up. And you have to yell or snap to get some service, however there are a few people here that like to actually do there job and help. There's a Starbucks here and they are friendly and it's more quiet here . I could come here and get work done.

Really was amazed how friendly and clean the Manager Malik keeps this place and serves the customers with such kindness. Thank you for all that you do! Keep up the great work

The store employees are rude and unhelpful. Also, the Starbucks is understaffed especially on a weekend and less than friendly.

Great service, great selection, and very well organized. I called Barnes and Noble looking for one of my book club books. They didn't have it in stock, but it was on order and they wrote down my information. Low and behold, not two weeks later I got a phone call and an email informing me that my book was in and they would hold it for me. Very impressive. When, I stopped in to pick up my book, I decided to shop for some books for my granddaughter. The associate in the children's section found a variety of books for me. I ended up choosing 5 of them. Checking out was a breeze and the woman who took care of me was a ray of sunshine. She was so nice. If you need a book, or just feel like browsing, this Barnes and Nobles is the best!

This store is located at the very fashionable Rio Lakefront shopping area. There is plenty of free parking in the two garages just a short distance down the street. The store has a relaxing vibe. It is spacious, bright and attractive. Upon entering the store there's delicious smells coming from the cafe tucked away in the right hand corner. I love the smell of the chocolate chip cookies and Expresso & seasonal coffee! If you're looking for a magazine there is a large section of them on the right hand side wall just past the cafe. Can't find the one you want just ask at the help desk. They can order it and hold it for you of it's out of stock. There are a lot of book displays through out the store with something for everyone. My current favorite is The Lyrics by Paul McCartney! In addition to books Barnes & Noble has a good variety games, puzzles, collectable trading cards and games and educational and preschool toys that are sure to be on your Christmas gift list. The customer service here is excellent! They are friendly and professional Have a question? Can't find a book? Just ask the staff to help you if they have not greeted and asked you first! I recently inquired about a book I am very excited about. It is the new Mel Brooks memoir! Checking out is quick and easy at big counter at the front of the store. Not a member you can join the Barnes & Noble Book Club on the spot & get a whole year of discounts (10 percent) and more for $25. Until next time be kind to each other! #barnes&Noble #riolakefront @yelpdc #books&more #cookies #relax #cafe

This particular Barnes and nobles and Starbucks doesn't seem to have any comfortable lounge seating, just some tables and chairs. Seems unusual

Not really a Starbucks (cannot use Starbucks app/card); out of whipped cream...

Good selection and very clean and tidy store with polite staff. I bought a record from them and it was defective and then got a replacement that was also defective so that dampened my opinion of them a bit. Prices are very high if you're used to used books or the library. For new books though, just fine.

Fake Starbucks you can't use your stars here.

I had a special order and Lois was extremely helpful in finding and shipping my order out without any problems. Highly recommended!
Checked Google before leaving, says the business was open till 8 and they had just updated those hours. Worked till 5, 20 minute drive. Doors were locked. I looked at the guy. The guy looked at me, and that was the end of it. Guess this is not the place for a 9-5 working man to go anymore. Amazon will have the same books on my doorstep by Wednesday.

Books are good.

I've found my least favorite Barnes and Noble store. It's centered around keeping kids happy while absent parents shop, but, damn!

Beautiful location, free parking garage, friendly staff and extensive selection! Not the largest barnes and nobles but it has everything and is very welcoming.

This is a tough review. I have turned this place into a sub-office and work out of the Starbucks seating area a few times a month. I do not like Starbucks for so many reasons, but the staff here is rather nice. The B and N itsef is good. I buy a book or 7 every almost every time I am there. They almost always have want I need, the staff is helpful and the store and bathrooms neat and clean. My issue is with the Starbucks, but since they are all one in the same B and N needs to understand you are who you partner with. The Starbucks needs to serve Decafe all day and not their American Pour. Since the two partners encourage hanging out and reading and working, they need more tables with access to an outlet for phones and laptops - there is ONE. My Starbucks bias and the lack of power stations is why I can't give this a 5 star, but I do love B and N and bookstores in general.
