  This is by far the worst maintained B&N store I have been too. They close the cafe and restrooms way too early most of the times. It is irritating for people who have spent a lot of time as B&N customers, paid members and fans. With the $40 membership coming, they should step-up store maintenance, and this would be the one to start with.

  Every time I go into this Barnes & Noble I pick up over $100 worth of books. Some for my daughter some for myself. I buy everything from manga, poem books, chapter, romance novels, magazines, picture books, and arts and crafts. This place has always been my number one. Thank you B&N for still being around.

  This branch never fails at having their books in stock (so far). I go there on Saturday and the vibes are always great. Quiet, not a lot of people, no kids screaming, tasty coffee. It doesn't get better for an introverted gurl like me! Its a further drive but its definitely worth it

  I nearly forgot physical bookstores existed, until stumbling across this gem. Their staff are super friendly and helpful, and their selection is great - but there were only two people at the checkout counter, and the line was loooooong. To be fair, it was ten days before the xmas holiday, so they were likely busier than normal - but after a ten-minute wait the line barely budged, and I had to abandon my chosen books to make my next appointment on time. :/ Found one of my selection for less, on Amazon - but still appreciated the old-timey feel of shopping in an actual bookstore. They also have a cafe inside!

  Back from Costco, it's not decided where to go around lunch/dinner time. Saw this last B&N, went in to have a look. Say last B&N, because I used to visit Barnes Noble in Walnut Creek, with that shop and other nearby shops closed, this could be the last shop I know close to me. Even my membership expired. This is a still good place for me to spend half a day in my weekend. All kinds of books, I love science, technologies, philosophy, and games. Brought a few books & a few gifts for the father's day to come.
