This B&N has an excellent selection of literary fiction and an eclectic, satisfying selection of philosophy. I’ve found some really out-of-the-way titles here, from Gaddis to Zizek. Worth a visit!
I was sad to see other family owned bookstores leave AA to be replaced by franchise bookstores like B&N years ago but this AA B&N is always incredible to visit. Organized. Easy to find staff for assistance. Best sellers are usually 30% off. Their discount book shelves are also great. I like looking at the Michigan history and local interest books.
Well organized stock. Very welcoming atmosphere. Staff very helpful and patient.
Big store. Books were a little tricky to find, but staff was helpful.
Seems like a good store. Good staff, clean, good selection.
The Barnes & Noble in Citrus Heights, CA was a life saver during the winter when I was in my late teens. It provides an escape from reality that was really needed. Cold, wet, depressed, hurt, reading has always been my go to coping mechabism, and this company always has laid back locations. Courteous, considerate employees always willing to answer a question or even take you to the answer. Theyre selection never disappoint, and if they dont have it they will order it for you.
Love this B&N. Its 2 stories, so plenty of room for a good variety of books. They have a huge selection of movies and CDs as well. The Cafe is great, and the kids section is huge. Its all organized very well so its easy to find what youre looking for, but the staff is always more than happy to help.
Staff is always friendly and willing to help me find a specific book if I have one Im looking for. The place is always clean and organized.
Theres always someone ready to help you find books and pretty fast on getting them. I love that they keep the store clean and everything is organized and easy to walk around to check out all the different sections. Their cheesecake in the indoor café is always amazing so I highly recommend trying it out!
Excellent customer service! This is the best B&N I have ever been to. It is so clean and organized. When I walked in Ari (spelling may be off) greeted me and saw me looking at a sign about the book World of Wonders and told me how great the book is. She immediately picked up a copy and handed it to me and gave me a brief description. This is the first time I have ever purchased a book that was suggested and I do no regret the purchase. You cant go wrong at this store.
So great to be able to go to a real bookstore with my 2 year old grandson!!! We spent almost two hours in the kids section! Great fun and great memories. I use to do this with my girls every Sunday!!!
Despite the facade hiding a deceptively small interior, there were thousands of eye catching titles. Some at discount!
My daughter and her friends had to drag me out.I just kept saying were coming back next weekend
Disappointed they didnt have Separated by U of M public health professor Dr. Bill Lopez on the shelf. Fairly good customer service.
Fun to visit with the little one, hope they never close!
Always a great stop for books. Kids are reading like crazy and were trying to keep up with them. Easy location, nice clean store, and friendly staff.
Horrible integrity of management team. I applied to this barnes and noble, multiple times. Once I got a call to come in for the interview, I was excited and looking forward to being welcomed by whoever I was being interviewed by. Got to the interview, 3 minutes late, which is horrible on my part, but I’m not from the Ann Arbor area and am moving next month. I answered all of the questions as thoroughly as I could, etc. and the “manager” was so stuck on the fact that I was 3 minutes late.. he openly became rude and disrespected the integrity of my resume, I’d formally written out, and he proceeded to mention how my resume said “punctual.” And I “was not” Which I hold myself to that standard, as I am also in the military, so I took offense. He wasn’t even asking me any questions. The Starbucks manager was asking me all of the questions and he doesn’t even manage the barnes and noble store! Ha! By the end of the interview I asked about pay and whether it was competitive or how it worked. Because they only pay 9.75 an hour! The barnes and noble manager said sometimes people get raises and I could potentially get a raise if I excel but “it doesn’t look like that if I’m honest.” Right to my face! He said “he just doesn’t give raises to people around here.” “So at your annual review you’ll either get a raise or get fired, hahaha…” yeah not funny. And definitely not something you say to someone during an interview. He then said they’d give me a call by Friday the 9th of July. It’s now the 14th, and they couldn’t have even sent out an email stating whether I had gotten the job or not. I’ve been urgently looking, seeing that I’m moving and unfortunately they wasted my time. Extremely disappointed with how the interview went. So if you’re thinking of working here… don’t. 🤷🏻♀️
Love it here. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the place is clean and well kept.
If you need a recently released book its the first place I go if I want it right away, staff is always helpful and kind enough to help me find what I need
Bad vibes. confusing set up.
Always have a good selection of books both old and new, the staff are always friendly, also wheelchair-friendly.
Same as I remembered it. Clean, organized and a great selection of books to choose from. Of course starbucks being there to help satisfy your caffeine fix!
One of the few places you can still browse books.
Love this place one of the only book stores still around
Nice to see a brick-n-motar bookstore still open.
This particular location has been well maintained, is spacious, and accommodating.
Cozy in mixed smell of coffee and books.
If you havent been in a while, they have moved things around. Take your time to explore! And the staff is very helpful if you get lost! 😎
Family loves books and heres where we shop on occasion. Can be a bit pricey but thats bound to happen with a family of 6 who loves books. Will return in fact we already have lol
The last 3 times ivevisited they didnt have what I wanted. Ordering it means a 5 go 7 day wait,- why do that when amazon is way more convenient?
Great kids books section as well as toys and games. Lots of your more interesting board games and strategy games available here upstairs.
Person at the reception desk was extremely helpful. Workers were pleasant. Book displays were set up very well.
Their manga is very selective and various.
Want some fun? Grab some books here!
We had a wonderful time the staff was incredible and the selections was phenomenal
Received excellent customer service during my visit, made me feel welcomed and appreciated.
Love this book store.
There is something for everyone! I always love browsing the bargain books (usually between $5-$8). The employees are helpful. If you order a book and pick it up the process is very easy and comes in a timely fashion mainly because they usually have a steady flow of stock that comes throughout the week. You can also reserve new releases online. Pickup for reserved books are easy too. Just ask and employee.
Really nicely organized, super helpful and friendly staff and a grand selection of books! Oh and a Starbucks!
Good selection of CDs.
Each time. Go on here or called I got the books that I was looking for or they told me when they would have them in which is really great
Still the same but without indoor seating. Always a good selection of reading material. Clean with hand sanitizer stations. Seems like the toy section has grown.
Cant leave this place without buying something!
Ive been trying to get on their website to a book the last 3 days but it takes me the same place every time
This is a very good Barnes & Noble’s location. It’s very large and they have a great selection. They also have a selection of board games which I was surprised that and I do love boardgames. My wife and I typically pay board games on the weekend and we’re gonna probably buy a board game from Barnes & Noble’s pretty soon.
Good book store.
Good selection, great staff. Cant go wrong with this location.
It seems hard to get ahold of someone in charge. The bathrooms in this place are terrible. Every time I go in, all of the stall locks are broken, but in the same way (locked when you pull but opens to a push) The book selection and staff here always tend to be good but these terrible experiences of having to guard the door while going makes me not want to spend money there. This is really poor planning especially with a lack of a family or gender neutral bathroom.
Its a big store youd think theyd have what your looking might be back ordered due to covid. However not disappointed found other stuff like birthday gifts etc
Super clean, wasnt crowded. There were a lot of books on sale as well.
Its always someone waiting to help with a smile. Its a great/safe place. Customer service is 10 everyone respect each others space with friendly responses.
Great customer service.
Very helpful. Huge selection.
Great perusing!
Expensive but very nice to look around in.Expect to pay full price for every book
Enjoyed browsing books again. They ask for normal social distancing and masks to be worn. When I got there, there was no line at checkout. By the time I was ready there was quite a line. But it went fairly quickly.
Barnes and Noble had a vast selection of books from many different genres. The prices are very good and can accommodate my financial status. The people there are super helpful and helped me when I needed to find a book. I would definitely recommend going here if you want to buy any book.
The best B&N Ive ever been to. 2 stories to explore, and kind people. :)
Great selection of media and pleasant staff. The cafe is a highlight.
Great book store, very nice. Probably one of the few places I truly feel happy while at school.
I love to go browse books at Barnes & Noble. Theres just no substitute for picking up the paper in your hand, turning the pages, and reading. On this visit I was keeping my tradition of buying a childrens Christmas story every year. I found several gems and couldnt just get one...
Great book store!
Great experience! Helpful and courteous staff! Decent benefits for card-carrying members. Enormous and widely varied selection. Plus able to order anything in print that is not in the mega-store!
Helpful staff, clean, and quiet
It almost shocks me that this place still exists, until you enter the store. It has everything from the obvious book selection, to games, toys, puzzles and more. Theres a whole kids area upstairs with all the mainstream books and characters to less well known but interesting reads. I dont think this place can compete with pricing from done of the online places but its a great place to have for actual customer service. They have a coffee and bake shop, which I havent tried but thats because my kids are pulling me all over the stairs asking to buy all the books, Harry potter wands, and Pokémon stuff. Its certainly worth a stop in especially if you are looking for a new book to start our a whole collection of some classics.
Great toy section. Starbucks = useless and rude staff
Ill admit I was within the last 15 min of the store closing, but instead helping me look for something as I walked towards an associate they decided to run the other way away from me. Not very helpful.
I really loved this Barnes and Noble. The staff were helpful and efficient in helping me find the correct book I was looking for. Two levels. Very clean and organized. Book heaven
Awesome store and excellent customer service!
Comfortable place to hang out and read. And buy stuff, of course. The cafe is nice enough that I use it as a place to meet up with people sometimes. The escalators are cool, too, and make nice use of the space. It is located at a very busy intersection, so I tend to wait until lighter traffic times to go. But the selection is good, and I find it worth it to keep renewing my membership.
Great selection of books, DVDs and vinyl!!!
One of the few book stores left in our area.Nice selection of books. Calendars, paper and pens.If they do not have your book your looking for, they will gladly order it for you. Great service.
2x in less that 5 minutes, a college aged, extremely obese employee walked within a foot, last time brushed against me in an aisle of games/puzzles. When I confronted him on his lack of social DISTANCING he acted violent and aggressive...First time there, last time there. I hope they reprimand/fire that rude and aggressive individual.Be careful when you go there....
The staff is helpful and friendly. Plenty of chairs, nooks to relax and check out your choices. Cafe on site is very nice with high quality. A fun, peaceful way to spend a few hours.
Love this place! Its clean, organized and friendly. In addition to all kinds of books are all kinds of games, stationary, calendars etc. I wanted to be there for hours. Of course Starbucks is there with great pastries, deserts and all that Starbucks sells. Smells delicious as you enter B&N. Enjoy!
Great store for vinyl shopping. I go there to buy the Barnes and Noble Exclusive Editions. Customer service is great, they always have the records I want held for me. Great to know they have what I want waiting for me. PEACEWent there today and the manager Caitlin went out of her way to help me get a record shipped from another store. She made my shopping experience absolutely awesome. Just another reason to be a return shopper!!!! Just wanted to say thanks and let everyone know how great their customer service is. Thank you!! PEACE
Very large selection of books. Staff helpful.
They need to order more pop funkos
Had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season it was delicious. they do need a info guide so you know where the books are other than that very clean and friendly staff
Love books 📚💕❤
Nice place to find almost any book
Fantastic two-story location with a great cafe with bar height seating against the windows. I try to stop by here every time Im in Ann Arbor. I love that the college town vibe continues on into this Barnes. Great place to get books, fun collectibles, and great cafe for hanging out in.
Great store! Always nice and organized with polite staff
What an amazing store! It is spacious, great location and great selection of books.
One of the last standing big book stores in this area. The selection is amazing and the staff are great. Skip the music here bc its way overpriced. Go with Spotify!
Wonderful bookstore! Could easily spend lots of time and money here. Unique gifts too, plus chocolate and coffee.
I love this place! Staff is friendly and helpful. Book selection, while slowly declining over time, is excellent, and if they dont have it, theyll usually get it for you in a few days
