I was at B&N because it’s a shortcut to a store I was heading to at the mall, but I got stalled because of their jigsaw puzzle inventory!!! O.M.G! I’m a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast, so my jaw totally dropped when I saw what B&N are selling. I literally had to control myself to not break my wallet lollll.
I decided that rather than order a particular book on Amazon, I would buy local. My wife, my 4 year old granddaughter, and I struck out for this local B&N to find a book and possibly sip a coffee. With the book and coffee in hand we sat in the coffee shop to enjoy one simple pleasure. My wife bought a candle and set it on the table because she didn’t think it safe in the bag of books. We sat and sipped enjoying our time. One small important phone call later, we are set to quickly grab our things, our sleepy granddaughter and head out. It was closing time anyway, and we needed to address the situation of the phone call. Upon arriving at home my wife realized we forgot to grab the candle. She called the store and the person on the other end told her she didn’t have time to check the table. She told my wife to check the store in the morning. I drove over at opening time and no one had seen it. No one in the coffee shop, not behind the store register, nor customer service. Makes me feel like I should have gone with my first idea. I would have saved $8 on the book, and if had bought a candle and didn’t receive it, Amazon would have replaced or refunded the cost.
Dudes. Barnes & Noble. BARNES AND FREAKING NOBLE. I was so excited to see one (they are extinct where I live). Then I walked into their bathroom, and it was like a portal to the most neglected roadside rest area you can imagine. If youre going to have public restrooms, CLEAN EM!!
Always love Barnes and Noble, however, at this location, the cashier is incredibly rude and does not have the manner associated with being in customer service. Do better.
Git some good books and coffee here highly recommend this place of your a book nerd
I love this bookstore! Its has a very large variety of books as well as other items.
Very nice Barnes & Noble location. Clean, spacious and has an in-store cafe that welcomes you with some tasty, warm scents as you enter the store. Beyond books, they actually have a huge board game section with some nice, harder to find selections, as well as some other collectible items and toys. Pretty cool “deals” section too.
Everything was clean and organized very well. The store had a lot of people in it, but their layout allows for a fair experience even when crowded. Lots of open U shaped shelving areas vs isles. Tho the isles they do have are very narrow! I was looking for budget planners and an employee was able to direct me very quickly. Overall a great experience, but some narrow isles had a few people waiting around to go through and browse. Check out was quick and easy, they kept the line moving quickly, but were also very nice to customers.
I always love Barnes & Noble stores. This one is no exception. Tons of fun to walk around and find something new.
Had 2 associates looking for the game my daughters wanted. It wasnt were the computer said it should be. Very diligent
Great place to shop, staff is friendly and helpful in assisting you find a book, product, etc that you are looking for. Nice expansion of collectibles (model kits, action figures, statues) as well as table top games.Only reason a four star is lately, they have only had one side of their registers open. They have one located near an entrance from outside and another located near the entrance going into the mall, the one located near the entrance into the mall has been closed. Probably COVID related, itll probably be opened again soon enough to make shopping more convenient.
I love books!!!!! It got 3 books with series and they had the villainous book for fairy tales. I love it here and the membership is easy to get and not to pricey.
Book stores are obsolete and are endangered but it was great to see not all have gone the way of the dinosaur, Starbucks inside was still open so we got coffee and walked around and reminist about when we were just dating before we were married and before we had a 3 year old in tow, place is neat and tidy and the best part no one ever asked if we needed help !
Great location & great stuff that this store had. I love it the atomshpere. But the book I was looking for was not there.
The very lovely experience the atmosphere was very nice and the people I talked to were very helpful I got all the books I wanted and the manga section have the books I was looking for and they were able to help me when I couldnt find the one I needed
Stopped in because my Samsung 10.1 inch tablet wouldnt charge. Pamela was great 👍She checked older chargers for one that might help. Unfortunately, my tablet is too old. James, another employee; was also helpful. I appreciate warm, professional people!
Awesome large Barnes and noble. They have a great manga section, which is mostly what I go for. Fairly up to date with new stuff and some sold out stuff can be found here as well
Very nice and clean book store. The staff seemed friendly and willing to help. The place is rather large, so you could spend hours in there finding pleanty of things to read. Not all barns and nobles are as nice, so I highly recommended this barns and noble.
Good starbucks and i was 4 pennys short and the waitress paid it out of her pocket wide selection of books of all kinds too
One of the few remaining bookstores for those who love books. Good selection.
Wonderful young lady helped me. Found a book for my grandson. He loved it. Got the follow up for him.clean well organized store.
Always a positive time and my kid and wife love to find new books to read. Staff are so helpful and its great place to grab a drink and step out of the chaos that can be Chandler Fashion.
It was great actually going into a book store and not online. I browsed O so much it was wonderful looking forward to my next outing clean well organized and lots if great deals. Spent almost $100 in a short time..
I havent seen or been in a Barnes and Noble for at least 4 years until recently.My goodness, the smell of books, magazines and coffee is a momentary escape, almost a taste of pre 9/11 America. Like eating Quiznos subs at a Pier One import.
We always enjoyed going there as my husband is handicapped and could sit and read while I looked around. No chairs or sofas so we had to leave without buying anything. Very disappointed.
Nice book store. Quiet and clean/organized. The mall is right next to it if you feel like walking and shopping after a read.
Wonderfully store had everything that we were looking for and more. Very clean, very organized! The DVD and CD section was a little abandoned looking, but in the days of steaming that is to be expected.
Cleanliness and organization was great, so many good options and prices. There is a Starbucks at the front of the store.
Always enjoy shopping at B&N. Best selection of magazines. They also have a decent selection of puzzles.
So many amazing books, my favorite book store! Excellent service and definitely going back for my book needs and whatever other treasures!
I love this place it is definitely one of my all-time favorites the variety of books and miscellaneous materials makes the place irresistible
Super nice lady at customer service desk. Was there Saturday morning. Walked me, not pointed, to all 3 books I was searching for. Very appreciative
An enjoyable experience lots of books and a quiet area to enjoy those books
Excellent place specially for kids to go and explore world of books and adventures. I love books and exploring new reads or based on your hobbies and interests is a good way to start. This place has it all. Classics, contemporary to new releases you get them all. Another aspect is you can browse the availability and shipping to you home.
I was so glad to see there was still a BN open when I found it in the Chandler Mall. It was spacious, clean and had so many great selections. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Customer service was great. Helped me find the book section I was looking for. Very peaceful here. I will be a frequent visitor now I know I can get coffee and read.
They have the FABULOUS new book by GF Miller! Glimpsed is a must read!!Im sooo excited to have my very own copy... you can get one too! 😉
A good place to go and get out of this heat. And lots more then just books.
I still love lgoing to Barnes and Noble looking through books for new finds.
Been over a yr, they thinned out a lot of the displays for covid. bathrooms are closed. would suggest ship to store for pick up to save on shipping costs.
If you love books this is a very nice place to hang out Staff is also very helpful!!
Excellent customer service. The cashier was super friendly and shared a touching moment with me. Was refreshing after isolation from the pandemic.
I havent been to a Barnes & Noble in years, so nice to visit one.
Always love Barnes and NobleStaff are knowledgeable and friendly!
Employees very helpful. I find what I want all the time
Always a great experience looking for a good read! Very relaxing environment!
Dwayne, an older gentleman, helped a friend and I with so many interesting books, very informative, helpful, polite, and nice. He made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Thank you Dwayne for your help :) !!
I forgot how cool B&N is. So much more than books and reasonable prices.
Staff was too busy chatting with each other and on their phones to be of any help. Went elsewhere for my book needs
Not too crowded good place to spend and hour reading.
Peaceful and I frequent the Starbucks inside
Nice b&n. Great game selection!!
I love this place!! The staff is so knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful!
Always love this bookstore. Place to chill and relax in the mall.
Clean place, friendly and helpful staff. If you look hard enough, you can almost always find a good deal on a fav book.
One of the few places open on Easter. Found a great graphic novel and they even had a Manga Ive been wanting to check out. Loved it!
Nice book store with a wide variety of books and isnt to expensive i have been here many times and it still is nice to go
Great location, good selection of books. Had a hard time locating someone who worked there to help me find a specific item, but besides that I had a nice experience
The lady that rung me up was great...Only issue was they were out of bags
The sales person had GREAT customer service skills
Great place and great customer service
Awesome pick of books and kids supplies
Loved this place so much. It was such a fun place to bring my kids until the other day 45-50 mins before they closed a lady working told my daughter who was looking through there different slime colors and the Lady had the audacity to tell my daughter she can look at stuff but to make sure she puts it back in the right spot then proceeded to stand next to my daughter and fix everything right after she would touch something definitely not 6 away. Ive worked in managed in retails for years and I know what its like to have to face everything and put stuff away but thats part of the job by no means do you ever tell anybody not to touch something because you dont want to put it away especially someone else is little girl.
We were asked on the floor if we needed help finding a specific book. This never happens at the Santan location. Kudos to the staff member, James, I think was his name! Friendly people all around.
Very clean very busy very courteous sales clerks or librarians haha:) I asked two folks questions about certain books and they were spot on! Lets keep this chain open!! Last of the real book stores!!?!
Dwayne(Wayne), the older gentleman was soooo helpful and gave us so many recommendations. Ive never felt so comfortable asking for help in a bookstore before. A breath of fresh air :))
I just love coming here! I love the smell of books and fresh coffee brewing. I always have to stop at the Starbucks inside the store, get a drink and relax and read one of the five books Ive bought.
Really nice place if you dont like to much sound... read books order coffee just hang around
This store is wonderful. Very clean and spacious. Great variety of inventory. Lines werent too long for check out. Friendly personnel especially during the holidays. I enjoyed my visit.
It was crowded, being part of the mall, and I didnt spend much time here because I wasnt comfortable being near all the people in a pandemic. Other than that, it is a bookstore, and clean, so I will go back when its safe!
Always something interesting you can find around a bunch of books and they got to Starbucks
I always enjoy myself while in this bookstore. So much to see. Give it s couple hours to peruse . You won’t be disappointed. Picked up my planner 2021, Calendars and I’m set.. ‼️
Tons of books, games and toys for little ones.This location is upstairs at Chandler Mall and can get super busy during weekends, holidays and the Christmas season. There is lots of parking but it will fill up fast.They carry tons of books and have probably the biggest selection of Magna you can find. Usually, if they dont have it they will ship it to you for free.This store hosts frequent events so its not a great location for quiet meandering while browsing. But, if you have small kids they do story time three times a week and usually have special events every month. We attended a Lego Frozen 2 event and a Gundam event in the last two months.There is a cafe at this Barnes & Noble with all the same food as other locations. They serve some of Starbucks drinks but dont take the app or cards.If you want a bookstore with high energy, knowledge staff and something to do, the Chandler one is a great choice.
Always a positive experience here. Staff is friendly and the selection is pretty good. A bit bare-bones, staff-wise but I suppose thats to be expected in these trying times.
Usually LOVE Barnes & Noble but the last time we were in the cashier was very rude - felt like we were BOTHERING her by checking out .....For the most part the store is always well kept and we enjoy our shopping experience - Especially the cafe after shopping.Loss of 1 star is because of the cashier with the personality of a wet dish rag ......a smile might help!
Very interesting eye catching books in the foyer of the entryway The staff was very helpful at the customer service desk Maddy helped me go to the section I needed to find my book. And Zarah was very helpful @ checkout!👍📖
One of my favorite places to hang out.
Not too many left. Enjoy while you can
Items were stocked well & organized to where you can find them. You can order online and pick up in store if need be, coffee shop smelled delicious, bathrooms were dirty & busy, place was a bit busy overall, customer service was so so they seemed off put by me purchasing 1 item but I came in to find a nice mens planner for my husband for work and was able to find him one so I am content! He absolutely loves it. He got the red one :)
We visited the Starbucks inside of this location. The service was great and the drinks ( coffee especially) were great too!
I watched 2 idiots throw around stuffed animals. But still kinda fun and would recommend. If you need books this is the place
Its very spacious and detailed. It has a Starbucks inside and nice spacing for everyone coming in and out. Its iconic and easy to spot to know how you came in and the workers were friendly!Thanks for your help Barnes and noble staff!
Excellent selection, beautiful placement, great discount area.
Always fabulous! 😊😊
Omg love all the books and staff very helpful overall good experience
Props to the staff that call out the people not wearing masks! Thank you for keeping the rest of us safe!
Extremely friendly and helpful employees
Wonderful store but the restrooms need serious work. No toilet paper and no soap
Staff was friendly. Starbucks uses your book card for discounts!
Spent many hours in here with the kids
Things have changed due to COVID restrictions, but Barnes & Noble still carry the latest in reading material for all ages. Coffee area was limited to few persons, looking forward to returning to normal
The store and starbucks are upen. There is a wide selection of books and I like the new displays.
Nice ppl good customer service
