I liked the selection of Rowan University merchandise especially the Rowan University Mom/Dad hoodies! The store is very well organized and clean. It is also very convenient for Rowan students to order and pick up there textbooks. Whenever we visit our son, we stop in and buy something Rowan related.

Was at Rowan University for parents weekend and bought a coffee from the Starbucks coffee shop there, went out to meet my son, then we’re going back in to browse and was told I had to throw out my coffee, pointed out it’s their own coffee, didn’t matter, still had to throw it out. Stupidly at its best

I came to the cafe today (7/18) for my morning coffee and was rudely greeted by a cafe worker after I interrupted her scrolling on her cellphone. I didn’t get a name, although she had black hair and bangs. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato, my usual, but I was given dirty looks when I was ordering, paying, and even at the end when I asked if seating was available. She said no, but I asked her when she thinks it would reopen, and she shrugged me off and looked me up and down. Normally I don’t complain about employees, but customer service makes me not want to come back to this starbucks.

Sales woman treated me horrible. She yelled across the isles for me to cover my face with my mask. My face was totally covered! The mask covered my mouth and nose. I was touching my mask.Very disrespectful! She actually yelled in front of many staff and customers!

We went here to purchase apparel to celebrate my sons decision to attend RU in the fall. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced the apparel is, with quality brands and a variety of styles. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Review №26

So they are NOT affiliated with the true Barnes and Nobles. So if you have an acct with the regular locations and dont have your card your out of luck. They honor the discounts, but only if you have the card in hand. However this place is perfect for the college kids given its on campus. Plenty of Rowan swag to purchase and school supplies galore.

Review №27

Nice place to browse and just hang out. Has a wide selection of books, mags, toys, and games. Headquarters for Rowan University clothing and merch. Staff is amazingly helpful. Very laid back vibe.Yeah, I know, you read everything on your tablet or phone. Just put them down and pick up a book. Nothing feels like a book. The weight, the sound of the pages, the delicate smell of the ink. Aah, good times, good times.Just go, youll be glad you did.

Review №31

I go to find a classic book that literally every bookstore and library in the nation should have. System says they have it but they have no idea where it is. Clerk gives me attitude because the store can’t get their inventory straight.This has happened over and over again during my time as a student at Rowan. You’re better off skipping the overpriced BS of this place and going to Amazon.

This place is a hidden gem. This is not only a full service book store, it also has a great youth lit section, childrens picture book section and upscale toys and games section. And a cafe.In addition it is a one-stop shop for all your Rowan University merch.The staff is friendly and helpful.Make a visit, youll be glad you did.

Review №36

Great bookstore. Barnes and Noble and a school bookstore all in one, so its very convenient to get Rowan gear and a book/coffee/textbooks, anything you might need. Parking is available on the street or in the parking garage down the street, but its very easy to get to. Prices are fair, but the school gear is a little high priced. Overall I highly recommend.

Review №41

Large space and plenty of seating for all your needs. Plenty of caffeine skills you need it and the wifi isnt half bad should you need to get some work done. Selection is copious and so are the tables to get some work done. Parking can be problematic on the streets as it does get pretty busy at certain times of the day. However, if you do find yourself a need to some relaxing atmosphere to study or get some work done. This will not disappoint.

Review №42

Wide selection of books, as well as Rowan university apparel and other merch. Love the feeling and open atmosphere of this establishment....fresh, lively and flowing. Theres also a Starbucks cafe, and quiet nooks on the top floor to read, work or just relax. There is a large multi-level parking garage a block away that offers free short-term parking as well, since parking on the street is hit-or-miss because this is a very busy downtown area.

Nice for students, but not for others. They do not honor B&N coupons and member cards. I was told to go to another store to use my member card and coupons because they are a college bookstore and not a regular B&N store.It is a nice store, selection limited to what students would need. Would like to see them consider nearby residents, and to honor B&N memberships.

It is great place for hang out with friends and study but not concentration. Some times the music which is played is too loudThe coffee shop inside the Barnes and nobles makes its vibe so comfortable. Although everything is expensive but sometimes it worth to buy something with the Rowan University logo on it

Review №56

Beautiful University bookstore, although prices for Rowan apparel out of reach for students, ridiculously expensive and goes against every principle of being a student/family friendly place to purchase University memorabilia. 500%+, it seems, markup to value, $35+ t-shirt, $50 sweats, $70+ hoodie??? These are students, not rich executives Barnes and Noble! Youre taking advantage being in all universities now and should be ashamed of yourself.Books and everything else, can always find a good deal, love that about B&N, only reason for 3 stars!

Great selection of books, a Starbucks of course, and plenty of Rowan University gear, and textbooks. Perfect place for college students and non college students to shop. There is a parking garage right next store that offers free 2 hour parking. Anything over 2 hours, you have to pay a parking fee.

This place is a good hangout spot. They have good food, great service and good free WiFi. However, they should try being open 24/7. By the way, they dont sell TY beanie boos.

Small kids section for books but tons of toys?!😕 Nowhere to sit and read books besides upstairs which was taken up by college kids, which is understood. I just dont suggest bringing your kids here bc they are going to want overpriced toys not books.

I went there during my Masters studies at Rowan. I used the 2nd floor to study quietly, until 3/4pm it is calm and great but after that all students come hang out there so it becomes noisy. Dont bother go there on Saturday after noon it is very noisy because it is the hangout place of this small dead town

I gave 4 stars for glassboro, only because you cant do memberships there. Its college books store also. So you have to go to the Deptford store for a membership. Other wise love love to read and shop there

There are cheap ways to get Rowan gear, but if you want to take your pick then its expensive. Textbooks frequently run out for general education courses. Store itself is beautiful, just pricey.

Review №86

After calling 3 times to see if my text book for a summer course came in, with no response I went to the B&N bookstore to see if it came in for myself. The service sucked. Nobody helped me. When I did finally get some help, the employee knew nothing more about getting my book or if it had come in anymore then I already did. I would order through Amazon. Its quicker and you actually get the book when they say so.

The Barnes & Noble is very nice, but the Starbucks is absolutely atrocious. It doesnt deserve to be part of Starbucks family: none of the speciality drinks, doesnt take Starbucks cards. Not worth the hassle unless you are a student there.

Review №96

The online book store service desk is a joke. No one wants to be there and they are not helpful what so ever. They canceled my order twice, both times no communication that they were cancelling it. When I asked why they didnt, I got a shoulder shrug and said the emails automatic and you didnt respond... So you couldnt call me? With my number on file??? Horrible customer service. Theyre only in business because college students get most of their books there because its convenient.

Clean, spacious bookstore, with a great selection, and very helpful friendly employees.The Coffee Shop within the bookstore is popular with a lot of students interacting, and set up comfortably enjoying some cafe selections while they study.They have 1) an area within the bookstore with Rowan University clothing and accessories 2) An area of discounted books 3) An area of interesting childrens toys & games(similar to the FAO Schwartz concept) 4) Other accessories 5) Every book section imaginable.This bookstore spans 2 massive levels with an escalator. A great place to come, browse, grab something from the cafe, and $upport your local bookstore with a purchase versus sending the money online.You can also park FREE at the Rowan Lot adjacent to the bookstore for up for up to 2 hours.
