Im so sorry I dont remember all the names of the wonderful helpers at this store but I just want to say thanks to all of you!! I dont normally like coffee but the server (a very nice guy) recommended me the sweetest thing they had on their menu and I loved it! All at an affordable price too. The cashiers are amazing and very efficient, they helped me find the books I needed and checked me out very quickly and reminded me to use the perks of the BAM membership card. They have a great selection of books here and a sale every time I come. Thank you, you all are very pleasant and idk what theyre paying you but you deserve a raise!

Honestly, a beautiful store. Well laid out and easy to find everything. Staff was courteous and professional. Havent been in a Books A Million in many years. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were still in operation and that the same high standards are still in place.

Another BooksAMillion no doubt about it, however it is still a welcome haven to those who love the written word. The place is clean, always has a ton of bargain books/clearance and helpful employees. What more can you ask for?

A great bookstore – lots of selectionThis location is in the Viera Towne Center and so, with all the other shops, parking may be limited. It is a good bookstore. Besides the various books, there are also gifts for purchase in the front and magazines in the back of the store. The staff was friendly and they had several books that I wanted. Book prices, everywhere, are getting higher but this is comparable to online prices for new books. They have a good stock of books of most genres and a fair science fiction/fantasy section. A good place to go to browse, read or get gifts. Enjoy

Lovely store with kind workers and an alright café. Wait at the café can be bad but it seems the few workers have to manage that and the rest of the store at once, so this is understandable. I rarely see any clutter/misplaced items, and when I did, it was a coupon for the café! I have done online pickups, in-person shopping, and general looking-around and never have an issue :)

Super helpful staff and great deals but I find the layout not as user friendly as B&N. But definitely worth the trip up to Viera. Have never been disappointed with a staff interaction.

Beware they charge you twice!!!!! If I could give it zero stars I would. Ordered a book online through their website for in store pickup since the store (Viera) is not far from my job I would pick it up the next day. Went in today to pick up the book. The sales associate tells me that the computer is down for online pickup and I would have to purchase the book. All the while on the phone with the store manager (they weren’t busy and they must had been too busy to come out of their office.) I told the sales associate I already purchase the book online. She said “no that is just for preauthorization.”(A flat out lie.) I was weary, fearing I would be charged twice for the same book. I went ahead with the transaction (should had just left). As soon as I got home I checked my bank account and low and behold there were two transactions for Books a million for the same book. I called their customer service. Once I was connected to a representative she asked me what did I need help with. While continuing to cut me off. She told that the online order when given the card information is for preauthorization. I told her interesting If that’s the case why do I have TWO transactions on my bank account as soon as I said that she cuts me off and tells me she has taken the online transaction off. When I ask about the refund, she cuts me off again and says I will send you an email and that I should receive my refund in three days. I’m going to stick to Barnes Noble from now on. I will update this if and when I get my refund.

Always find a magazine or two here to entertain me for a few easy hours on Floridas Space Coast. Just wish I lived closer, so Id have more time to read books bought at this spotless and friendly establishment. It sure helps that the helpers are book nerds themselves. Always a kind word.

We came in to pre-order the Bo-Katan Kryze with Chase pop and after 3 months of waiting we only received the Bo-Katan pop, no Chase. When I contacted the store they stated that the wrong one must have been sent. I contacted customer service who informed me that based on the picture it could be the Bo- Katan OR the chase. I explained that we ordered through them because all descriptions said with chase and that the picture and description should match. Was informed that the rep didnt know what to -tell me other than that I got a Bo-Katan. Very sad that the description and name that you search by would not have the word OR as well. Not in a 2x2 photo. Dont think I will be shopping at books a million anymore with this type false advertising.

I came in at 10am this morning. Stood at check out for ten minutes as checkout girl walked by and looked at me 4 times before she finally acknowledged me after another customer told her I was waiting. My receipt says her name was Emmie H. Then my husband went in this afternoon and same person (Emmie H) was rude at checkout and didn’t give give the 50 percent off a book…,just took off $2.00???We will be buying our books from Target from now on.

I love this store! There is background noise, never too loud, and never too quiet. It is extremely organized. Staff is helpful. I do dislike the magazine signup at the end. I got burned the one time I did do it and wont do it again. But it is also in a perfect location. I have only had positive experiences here.

Coffee was made very weak (more the color of a strong tea) and staff was argumentative when I explained it looked more like tea. Manager came to do refund, but didn’t even bother to inquire if there was a way to rectify the situation. Poor Customer Service!

Great selection of books. I was overcharged for one of the books, and the cashier seemed put out that he had to cancel the sale and redo the purchase to give me the right price. It was only a dollar difference, but what if they overcharged more customers and none made the store correct it. I may not be back soon.

Review №36

The store is nicely kept with a Joe Mugs coffee shop thats open. The sales staff were very helpful in searching for a book, and when they found out they didnt have it, they offered to order it to the house in 5-10 days (I just ordered it from Amazon in 2 days). Upon checkout with some other books, the up-selling was obnoxious. They offer for you to donate, then to spend $25 on their club for discounts and coupons, and it just keeps going. Would be nice to check out in a store that doesnt pressure you. Not the cashiers fault, Im sure its policy.

We had two Books a Million gift cards to use and we don’t have a BAM local to us. On the gift card it states NO FEES, NO EXPIRATION.We were dismayed to find out our $40 in gift cards had dwindled to $12.31 and $1.95 respectively. They were never used gift cards, with the bar code and pin still covered.We will never give Books a Million our business again.

The one in Viera Florida is a MILLION times better than the one in VeroOnce we had one as grand but it was replaced with a tool market!Going inside Vieras BAM was like a Time Capsule for me, the sights and smells then came the friendly staff of course (just like Veros remaining little one in the Mall)I WISH we could have such a BAM as this once more but alas, now going North on 95 for an hour plus for such a grand store such as this, is well worth the drive it takes

Review №52

Im writing this review because I was disgusted by one of the clerks behavior. So I went in there one morning looking for a Bible and a book so I could take it with me on vacation. This older woman with short blonde hair kept following me around the store askingif I was doing okay. Like okay, I get that its her job but it wasnt in a friendly way, it was like she was suspicious of me and I was hiding something. I didnt find the Bible I wanted and the other options were much too expensive, then I had found The Nine Lives of Chloe King and was carrying it with mr throughout the store debating on whether I should buy it or not, well as stated I didnt buy anything so I put the book back cause I found it cheaper on Amazon. As I was walking out, that lady was giving me the death stare thr entire duration from the back of the store to the time I left. I tried to smile from behind my mask but she just kept staring and I even saw through the corner of my eye that she was watching me leave and didnt even say have a good day.. and then, I got to my car and as I was pulling away, she lady had turned around and watched me pull off and drive away. Very disturbing and I was really creeped out. Please fire her and get someone more welcoming and less creepy

Books and coffee, what could be better. Love taking my kids, but I have to emphatically manage their expectations since there are also so many toys.It might not have the selection of an online store but they are pretty well culled down to books worth having if you know where to look. There is a good selection of classics, better than any library in the area, most of which cater to retirees (which is good just not usually what I want to read) and only one library in the area truly caters to kids. Not a fan of teen-lit, but my kids still love mazes and puzzle books and anything with animals.

Review №66

My family and I always enjoy spending time at BAM. Although its entirely too easy to lose ourselves for a few hours and spend entirely too much money. I called ahead and they pulled stock for me and had it waiting for me. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable and more than willing to order anything you might want. I admit to reading a lot of digital content now but nothing will ever replace a real book. Books A Million is a great place to find your next read!

I had not been in a Books-a-Million in a really long time. This place was well paid out. There was a quaint coffee shop with plenty of seating.

The store is great, very clean and decently organized.I wish though that the new age section was over by religion, because thats what most of that is.

We shouldnt be getting rid of so many.

Great selection of books and collectible toys. However, I have a major problem with the check out. Sometimes I just want to walk into a store and buy something, but at Books-A-Million I have to get offered a membership, a magazine subscription, and a plethora of other recommended small purchases at the counter. Saying No thank you doesnt work either. The staff will ask are you sure? and will proceed to give a number of reasons why youre passing up on the deal of a lifetime. If you continue to say no, the staff take it as a personal affront and no longer have a friendly demeanor. I understand that the company might have a policy that requires their staff to ask about the membership... and they may even get bonuses for every time they get someone to sign up,, but if a a customer says no thank you, they should let it go.

Severely understaffed and mismanaged. The few people they have are nice enough. Great toy store. If you want a book they dont have they offer to order it for you and send it to your home, but you will have to pay for shipping.I was rather upset that out of the 2 people they had around at 730pm (they close at 10), only the manager could work the coffee bar (which no longer has a cold case). And since both people were working the cash wrap, after the one who isnt allowed to make anything, was available.Anyways, fun place for kids and office stuff.

Review №99

Went here last weekend to get some books with my family. We left in a matter of minutes because an older woman who worked there, walked up behind my daughter and I literally like a bat from hell. I guess because my 16 month old daughter was excited seeing the magazine section and trotted up to it, was simply horrendous based upon that old battle axes reaction. Great location and selection is why I gave two stars. But based upon that lady’s reaction, I’ll be taking the drive to Barnes and Noble instead!
