This Barnes and Nobel is my favorite to visit. It always feels so clean and inviting! They have every book you could want, I especially appreciate the extensive cook book and games section. The cafe is set up perfectly so you can spend a few hours here studying or just chatting with friends!

This store should be placed on the list to visit for your reading materials..The staff was friendly and very cordial towards the customers.As so many children struggle to read, parents should visit this location which has a wide variety of books, which are suited to meet your childs needs

Beautiful and cozy. Drinking some warm or cold coffee while reading is such bliss and the ability to buy books and explore is super pleasant. I 100% recommend!

Formerly shopped at the UCF Alafaya store. This store is big and it has a better selection than my old store. The US History section and World History sections are set up incredibly strangely. Its almost like whomever set it up doesnt want you to be able to easily see both sections together as they are split by a seemingly random selection of other books and physically separated as far as possible from each other while still being in the same display section.Along with other aspects of the layout I just got a strange vibe from this store. Eerily political without any specific evidence.

Our visit was mostly in the childrens books. There seems to be a book for any kid, any age, on the well organized shelves. It was an enjoyable experience.

I am a life long fan of book stores. They are great.. just wish they had more discount sales sometimes. Like half off day or buy one get one..

Nice, clean. I dont read really on my free time, but they always have something that I have to buy as far as cool books or pop culture items. Oh yeah and toys.

A excellent B&N location. Store is a two story building with most everything you would expect from the franchise and more. With the extra space they are able to accommodate more than some, like a whole dedicated area for kids.Staff has always been friendly and helpful at this location. It is always clean and well organized. Great place for coffee, or just to lounge and relax.Overall, one of if not my favorite B&N in the Orlando area.Thanks!

It was a great experience thanks to the help of one specific team member by the name of Conor. Congratulations to the management for such example of your culture.

There are a ton of books in this store! Anything you could think of they have. We love going to Barnes and Noble. We picked up some books for our twins who will be with us in September. Everyone was nice. We stopped in the cafe to get some treats as well. (Don’t try to use a Starbucks gift card at the café, even though they serve Starbucks, they aren’t a Starbucks)

For someone who buys most of their books online these days, it feels amazing to be in an actual bookstore. This location is very well organized and I enjoy going around and reading all their book recommendation summaries. I have been here few times and it has always felt inviting and relaxing as a bookstore should be. I have also returned items and it was a breeze.

I will have to go to this location now that the Waterford Lakes one is closed. The last time I visited this location it seemed kind of run-down and outdated (come on, do they really need to sell CDs in 2021?!) and there were homeless people hiding out and sleeping in the back of the store.

I’ve been search this sunshine state book and( I’m from Jacksonville Florida)but every barns and Nobel doesn’t have it finally the website said they have it here so I asked customer service and they said they did not have it but eventually I saw it so they have poor customer service you should probably check on the website before going to the dumb customer service and my kids were really disappointed ( in tears ) for the customer service lying recommended not coming to customer service at this barns & Nobel location

Well the store is nice and clean and staff is friendly. But me and brother will be here most of the day to see the man that created the Red Rising series, Pierce Brown. We drove in from Atlanta Georgia. We are stoked to to meet him and get the books we have signed. #BreaktheChains #SummontheHowlers

Went in for a Buy Online Pick Up In Store order and then bought something extra on the way out. The staff is always friendly and prompt. The Cafe server made my drink perfectly even with my alterations. The staff is wearing masks and customers are required to wear masks inside. They have the check out lines marked for social distancing. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the store. They also offer curbside for BOPIS orders too but I wanted to check for my other item. So glad they had it! ❤

Great place to read, meet new people, and grab a quick bite to eat. My only complaint is that that it doesnt have security cameras outside the building. Mainly because there have been thieves stealing bikes on the rack in front of their store and sadly I was a victim.

This barnes and nobles is AMAZING, it has a very huge selection of books and great service. As soon as I needed help the staff would get right on the job.

This employee in the music section stared shamefully. It was me. My little sister and my boyfriend. I held books in my hand and we did go upstairs then bavk down and she kept staring. We were debating on getting a bts album and she was being rude as hell staring. We even made eye contact. Right after I grabbed the album she tried to make some joke oh decisions to make it would have been funny if she wasnt just staring at us as if we were gonna steal.Also I love this place. Always have since I was younger so this threw me off.

Review №79

Staff for some reason didn’t want me to order a new book due to the one They had in store looked used. But the customer service individual try telling it looks like that. I didn’t agree I wanted a brand new out the box with no bent pages. She then tried explaining I would have to pay shipping as a deterrent. I politely said I would like a new one ordered and ship to my home thank you and please. I was advised to go to another for payment.
