I am a mother of six children and I like to take them to barnes and noble because they have a variety of books and that motivates them to continue being good readers, the place is very relaxing and the cashiers are very nice, thanks barnes and noble😁

We love visiting our local Barnes & Noble to explore new reads. They have good discounts at times, but aside from being an immediate access to the book you want RIGHT NOW, they can be a fair bit overpriced. If you plan to get several items from them, youll want a membership. Also - some locations host readings and signings from local and bigger named authors. Worth checking out.

I stopped by here yesterday looking for Kingdom Man and they did not have it available. However, one of the associates was able to help me locate it at another location.Everyone was very nice and the store was relatively easy to navigate.

Great location. Tons of options, friendly folks and great customer service. They’re always very honest about offerings they have, and are more than happy to help you save where possible. The store does tend to get crowded, but there is enough space in the aisles to not feel uncomfortable.

Nice. A couple gals helped me however, I drove a ways to find out they dont carry the books I was looking for in store. Call before you go. I found similar books on my own. Quiet and clean. CafΓ© inside. They passed out sample drinks. Pop up birthday cards, pretty desk items and puzzles, card games, party games and learning games are all items I saw while browsing. Definitely a place I will return to.

Taking our 4 year old to B& N is always a good experience. Love the dedicated kids book area and the staff had always been kind and helpful. Only negative, applies to all their stores, is that after Toys-R-Us closed, B&N started carrying a lot more toys than they had previously and so it requires effort to not spend time in that area during the visit.

Review β„–9

Would give higher, if it wasnt for happening twice now, an employee was rude. Would give lower but at least they had ONE book by the author I was looking for. I love books. How the feel of paper and the turn of the page in my hands as I read. With about 400+ books in my home. Many with an autograph by the authors, I treasure them. Hope my next visit is 100% pleasant. Fingers crossed.

I love barnes and noble. I looked online and saw that the item I was looking for was in stock. When I got there it was not. Make sure you call before you go because some people steal the books your looking for. The workers said Especially manga.

I like to visit B&N after work just to browse & relax from a tiring day......which, usually ends with me buying manga or YA fantasy novels, (mostly manga.) You can also purchase things online and have it delivered to the store, or ask the store to hold something for you; which can be rather convenient. Also, if youre lucky, the in-store cafe might pass out sample coffee for free, and they really taste good. All in all, I enjoy going here.

Ive been going here for 20+ years since we moved to Temecula. I often find DVDs and CDs and Records that I dont find anywhere else except online. One of the few if not only places in Temecula to buy music and they still have many CDs and movies. Ive bought many books and always enjoy my visits.

Outstanding book, magazine, & music collection that is situated in a socially distanced manner. Customer service was phenomenal and assisted me in finding a childrens version of Treasure Island perfect for my autistic young nephew. I love the Temecula store and know that any child or adult book lover will too. I highly recommend Barnes & Noble in Temecula, CA.

Review β„–45

Went in looking for a couple books for my father for Christmas. The place is great as far as selection goes and if they dont have the book youre looking for, they can bring it in for you. Due to Covid rules, there was a line to get in. Once I waited my 10 minutes or less to get in and I was inside shopping, an announcement came over the loud speaker explaining that others are waiting to enter, hurry up and find what you came for and head to the counter. That kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I wasnt messing around and I didnt see anyone else doing so either, just shopping. Management needs to understand that everything in B&N can be purchased on line and they should not rush people while theyre shopping or there may come a day where management wont have anyone to make an announcement to.

We took our grandsons to Barnes and Noble on a HOT weekend afternoon and had a great day of shopping for childrens books. Wide selection and nicely organized by childs age. The boys also got a chance to shop for their upcoming birthday gifts from the many shelves of high quality toys including many LEGO sets. We then headed over to their snack area and had some great cookies and milk. Papa enjoyed the fantastic selection of magazines and appreciated the chairs to sit on while making his selections.

A very good chain of bookstores. i come here often and buy things like Books, DVDs and POP vinyl figures. they got a good selection of stuff too. they also have a Starbucks cafe, but you gotta buy something if you wanna sit there. so that sucks. like anyone person with common sense would say that B&N is pricey, but i would buy anything here thats under $15. overall i love barnes and noble, great selection, great-ish prices, but great everything.

Came in today to return a magazine that was over a year old. None of the links that were advertised on the cover as downloadable worked, which I assume is related to the age of this booklet. Anyway, it was a Christmas gift so when I came in to return it from 3 weeks ago I was informed FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER that they have a 1 day return policy for magazines. This isnt posted anywhere! Nor did they tell me at the time of purchase.Mind you, this magazine is a not a paper cover like a normal magazine, but the semi-hard cover like any normal soft cover book. Also, as a precaution because of COVID there is a no reading policy in-store (which is understandable) so, I couldnt verify the links in the booklet. The clerk was polite when explaining the policy and informed me doing anything about it was above his ability. Ok, I thought, also understandable. However, the manager REFUSED to come out for this matter. Cool, now Im stuck with a $20 useless magazine.Ill go to Amazon from now on. Barnes and Noble, you just lost a long time customer. Ill be canceling my membership today as well.

Review β„–87

Usually one of our favorite places to shop, we typically spend at least $100 each visit and make an effort to shop at the store in person to support a business we love. During covid however, this place has gotten so uncomfortable and staff stalks and harasses their guests to the point of the store feeling unwelcoming. It very much feels that employees do not want you there. I was told that my young child was not allowed to sit anywhere and when she was gathering her books she put them on the floor for me to get for her(to buy) and immediately an employee was asking me if we were buying them or not. We were also told to not look through books because they would have to sanitize them! The store was almost empty so not sure why them having to sanitize would even be a problem as the store seemed over staffed. We bought 10 books so we were there for an hour and at the end of that hour it because clear that staff did not want us there and we had overstayed our welcome. I even saw one woman looking at us and whispering to a co-worker clearly talking about us. Next time I guess Ill order from Amazon as they obviously did not need our business. Sad.

Customer service here is horrible. A worker took my items from me to take to the counter because they acted like I was planning to steal it,. Dropped it on the floor ( they were all collectibles) and forgot to scan everything so I didnt get everything I planned to buy. I come here often but would now rather drive to the Mira Mesa location. Btw, if your going to take peoples items to hold at the counter, you should lock it up behind glass so it doesnt look like you ONLY DO IT TO MINORITIES LIKE YOU DID... have a good day.
