Theyve gone downhill. The Hot cinnamon tea I used to get there, they stopped selling it. It was a tea that actually tastes like it smells. The best tea ever. They couldnt tell me who sells it & Im ready to buy a case....really upsetting

Located and centered around Catholic University this book store has a extremely great atmosphere for college students and young adults. It is also an amazing place for professional adults as well. The food they serve here is fresh and the coffee is five stars. I really like that this is a office away from your office style of bookstore. It doesnt have a great book selection at all, but a great hung out spot.

It is a bookstore. I mean it is Barnes and Noble. Service is good. They also have a starbucks like cafe but they will not take star bucks gift cards. It is a nice little store though.

I stop in from time to time for breakfast or a quick snack. Always great service, good coffee, pastries and quiche. Much less crowded than the new Starbucks across the street. Its a good place for a meeting, or to relax over a hit or cold beverage.

Small. Its a college bookstore, not your standard Barnes and Noble. Upgraded to a fourth star based on that. Service is fairly good. The staff seems to be knowledgeable.

This review is only in relation to their availability of children’s books. Very limited selection. Even bestsellers like Captain Underpants and other popular juvenile fiction is frequently unavailable. I don’t want to order from amazon or go to an inconvenient Virginia location every time I need a book.

Good selection of Catholic University clothing and items. Good selection of school supplies. Book section is adequate. I like that there are chairs where you can sit and read.This is a much better bookstore than when I was a student at CUA!

Okay, this place is great if you are there for coffee and sandwiches, to study, to hang out, to get basic college supplies or get gear with the Catholic University logo on it. The location is also great. However, its book selection is paltry compared to standard Barnes and Nobles. Most of the space is dedicated to the college shop and the coffee shop. Do not expect a full-blown or even medium-blown B&N here.

This is not a real Barnes and Noble. They do not honor Barnes & Noble coupons. Do not waste your time coming here if you are trying to use a Barnes & Noble in store coupon. They told me flat out they arent actually owned by Barnes & Noble. False advertising. Bait and switch.

I just spent 25 min. in the store trying to purchase a gift card. None of the gift cards in the store worked, besides the the Visa card that you have to pay an activation fee for. I called before walking over to the store and the youg man that I spoke with said that they have a variety of gifts card in house, but fail to mention that the gifts cards have not been able to be activated in 2 days. And none of the store mangers did anything about it. I dont think I will be return to this location!

I am here for coffee and studying. Glad that its in the neighborhood. I feel like the book selection is just there to call it a bookstore. Its more for textbooks and to get your caffeine high.

The wifi is great here and its a Verizon hotspot area too. They dont badger the visitors to leave or buy things. There is a snack area where you can get some quick grub. Its very college student and study friendly. There are tables where you can have a group conversation or study group too.

OK selection of books with a lot of toys, gifts, and CUA swag. The cafe is blah and the bathroom was dirty and the light was broken. Still, its a store where they sell books, so Im inclined to be forgiving.

Review №61

Pretty good general selection of books, considering that its a college campus bookstore rather than a full-fledged B&N. Small but nice childrens section with tables for reading, both adult and kid-height. Huge section of non-book Catholic University gear like logo sweatshirts, mugs, binders, etc.

Review №62

If youre looking for a coffee shop WITH wifi, Barnes and Noble is one of three options in the Brookland area (The other two are Busboys and Poets and Serendipity; nearby Filter is cool, but theres no wifi). Unlike a commercial Barnes and Noble, this location has a section catering to students (with Catholic University goods, items for our dorm room, etc) and then a small section of books. You can find all your major book and magazine needs, but note its small and theres no travel section (boo!). The cafe itself has strong wifi, lunch service, tons of snacks, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (The wifi connection is even strong outside).
