Barnes & Noble Café

I love the fact that they have a veggie wrap. Seemed like the only healthy option. It was pretty good.
I’m giving 3 star because the drink I ordered and payed for they didn’t have so I had to get something else. They said they couldnt make my smoothie or ANY other smoothie without bananas… which makes no sense. I had to choose another drink…
So I chose a Carmel apple cider. It was good as always but talk about hot. I let it cool for 5 minutes before taking a sip and it still burnt my tongue.
Overall good service

Coffee was good. There is a food selection & seating area. Staff was very friendly.
They use Starbucks products but are not affiliated so you cannot use your Starbucks membership cards here.

This place is great and I want to keep it secret so I hope not many people read this review.
I used to frequent here often as a mid-​point to study when I was a student at UW. Now I use it because it’s the few decent quiet places, where I can get all my needs met: coffee, books, homework, attractive people, AND the mall. I’m just kidding about the mall. But I’m not kidding about the convenient location. It’s next to Old Navy, Nordstrom Rack, Bed Bath and Beyond, DSW, and BEST BUY (arguable. It’s more like mildly best buy).
Down sides: few outlet plugs, do not take Starbucks cards as seemingly advertised, limited food selections, no McDonald’s ball pit. Why not!?! (JK)
Up sides: coffee, quiet, books you can snag and read from B&N, and clean.
Just don’t read those unpurchased books in the kids section. A witch worker will come by and make some snarky remark. You can respond by saying, «Get a real job.» But you could also apologize, purchase the book, give her a hug, and send her a cupcake because she could sure use one.

Barnes & Noble Café is a good bet for grabbing a cup of coffee if you’re already in the area.
They seem a bit scattered with their buying selection with coffee from Starbucks, baked goods from Cheesecake Factory, and cookies from a bakery whose name I didn’t recognize. All of the items in the case looked good though.
I enjoyed my Americano. Prices are reasonable. You get a 10% discount if you are a Barnes & Noble member, too!
