I love the location this Barnes & Noble has… It’s inside a shopping center. I just dislike the fact that the tables are always dirty & ppl don’t know how to clean up after themselves. Also, the Starbucks that is located inside is super slow, always long lines because they take forever making your drinks. The restrooms are not always clean & people get super loud at times like let me study sheesh. For the most part B&N has a friendly staff and there’s also an older gentlemen who greets you at the door… So don’t forget to say Thank you when he opens the door for you!

Although you get free wifi, be aware that the«Starbucks» isn’t actually a Starbucks and won’t take your Starbucks card. The café is also really crowded with only limited seating…

this is the B&N Café featuring Starbucks Coffee. they have pretty much everything you want from a Starbucks, not to mention blackberry Izze pop no longer available at most Starbucks locations around here. weeknights, it’s usually busy with the laptop crowd, but far from a hopeless situation if you’re looking for a table. and, of course, it’s always nice to slide out a book or two while you’re there. parking close can be challenging at peak times, like right after work, but the lot’s pretty big with decent turnover of Trader Joes and Pier 1 Imports shoppers. so you can hit those places on your trip, as well as my fave, REI. Happy Unilocaling and here’s to tasting life!
