Ive always loved this location. Currently there are no tables or anywhere to sit upstairs though (only the cafe area has seating)

I absolutely love Barnes and Noble. They have the best magazine selection in the Burlington area. The employees are very polite.

Great selection of books and music! Also has a star bucks in the lobby, great place to find a new book and to grab a drink.

Do not have a starbuck that takes Starbucks card, better not to have registered as Starbuck. Good all the way and be a starbucks

Booking and shelves. No barns and no Nobles to be found which is unfortunate. Cant believe I went here and found none. The workers were cool though so Ill accept it.

Decent selection, relatively knowledgeable staff. There is no place to nestle in and read, which is disappointing. One of the staff members truly went above and beyond to help me find an obscure book when I could not remember the name- that was really impressive. Fifth star would be awarded if they put in a couple comfy chairs or a couch- it wouldnt be hard to sanitize and it would make peoples rainy days.

Good selection of books and toys.Giving this 2 star rating cause of my interaction with a white male staff member who was rude when I tried to take my daughter to first floor down a stairwell as the elevator was crowded and the only option the store gave us to go between floors due to escalators being under maintenance. This is a fire hazard to not allow customers to use the stairs and a nerve wracking hazard for folks who are forced into a choice to use a small elevator when we are in a transition of vaccinated and unvaccinated people being in each other’s space.The staff person chastised us for trying to use the stairwell and I almost decided to drop making a purchase cause of how rude this person was.

Great customer service! I was looking for a particular book and could not find it in the two sections it should have been in. I ask customer service and they went back upstairs for me and found it!

Great open layout of the store with loads of distancing for the Cafe and the book store. Great staff was very helpful when I couldnt locate the book I came in for. Love this place!

Review №17

They didnt have any of the books I was looking for, popular well known books. I fell when I was getting on the escalator and NO ONE came to see if I was ok. On the top floor they have no seating at all which isnt a very accessible thing. Other then all that its a beautiful bookstore and the employees I did talk to were nice.

Its heart-warming to see Barnes & Noble bookstore & cafe still thriving in businesss. A real bookstore where you can actually touch, smell, and browse books is a rare haven these days. Its a welcoming place where you can get great coffee, tea, and pastries.

Review №29

Walk in the door and youve arrived to see two huge escalators with impressive amounts of books in every inch of the store except the music and cafe! I felt like Id died and gone to heaven!A bit massive and overwhelming. Id have liked anyone at the guest services desk but no one was there. Hunted for a long time trying to find which corner the restrooms were in. Finally had to ask.Found a music CD upstairs in the book section tried to return it to guest services but no one was there so I left it. Need an in-store map or on line. Its so overwhelming it was hard for me to figure out where books were I was interested in.Ill definitely go again. This time I bought nothing.

Great store. Wonderful employees. They are very kind, and quite knowledgeable. They have always been very helpful and nice any time I have gone in there. There is a wonderful section where they sell used books, and I tend to spend a lot of time in that section. I have found some great books, and series back there.Parking can be a little difficult at times, but that would be my only complaint. Its definitely a place I would recommend, and I go back as often as I can. (Considering Im from out of town.)

When I go to Burlington, its always the first place I go. Especially for Criterions movies, they have a huge selection for these. Place has a second floor with alot of toys, comics, music, books. I wish we had this kind of store in Canada. The prices are ok. Go there during the 50% off Criterion sale you will be in heaven !!! Its just across the mall also

Always A Great Place. We Travel over 2 hours to get here. The kids love the store. Staff is always very knowledgeable. Prices are on point. Customer service is as expected. Someone is always there to answer questions or lend a helping hand. This is the kind of store and service that brings you in instead of using Amazon to get it easier. And there is a Starbucks here!

Review №68

I enjoy going to B&N. The customers and employees are very friendly. I was looking for a specific book and even though the lady told me where it was, she walked me all the way to the book I wanted. The only thing I dont like it the sale stickers they put on the books. Whether its for myself or a gift for someone else, i think the stickers are tacky/ugly. When I give a gift I always remove the price tag. With the book I got on Sunday it took me longer than it should have to remove the sticker. B&N needs better stickers that are easily removable without leaving part of the sticker. In the future I plan on having the book store staff remove the sticker FULLY before I purchase it.

Always happy to be in any Barnes & Noble but this one is especially interesting in that they have a large amount of square footage dedicated to used books. Often pickup books in this section on topics I wouldnt otherwise purchase. This is a favorite place to spend time.

Nice big bookstore, has everything. Went to a guy for help finding a book. I had the author but not the title, so he went to his database & started reading down the list of titles till he jogged my memory, then took me right to the spot. Nice café inside too. And they had the Mueller report for only ten bucks.

Was looking for a book on being able to handle my out-of-control two year old and the woman who work there was so informed she brought me right to where I needed to be and picked out three different books she thought could help me. I definitely recommend this place to everybody if you need to get any type of book whatsoever.

Review №90

Its a book store. You know its probably not going to be around in a few years and it already sort of feels like visiting a museum, but sometimes you just want to page through books and magazines for free. Maybe Im way off base here but I see it as a nostalgic trip down memory lane to a time before Jeff Bezos owned the entire retail world. It was a fun twenty minutes.

We LOVE the kids section. Everything is sorted by reading level instead of Genre, so it helps them resist the urge to pick out books that may be out of their level. We can go right to their level and find books they are interested in!

Review №98

A great spot to pick up a book. The store itself is nice and spacious with a Starbucks cafe in the corner. Great sales after the holidays. Always fun to browse and find something new. Staff is passionate about books and often have a few great recommendations up their sleeve. The music/movies selection is also great, with a nice deep vinyl/LP section; deals can be found. Membership has been worth it for us.
