Cool building that fits well into the area. A bit small and tightly packed but still a good place to get a book if you are around.

Two story bookstore with cafe with coffee, sandwiches, sweets, a place to sit inside and outside, full magazine selection - great place to take a break.

Its become more of a college apparel store than a book store. There seems to be less and less books every time i go in these days...

As a college student at William and Mary, this is where I buy and rent most of my textbooks. The service is great and everyone that Ive interacted with has been kind. All the employees are very friendly and helpful. Not to mention the large selection of books in the store, as well as some other fun knickknacks and supplies. Its definitely a place that Im a fan of.

Book store mostly used by college students and tourists. So a ton of books on local history and lots of classical works and Barnes & Noble special publications but if you are looking for the latest best selling novel or the next book in a series you are interested in you may wish to look elsewhere. Good for browsing but if it is a certain title or author you are seeking look someplace else. Pricey.

Nice store, helpful staff. Overpriced like most college stores, but good selection. Disappointed I have never been asked about using the student discount on clothing when I have been there with my college student, though I am always asked if I am a Barnes and Noble member. I had to find out about the discount online. Trying not to mentally do the math on the amount of money we could have saved over the last few years...

Like the location, and the nice Starbucks.cafe within the building, but this store is supposedly on a different computer system than all other B&N stores, which means it will only apply your membership discount IF you have your card on you. As every store has its own card, I dont carry them all with me, especially stores like B&N which I dont shop at as frequently. Quite a pain...will only revisit this location if I happen to be in the area for another reason.

I have been coming here for years, mostly for their book selection on local, esp18th century history, or sometimes just to get coffee while walking around CW. They serve Starbucks coffee, but it is not a Starbucks location (know beforehand they cannot accept Starbucks coupons or card). They are a Barnes and Noble, so they have all kinds of books, including bargain books, and also journals, stationary, magnets, and bookmarks. They have a large variety of local merchandise as well, and of course specialty local books. Staff is pleasant. Store is always clean and extremely well organized.

We had a blast at story time. They provided little cookies and water. Also loved playing with the Legos. But the best is the escalator 😉😄

9-9 everyday. It carries books and supplies specifically for the college. This Barnes and Noble is much like all the others, but its proximity a) next to a college, and b) near the elderly Colonial District, leads to it being fairly popular and well kept. Find your textbook on their website first, then head to the store to pick it up.

This Barnes & Noble is different from all the others because it is also the bookstore for the College of William and Mary. Also, it is minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, so this bookstore has a rich treasury trove of beautiful pictorial books that document the areas history. A great find.

This is a breath of fresh air when youve been walking for about 2 hours. The store has a cafe located on the second floor. Like any Barnes and Noble but this one is centered in the tourist area within Williamsburg. Theyve got a lot of local college gear and nicnaks.

This BN offers more than a typical BN as it is also the bookstore for the College of William and Mary. You can buy souvenirs and T-shirts here. Great selections of early American history. The Starbucks has extra selections. The only upsetting thing is we were unable to use our Starbucks mobile app to pay for our coffee :(

The coffee shop is the reason this location got any stars. There is just no help when you need it or where they are supposed to be for the rest of the store. Personal conversations can take a while to die down before you get helped when you find them. This is based off about 4 trips to this location, I will be going elsewhere now.
