Barnes & Noble offers a vast selection of books, magazines, and more. The cozy atmosphere encourages leisurely browsing. Their knowledgeable staff is usually helpful. However, prices can be a bit higher than online competitors. The cafe provides a nice spot to relax, but it can get crowded. Overall, it's a go-to for book lovers who enjoy the traditional bookstore experience.

This is the 2nd time I am visiting Barnes and Nobles. It's always a joy to visit this bookstore because of the cosy vibes I get from it. They have different sections of genres to choose from and also had a few books on discount this year. The staff is also friendly and will help you to find the book you are looking for. Plus they have Starbucks here too, and you can see people working or studying or just reading their novel.

Super big Barnes & Noble. Collection is extremely diverse and even has a section for children, toys, music, house objects. There lego and translated fiction were great definitely one of my favorite bookstores in the bay area. Has a cafe inside the store too if you want to read while enjoying coffee or having a snack.

My second favorite Barnes and Nobles location after the one that used to be in the Pruneyard. The Cafe in the middle of the store offers a variety of choices for both beverages and food items. The inventory in the bookstore is vast, and I found all of the staff friendly and helpful. It's the perfect spot to spend a few hours in, working, while I wait for my car to be serviced next door.

It is a very big store and the main parking for it is on the back side. You can enter or exit from either side, they have cash register on either side also. A very active Cafe area d right in the middle. The isle are very well spaced out especially in the kids area which had a small sitting space also. They have very decent sized blue ray collection also with tones of puzzle, games, CDs, magazines and typical assortments of books arranged by categories. A few spots in there to sit besides the cafe can be seen along the store.

Barnes and Noble is a sanctuary for book enthusiasts like myself. The ambiance is inviting, with shelves stocked full of diverse literature catering to every taste. The staff is knowledgeable and always ready to assist with recommendations or locating a specific title. The café is a cozy spot to relax with a coffee and dive into a new read. Plus, I recently found a great book about Tesla's studies, adding even more depth to their impressive collection. Whether you're a casual reader or a bibliophile, Barnes and Noble is a must-visit destination.

Friendly staff and well organized. Loved that they host author signings provided instructions to easily locate the spot the event would take place as well as clearly stated rules on signings.Place was HUGE with a large book selection. Had fun book shopping with my mother as we waited for the event to start. Alsoiked that they had a pretty large handicap parking, easily visible in the parking lot.

Very big book store, friendly and helpful staffs. They kindly helped me find what I was looking for. They have a large selection of puzzles and I liked their stationary collection as well. They have Moleskine notebooks, Cavallini vintage puzzles.

It has been awhile since I stepped into this bookstore. It was fun to look and get ideas for presents for Christmas. The coffeeshop in the center was tempting but I did not want to ruin dinner. It was surprising I did not buy anything this time. Fun gift selections and there was even a toy and games section.

Nothing like holding and reading an actual book. That is according to my 16 years old daughter. We stopped here to browse. My daughter ended buying several books. A great selection for any interest and love the atmosphere in this place. Long before my daughter's birth, remember coming to this store to buy books on parenting. It is great to have these book stores, I hope they are around for forever.

Great place to shop for books: there is a huge selection of all sorts of literature for kids and adults.The staff is helpful, there is a small coffee shop inside.In kids section there is a train table, but make sure to stop by at customer service to grab couple of trains for you little one to play.There is a toys section but not so many board games which I would say is a must for the book store that big.And there is a whole section with vinyl music collection!

I walked in to B&N today and it felt like I stepped back in time to 2008. I mean that in the best way possible! The fact that they’re still doing their thing is so heartening, and the experience is just as I remember it. Browse books, grab a coffee, and now, as a parent, peruse an incredible selection of toys and kids books.

This Barnes and Noble has been here since the early 1990's, in those days when we all lamented the big box stores encroaching upon the small book shops. Still, I've been coming to it for all that time. It's rare when I can't find a book or two to buy on any given visit.

I love this bookstore. It's huge, has a coffee shop in the middle and the staff are always very helpful. Love coming through on a weekend, lots of corners to sit and relax.

Great place to study. Outlets all over the place for my laptop charger, the B&N cafe sells great food, also randomly got the best PSL from here. As an avid Starbucks trip taker, it was the best out of all of the ones I've had.

In general I like Barnes & Noble, however, the puzzle purchase really changed my view. I got a 1000 puzzle from the store, spend 20+ hours finally put them together. Unfortunately I found one piece is missing. That was so disappointed. I went to store to ask for advice on situation like this. The manger told me bring the puzzle back and then refund as any other products. She was very corporate and no sympathy. I was like, it’s a PUZZLE, it’s not book or CD, you actually put effort and time on it to complete. She didn’t even say I am sorry that happened. I don’t even wanna the refund, please at least have a better attitude to make me feel better instead of telling me that I cannot refund you unless you bring the product back. I don’t know if she did puzzle before, any person who did a puzzle knows how frustrating missing one piece is.

The attendant (tall, young man wearing glasses) was extremely un-forthcoming and borderline rude. No WSJ.

My favorite bookstore in the entire Bay area! With B&N traditional layout, this store offers spacious, clean and family/student friendly environment with its diverse selection of books, magazines, audios and even toys. It is staffed by courteous, helpful staff comparable to more high end establishments. In the cyberspace era dominated by impersonal online book behemoths, it's freshing to able to browse and feel (and smell) new books instead of digitally flipping through endless listing online. The excellent in-store cafe and seatings round out a perfect ambiance for reading and remote working. Highly recommend!

Good place to get book at retail price if you wait for a good sale. Parking is fine.Update July 2022:Still a great store, go during the week if you can less busy.Update: I find it is better to order online because the books are not handled as much as in the bookstore.

Found San Jose folded city map for a friend. Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Suggest calling ahead to be sure that specific maps are available. I was impressed with their map selections.

Good selection of toys / games / puzzles (which is what I was looking for today). Can't say anything about the book selection since I just wasn't looking for them today.

This location is really large and feels particularly family friendly. There's an extra spacious kids area, YA section, manga, fantasy/sci-fi and a solid chunk dedicated to toys and games. The adult sections felt less enticing to browse through but we were there to look for kids books so it didn't matter!
