Reviews of Barnes & Noble

Robert Ribciuc

We live next door in uptown and this Barnes & Noble has been an institution in our family and raising my daughter who from as far back as she could walk has loved to roam the store or be left alone to sit on the floor and read. A few years ago we were terrified when there was talk of the store closing, we would have missed it terribly. There is something about sitting in a clean bookstore with helpful staff and physical books that Amazon can never quite replace, and visiting this store, especially with kids as they grow up, will put this value in anyone’s soul and hopefully make all of us pitch in to help them remain viable.

Michelle Müssle

It has discounts on books of different genres, super organisation and a remarkable atmosphere. One of my favourite places to visit.

MARIA M

Love this Barnes & Noble. It has a small bookstore feel to it. The employees are always super helpful and give AWESOME book recommendations. I'm always adding more book title to my TBR list!

A bit on the small side for a Barnes and Noble. The parking is a nightmare in this strip mall. It's hard to get in and out and because so many businesses share the lot: you will likely have to wait for a spot to open up. A lot of kids biked to this location and unfortunately many people in the store did not mind having full, loud conversations with each other and on the phone while shopping.

Paul Knutson

Fun going to a book store. Clean, well organized and friendly staff.

Sheena Curry

As a bibliophile, bookstores will always get 5 stars unless their service isn't great. Barnes & Noble might be a big chain, but their staff members are always friendly and they have a wide variety of books and other gifts.

Anna Subialka

Really weird layout compared to most Barnes but nice and helpful staff!

Robert Rivers

Easily the best B&N around. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in customer service. It seems everyone who works here has unique sensibilities and tastes, and all will go out of their ways to help you find something you’ll be satisfied with. Ask for Joe in particular, he found several excellent picks for me just based off of one book recommendation

Leon

I like this store. It has a good variety but needs more islamic books.

Michael Freeman

Better than Amazon any day of the week. The only problem with this place, time disappears.

Noko Haha

Just ask one of the booksellers for a recommendation and watch them light up. I love this place!

Jeffrey Henneman

Clerk showed me to the book I was looking for without a wait. Another very friendly clerk handled my transaction.

Chase Hand

Always love coming here. Helpful staff, chill environment, great selection, and perpetual candy store for bookworms

Amina Duale

Brilliant service! Really helpful, knowledgeable staff. Kids came away with 7 books each 🤩 …

Michael Dendinger

Has kind of a weird layout, but good all around.

Maurice Strong IV

The location and neighboring business make this B&N locale a perfect cozy stop for weekend lunch and stroll around the lakes.

Julie Schmidt

Staff attentive to customers needs, finding a book. I think I'll search myself but give up,staff usually ask me.😉 Have fun stuff in the store. If they don't have product, will search other stores or order. Friendly staff. …

2 inch

One of the best places to buy books!

Sandy M

Small B&N store but great helpful staff!

Barbara McGehee

Received excellent help selecting a London travel guide.

Troy H

It is a nice location, kind of tucked away. I would call it "cozy." There seems to be a smaller than usual selection, but it's also a smaller than usual location, and the staff are of course more than happy to order what you need. I think due to the size of the venue, they do not have a cafe at this location.

Alex Diaz

Love to stop by every once in a while. Pet friendly, workers are helpful and if they don’t have what you’re looking for they’ll order it for you

Matthew H.

This is a perfect in between size Barnes & Noble. They don't have any place to hang out and read, they don't have a coffee shop, but they have a great load of books and other things. Parking is easy and usually nearby. The staff is always very helpful with finding things.

Bob Maplethorpe

Very helpful and friendly staff. They didn't have what I was looking for but they offered to try and find a store nearby or help me order them. Very happy with my visit

Christina Super

I may be biased, but this Barnes and Noble is the most fun. Ask these booksellers for recommendations and they will bend over backwards to get a good book for you! If they don’t know, they’ll ask a bookseller who does. And if that doesn’t work...well they’re pretty resourceful. They’ll tell you how to find it. No, they don’t have a music section here, yes they can order it in for you. No, they don’t sell Pokémon cards/dice/ or “collectibles” at this location but if you’re on the hunt for a rare POP! Figure, it may be hidden here!

Sharon Brust

I love the Calhoun Village location it is the closest to me but I go because I like the whole store. The size is perfect a cozy feeling sale items are arranged so you can't miss them and the staff is great I have gone there for years and the sales folks are just the best. They are friendly knowledgeable kind have pointed out savings for me and they talk to me! The staff go out of their way to accommodate the customers and even told me I can bring my dog into the store. It's a wise decision because they are about 1-2 blocks from Lake Calhoun and folks have dogs and walk them. Also it's a well to do area and the people that live there like to take their dogs everywhere I know I work at a pet clinic less than a mile away!

Amy McNamara

Purchased my 1st tarot cards! I love bookstores and reading books!! I instill this gift into my children and daycare kids!!!

nicole jackson

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at this Barnes and noble! They were amazing this morning on black Friday, so helpful and welcoming! They deserve recognition for all their hard work and dedication. Above and beyond excellent customer service!!! I would give them a million stars if I could!

Melanie Lex

Had a great experience here today! Pete was super helpful in finding the books my friend & I were looking for and recommending others based on our interests. Thank you Pete!

Ephraim Nicholson

Pretty much just like every B&N. However, while I was looking at the Barnes & Noble Classics collection they have near the front of the store, one of the employees, seeing I had my 10 year old son with me, asked if we'd be interested in children's versions of the classics. I did not know they had this. He directed us, and my son found a few new tales to dig into. I wish I'd caught the gentleman's name. Well, anyway. Super helpful and friendly store.

John Mares

Great selection of books. A constant source of entertainment for all ages and interests. Needed assistance to find the book I wanted and the clerk ( Kim ? ) got it and brought it back to the counter in seconds. Thanks

Graham Slover

This location is one of the smaller Barnes & Noble book stores I've visited, though each one holds to me a certain atmosphere similar to a library. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

Garrison Kizzier (Garry)

One of the smallest B&N stores I've visited, but very cozy. Staff was friendly without being overbearing: I wasn't constantly asked if I needed help finding something- they asked once and left me to browse.

Lala Lew

One of the last places I tried to find a guest sign in book for a memorial service! Should have been the first, had a perfect selection and was ready extremely quickly for same day pick up.

Beth Gasser

Always a reliably good way to spend time. Clean, organized, helpful. Fun books.

Milad Shaddelan

Staff are helpful and this location is open until 9pm.

Rudy Taylor

Large selection of a well balanced variety. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and there recommendations scattered around the store are perfect. Wonderful area to shop in general.

Vivian Duarte

A very good bookstore, where you can find different kinds of books, from babies to elderly, from fiction to real stories, from peace to war. You can also find some toys (a little more expensive than other specialized stores) and gifts. The attendants are very nice to help you there.

LENNY KUKURUZA

Needed a new Nook tablet. The person helping me explained the differences between the models (besides the prices) and what to expect. There was no pressure to go for the more expensive model. I was able to make my decision quickly. My experience was painless and hassle free.

greg moser

Could browser for hours in here. Always fun to find something new!

Nick Spiering

Staff were all very knowledgeable and helpful! Very nice B&N location.

christopher wagner

I really enjoy Barnes and Noble, but I don't need a million receipts, and to be asked EVERYTIME if I want to be a member and how much it would save me. That's why I like automatic check out lanes

Donovan Walker

Barnes and Nobles a classic bookstore chain. This one, nestled between Lake of the Isles and what used to be known as Lake Calhoun is an excellent example of a warm place to come and select a book or a game or even just brows greeting cards on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend stopping by even if you don't plan to buy anything. It is very relaxing not to mention one of Minneapolis premiere Bakery coffee shops is just steps away!

Evan Peterson

A good selection of newer Sci Fi/ fantasy..and most importantly for me DOG friendly. Just off the Cedar lake walking trail and just across the parking lot from Chuck and Dons. Small rant... The Internet and Google are almost complete failures at identifying dog friendly establishments...either they have outdated or incorrect info..or so few businesses identified in my area as to be useless ( I'm looking at you Bring Fido and Sidewalk Dog) or no info at all. One of the conveniences of the Internet is to quickly Google info like this without having to call ahead... For some reason Google and the Internet in general is mum on this. Businesses won't post and Google doesn't ask.

ILZE Klavins

I love this bookstore! They always have what I want, and items I didn't know I wanted, too. If I can't find something, the staff can find it for me. Or tell me right away that they dont have it. Amazing!

gabrielle halseth

One word. Love. All the staff were helpful and so kind. They have so many guided journals!! I bought three! Such cozy vibes.

Sally Marciniak

This is not my favorite Barnes & Noble. There's no Cafe and only a handful of chairs. It's also a very small store, so the selection of books is limited.

April Fleck

We always find what we need. Its fun to browse. This store, plus a stop for pastries at Rustica, located next door, makes for a great outting with the kids.

Patricia Klinger

Great customer service, B & N member, large selection of books, always go in looking for one book I always walk out with more.

Reuben L Correa

Great neat as a pin book store tucked in an inviting strip mall, ( where you don't have to strip.) Helpful staff, they have a nice selection. Inviting restaurants and useful shopping in the mall.

Cecilia Doroftei

Such a nice feeling traveling through paper pages! You must try it at least once!

Joel Fox

Smalk print on star rating hope I clicked loved it 3216 lake Street mpls Extremely helpful might be because I have disabilities or people in multiple places are topically so much better than (most multiple disability services and government-forcing their way with no reasoning getting upset if when I topically ask questions!!!!!!)

Rebecca S.

Always helpful staff. Fun place to find almost any book or book related item.

Ian Stade

Great bookstore, I'll never forget inquiring about a job there on Sept. 11, 2001.

Best Lagout and The Best Customer Experience this year. Thanks.

Robert Kenyon

I love B & N but this one simply lacks chairs. Others use their space for the customers and the Cahoun store maximizes product placement.

Karen Kimbrough

This is what I expect when shopping. There were two ladies here who were very helpful. Asking if we needed anything while always in a good mood.
