Reviews of Barnes & Noble
Tony DiMaiolo
Great atmosphere menu selections and service! Enjoyed the fish and chips and spouse had an awesome size salad and we both had a few adult beverages to go with our meals!
Mike M
In a very nice area, nice, clean and fun place to just hang out and look at books. Came here with my wife. She got a book and sat by the window to read. Was an overcast day so it was quite a nice vibe to just read and chill while watching the Bradley fair district. They have a Starbucks area with some unique pastries that I’ve never seen at other chains! The staff is kind and friendly. They were quick to help when I asked a question.
Alice Beasley
Love this store. Great prices, loved looking around at all the books, puzzles and toys. Got a Christmas wish list for my entire family. Clean, easy to walk through, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Employees are very kind and helpful in finding what you're looking for.
stephanie denniston
I love Barnes and Noble. Actually went to relax a bit before more shopping. I also needed a phone charge. I went and had a wonderful latte at the B&N Starbucks, charged my phone a bit, visited with my friend, very nice. Browsed the store a bit and came upon all these great calendars and datebooks marked down to $2 each. It was only first part of February. Wal-Marts calendars were still $9.98 I noticed that evening. Nice place to shop, relax and recharge myself and my phone.
Chris Peterson
I love this bookstore, I have been coming here for years and just like the atmosphere. There is a starbucks like coffeeshop in the back of the store. In addition to books they have movies , music, board games, art supplies, comic books. Good place to spend a chill afternoon
Mel McClure
Always clean and smelling amazing. If you get mocha cookie crumble crunch fraps, they don't make them here in this BN's Starbucks. Get a Java chip frap instead. Just as delicious!
RyanIsHereNow
Barnes and Noble is an amazing place if you ever need a book to read, they are also very friendly and have a built in Starbucks if you ever get hungry or thirsty while inside, I love this Barnes and Noble, can't wait to visit you again.
LaFlace A
Love my buys! Worth it to be a member of Barnes and Noble! Gotta love the joy of a hard back book! Service was great!! Until next time.
Kevroc
This is the best book and music store in Wichita. Music is a little more expensive than Best Buy but they have ten times the selection.... Best Buy no longer has C d's at all and Barnes & Noble is phasing them out. Still my favorite music store in Wichita.
Update: They now have the 2nd largest collection of new vinyl in Wichita.. Compact disks no longer exist. Still one of my favorite music and movie stores.
Diane Schawe
Customer service employees are extremely helpful, even take you to the book you are seeking. Love having a store where I can shop for books, records, games, etc. rather than ordering online! Great variety and selection, even magazines!!
Beverly Gladstone
I miss my brick and mortar book stores! I just wish you still organized the books like you used to.
LaMar Bender
I enjoy browsing in this store. They have a big selection of various types of books and magazines. They also have records and CDs but not as many as they used to have. Not sure what the reason is for reducing the size of their music section.
Joseph “JC” Cunningham
I could spend hours there. It feels as if you're getting ready to go to Hogwarts, and picking out your books! I love it!
James Kratky
What an absolutely gorgeous store! Great layout and selection as well. Staff were definitely kind and knowledge!
Evan
Great bookstore, I honestly love visiting these. I use a lot of eBooks, but still love coming into the store itself, and reading through books and browsing through the deals. Their e-readers are great! But nothing can beat a bookshelf full of books!
Misty Loyd
Great atmosphere lots of variety of books super sweet staff
Raquel Mikos
Not just for books! Has an amazing selection of gifts, toys, and "things". Was very impressed when going there today.
Mallory Haskin
Busy, but pretty good experience. I definitely loved the Starbucks in the back. Made the whole store smell amazing.
Kimberly Schmidt-Blowers
Very friendly staff and a great selection of books and other things to choose from. I would rather get these books in person than online.
Jay Asher
Love this place. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Great place to come to hang out and study with friends.
Kansas Killjoy
My sister didn't think bookstores still existed so I had to send her a picture to prove it. My daughter wanted several hundred dollars worth of books, but I made her choose three. She'll never forgive me, but there are SO MANY books here we had to leave before we bought all of them...
Megan Nold
Barnes and Noble is always a sensory exploration. I love browsing the books and products available. The stores prices are high. You can usually find the same books and products at a lower price on line. However, ordering on line isn't as fun as the in-store experience. And, ebooks are great. But, there's something about holding a physical book that will always beat reading on a Kindle or tablet. In my humble opinion.
Megan Bailey
It's a nice looking store but everything is overpriced and you can buy the same thing brand new on Amazon or some other local book stores
Amanda S
Great selection of books and the staff was very friendly. I did knock off one star because the books there are quite expensive, more than I'm willing to pay most of the time. That isn't this locations fault but I wanted to note that. Overall, very nice experience.
steven palmer
The workers are very friendly they knew exactly where all their books were and the atmosphere was awesome
Alison Hoffman
Pretty much the only place I get my books. Only reason I gave B&N 4/5 is because the took out the kiosks with the latest remodel. I sometimes have a list of books I want to find and to bother an employee for that much is ridiculous.
Irving Aguirre
We love to take our daughter to choose books to buy her and read to her. Staff is friendly and sure it gets busy now and then but usually it's pretty comfortable.
KeeKee Taylor
Haven't been there in a long time. Took my grandkids it was a good time.
Daisy Joan
Some staff are clueless about books, and others are knowledgeable. They no longer have intermittent seating, which I miss.
funfreakingtastic
Very helpful and friendly staff, but did experience some trouble getting attention from some. They were quickly helping some right when they came in through the door whereas I who was in the store for well over 30 mins didn't get asked if i needed help.
Hard not to bring up the fact that I was the only brown person in there at the time, I'll try not to read too much into that. As when i did ask for help the lady was very attentive and informative. This location is still my favorite when i visit Wichita.
Mwari Mks
Inviting reading atmosphere for all ages. Nearby coffee shop seats fill up towards the end of the day.
Summer reading challenge for kids in 2022 runs from 1st July to August 31st 2022.
Be sure to get ask for a copy of your Cafe receipt if you need it for bookkeeping as they tend to dispose the receipts immediately after purchase.
danielle somers
Barnes and Nobel is always such a fun store to go into. They have lots of options and have an overwhelmingly comforting atmosphere! Love it here and try to go as much as we can. They have every book I’ve ever needed and more! Staff are friendly, and the Starbucks is a plus! My only complaint is that I wish we had more throughout Wichita!
ami jewell
Very clean .... Lots to choose from and they can order books for you if they don't have them.... Clean restrooms
JIM
I'm handicapped so one of your employees was willing to help me with finding, three times, just what I wanted. I'll be back again because of the help I had today.
Donald Duart
Barnes and Noble is your one stop pitstop for your love of reading, writing, and etc...!! They have a great supply of books, puzzles, and other fun things! I was surprised to see that their prices were lower than the online prices of what we were looking for! Very nice! The checkout employee was great and cheerful! Such a great experience!! Thank you!!
Amy C
They rearranged the shelves and I honestly was turned around for a second. I think it's one of the mouse maze experiments, but on a human scale. Once I found my way out, I appreciated the help the staff gave in loolcating several books. I like to browse here, but to go in and actually find a certain book, I most often have to ask.
Caitlyn I (Roytbt)
I love being able to walk in and find a completely different world every time. Books are amazing. Not only that, but they have wonderful small gifts and things to help the experience. Like coffee... the staff is always nice and helpful.
Shanda Glenn
Good place to find books, huge building, definitely worth a stop by
Micah Ragan
I love Barnes and Noble. The staff are helpful and friendly.
Joseph Stiles
Has lots of great things as well as plenty of books. Great place to spend time and drink coffee.
Taiya Langinlur
Such a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I visited during the hot summer months and the inside was nice and air conditioned. Towards the back area, there was a quiet space for reading with large windows that let in the natural light. There was a cafe inside as well and I got an iced coffee to sip as I browsed the bookstore. There was a wide variety of books to choose from, books of different subjects were easy to locate and there were many beautiful journals that caught my eye. When I have the money for them, I'll definitely be returning. Maybe the most alluring of all was the shelves of Harry Potter related books and merchandise. A lovely experience that I will be repeating.
Vinnie Reed
There were lots of cookbooks but it was too hard for me to find what I was looking for. I ended up leaving without buying anything.
Pheasant Weber
I like to avoid huge companies but I love me some B & N. I love buying new books to support the authors. I wish they offered a better discount online rather than free shipping with membership. I wish I got more coupons and the birthday gift is only $5. Nice people, inviting atmosphere and I enjoy the buy 1 get one 1/2 off fiction sales.
kat crow
Great selection. Coffee shop inside aswell with some baked goods. Helpful staff and nice atmosphere. They also have a great selection of vinyls to buy
Colleen Shirley
I love reading and coffee and this place has the best of both!! AND they encourage you to sit and read and enjoy the coffee with no pressure to buy! There's more to discover than just books too.
Karsen McCarter
I love this place. Could walk around here for hours. I wish it were as big as some of the ones in the KC area, but I'm still impressed with the selection. Haven't had much interaction with the staff but they all seem fairly helpful.
Connie Schmidt
I just walked around the whole store, enjoying looking at all the many different books that they carry. I plan on going back to purchase soon!
Jeremy Jones
It was a book store, or at least what is currently called a book store. It was clean and well organized, the selection was there but a little lacking. But I am someone that was used to hitting Walden Books in the mall and wasting a few hours looking through the books.
NTSTW's Shenanigans
I got a stunning refillable leather journal. I kinda wish they had more fountain pens for journalling when i went. They had 2 kinds cartography and drawing fountain pens.
These felt pens will work for now and they are rather stylish and have a good tip!
If only i had more money to spend on books, I want so many things! Your employees were so helpful, and not just one or two employees. Practically everyone knew their stuff and did well at their job! I will be returning, no doubt about that!
Merideth Ochoa
It's so nice that there is still a store like this out there for book lovers!!! ❤️
Randy Becker
I made the time to get to one of my favorite stores. I guess I'm nerdy, but I just love bookstores! B&N is an example of a well organized & clean store. It has a staff of very knowledgeable employees, who are pleasant & helpful to those who seek assistance.
The store itself is laid out in such a manner that a customer can easily navigate to the location of pertinent literature they came for.
The Cafe is always a must for any bookstore. I love to get a soda or coffee & just listen to others talking of their purchases, or of trending news.
Thanks B&N for providing such a store, that I can enjoy such experiences!
Rianna Noordhoek
I have always loved reading but without a doubt Barnes and noble is my home away from home. I love this location a lot.
Mary Halsig
It just feels good to be there. The staff is always there to help but you are left mostly to your own devices. The smell of books and coffee jus makes me happy. They are constantly updating the look but it never loses the feel of a bookstore.
Jan Yartz
Checkout people very good natured even though it got reallybusy
Betty Regier
Great selection of books. The book sellers are much more friendly & helpful than those that take calls thru the 800 number.
Retire To Mexico
It's so great to still be able to go to a bookstore and thumb through a book before you buy it. And really liked and applaud them on their Maps selection both for the United States and International.
Eric Johnston
Very friendly, professional, clean and organized. My fiance and myself have stopped here many times and are always treated wonderfully
Janelle Cook-Major
If yoyr looking for expensive books, then u have come to the right place.. they do however have alot of dif variety so that's cool..the only thing that sux is everything I always get is Luke at least 15.00 apiece and that adds up very quickly..
Devon Hall
B&N what can I say has a large selection of everything including: Manga, DnD and other TTRPG books. As well as an amazing kids section and helpful staff.
One thing though, can we get one on the westside please!?
Tasha Goldsmith
Nice place to browse books to read I prefer romance novels but I also like paranormal stuff to read as well...I like Chakra and oracles and different spiritual beliefs stories about Greek gods and all I enjoy horror stories too..I know wide vast selection but healing stones power of positive thinking self help and anything about keeping narcissistic men away... I like angel tarot as well... I like increasing knowledge of unknown although I have my own beliefs... as I have had many experiences I can not really explain myself. I hate history cuz it always repeats itself some idiot thinks he's God always starts a war. Never learns so I like peace but seldom get it... clean place nice get away. Have never ate or drank there either as not a coffee drinker. But a nice atmosphere place where you are seldom bothered. I love adult coloring books and journals too nice selection of journals. Could use more coloring books.
Stephanie Colley
Books can never be replaced, and Barnes and Noble is always such a great place to find what you are looking for and MORE!
Carma Sholander
One of the best things in this town. Nothing like walking in to be surrounded by a beautiful array of books... and they have the coolest gifts for all occasions!
Aimee Adams
I LOVE this store! I love books and can get consumed in this store for hours. Sometimes it can be hard to find assistance, you have to walk all the way up front or go look for someone (maybe there's a secret I don't know, lol). I did hear bells going off, like someone was calling an assistant for help, but I couldn't find anything indicating this. Then again, I couldn't get my eyes of all those beautiful books!
Linh Ho
The place has such a nice vibe to it, all the workers are nice. Especially this one female worker at the Starbucks section. I never caught her name, but she had short black hair and a rainbow collar. She was really nice, and helped accommodate my drink when the store ran out of the stuff I wanted.
Just a small thing, but she really made my day and workers like her really have me enjoying barns and nobles!
Trevor Hudson
Been in a couple times to look through books with my 1 year old but this time the older gentlemen restocking the shelves was so rude and unfriendly. Talking under his breath about how certain books shouldn't be positioned that way and just talking smack. We were sitting there reading a book to our son and he was slamming books back on the shelf right in front of us. We are in the baby section dude chill out you have been open for 30 minutes... Not someone who normally reviews places but come on man restocking shelves is literally your job...
Merry Matthews
I was told they carry specialty playing cards for Canasta. However, they did not have any on stock. Many stores are low on a lot of products since the pandemic began. We made due with poker cards. Just as good. :)
Fearless Garage
Love the home made food and fresh orange juice is the bestest.
BigPoppaJNutZ
Clean and well stocked with friendly and helpful staff.
Easy access off Rock Road and plenty of parking.
The Keatster
There's something about Barnes and Nobles that I legitimately cannot find any faults in.
There is so much here. So many amazing books and such a good atmosphere.
I haven't bought anything here since I was 10 but I've been here every month for the last 7 months. My girlfriend and I just roam around looking at things.
I also want to mention that the Lego aisle is actually more affordable here than places like Target or Walmart. I've looked.
All in all, an amazing place.
Jeremy Moore
Good selection, prices are a bit high.
Eric Jester
Wonderful help when looking for books! Worried that one day, they will be obsolete though, which makes me sad. Boom stores are a great way to escape the world's craziness
Tonya Marie
This is by far my favorite book store in Kansas, aside from used book stores & metaphysical stores. They have the most insane variety of every kind of book & subject you can imagine. It's huge. They also have a Starbucks so that's a plus.
They have the best selection of New Age, Spiritual topics & Tarot/oracle decks. However, more people are becoming interested in the subject so they don't have quite as big of selection as they did a year or 2 ago. Still impressive though. I don't believe anyone can leave this store without spending a little more than they intended. I certainly can't ;)
Nathan Clark
My go to shop when I need something new to read and they have a good selection of VINYL RECORDS JUST WISH THEY WOUL STOCK A BIGGER AREA OF THEM,, but they do have a nice selection now...
Marie m
You can find just about any book on-site or they will order it
John Schilling
Clean store. Good coffee. Sit a spell and do some reading.
Susan K
Decent select, could use a better variety in the pagan section and educational workbooks. Employees are usually polite, some are snooty-but it's the east side of Wichita.
James Wilkinson
They didn't have any Shadowrun 6e books.
Amy Knight
I've always loved this place! Do you need more books? Do you have many books you haven't read? Either way you should check it out. It's my happy place. Even if I don't buy something, which is rare, I just love to hang out there.
Margaret Sweeton
I love books, so this is the perfect place for me. The recent updates make it seem much more commercial though.
Mary Wendler
I love coming here. Nothing like the smell of a new book! I have a foot in tech and one in old school books. These guys are great when you reserve a book and have it ready quickly. I pop in here to have a coffee and end up browsing the books. Always nice, people are great. Will help you find everything!
Rachel G.
Books and coffee are my two loves in life, and with both in one building I'm in heaven. Knowledgeable, friendly staff that will help when you need it, and leave you to roam and browse in peace when you don't. They have a really great selection to choose from as well, and a clean, organized environment. The only thing I probably don't like is the music they play in the store... it can be distracting.
Jeremy “Beast” Wise
My favorite store! I used to come here with my dad as a child and I am so happy to see that they have GREATLY expanded their selection, as well as selling novelties that book nerds like myself can truly enjoy. I try to make a weekly visit just to keep my brain sharp and my mind open. Thank you for a great store
Sarah Eubanks
The cafe is a good place to meet with friends and talk. It's generally quieter than a regular Starbucks and sells cheesecake so that's awesome.
chris white
Very friendly staff. Wife loves to shop here as do I.
Purple Crayon
The food was ok but the books were delicious. If the food was as good as the books then I would rate 4/5
Sunshine Reed
Love all the books, I have bought many from here. The Starbucks isn't a full Starbucks so some items aren't available but the staff is very helpful. The collector section is also full of fun things, including mtg and figure building.
Drue Ashton
good warm environment, helpful staff and plenty of books, and other fun things like vinyl and harry potter items!
A Google User
Typical Bookstore. Staff is friendly and there is a Star-B "type" coffee shop inside. A general manager told us once that Starbucks had a contract with B&N before they got big and when they were popularized, B&N had to stop using the name but the coffee and foods are Starbucks. Whatever. My family can spend a Saturday there and not be bored!
William Jacob
Loads of great books. Great coffee. Knowledgeable & helpful staff. Very large assortment of books at crazy cheap prices, which sort of makes you wonder how bookstores even stay open anymore. Lots of games & such too. Always a pleasurable experience here.
Info the Fishy Icewing
Books + cafe perfect fit. They have all the cool books!
Naci Pelis
Smell of fresh coffee and new books. Plenty of seating for reading or visiting. Children's area, including books and activities. I was able to find everything I needed (and some bought on impulse). The crew were all very nice and helpful in finding what I was looking for and during checkout. Also, I was unaware until the day I went in that they do a "book fair" fundraiser, where they support local schools by giving back a portion of the proceeds made that to to a school in the area. Really neat!!
Scarbrady
I like being able to browse through the books and magazines with my daughter and seeing all the different options available for both of us. It is our time together. And you can get coffee and a snack. I really wish there was the really comfortable chairs that B & N used to have but it is still a really great place.
Lazer Falcon
They have a great staff and quick check out process. Arrived on 12/23/18 and the line stretched to the back of the store. I was not looking forward to what was surely going to be an hour in line. However, I ended up getting out the door in about 10 minutes.
The membership is worth it if you buy just a couple of books a year.
Rhonda Regier
Busy and due to remodeling had to look around more staff was great offering to help you find what you were wanting. Can't wait to see the end result.
Melinda Gillespie
Needs a bigger romance section but pretty good
Mia Maupin
Great ambience but definitely not the most affordable. The staff is very helpful. I really enjoy the amenities they have and the vibe but not the place for book-lovers who want affordability.
Terecia Eskeli
Love this store. I could spend hours just looking around. Store was recently reorganize took something to relocate my favorite areas. Reorganization was done very nice. Did get some stickers shock as with most prices today.
judith reynolds
Had such a great time shopping at Barnes & Noble with my daughter and granddaughter. We found the books we were looking for as well as some great Christmas gifts. We topped off our visit with a trip to the Starbucks located in the back of the store and thoroughly enjoyed delicious cookies and lattes. A lovely time was had by all. Kudos to the employees in the bookstore for their help in locating some specific books and to the baristas in Starbucks for their kind, courteous service and fantastic recommendations.
Natalie Mata
Great atmosphere! Food is amazing!
Micah Lewis
Such a lovely evening spent at B&N the store was neat and organized! The cashier was so kind! Happy reading everyone! P.s the new Pride and Prejudice murder mystery has been released! HURRY!!!!
Devin Parry
I love this place. Sure it's overpriced but there are so many times you can find a good deal on books that ot is worth stopping in just to look around. I found my new favorite author here by picking up a pack of books on sale. Now I have more books to read than ever. The authors name is Brandon Sanderson by the way. Also super nice, very clean store and restroom and coffee.
Jonathan Kalinowski
Great location, big store, clean, well lite and very organized. This store should have majority of what you are looking for. If they don't, you can order it through them and they will have it shipped to the store or to your house for you. Cafe located inside if fantastic. There are places to find some cheaper books, but this place has its share of cheap books and they have a larger quantity and variety than other book stores. Great place to pickup any book that you must have right away.
Christopher
Nice friendly atmosphere. Coffee shop inside makes for a very 'urban' experience. Some sections could use a little more organization, it's easy to find two or three of the same book on different shelves in some section; but I've never found a book to be in the misplaced in the wrong genre. They also have a great selection of board games and media.
Andre Dorsey
Clean, well organized, classic American bookstore
Amtraknmetalhead
Needed help finding a book and the lady helped me with not only looking up to see if it was available, but she found the book for me. Great service.
Angela
HUGE store full of everything I could possibly want!
Jane Otte
Loved it was great customer service.
Kaylee Bynum
My boyfriend was not sure what kind of different authors he liked. The staff were able to tell him many authors of the same writing style. We ended up buying 7 books thanks to the staffs amazing help!
Rusty Carbaugh
Great bookstore with everything you want! If you’re looking to shop local, I recommend Watermarks, but B&N is a great resource with book signings and events.
jed sully
Staff was friendly goofy and enthusiastic, Well kept store interesting displays. Cafe is medium pricey($4 for a pastry), but considering you don't have to leave the store too get cofee and cake it's worth the cost.
Nkotbgirl19 M.
I am reading again. I like to read R.L stine books Goosebumps series and the new Goosebumps slappy world series books. Great books. At Barnes and Noble bookstores the stuff members are nice and friendly
I will go back to Barnes and noble Bookstores.
Buttons Bizarre
Not quite the same as our own Hastings. It is a nice store. Stephen at the customer service desk was very helpful and knowledgeable. The other employees are nice, polite and helpful. The store was clean. Well lit. I did not have to wait long in the checkout line. I know we will be back.
Jennifer Schmidt
I miss the kiosks that helped me find books in the store, but I understand if they were removed to fight the spread of Covid-19. Fortunately, an employee was available to show me which category the book I wanted had been shelved under.
Brandon Church
Always has a great selection. 9/10 time they have the book I am looking for. Staff is helpful when available. The only reason I give 4 stars is that sometimes the staff is hard to find if you do want help. I enjoy everytime I go though
Jennifer Cassidy
Always clean and organized. I don't like that they took out the little stations where you could look up location of books yourself... some employees at the info desk are rude, but most are nice. Would rather look it up myself. Bring back the stations!!
Dennis Mulanax
Great store and service is good.
Sarah Mountcastle
Highly, overly crowded, and no floor employee asked if I needed help. But this is common during the holidays. The main reason I left feeling disappointed was that the man at the cash register, possibly the head cashier even, seemed antsy to go on break, rather than focused on customer care, unfortunately.
He didn't once smile or say "have a nice day" or even "thank you" to us. I understand it's a crazy holiday season, but, and maybe it is just my mindset, when I worked in this type of position, I tried to make each customer feel welcome. The customer should be the focus.
He literally called up another manager in his earphone while handing us our receipt, saying, "hey I'd really like to take my break now." This WOULD NOT have bothered me, bc I know how busy it can get, and that taking time to put self first is important for health, except that this is how he ended our service.
He didn't smile, he didnt say "have a nice day", and he didnt say "thanks, come and see us again," even after we said "thank you" to him. It was very awkward and cold.
L P
Nice store with a wonderful cafe. Great place to meet for coffee or hot chocolate, and grab a relaxing holiday read. Also nice bags and gift items for the artsy people on your list. Don't miss the children's area for the latest Christmas sories and a copy of Twas the Night before Christmas.
Victoria George
The employees are pleasant. You can generally find any book you are looking for. The Starbucks inside has good seating for studying and decent food. I wish they still had the self serve searching.
Travis Danger
I enjoy having a B&N close, albeit the only one in the city but if I'm looking for a book that day it's nice to have. The only qualms I have with it is that the majority of their online prices do not match the store prices. Their website will have a much lower price and if you're not paying attention you won't notice. At first they said they wouldn't match their own stores online price but after talking to a manager they helped fix this. I hope it will always be this way and not a frustration.
Jean Thiessen
I can never seem to find help here & the look-it-up-yourself kiosks are gone. However, the roving customer service guy is a great idea & ended up helping me twice today in 2 different sections. Planned on buying a new tablet to replace S2 but the tablets they have now have the same specs as my S2. Very disappointing. Highlight of my visit was the young man who was my cashier. He was pleasant, fast & knowledgeable about memberships & all the freebies.

Wonderful smells and great selection of books!
Step through the grand front doors of Barnes & Noble and you'll be met with the aroma of coffee and cafe sandwiches mingling with the familiar smell of freshly-printed literary publications. Sink up to your eyelids in books on any topic, for readers young and old. Find journals, Nook e-readers, toys, and puzzles as well. Stay a few minutes or the whole day or the rest of your life. You're in Barnes & Noble.

This location is amazing and serves Wichita well. The location is prime and easy to see and somewhat easy to get to however the stoplight it's at is one of the worst for accidents on the NE side of town. The online purchase with in store pickup has always been really quick and never once has been wrong and I've used said service many of times.

Noce and clean place. With Starbucks but they don't take payments with your Starbucks account, so thats too bad. We love coming here on Saturdays for the kids Story Time. We always stay longer to play with the train set and read some,more books. Everyone is very friendly and nice.
Ryan Henneberg
I'm a book nut so I love a good book store. They also have a large selection of collectibles, games and toys. The amount of floor space in the store dedicated to the Nook is what kept this from being a 5/5 review.
Michael Neth
I'm torn about rating B&N. They have a great selection of books and an awesome selection of geeky toys and collectables. But the prices are always WAY higher than Amazon. Sometimes they are close enough that I just pick it up here. But most things I buy from Barnes and Noble can wait... And unfortunately it saves a lot of money to order them from Amazon. If they did price matching even close to Amazon's price I would buy more from them.

Barnes & Noble is as good as it's going to get I think and I doubt they're going to read this post or try to correct anything but I do have two sources of contention with them. While they do offer a wheelchair to their patrons the wheelchairs are so small that only a very thin person would fit in them. I barely got my big butt in one of their wheelchairs. They also need to take into consideration placement of their stands/racks because I ended up having to go around the long way a few times because I couldn't fit between two stands in their wheelchair. I was also disappointed to learn that they would not mail magazines to a person who is incarcerated. Since jails/prisons will not allow friends nor family to send the magazines it has to come directly from the merchant so I'll have to look elsewhere for the magazines.
Brian Hott
The staff was eager to help me find the books I needed for Christmas gifts. They had several great options to choose from and I got exactly what I needed.
Tamara Pifer
the store isn't set up any certain section.took me little while to find the book I wanted.staff was very helpful.
Cindy Koch
We went to B&N's Starbucks. My son and I bought Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. I got Italian tort and it was good. I also got vanilla bean frappe which is one of my favorites. You can use B&E reward card but not Starbucks.
Jose Ortiz
Nothing beats a good bookstore where you can just get coffee and be surrounded by the things you love most, Books. The only thing that does bother me is the bathroom upkeep need to be better or just cleaned or replace the toilet seats. Shouldnt look like a old highway gas station bathroom with the rest of the store being as nice as it is. Renovate the bathroom in the only complaint. Always room for improvment.
James West
This is a great place to go and spend some free time. You can spend hours in there finding books about all subjects. The little café in the back is reasonably priced and well kept. You don't realize how long you're in there until you look at your watch. The prices for the books are not overwhelming. I recommend going there.
Kate Green
A fun, clean comfortable place to browse for books.
Stevens S.
Good store, nice selection, we used to visit often for the story telling on weekends but not anymore. They had a great enthusiastic employee reading for children but we haven t seen him for quite some time and the lady who does the reading is rude to both parents and children, doesn t look like she likes what she does at all
Mike Nelson
Something about Barnes and Noble that every time I walk through the door I forget about the outside world and enter into a realm of my brain that is relaxed and calm. Most of the time I just plan to stroll through the isles and not purchase a book....however, more often than not, I always walk out of there with another book to add to my collection. Thank you Barnes and Noble for many years of excellent service as well as selection of books!
Kaitlyn Bauer
I always love this beautiful place. So many interesting little toys and fandom items, not to mention the fantastic collection of books! It always smells like books and coffee in here. If it weren't so far away I would visit more often!
Donatello Krueger
Wonderful store! However I walked out without buying a book because they dont price match Amazon prime. I guess ill come here for exposure and order everything I see in store online and save money!
Terry Walker
Nice atmosphere. Has a Starbucks inside with fantastic food. Comfortable place to sit and read.
Typically broad selections of books, toys, puzzles, Nooks & Kindels, art materials, games, and many project choices for kids.
timothy harrington
Great selection of a wide variety of books, etc.
Efficient friendly service...very helpful in a safe manner...
I was able to find what I needed quite handily
The evening hours are not crowded
emilio c
Nice facility, knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's comforting to have a familiar bookstore (or just a bookstore for that matter) to go to while out of town. This particular B&N is located in a nice shopping center in Wichita. Highly recommended.
Shawn L
This franchise has done a good job filling the void of Hastings after its closing. They now carry figurines models. Games puzzles movies CDs And everything else that Hastings used to do. So I'm quite happy with the results!
K Miller
Well organized, large, clean Barnes and noble with any book or magazine you could ask for.
M Squared
Nice lay out & good coffee
Andrew Bailey
Honestly, overall a nice store, very relaxing to shop in until you see the prices of the books. Way cheaper just to shop online, even if you have their membership, it can never beat online prices.
Gabe “PandaShot13” Eberl
Generally a good bookseller. But that's about it. I've purchased four records from them, and returned two of them, as they've been just shy of unplayable. The recent reorganization is kind of okay. I think it's a little difficult to find what you're looking for in, but it's not the worst. But their music section looks like it was organized by a five year old, and a very stupid one at that. It took me twenty minutes to track down a single item. There's no sense to it. It's obvious that it was thrown together in ten minutes so some guy could leave early.
Camryn “Cam-Bro” Burnett
This place is always great. The workers are helpful, everything is well kept and the cafe inside is very convenient. They always have great selections of books and study material. There is also a nice little gift shop area.
K Lee
Great book selection. 3 stars is for the poor customer service. I was looking for children books and no one around to help. Cashier barely addressed me, didnt even look at me, he was more worried about the restock items.
Barkerby
Typical B&N chain except that it is located in friendly, Wichita, KS. Therefore, the employees are helpful, courteous and efficient. They have a loyalty program that serves almost as a membership that costs money. I'm not big on paying money for a loyalty program but you will be politely asked at check out. They have the best magazine selection in the city but occasionally I have found they have the British issue of some of the magazines I read. There are always people working or studying in the Starbuck's and in the various nooks and crannies of the store.
Allison Geisler
An employee recognized right away that I was having trouble locating a few books I wanted to purchase. Although they weren't in their normal spot, he was quick to know that they were also on display under the best sellers for their category. He did an excellent job helping me.
Barry Cole
Are you kidding me? I've been coming here since it opened. The customer service is always friendly. I walk in and I feel 100 IQ points smarter. The wait in the cafe can sometimes be long but they aren't staffed like a full starbucks and they do the very best they can. Only downfall is that corporate won't allow them to honor deals that you see on the B&N website. You can either get the deal on the website or you can walk out with the item at full price from the store. But I've been a member for close to 18 years now, always worth it.
Alex Guzman
Always a nice experience and staff r always friendly!
The new layout is very nice glad they reduced some of their music section to make more room for books.
Madison Goerend
Great place to browse, grab a drink from the cafe, or even hangout. The people in the cafe are so nice and funny and will remember your drink order. The staff is great at recommendations and helping you out in selecting a book. Overall good store.
Luke Franklin
Great selection I found some cool novelty books but was upset by their refusal to price match(1 book) to their own website. Ended up getting what I wanted cheaper on Amazon so seems like a dumb move Barnes & Noble!
Maryam Lamei
It has a good selection of the books. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only problem is that they don't have enough chair/seats... like c'mon! I have a book in one hand coffee in the other but no place to sit and enjoy both 😑 …
jami schrag
This is a pretty neat B&N. I love that the cafe is in the center of the store and up a couple steps. You can enjoy your coffee and snacks while viewing the store. I happened to get in on some pretty good sales.
Rebecca Roquemore
Very organized store if you want something they have it or will try to get it. Good prices and great sales.
Angella Polzin
Love going to the book store. There was a special treat in store today though. Storytime with drag queens. A few seemed thrilled to be there but others seemed out of their element. Definitely wasn't expecting to see that at the book store.
Lesley High
One of my very favorite places to go! I do wish they would bring their big, comfortable chairs back. Also, move the gift section back to where it was.
Martha Winn
This is a great place to shop for books of any kind located in Bradley Fair on Rock Rd. You can get anything in any subject they have great snack bar too. Hot coffee or tea any kind of snack you can name hot soup, sandwiches there service here is great people are very knowledgeable and yes it's a great place to shop for books and maps and stationary and calendars and craft books ,datebooks, just about anything .Worth the trip across town or from out if town.
James Griffith
This place is a lot more than you might first think. They have books, board games, cards and other stuff that I wasn't expecting. Probably the best bookstore in town. Just kinda wish there was one on the west side of town.
Mr. S0ulMast3r
Very good! I had a great experience.
Dude What
I love barnes and noble. The only thing I hate about them is their exceptionally long check out lanes. It always seems to be backed up when I go to check out and most usually I'm not going to wait. But still I love that they have a huge selection of Funko pops and most any book you want.
Rene West
Beautifully laid out and the Cafe is nice. Helpful staff...Make sure you join the book club membership for $25 to save even more.
Yvonne Rentschler
The perfect book to leave in the car for those "why, how, fact based kids" on any trip with pics!!
Jennifer Miller
We always enjoy visiting because of the relaxing atmosphere. The kid's area is nice and we are able to look at a lot of fun books together. Starbucks is always a plus 😊 …
David B Davis
Comfortable, friendly, well stocked.
Chris V
Barnes and noble is kind of rough these days. It is still a good place to waste an hour but the selection of books isn't what amazon can do. Barnes and noble didn't have a lot of the classic literature I was looking for especially less popular classics. They did have all the new releases of a variety of medias but I still look to amazon for purchases.
Sam Karns
The staff at the Bradley Fair location are always very helpful and courteous. Often times we just swing in to get a piece of cheesecake and a cup of coffee. They usually have some type of dessert special going on.
Stacy Roenne
Always love coming to Barnes and Noble. Staff are helpful, Starbucks is awesome. Quiet peaceful atmosphere. Love getting coffee or cheesecake then browsing the stacks.
Kimberly Morick
Always great to visit here.
Brenda Decow
I love going to here. There is so many deals and always had a good experience going to Barnes and Nobel! It has a great atmosphere and can find a lot of books that are worth reading.
Dakota Stewart
This book store really is an experience and one of my favorite places to go. They have an amazing variety and selection couldn't ask for better.
Michael Fisher
Large, very nice store with its own coffee shop inside with plenty of seating. Oh, and lots of books.
Rigaudon Courante
Really great visit. Friendly staff, even offered to take our books to the front. Very clean atmosphere and stocked shelves.
Destinee Barrientos
We went to an event they had there for a local school. We really enjoyed ourselves and the bargains we could find! The only thing we had to complain about was that we couldn't use our Starbucks cards there. Other than that we loved it!
Chas
I am a lover of used books but sometimes you have to buy new and this is a great place
Clinton Biggs
Since 2 of Sandra's great-grandchildren are celebrating their birthdays this weekend I suggested we go to Barnes and Noble and buy them gifts, tote bags, and cards. We were wanting specific gifts for a 6 and 3 year old girls. When were unsure of where to find the items I called the store and Heather came to where we were and found what we wanted and what we bought bought.
From there I took Sandra to the quilt books in the hobby area and she selected a book for herself, (from me).
This was Sandra's first time at Barnes and Noble and I am certain she will be returning soon and purchase her membership.
ThankYou Barnes and Noble.
Skylar Schaeffer
My husband and I were in town buying a car and I wanted to pick up I'll Be Gone In The Dark. It's been sold out many places but I called ahead and the associate I spoke with pulled the last copy they had from the floor and held it for two hours while we finalized our new car. Picked it up without an issue!
PraisinYeshua
In years past I used to love going to this store and look for long periods of time. I can't do that now. I'm disabled and had to look and look, without anyone asking if I needed help, for their very small "religion/christianity " section, before FINALLY finding it tucked clear back in the far back corner. Finally figured out a little later that I'd been standing next to a store employee much of the time during my search. Of course, with such a small section, they didn't have a very good selection or the book I needed. So I hobbled all the way to the far front corner to order it and painfully stood there while the lady searched for my selection and entered my information, 2-3 times as I have an unusual spelling. She did offer to get me a wheelchair when I first got to the desk, because I could barely stand, but I turned it down, not realizing how long it was going to take to complete ordering my books. Next time, I'll order it online....from them, but online. I'll have to get a motorized chair before I can go there again.
Maria Watson
Would really like to be able to put 2.5 stars, but that's not an option. They took out all the research computers, so now you have to go to customer service to research anything. I like to just browse the stacks and if I'm unsure of a title, look it up, not have to hike all the way to the front of the store and wait in line for a 5 second thing.
Susan H
Went there for a bathroom stop but got drawn in by their merchandise. LOVE this place whether I buy something or not. Staff is always wonderful.
Chrissy Cearely
Barnes & Noble always has the newest authors and a wide selection of books/magazines on a variety of different topics. Plus, you get to enjoy the wonderful fragrance of coffee while perusing the shelves :)
Roblyn Regier
This place is going through LOTS of changes. You really can't find anything right now and I couldn't get anyone to help me, so I ended up ordering online.
Sherpa D
Hadn't been a Barnes and Noble for quite awhile and pretty surprised at how they've expanded past being "just a book store". Bigger selection of scifi/fantasy/popculture than most comic/fantasy stores.
ND Seer
I enjoy coming in and looking at their game section. The books are pricey though and I'd likely just order them online, the games are probably better done the same but we go when we plan on playing them that night.
Mercedez Hurley
Always a pleasant experience. Whether I'm going in for some quick coffee or to look for a book, it's always a good time. They have a little bit of everything and everyone is always so helpful.
James McMunn
Barnes and Nobles is a great book store for currently published books. I tried others but Barnes & Nobles is absoluely #1 in my book.
Mamie Tamara Whitehead
Love this location. Clean, relaxed atmosphere. I come here to collect my thoughts. I signed up for emails to be notified of events like author appearances. Have enjoyed that very much.
KalElSith
This specific Barnes and Noble is complete nerd-vana. There is a huge "pop culture" section filled with Game of Thrones and Harry potter merchandise ... There is a lot more, too much to list here. The store is large and there is a"Nook" section right in the middle that allows you to browse the various Nook models, purchase them as their accessories. This is by far the best Barnes and Noble I've ever been in.
Drew Cranmer
While I love bookstores, this place is a reminder of why there are so few left. The prices in-store are higher than online and usually at least $10 higher than Amazon. As much as I hate to see brick and mortar stores disappear, it's hard for me to justify spending more money than I otherwise would just to keep them in business.
Magic Smith
It's a bookstore, what more could you want? But also the staff there is really nice.
Rat Loaf
Please move the JoJo's books to the religious section, where they belong. other than that, great store. I love the smell of fresh books and the ease of social distancing.
BSonnier
Books are a little expensive, as they are everywhere. The staff is friendly, and they have a wife selection. They'll also order stuff for you, which is nice. They also have a decent sized discount section.
Sashoo
Very clean, organized, & stocked store. You will always find things you didn't even know you were looking for. If you need help, just ask the friendly staff.
E
Nice parking lot. Clean store. Well stocked shelves and nicely organized. Friendly and very professional helpful staff. Enjoyed browsing all the books.
Amber Johnson
Organization of books is different than before. It's hard to find what I'm looking for. Starbucks is NOT an official store (just authorized to serve their drinks) and you cannot use Starbucks points or gift cards there.
Lyn Landrian
The relaxed atmosphere allows for deep thoughtfullness or immersion into your favorite book. Perfect place for working on your laptop or just needing some down time.
LevyLandTV
You cannot beat the atmosphere and cleanliness of Barnes & Noble. This bookstore is a megastore in disguise. Complete with an indoor starbucks, toys isles, and modern technology featured sections, you are sure to find the perfect gift for a friend or treat for yourself.
Teresa Cansell
This is one of the best Barnes and Noble I've ever been in. Plenty of room, well lit, well organized. If only there was a way to make checkout faster...
heather hammel
Perfect place to sit and read. The selection is amazing and even if they don't carry something they will very happily order it for you, or give you a recommendation where to find it. Great coffee as well.
Benjamin Greenwood
Nice selection of books and coffee
Joe E Sutterfield
It's great to browse the books and find a gem I didn't know I needed. Clean, quiet store. It's always fun to go and hard to leave. Great selection.
Zach Lynn
Love going into the book store. You never know what new worlds you will find. Nice place to relax and read and get away from electronics for a few minutes
Donna Coltrane
I asked one girl for help and she said "Um, I work in the cafe" and walked off. She didn't offer to get an associate to assist me and I didn't see anyone around to ask. Was not particularly satisfied.
Heather Northcutt
Barnes and Noble is always a good time. Stopped by to look at books and they had lego activities for the kids! Employees are great, seem to love their job.
Michelle Souza
This is one of the nicest biggest B&Ns I've seen. I go to them everywhere I travel. It's got a huge selection. Tons of toys, a fandom section, and an extensive gift areas as well as lots of magazines.
Shawn Achenbach
Largest bookstore in Wichita with a very large selection and services. They have a starbucks inside, so you can grab a book, sit in starbucks and read for a while which is nice. Prices do seem a bit high but thats what you get in a brick and mortar store. Friendly staff as well, but it does get old when they repeatedly try to sell you their membership when checking out, despite telling them youre not interested.
Sheena Youngers
Who doesn’t love this place? They’ve got so many goodies. Perfect place to grab a gift for just about anyone. The prices are reasonable and everyone seems nice.
Jo Ryder
I was in a hurry but knew exactly what I needed. A very friendly sales associate jumped right in and offered to help. He took me straight to what I needed, plus I found a few other items on my way to the checkout line. Thanks for the customer service 👍 …
Kyle Bear98
Awww books. The turning of crisp pages. The smell that doesn't quite have an exact description. The hushed whispers of those around trying not to disturb others. What a great place to turn off the outside world.
Dan M
Great bookstore! Lots of good titles to choose from. Good magazine section. And tasty refreshments too. Awesome place to enjoy a couple hours!
Amber McAfee
I find myself enjoying B&N more since it is the only big box bookstore in town. I will say the staff is nice... There is just too much stuff in the main aisles
Kyle Buck
I've always enjoyed my experience there and the employees are very helpful..
Lavielle Dennis
They recently rearranged everything and refreshed some of the fixtures. Everything was still easy to find
Ed Trivett
Typical B&N Store, but like the neighborhood, overpriced.
Went to get the latest Michael Heiser book. Clerk knew nothing and when I told her it had to do with the Bible, she went off in that she became snotty and no help whatsoever. Actually tried to tell me about "The religion of peace". When I asked if she was trying to convert me to Muslim I was informed that was the "in" thing and Muslims will rule.
WTF?
Christopher Voldrich
Fantastic selection with a great location. My wife especially enjoys taking a stroll around the pond behind Bradley Fair after getting a book and some coffee to entertain her.
Rinann S
As always, too many books, not enough money. Wish it smelled better upon entering and was cleaner. Won't stop me going once or twice a month, just wish it wasn't losing its cozy feel.
Azar Malik
Coffee shop is horrendously expensive! The kids behind the counter are great but $6 for a slice of cheese cake? I understand that they have to make money, but for the love of...
Ricky House
It seems like these stores are getting harder to find, but I like the large selection, and just walking through the aisles to see what catches my eye. Also good study spot at the Starbucks inside.
April Rabalais
One of my favorite stores.
Cynthia Aviles
The layout of the store is very nice. Starbucks has a good amount of seating if you want to sit there, and relax.
Sammy Pherigo
Very great selection of books and collectibles. Even some great how to books that came with materials.
Brett Farley
If you still love to read a physical copy of a book, Barnes & Noble has you covered. They've recently moved things around inside the store, so some of the sections aren't where they used to be. They've added a Funko area for those that like the Pop figures.
Linda Robinson
Great bookstore...if you do not see the book you have been looking for... just ask they will ok rider ur. Coffee or other drinks guite spot to read...gift items...gifts for all ages a great bookstore
S R
Barnes and Nobles has definitely stayed with the ever growing trends. I like the ability to get something close by than in most cases I would've ordered online.
Britt Keller
They are always fully stocked with any kind of books, your looking for. Friendly & courteous employees.
Deb T Kansas
Best customer service in town! I could spend days is this store! Gifts, DYI, Kids, etc. Such a good place to enrich your soul! Coffee too!
William Fulls
I have never been disappointed with this store. The staff go above and beyond. I have always found what I have been looking for, and then always something more! I can and have spent hours in this great store!
Rachelle Erickson
So many things! Great and clean atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Starbucks inside is good!
Marybeth Halley
It's been rearranged since my last visit, looks great, found what I needed right away, and had time for some great coffee
Julie Alexander
Great service and very helpful and friendly staff! We were able to get the last copy of the book our son needed!
Dee Pierce
Excellent book store, service is awesome and the atmosphere is warm and friendly.. love this book store, it is so relaxing, perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening, love the Starbucks inside Barnes and Noble too, its PERFECT
Erik McCall
Very nice and easy to look and hang out at the afternoon sun hits the reading room pretty strongly and the chairs get hot there but otherwise a nice quiet place to read.
Justin Gourley
Great customer service and excellent selection. Went in to see if they had a not so popular book and they did.
Michelle Kleiner
Delicious Iced Chai tea latte!! And found our favorite records!
Debra Tasker
That's the way you do it! Called about a book that was in stock. They set aside a copy that I picked up in a timely manner. Love their customer service & variety of products.
Debrah Bupp
They were very busy, but service was quick and courteous. And they had exactly what my Granddaughter wanted!!
nancy ratzlaff
Favorite place! I love to shop for books and this is hands down the best!
Rob Shaffer
Friendly staff who helped immediately. Just a good environment.
Maximilian “Max” Roberson
Sometimes staff is elitist and other times very friendly and helpful. Regardless, I adore this location, the selection of books, and how I can just enjoy being surrounded by books
Fabio Lopez
Great. They were able to check my balance on my gift card.
Thomas Pinkston
This Barnes & Nobles is so hip, the Starbucks inside wouldn't make a peach tea and refused my service like the peasant I am. Thank you Starbucks
for humbling me.
Athena McWhorter
I love this bookstore! It's always clean and organized. I always find exactly what I need and even a few gems I probably don't need.
Emil Fisher
I'd forgotten that Barnes and Nobles was still around even if only one location. What an absolute joy and pleasure it was to go in this epically large building, to find a Barnes & Noble like I remember but much larger and way nicer.
Matt Atteberry
Very few books on sale.
Cocoa Monkey
Love B&N
I prefer dead authors which they usually don't carry, but will order them.
levi staley
Helpful employees and pricing is same as online purchasing. Large selection in any genre. They are good with books. Because they are books.
Trish Juaire
There is a decent selection of vinyl records to go with the books. Prices aren't outrageous. Customer service was a bit lacking...
Caden G
I dont know if they use the Dewey decimal system or not, but I do know that I can never find the book I'm looking for. The employees are all very social and helpful though!
Amanda Colgrove
So much to look at and so little time! My favorite section is the board games, but I could easily spend all day browsing the entire store.
Mic' Belcher
Alway's more then willing to help you out . They walk you to where u need to go/be. Its hard to find customer service these days!! So its a great relief to know that one can go and count on a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
Troy Caywood
Wichita is unfortunately lacking in the bookstore department. Barnes and Noble is my favorite store in Wichita. I really hope they don't go out of business.
Gene Trivitt
Good experience as usual. Had help finding what was on my list. Also good to have a brick and mortar book store to browse and see what else is available.
Cynthia Hill
Took a min to get some help finding what I was looking for, because this is not a store I usually shop at. After sitting a few at customer service and then walking closer to the door I finally found an employee to direct me correctly. Made a purchase and out the door I went.
Steph Lefort
In and out quick! Called and they put 2 books on hold and shipped another for me. It was a breeze! Cant wait until i have time to browse at my leisure.
Cat M
I love this book store, I wish I had a chance to visit more but it’s clean and all the staff is helpful.
Amanda Jane
Great selection. Helpful staff. Wonderful experience
Matt Katzenberger
Even if the model for buying books in a brick and mortar store is a bit dated, this is still a wonderful place. Anywhere full of books, where you can sip on some coffee is AOK in my book.
Trey B
It was really busy with the Christmas rush, but a lady helped me find what I needed so I didn't have to spend a lot of time looking. It was awesome!
J Jones
This is a book worm's Heaven. I felt like I died and have gone to Heaven whenever I go here when I visit Wichita! I wish we had one in our town. I would never leave!
Debra H
The young lady on the north side got me in and out fast .. I came in for someone else's books and showed her the author and name of the books.. gone in less than 10 mins that was great for me.thanks
Chris Wilcox
Was there during Christmas so heavier than normal. The wait was not that long. The store is laid out in a very pleasing format, easy to navigate
westover family
Perfect atmosphere. Quiet amd clean. Friendly staff
Guy Kass
Beautiful store. Well stocked. Sort of the Taj Mahalo of bookstores.
Robin Ford
I love this store - where U can find anything your heart desires to read & the friendly/helpful staff. 💖 …
Emerie Elise
Great place to grab a drink and find books. Sucks that the starbucks doesnt take the app and doesnt sell the new drinks at starbucks as long as a normal one.
Jill Relph
I love the smell of books. Everyone was very helpful.
Dr. Danielle Reif
Staff was very helpful and even though the book I was looking for was out of stock, they called another Barnes & Noble and placed it on hold for me.
Chad Everhart
One of the few brick and mortar bookstores left that still carries tons of books.
Cautela
Good selection, however I wasn't the biggest fan of having to ask a person for ideas on which books to find, I like doing that on my own with perhaps the assistance of a store search kiosk, which they removed.
Scooby Doo
Good books. Good environment. Good coffee. Quiet. All around quaint little store.
Rohan Kulkarni
Good place to spend couple of hours reading and exploring what you like before deciding what to buy..
justin holley
Great place to hang out with friends, instead of bars let's have book stores open late
Scott Garrison
I always come there to shop for books amd movies. The staff are great and they have a very nice selection. Highly recommend going to shop there
dan harrison
I always enjoy a good book store and B&N is great.
Sonja Pendergraft
My best place to shop in Wichita!! Very friendly and helpful staff. If they don't have it, they will order it. I love this place!!
Annie Jones
Book lovers heaven on earth!
Mike Berry
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Service was quick, even during the holiday rush.
Makenzi Jones
Love this place but I wish they were a little more friendly about people reading/studying there. the lack of tables outside of the cafe area makes it very hard to sit, drink coffee/eat food and do what you need to do.
Keith Baldwin
Always enjoy going here. Love the selection of books plus find great items for adding to geek collection.
Scout mom
Love going and finding new books well organized and friendly staff willing to help you look for whatever your look in for
Sanguine Vulpes
Good place to get books and stuff

Good bookstore. They've rearranged so may take a little longer to find what you're looking for.
Kay Sands
