I like the combination of books and learning toys. And the ability to find a magazine to read.

Just love this place. You can find a variety of books from different genres all at one place. There are also great books on sale and reduced prices that wont burn a hole in your pocket. And all this while enjoying a hot cup of coffee from the Starbucks located inside the store.

I had a really great in-store experience here! Simran, the cashier, was extremely pleasant and offered so much assistance in finding what I needed. The store can be super confusing, so her eagerness to assist definitely made the shopping experience worth 5 stars!!!!

Good book selections, friendly staff. Not many options at the cafe and many of the items used to make the drinks on the menu often run out. Very nice store aside from that.

Barnes & Noble bookstore at the Brunswick Square Mall, State Route 18, East Brunswick, NJ. 08816 🔲 Latest visit - 2021 June 24 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 . Stopped here briefly today. Still a favorite bookstore ⬛ This review dated 2020 Dec.04 - My last visit at this shopping mall bookstore was 2 years ago per Google Maps Timeline. I love this bookstore especially during the holidays. I love spending a minimum of 2 hours just looking at the magazines, bargain📚books, picture 📚 books, certain books of interest, and I love the cafe. Reading 📚 leisurely and eating - one of the best things one can do during their downtime. The environment at this particular bookstore gives me a feeling of home - like time slows down in a bookstore and one can temporarily escape reality for 2 or more hours. I have been coming here for years since I moved from NYC in 2005 and its always nice here. NO problems - cant complain. Perfect 5-star rating 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟. This review was posted on 2020 Dec.04

This store has an amazing selection of books and other reading material. If the book is not in stock, they can order it and have it sent to the store or your home. Unfortunately, their prices are not very competitive. Amazon and warehouse stores have better prices.

There could be a better area for children but the place is great. Its nice and quiet and clean. The Starbucks inside is great too. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well. I always have a good experience when I visit. They have reading and coloring for kids on Sat am. They also had NBA player Chris Smith come and sign his childrens book. J.R. was supposed to be there as well. Naturally he canceled last minute SMH.

The pandemic kinda messed them up. You can’t grab a coffee and book and chill for a bit. No chairs no tables. Wonder if it’ll ever go back to how it was. This place was my sanctuary (

Although I wish there were more small independents left, at this time in our lives I am just glad there are still places with shelves of books to browse and buy. The lounge area could use an upgrade.

The selection in this Barnes and Noble is great, but most importantly the customer service is even better. I love to give my money to businesses that are customer service driven. I called to see if they had a particular book in stock and Mathew told me they had several editions of it, and to just come by and go to the customer service desk. When I arrived all editions of the book were waiting for me to chose. I thought that was super cool. Matthew answered all my questions and took me to find another books that I was interested in. Definitely this one will be my go to bookstore in the area!

Review №75

I love B&N because its a great place to have quiet time, a place to take kids & family to read a good book or get a quick bite to eat atvStarbucks... I love to catch up on the latest fashions, new recipes or news in the magazine area. Its also a great place to buy special gifts for anyone. I love to give writing journals as gifts or get the latest book. When my husband worked at B&N for over 16 years his job was outsourced & it was sad not only his lost job but all the fringe benefits the company provided. So when you need a little me time, visit B&N, grab a cup of coffee & read a good book!🤗

Review №76

The lady at the front register who claimed she was the manager was very rude and not welcoming at all. She wouldn’t accept my little brother’s discount card (our mother has been working at the DC for more than 15 years). Simply bc his school ID included two last names. But from what I understand they just match the ID picture to the person. We have never had a problem until today. Nonetheless the other two gentlemen at the store were very helpful in helping us find books we needed. We were so upset and drove to Menlo, their customer service was impeccable. They had no problems with his ID.

Review №77

I love this location! The people are friendly, the area is clean, and its lovely to have a place to sit and read books and have a coffee. It feels as if there is a lack of places for people to hang out in this area, but this is great if you want a fairly quiet place to relax while also being out. Also really great that the tables are accessible, you can roll a wheelchair right up and sit comfortably.

How can you go wrong with Barnes and Noble! This is a nice size Barnes and Noble so you dont feel like you get lost in the books. My only complaint would be that there is no mall opening from inside the Barnes and Noble, but even has never been a concern. I never leave with out a book or two or three. This was the first time I went to the cafe and the service was polite and fast. I got a grilled cheese and a drink and both were tasty!
