The tiniest, cutest bookstore around!…read more This place may be small, but wow does it have character. It's a book lover's dream -- compact, cozy, and absolutely packed with great reads. The shelves are well‑stocked, and the owner, Karen, will surprise you with what she manages to fit into such a tiny space. And honestly, the best part is Karen herself. She cares deeply about her customers and her community, and it shows every time you walk in. This is the beauty of indie bookstores: people who genuinely care. I love stopping by and having conversations with her. I flip‑flop a lot in what I read and never stick to one genre, but I can tell Karen what I'm in the mood for, and she has never once failed to recommend a great book. It's a gem of a shop, and I always leave feeling happy I stopped in.

Though, I did come into the store with the intention of finding a new book(s) to read and I happily did! The store is organized nicely in an easy to access manner. Everything is reachable (coming from someone who is on the shorter spectrum). I will say it was a little difficult for me to find the genre signs, but after looking harder I'm able to see it. Additionally, I appreciate the signage from fellow readers (assuming they're employees) recommending books and giving a short review on them. Overall, this was a really fun experience! I signed up for their rewards program using my phone number so I'm looking forward to coming back!

I visited the store on 4/26/26 around 11 a.m. because it looked interesting, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was very disappointing. The person at the counter never greeted me, and her demeanor felt very negative the entire time. I left shortly after arriving, as I didn't feel welcomed at all. If she is an employee, some customer service training could make a big difference. If she is the owner, a warmer and more inviting approach would be important to create a positive impression. First impressions matter a lot, and unfortunately, this visit left me feeling unwelcome. I won't be returning.

One of the things I enjoy most is that there's a Starbucks inside, so I can sip on a coffee while browsing through my favorite books. They also have a nice selection of books in Spanish, which I truly appreciate. It's a space that inspires me and is also perfect for my kids. Every Saturday at 2 p.m., they host a storytime event for children, and sometimes they even have fun LEGO-building activities, which my kids really enjoy. Barnes & Noble is a place where my children and I can share our love for reading in a cozy and welcoming environment. All the service is always the most nice and welcoming.

It has mostly new books and some great quality used books. To the left of the cafe is a huge children's section that includes a great Spanish selection. My kid & I sat down on the cozy rug and chair to read and picked our favorites to buy. We were never rushed out which I appreciated. My husband found several books and they had a great selection of gifts and unique finds. The staff were super friendly and I saw one helping a young adult find a book. They have a gender neutral restroom in the kids section. There are some small tables and a few chairs inside and outside. I look forward to coming back next time I am in Napa!

As a family that loves reading, we're always on the lookout for great finds especially for our five year old, who's currently obsessed with graphic novels and funny stories like Dog Man and Captain Underpants. The store's layout made browsing a breeze everything was clearly labeled, well-organized, and easy to navigate.We even scored a few great picks from their Sale table!

They also sell small items, such as games, totes and more, for gifting. I always like to walk in and browse and see if I'm drawn to anything new read~ Today, a delightful new book was right infront me and after skimming a few pages. I knew this is it. Service is absolutely amazing. I have this weird habit of having to make a book cover for my new books. Staff kindly offered me a few options for my book cover and I eventually decided to use brown paper. I got my new book and covered it with protective paper on the spot. They are very accommodating. I really appreciate that. Looking forward to stepping in again for my next read~

I just appreciate that there are still a few Barnes and Nobles around. This isn't your father's…read moreBarnes though. The old Barnes and Nobles you could spend a couple hours walking around looking at books. This is the light version. Unfortunately online stuff has put us in the situation where you can go into this bookstore and cover the whole place in around 15 minutes. I was looking at the "horror" section and it's okay but again, the light version. Also the fact everything is so expensive now also doesn't help. A paperback was 20 bucks. I'm not paying 20 bucks for a book I'll read once that I can get a the library for free. Magazine prices are absurd. I did find a couple that were 8 bucks but most are over ten and usually more. For a magazine. I hope this type of place keeps going but I can see why they don't. Support your local book store.

Delighted to find it was lower than Amazon and even some other online used bookstores. I arrived at Barnes & Noble and decided to browse a bit before picking up the book. I find the layout of the store quite easy to navigate. For the most part items are easy to find. As I was browsing, a clerk named Kara asked if I needed any help. That's always nice. As it turned out she also helped me when I went to the checkout area for my book. For some unknown reason the online price did not pop-up and I was reluctant to pay the full price (less the 10% member discount). Kara was very diligent about finding the originally quoted price. Very refreshing to find good customer service. That's what keeps customers coming back!

From plushies and keychains to blind boxes and decorations, there is a reason this business has rightfully earned so much of my money. They post a lot of helpful content on their Instagram account to keep you up-to-date on what is in stock. The staff is super friendly and do their best to give you a heads up on when new shipments are coming in. They are definitely worth making the trek from the El Cerrito Plaza and prices are reasonable to original price compared to other retailers (and arguably a better deal since you do not have to deal with shipping).
