    I love bookstores as much as I love books and its that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you browse through aisles and aisles that I chase . This Barnes and Nobles feels slightly less inviting owing to the floor plan being more open and the aisles being very far apart but its just my personal preference. Quite a good collection of books and magazines as well as toys and puzzles for kids. I still feel its limited in terms of genres and more focused on just the popular ones. They had a lot of variety for planners , gifts and other Knick-knacks . There is also a coffee shop inside for patrons .

    As someone who grew up going to the old Tanasbourne B&N, I was sad to see the old one torn down. It had a warmer and cozier vibe, almost like entering a living room. I loved that it had an actual Starbucks attached to the bookstore. The new Barnes and Noble, though it is spacious and organized well, has a darker and colder feel. It doesn't have the same inviting quality that would make you want to spend hours browsing books. I do like that there's plenty of seating sprinkled throughout the store. There's a cafe located inside the bookstore that isn't a Starbucks, though it does serve Starbucks coffee. You can't use your Starbucks card here unfortunately. Having said all that I'll continue to support B&N because I still enjoy coming in and browsing physical copies of books. The remodel is still very nice and modern. It'll just take me awhile to get used to this new revamped Barnes and Noble.

    I'm so excited to have Barnes & Noble open again in this area. Even though I mostly purchase books online, it's so nice to have a local place to go in person and be able to browse through a huge selection featuring many genres. Being able to touch the books and flip through the pages, especially with cookbooks, is a major advantage before deciding to buy. The space is expansive, exactly what you expect from this brand and the aisles are designed with plenty of space in between so it doesn't feel claustrophobic or cluttered. The shelves were fully stocked and I love how they integrate non-book items into the book displays. This location is definitely modern and vibrant.

    This is my favorite Barns & Noble location. I've been hand sold books many times by their wonderful staff. I love the unique suggestions.

    What a delight visiting Jan's Books. As a newbie, I only know it from their new location in Raleigh…read moreHills. What's strange, is that most of the space used to house my favorite thrift store, run by The Cat Adoption Team...but I digress. I had the incredible opportunity to talk with the shop's owner, Lori. She is a major book lover, is extremely knowledgeable and has the best organization system for her inventory. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, she has areas within the store for us. I love knowing where I can find an array of queer books by genre, including a small selection of new books. Vast majority of the inventory is used and the prices are extremely reasonable. I can see why customers are loyal to this store. I was so impressed, I bought a few books and also signed onto be a monthly member. This helps ensure that we keep these unique small businesses in business. I'm putting my money where my mouth is and supporting them. It's a trek for me but it's my new book home and I highly recommend them. Friendly staff, easy parking and very reasonable prices! If you love books, you will love this place!

    This place is so fun and not that far from the main street at all. They have a really wide…read moreselection from history to YA fantasy to cookbooks and lots of romance. Note though that a lot of sections are labeled romance but aren't actually romance books. Definitely a hidden gem for all book lovers!

    One tip: if there's a title you like check the prices on ALL copies. One book I initially set down…read morebecause the paperback was $20, but checked the hardcover out of curiosity and found it was used (didn't look it) and only cost $13! So you never know. If you're a book lover plan to spend a whole day here, or at least half. The place is obviously massive, but surprisingly well organized and mapped; there are lots of signs making it easy to find what you are looking for. Easily our favorite was the gold room which contained mystery, horror, comics and manga, as well as romance. There are computers around where you can search for specific titles, and staff is helpful with recommendations as well. In terms of the pricing, there are excellent used books. I got a copy that I would have sworn was brand new for $10 off the listed price.

    Date of visit: May 11, 2026…read more This place is often listed as one of the best bookstores in the country, if not the world, and I could see why after traversing its many floors and aisles! An emporium of both new and used books (always make sure you check the price sticker on the back before purchasing in case you really need a new version of a book), there is a little bit of everything here. In addition to books, this is a great stop for souvenirs including pins, local snacks, lines, and mugs. If you're short on time, you can kill two birds with one stone here at Powell's. If you're not short on time, seek out a pass for the Rare Book Room and scope out the treasures on display there. Like everywhere else in Portland, bathrooms do have a code, so seek out an employee before looking to use the facilities.
