    Lego's everywhere

    Hi yelps! Today 10-15-2025 was the grand opening of Kendall's new Barnes and noble location. It's now one floor, great lay out of all the books! They had a huge and great selections of all books. A good size kids area with seating, tables, legos area. Starbucks is still here! they now extended the cafe and it's huge! my caramel frappe was delicious and see myself coming back to the book store. Adults don't really have so much seating areas around the store other than the actual cafe. It's a great place to come study, read a book, come with the family. I'm happy it's still around! I was so upset to hear about the prior location closing but coming today - I'm so happy with how it turned out and appreciate all the effort they put into it! :) wish I would've taken more pics.

    This Barnes & Noble is one of my favorites places to come to browse for hours. In our increasingly online society, it's great to come to a place where you can touch books & explore them before committing to purchasing. This B&N looks clean and nicely organized. Employees are friendly and helpful. I love this bookstore and hope to keep coming for many years to come.

    This place is huge!

    My family and I are connoisseurs of Barnes and Noble. In fact, that very store is what kept my family and me sane during our three-year stint in Minot, ND. Therefore, I feel like I can honestly say through my B&N prowess that this is one for the books. What can I say about this place that the pictures don't show? The store is huge, it's massive, it's two full floors with a cafe and a rather large Hispanic section. In one week I must have visited this place at least three to four times. Some B&Ns have a rather large game section, this one did not. However, it does have a significant kid's section, a religious section with multiple shelves of bibles, and a nicely sized history section. Just trust me, this place is great! Go, enjoy, and read more. Enjoy!

    I love coming here! This where I went after a movie in the shopping center next door and although it's changed over the years it still has a wonderful selection of goods, games, records (on the second floor). My favorite part is that back in the day my parents would bring me here and now that my parents are older they want to get back into reading more themselves. I love that their Spanish section is bigger than I have seen at other B&Ns. You make your selection, enjoy a coffee/treat at the cafe, and find books to sit in throughout the store. This store reminds me that people still love physical stores and media and is always a pit stop when I'm back home.

    Ou next summer adventure with kids take us to Barnes & Noble located in Kendall one of favorites library store. With several departments for children's books for young people and adults, which make this place the perfect place to open a portal and travel through history through reading. Magazine, books and more options to choose or select

    I enjoy coming here to because I love being surrounded by books and having for myself a cup of coffee. Just like any other B&N establishment, they have many books under many different categories with the children's section located on the first floor and the music/audio section located on the second floor. They sell a lot of stationary and cards, and surprisingly, a lot of toys and games, as well. There's a Starbucks Cafe to the right side of the store as you enter, which sells pretty much everything a stand alone Starbucks sells. However, they don't take Starbucks gift cards since they are under B&N establishment but if you have the B&N membership, discounts do apply at the cafe. And depending on what time you come to the cafe, all the tables are usually taken. Tables can someone be dirty, depending on the previous person using it, and the chairs are very worn that the cushion is very flat with some obvious holes in others. Restrooms are located towards the back to the right and are a little "meh" in terms of cleanliness and tidiness, in my opinion. Overall service is very exceptional--friendly, helpful and efficient.

    In today's world of mobile phones, iPads, computers and Amazon it's a miracle that businesses like this have survived. Barnes and Nobles is an awesome place that reminds me of a modern library where you can not only find or buy a book for people of any diverse group or simply spend time in a reading in a very comfortable setting sipping on your favorite Starbuck's latte. Place is very clean and has ample comfortable setting and a Starbucks. It's got all the most recent best sellers, school text books and old classics that cover any subject you can imagine or have interest. Surprisingly with all the competition in this type of brick and mortar business was full of people on Friday night. Highly recommend this business when looking for text books or a tHe latest hot selling authors release.

    I fell in love with reading since I was a child. I remember having a library card and always going to check out books weekly. As I've gotten older I've forgotten my love for reading. Recently, I've had a spark ignite in me again and instead of me downloading a book on my nook(which has never been used and has a collection of dust) I decided to head back into a book store and just get lost. Barnes and Nobles is the perfect bookstore. It's so close to home, has a vast variety of books, records(yeah as in vinyl), story time for kids, and let's not forget coffee (Starbucks to be exact). There are tables to sit and study or read your book right there. Some people even plop themselves in an aisle and read right there. And I love the smell, I know that sounds weird but all that paper and hardcovers really just bring happy memories. I had been hearing about a specific book and so I went online to order it and received a 15% discount and it was ready for pick up in less than an hour. When I arrived the smell of vintage hit and I decided to wander around. Before you know it over an hour had passed and I made a list of more books for purchase after finishing this one. I went to the register to pick up my book and was on my way. For anyone wanting to still go to the bookstore and just do a pick up so you can still look at different books and items I recommend doing it online. For others get lost and go up and down all the aisles and find your secret reading treasures.

    Love coming here!! Have been coming here since I was in college. Wow, that is a while back!! I enjoy coming to purchase books for me, my kid and now my grandchildren! They almost always have what I am looking for but if not they order it for you and email you when it arrives!! EASY!! On Saturday there is story hour for kids. There always seems to be groups gathered by the cafe which by the way is a Great Starbucks!! I try to order the books before going to avoid the lines and have time for myself and a nice cup of caramel Frappuccino!!

    Good ol' Barnes and Noble. I have been fortunate enough to see this place grow and change over the years. There are certainly a lot of great things about this bookstore - access to great books, cookbooks, children's books, magazines, notebooks, and creative kits. I would say this place is definitely best for the younger crowd. There is a children's section that is delightful and even a little reading nook. There are also tons of Manga and Anime figures for teens and young adults. Now for adults - I'd say this is a pick up what you need and leave kind of place. While the cafe does have WiFi and a decent amount of seating, it's hardly the place to get work done. First of all NO ACCESS TO OUTLETS. You better have a full charge. Also remember how I mentioned how it's a great place for kids? It can definitely be difficult to concentrate in that environment. Overall, I'd say I have a lot of love for bookstores and BN is no exception. But they need to do more to go from alright to being great. One big thing that has changed for the positive (almost 4 stars worthy) is the structure of the aisles and how downstairs is for the younger crowd/fiction readers while the more nuanced crowd can find their content upstairs. I have found the setup pretty helpful. But seriously, don't buy your books from Amazon. Support bookstores.

    30 minutes before closing, they won't take in one more purchase

The avocado and…read moreegg toast was huge and loaded up with egg and avocado; we shared it amongst 3 of us and still didn't finish it. Each toast was between $16-$18. Our lattes were a bit pricier than I'm used to (around $8 each) and as expected for a latte. All of the pan, sweets, and pastries were tasty and fresh. The space was crowded when we came in but we were able to get a small table and enjoy our meal. The staff was nice, friendly, and patient with my parents who do not speak Spanish (which was appreciated). Not pictured: almond croissant & key lime tarte (to go, and around $15 total) which were both fresh and tasty. We also ordered a quesadilla (about $6) which had a sweet cheese filling baked atop/in the middle of the dough. One downside... YOU, the customer, has to pay the credit card fee of 3+%, which I did find off putting after spending over $75 in their establishment. I could see if it was under a $10 purchase, but when you're spending $75+ it feels like sneaky business to pay the stores credit card fee (which is a business expense on their end), while also covering the tip and taxes, which are expected.

To start off, they didn't put the correct milk in either coffees, and when I went to ask them about if they put the correct milk in them, the man irritatedly answered me with a lie and said yes he did. I know they weren't because of the fact that the coffee tasted thicker and I cannot drink regular milk and my body immediately reacted to it. Horrible service is the first thing I will say about this place. The PRICE! my goodness this place is NOT WORTH THE PRICE! way too expensive for a mediocre size meal that I feel I could've made with more love at home. The food tasted good but not good enough for the arm and leg they are charging. there should not be a reason i'm paying $100 for 2 coffees, MINI EMPANADAS and 2 sandwiches.

We opted for take-out and included their regular chocolate croissant, the Dubai chocolate croissant, the ham & cheese quiche, and a beef patty. The ham & cheese quiche came with a fresh side salad, and after the first bite, I can confidently say this is one of the best quiches I've ever had--better than many I've tried at hotels, on cruises, or from other bakeries. The flavor, texture, and balance were outstanding. The beef patty was another pleasant surprise. It was juicy, packed with flavorful ground beef, and wrapped in a soft, thin, and tasty pastry shell. Simple but very well executed. The classic chocolate croissant was delicious, with a perfectly flaky texture and rich chocolate filling. The Dubai chocolate croissant was also indulgent, though a bit sweeter than I personally prefer, but still very enjoyable and high quality. Service at the counter was friendly and efficient, and the packaging--both the boxes and the bag--was neat and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, a great experience. We're looking forward to trying more items from their menu in the future.

The food was actually amazing, especially for a casual cafe environment. I had the loaded avocado toast which came with two slices toast with creamy avocado spread across it, cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of feta cheese, a balsamic vinegar sauce. For my daughter I ordered the waffles with berries. This was slightly smaller than I expected but delicious. So sugary and flavorful. And I had a honey cinnamon latte which I also felt was full of flavor and had lots of cinnamon (I've had this in other places where I felt the flavor and cinnamon were lacking). That being said, it took 24 minutes to get our food which I think is a bit excessive for this environment. There was only one girl working when we were there and lots of people. Also, the bill for all that (plus an apple juice) was $53 and change including tip! (I paid that same amount recently at a cute sit down restaurant where the meal was big enough to have plenty of leftovers). The ambiance had a clean, minimalist aesthetic with pretty decor pieces. It was very quiet too... about halfway through my visit, they turned on some music, but it was still a quiet, calm environment with the music. I prefer a busier, fun type of vibe, but for those who are looking for something very serene and calm this would be an ideal place to relax or get some work done as long as you're willing to wait for your food!

We used a 20% coupon when you check in on Yelp and tried a couple of things. I was craving an acai bowl and my son got a smoothie. He loved it ! Healthy monkey shake with peanut butter, can't go wrong. The acai bowl left a lot to be desired if you enjoy something healthy. In my opinion, acai bowls shouldn't be sweetened with anything else other than the fruits they have on top but this bowl was sweet. Too sweet. On top of that, there was honey on it which I would've opted out for if I had asked if the acai was sweet. Definitely on me but I wouldn't come back to get an acai bowl just because of the sweet acai. That's MY personal preference. On top of that, the strawberries used were also sweet in marmalade? No need. This seems like what they're known for and it's just not it. I really wanted to like this spot for what they're known for, their açaí bowls, as it has fantastic reviews just for that !
