My old book group used to meet here. I have spent many a cozy evening at Barnes. This particular location has an amazing selection of books and frankly I think it's a gr eat store. They have tables with plenty of space and sell food and drink as well. It is a great place to get a snack while your talking about your favorite book. I really love book stores in general but there are hardly any around anymore. This location is nice with plenty of parking and quite spacious and nice inside. You are not going to find a nicer book store in this part of Connecticut.

Went here to study today & the space was very nice the tables are really small though. But this Starbucks is a nice quiet area to study and get some things done. The barista that made my caramel macchiato lawwddd bless her lol she made that with love .

Amazing experience! We came with a group of 50+ students & teachers for a holiday book reading, tour of the store & book shopping! Excellent children's book area! Gayle the manager was beyond accommodating & made us feel welcome meeting all our needs! Phenomenal customer service & generosity! Will definitely return!

Yummy sandwich

I am reviewing this place as an eatery and as a bookstore. They are the " last man standing" in terms of retail bookstores, and personally I buy my books from that unmentionable online retailer. Occasionally I come here for a gift book, but mostly I come here to read magazines. The magazine selection is huge and I might spends two hours reading. But I usually get coffee, which is very good, and a sandwich, which are good as well. The sandwich in the picture is chicken on ciabatta, warm and toasted. The carrot cake is quite good too

Starbucks inside of BN.

This is a nice, big, clean, fully stocked BN. They have a Starbucks sit down cafe inside. They sell Godiva chocolates, and oh yeah a plethora of various reading/audio material and a bunch of other miscellaneous items, help you part with your $$. Each "department" (topic) of reading material has quite a variety of items by various authors. The only department I thought that was rather small, was the audio books dept, they didn't have anything I'd personally consider listening to, but then again there's many departments in here I personally am not remotely interested in. Any way I came in to just look at a couple of books I'd seen online and did end up making a purchase. The staff seem ready to help, without being too pushy, thankfully so! I mean this is a kind of place, you can walk into, and after what seems like a relatively small amount of time, you've realized, I spent how much time in here!? The prices are printed on the books from the factory, I always wonder, how do they decide how much they'll charge for each book? I mean the books I was looking at, I was obviously interested in, but the prices are a bit steep..But I guess that's another story.

What do you do with kids on a rainy day? I have found it easy to spend at least 2 hours here. We sit in the children's section and read and we usually buy a book or two. Then we have something to eat and the kids love the various sweet tasty things and I can get decent coffee. The selection of adult titles is decent but they can order me anything. And the sale table allows me to buy gift books for sometimes absurdly low prices.

The Tomato Caprese Sandwich was delicious.

We like to support new restaurants in the area and decided to give Guji a try for lunch. It also…read morewas enticing to receive a 25% discount on any meals eaten in the restaurant. They advertise themselves as an all you can eat buffet. To our surprise, there was no buffet, and you simply checked off items on a slip of paper which using their judgement they later brought to you some of the items we requested. The food was satisfactory at best but pleasantly presented. It probably should have been better chilled. Unfortunately, the bad service ruined our experience. There was only one other customer in the restaurant, and we were ignored for most of the time that we were there. The waitress was sweeping, mopping, cleaning the water and soda machinery. We had to ask for her attention on multiple occasions. The ambience was not inviting. It is very large and kept very cold. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. We always give a new place a chance, but in this case, one chance is enough.

We ordered so many things I couldn't keep track but I can't think of anything I didn't like. My only issue was that if you weren't an avid sushi person you might not remember what was what so labels might be handy. The service was quick and friendly. They kept the water and tea coming and anything else was patient with our large crew. I love the clever addition of the soft serve for dessert! Nice! My new go to for sushi nearby!

Tried Mai Thai Restaurant yesterday lunch and had a really nice meal…read more The lad na seafood but substitute with pork was flavorful with a rich gravy and tender meat. The same as I had in Thailand. The fresh summer rolls were light and refreshing, with dipping sauce. You can also request with delicious peanut sauce. Server gave me to try. My sister ordered the shoyu ramen with shrimp tempura, which was delicious. Tempura was served separately so it was crispy. My mom also had Ladna seafood but shrimp only. It is really big portion. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the mood for Thai and Japanese noodles.

We tried this place with a family of 6 for a weeknight dinner and this is by far the worst Thai…read morefood I've had in the New Haven county area. The spring rolls were an absolute joke and overpriced. They had a very weird funky taste from first bite to after taste. Portions were small overall and prices were high. Most of the dishes we had lacked flavor. Compared to all the other fantastic Thai restaurants around, I wouldn't come here again. Our particular server was not mean but she also was not nice. She had a very particular way of doing every bit and it was just an odd experience as a diner. Food overall: 4.5/10 Service: 4.5/10 I'm surprised this place has good reviews on google. Maybe we just went on a bad night but this is what we experienced so it is what it is.
