Loved the relaxing environment. A worker recommended a fantastic book, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading while I sat sipping my coffee. It was the perfect way to spend time while waiting for my ride. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. read more

This is the best Barnes and Noble store there is. My daughter and I love to go and just browse and then sit at the cafe and talk and read. Every worker there is so friendly and helpful. As soon as we open the door and smell that familiar lovely smell, it's like coming home. We love it! read more

Some people are like kids in a candy store. My brain feels that way every time I visit Barnes and Noble. I enjoy the selection, the organization, the variety, and the people that you meet in this vast bookstore. Older people and children show their excitement as they pick up their favorite cooking books and fantasy selections. I especially appreciate that they have every genre you can imagine. I tend to gravitate towards non-fiction but occasionally a good author will entice me with their fiction craftsmanship. The staff is always willing to order any books that they don't carry and/or suggest similar books that they do have. Remember, the more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the more you grow. read more

This Barnes & Noble is so relaxing, welcoming and clean. Everything is where it should be and all of the workers are very helpful. We come about once a month to see what new vinyls and CDs they have. read more

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. read more

I was my first time going to this location. I personally really liked it. I will be back. The customer service was great and the cashier was very kind. read more

I like to browse and see what kind of book I am looking for. It's like having your own library. I can read it while having coffee in the place and read a few pages before I buy it. It's worth going there. read more

This is my favorite barnes and noble! I love sitting in the café to get work done or enjoy a book. The staff is friendly and there is a great selection there. read more

I've been coming here for many years. It's a great bookstore and does a good job keeping up with covid protocol.

Nice location. One of my favorite locations. They always have a clearance and it's worth checking out every time. Today I came in and found a couple of books quickly. I'm sure I would've found more if I wasn't in a rush. read more

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 . read more

Very nice bookstore, staff is very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. The bookstore is immense and very well organized.

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ordered a spinach pretzel from the cafe. Bit into it and discovered it was cheddar. Brought it back to the counter and the clerk says, "What, do you want me to refund you for something you already ate?" She takes the cheese one from me and spitefully throws it in the trash before serving the one I actually ordered. What a classless, rude way to conduct bad business. read more

I really love this place: a nice place where I can sit, read, work, eat and drink with WiFi access. Love their Tomato Caprese sandwich. Their pastries and cakes are also good. Staffs are very friendly. read more

Barnes & Noble - The Tomato Caprese Sandwich was delicious. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

This is my favorite bookstore to visit. However in the past 2 years everytime I have spent my money on the coffee here it has been really bad tasting. I really don't understand why the barista would suggest a grande when the drinks were unbearable for me and my friends to consume. read more

I love this bookstore. The prices of their books and magazines/craft kits are very reasonable. They always have the latest novel. The big sofa chairs will put you in the mood to read a cozy mystery on a rainy or snowy day with a cup of tea. The cafe is the best! Cafe Manager & workers go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy with their order. I come here to study for Uni all the time. Best place to set up your MacBook with a delicious latte from the cafe and work. Also, B&N has every magazine you can think of. Nice friendly people ... safe and cozy place. read more

I love this Barnes & Noble. The staff here are super cool and helpful (and really know their books!). They have a great selection all around (books, magazines, games, etc.) and I rarely can't find something. I wish they could price match the online B&N prices but that's not their fault. Cool place to hang with fellow book lovers and enjoy some quiet time. read more

Good selection. Clean. Friendly staff. Their John Saul section was alarmingly small (2 books) but then again they're going out of business right. They had a great selection for dean koontz which made me happy. read more

Decent Barnes & Noble....but the free wifi is so slow I could not even connect most pages on the Internet, or was sooooo slow it took over 1 full hour to upload a 10 sec video. Did a diagnostic of the wifi strength and speed, see picture I will add read more

Barnes & Noble - The crapy wifi you can expect here...All websites would only partly load and error out due to crazy slow wifi. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Starbucks - the 2 ladies at this location at 540pm were so rude. Everything was difficult and a hassle. I stood there ignored til I asked for help. I asked for a Coffee and Quiche - simple. My name on the cup was an issue even though I said to spell it however. The Coffee needed to be brewed so I decided to just have Quiche. This turned into having the menu explained to me complete with brewing techniques of espresso and definitions. I decided to scrap the whole order, it just wasn't worth the hassle. I sat to read in the crowded dining area where the 2 employees publicly shamed me for cancelling my order. They called me rude, went on about my attitude, I should have compassion, they don't want to deal with people like me, etc... I was shamed in front of a crowd because I wanted a no hassle drink and bite? I was so embarrassed I left. read more

it's a good bookstore with a good Starbucks. What kept this review from being 4 or 5 stars was the consistently disgusting state of the men's bathroom. If there was an award for "Most Urine on a Bathroom Floor", this store would dominate the competition. Have you ever stepped on a sticky movie theater floor because it was covered in dried soda? Just like that, but it's not soda. While peeling your shoes from the floor, you have to avoid a half dozen or so, balls of toilet paper tumbleweed blowing all over the floor like some sick restroom version of the Wild West. After all of that, you can't even wash your hands without getting soaked by gallons of water that rests on the counter around the sink at all times. Aside from that, it's a great place. read more

It's nice that there is still a local bookstore where I can sit in a chair and read, so I hope amazon does not put these brick-and-mortar places out of business. They have an excellent magazine section and a coffee shop as well. The shopping plaza is quite crowded so use caution driving in and out of here. read more

90% of the time there isn't a single chair free at this Barnes and nobles! It's extremely popular and for well reason. I just wish there were more tables/chairs. read more

Very strict return policy!! I just wanted to exchange a Thomas train that I bought my grandson! For $12.99, a superior had to come up! I was over the 14 days-but because I'm a member, they allow 30I had the receipt, the unopened package. All I wanted was to be able to exchange it! I think they ought to be a little more accommodating if they want us to shop there-versus having books, etc shipped free to our door from Amazon. read more

I love this place. I get to sit in peace at Starbucks doing my work and such, plus their book selection is big. Most of their stuff is over priced, though. I can find their stuff half priced online. The employees at Starbucks are so nice. (= read more

I love this store! The staff is friendly without being pushy. They carry cd's, movies, toys, games and other gifts in addition to books. They have a wide selection of magazines including music mags from the UK that I didn't realize were available in the US. The cafe atmosphere is quiet and unpretentious, unstuffy place to read a book and enjoy a coffee. read more

Is this a bookstore, or A toy store, or a cafe.? I brought my kids hoping to encourage reading, but all they were interested in were the toys all over the place, and cake at the cafe. The selection of titles is limited, so I can see why Amazon is taking over. But with kids I think they need to learn the excitement of books. Guess I'll take the to the library. read more

I was glad to find a Barnes and Noble around here, where I could go and get some studying done and grab a coffee. This location is very nice and quiet, with lots of parking. I just wish there were more power outlets in the cafe. While there is sufficient seating in the cafe, the only power outlets are along the wall opposite where all the tables are. Other than that, I enjoyed my afternoon here! read more

a newish b&n in the area.. bigger than the one that used to be down rt 1, and this one is closer to 95, closer to the post mall. a lot more books and magazines and usually pretty well organized - last time i was there it seemed they had fewer books than i remembered though, like someone took every other shelf out of the place. starbucks in here, couches & chairs, lots of people sitting around reading and not buying books. read more

Regular B&N. has a great selection, and is generally very organized. It's easy to find an employee if you need help, and the baristas at the Starbucks are always friendly. read more

Barnes and Noble used to be a staple of my childhood. Sipping a nice latte while browsing books, movies, and CDs. Those days are long gone. Yes, you can still buy a tasty latte here, but that warmth and coziness is a thing of the past. Now, in an effort to stay afloat, Barnes has become a toy store with a diminishing book selection. This wouldn't be such a bad thing, except that Barnes still hasn't been able to adjust their business model to stay current with the times and their obvious competition. Maybe if they learn to price-match they will survive in this tough market. Otherwise, their days are numbered! read more

My favorite place. True Crime section is in desperate need of help but I enjoy the occasional book and Starbucks.

If I can rate negative 100 I would. This is the worst store I've ever been in. The customer service is terrible and I was told they are trained for "Customer Service". The old lady in particular has the most terrible attitude I've ever encountered in my life. I had a book preordered and ordered the wrong type and I have no choice but to buy it because if I preordered the right book, it will not arrive before the holiday. read more

As for their so called Starbucks that is located inside the store, awful!! The hot coffee was cold, their cold coffee was tasteless, they burned my sons veggie wrap. I will definitely not go back again! read more

Your typical B&N, but does not have enough customer service people. Need manpower!!!

The reason why we're giving it one star is customer service. The Starbucks is nice, and there is a nice selection of books, but on numerous occasions I have noticed many people sitting around and not buying. I'm almost positive this is due to the fact that on numerous occasions upon entering this store the line for books is extremely long and there are never more than two people on the register. Worse than that, the people on the register don't seem to know what they're doing. When the cashier says "Oh, please, help me," it's not a good sign. Reminds me of Mrs. Wiggins from the Carol Burnett Show. The cashier next to her was slow, slow, slow, overcharged us $50 for our books, didn't apologize, and when his manager came to help, he informed us that it would be almost impossible to get our money back. We asked him to simply void the transaction, and he wouldn't. He kept pushing a gift card, and basically said that if we didn't take the gift card, our money would be held up for weeks. Managers from other Barnes and Nobles thought this was ludicrous, and didn't understand why he responded this way. Do yourself a favor, and STAY AWAY. read more
