i love this location! always have what i need and the staff are always so friendly! i highly reccomend this location

This is by far one of my favorite places to be in general. The atmosphere for me to either read a book (for either leisure or academic reasons) is always perfect in my opinion. Even with the slight chatter in the background as I study is not a distraction in comparison to if I was in a different setting. The vibe is always unmatched here to me. I get a lot of work accomplished here. There's a wide variety of books and periodicals here as well for all readers (if we didn't know that already lol). I just love this place!! read more

Barnes & Noble - Absolutely wonderful! - Toy Stores Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Very nice location but I'm a bit orated that a man who was continuing coughing and sounded as if he should be in the ER was allowed to sit unmasked in their cafe. Yet I was not offered a bag for my very large book, which I reuse anyhow, and had to ask for one, to the cashiers dismay. Please get your priorities together. read more

Barnes and Noble is one of the best places you can go to not only to purchase a book but also relax with a cup of coffee and a sweet. They have free Wi Fi and you can take a book anywhere in the store to browse it. They have a great customer service section to help you find what you are looking for. If not available they can order it in for you or send it to your home. In addition they sell downloadable books and magazines for their device called NOOK where you can purchase at a fraction of the cost. If you are an avid reader then be sure to check out their website. I have found that some of the same books they carry in the store are available online at a reduced price. They also carry DVDs, music,calendars, and items of local interest. Since they are a chain you can return your purchase to any store if not completely satisfied. The store is laid out well with a special section devoted to children. They do offer a membership program for $25.00 per year which will save you 10% on your purchases and provide free expedited shipping if you order online. The program enables you to send items to your friends and family under your membership. My latest hobby is adult coloring books and I was fortunate to find the sought after "Enchanted Forest" coloring book there on this visit. It is very laid back and makes a great opportunity to unwind when visiting Settler's Ridge. read more

Barnes & Noble - Inside - Toy Stores Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

Incredible selection of books, games, puzzles, and other media. Friendly and knowledgeable employees. Excellent customer service. This is definitely the place to go in the Pittsburgh area for all your reading needs! read more

I have to say that this location made me actually not mind a Barnes and Noble experience. I am used to going to the Waterfront which seems more clustered/messy/unorganized. I had stopped in to see if they had a decent cookbook selection and whoa, I was amazed at how many choices I had and they were easy to navigate around too (as they had them broken up into sections so I did not waste time looking at books that were not healthier eating ones). The staff was friendly here and eager to help. They get an A+! read more

I cannot imagine a greater waste of space in this day and age than the Barnes and Noble store at Settler's Ridge. The store has undergone a stark change since I last visited, before Covid. They no longer sell DVD's which was pretty much the main reason for my visit. When I asked about this the clerk could do no better than to tell me that this store is not a Barnes and Noble Media store. When I asked which local stores were Media stores she could not tell me "off the top of her head." How many stores do they have for Pete's sake? In any case, this store had tons of "junk" left over from Christmas and large open spaces. The shelves were not full and the used little blocks on the shelves to take up space (and apparently to make the shelves seem fuller. The quality of releases that we are subjected to by the nation's publishers is obviously deteriorating rapidly and there are quite a few relatively recent publications being sold there for 50% off as well as the usual top ten in various categories for 20 to 30% off, but most choices were selling at 100% of the publisher's asking price (unless you are a B & N club member) and those prices just aren't competitive. It is heartbreaking to me that this store survived and Border's fell by the wayside. What did Border's do wrong I wonder as I notice this store doing nothing right. BTW, my two stars is in no way intended to equate with the sentiment next to it, "could've been better." My feeling is that they still have the coffee shop, reading areas and tons of books but they could be at least 100% better. read more

This is one of B&N's newest locations in Pittsburgh. You can park on either side of the major parking lots in Settlers Ridge Shopping complex, and it isn't hard to miss. The sales floor is both spacious but compact. There's plenty of seating spaces but at the same time the whole thing feels cozy. Sales staff is friendly and for the most part the clientele present doesn't get in the way of reading on-site. There is a Starbucks slash bakery but it doesn't accept SBUX branded Gold Cards, which is a big bummer. read more

I went in today to buy a book. The manager asked me if I was ready to checkout, and when I said yes, she said the ONE person she had on the floor was busy and asked me to either to go the other end of the store or to Starbucks. I choose Starbucks because it was closer. And watch the manager just meander around the store. After waiting in line at Starbucks (I was the only person there) for almost 10 minutes, and watching the manager have casual conversations with customers, I realized my business wasn't important to them and left. I'll buy the book on Amazon. I'm still wondering why the manager couldn't help me herself. read more

Oh wow, i love this place. As a big fan of Harry Potter I found a lot of books,toys and souvenirs about that. Additionally, a lot of other interesting books and prices are reasonable read more

An ok bookstore, so-called cafe. I just ordered a vomit inducing bbq chicken pizza. After one bite I gave it back...molten strange cheese, soft spongy crust, weird smell. They just took it and said sorry. Yeah, me too. read more

Barnes &Noble is my favorite store. I got the membership for 25.00 , it paid for itself with all the coupons they give you and discounts. It's always clean . And I always find the staff helpful so far so good . read more

Usually my go to for books of any kind, but hasn't been great recently. I called ahead to ask if they price match and was told only from their website. No biggie, I found my book on their site for $5 cheaper. When I went to check out the Starbucks barista said they don't price match, so I asked customer service just in case she may have not been aware of their polices since she is a Starbucks employee. I was told they do not price match. Okay, so who on the phone told me they did? Anyways, I was told I can buy the book online for pick up at the store. Keep in mind I am literally holding the book in my hand. Soooo, after checking out online for pick up, literally handing over the book to customer service, I am told it will be about a half an hour to pick up the book. 30 MINUTES TO GRAB A BOOK OFF OF THE COUNTER I JUST HANDED TO THE EMPLOYEE. What kind of system is this?! Rough time, but at least I got my book lol. read more

A solid Barnes and noble. Great selection of books and vinyls. Their graphic novel section is actually extensive and the kids section is great. In a great location. My only issue, and this is a stretch, but there is no film selection. Criterion a are important B&N. They're very important. read more

They took away the kids lego table. Was a favorite of my children's plus I always purchased something while we were there so you would think it would be a win win situation. But I guess they needed the space to sell more stuff. Corporate greed wins again. read more

Just called and they held my Aarti Party Indian cookbook! I stopped going to B&N in Cranberry. They never have the books I'm looking for including my cookbook. So Settlers Ridge it is, longer hours, bigger store and the books I want, it's great! read more
