    matcha n sandwich

    Everything's super organized and easy to navigate through! The cafe seating area was by a window which allowed a nice view outside and the matcha was amazing. Perfect place to study!

    Cookbooks galore!

    This B&N store is huge! I've never been to one that has 2 levels with escalators. I would have given it 5 stars if it had more seating throughout the store. All I saw was a tiny area near the Starbucks café. I entered through the back near Red Robin. It was great browsing through the DVD, CD, and vinyl collections. I think I spent most of my time in that section. I was curious to see what was on the second floor. They had lots of children's books and the biggest collection of cookbooks that I've seen in one place. They have huge sections of magazines, greeting cards, and gifts as well. I'd go back just for the cookbooks and DVDs. The café had many baked goods that looked wonderful. More than any other Starbucks that I've been to in the past. They had this peanut butter cup cookie that I wanted to purchase, but the line was long and it was time to meet up with my friends for lunch. However, it was great to see a B&N thriving. Sometimes it's just nice to physically thumb through a book before buying it versus online browsing. This bookstore was a cool find. I know it has been a part of the Shops at Wiregrass for a very long time, but it felt newish to me. I guess they are keeping it up very well. They just need to add more seating for those who want to read a few pages before making a purchase.

    Great selection here! Good Starbucks too! I needed help finding books a few times here and there staff was very kind and gave good advice too! This is one of my favorite stores in the area!

    A very friendly location for the local book worm to read, relax, and rejuvenate. This Barnes and Nobles supplies an abundant selection of favorites, with a Starbucks cafe providing any snacks you may need while shopping. If only this location had more seating options as well as charging stations, this cafe/bookstore would not only invigorate your curiosity, but make for a cozy space to enjoy.

    Nice and clean environment !! Was able to get some work done. Wish there was more seating and charging stations though. Starbucks was clutch!

    Looking forward to reading this

    I am heading out soon for a road trip and needed a new book. I love shopping for books where I can touch them and see if I will enjoy them as I like to look for new authors to try. When entering Barnes and Noble, there are signs to where masks and hand sanitizer available. As you walk around the store, there are table for you to place the items you touch that you do not wish to purchase and signs reminding customers to social distance 6 feet. I love the fantasy section as I have always been obsessed for witches, wolves, and vampires. Today, I grabbed the Patrica Briggs Alpha and Omega series on werewolves. I usually read Paula Brackston series on witches. Briggs books sounded interesting and Barnes and Noble had a nice selection of her different series she has written. Of course the books I did not want, were placed on the quarantine table. At checkout, they are providing opportunities for social distancing. The staff was pleasant who I came into contact with.

    I love coming to Barnes and Noble and just relaxing. I usually grab a drink from the Starbucks located inside the store and find a spot to chill. It's usually super busy on Friday nights, but otherwise it's nice. And I love shopping in the bargain priced sections for cool new books or sudoku puzzle books. The employees are pretty helpful when you need assistance finding something specific.

    I really like the staff here. Everyone is so knowledgeable about the different books and magazines…read more I recently needed a cookbook and I couldn't find it on the shelf. So they told me where to look and assured me they had two copies. I just found it and he came over to check that I did. I love the selection this store offers and I love to browse. I especially like looking at the magazines. You never know when magazines won't be available anymore. I am part of the millionaires club, so I save a few bucks here and there. It pays for itself. They also give you coupons when you sign up every year. I really like this location.

    FAM TRIP TO BAM!!!…read more We went for their 50% holiday sale, there were maybe 20 books that we found in a very small section and we did not find any of them of interest. Walked around store was clean, but we did find certain authors in multiple areas, but the books were the same. After looking around for a while we could not find any of the books that we were looking for, even if they were not on sale. We asked a BAM employee about a certain book and they sent us to the back of the store to find the same books from the same author, not the one we were looking for. Went back to the front and asked if they could look it up in the system and they did not have it. The clerk was very nice and customer friendly, hence the 3 stars for the interaction we had with her. After looking the books up online to compare with the price if we ordered through BAM, we found it to be cheaper to purchase them online. We love going to the book store, but it seems to be getting harder and harder to find books at a lower or comparative price to online pricing and availability. We will still be going back, but maybe not so much as we have in the past just based on pricing.

    Oxford Exchange - French toast

    The building is beautiful; you pass thru an unusual (in a good way) bookstore, candle pour bar,…read morecoffee bar, tea bar, a gift shop with very unique items, & then into the restaurant. Paintings adorn the walls inside, but you can also dine in the "outside patio" with a glass ceiling overhead & lots of plants around. Our server, Cami, was pleasant & gave us time to peruse the menu. The option of breakfast served all day was a surprise. We decided to try three appetizers: the whipped feta, buttermilk fried chicken & fried Brussel sprouts. A glass of sangria & iced tea for beverages. Everything was delicious & exceeded our expectations. Cami checked on us regularly asking if we'd like to order anything else. Would definitely put the Oxford Exchange at the top of our restaurant list when going across the bridge to Tampa. Already thinking about the French toast for the next visit.

    One of my favorite spots in Tampa! It has everything I love all in one. It's a restaurant,…read morebookstore, store, and coffee shop. This is quite popular place especially on the weekends. I made a reservation and glad I did because the walk up list had a bit of a wait. There is street parking as well as paid parking in the lot across the street. When you first walk in you get the bookstore area. They do a bunch of events here as well. The candle making area is also a bar and is directing across from the bookstore. It's worth it check out the bathrooms. It's quite large and very nice in there. Next, is the open and airy space where the coffee and tea shop is. This area is a walk up counter and you don't need a reservation to stop in. The day I went it was quite full. I will add there is an upstairs to this location with a relatively new recording studio and coworking space. Next, is the store where there's a bunch that of hidden gems. The champagne bar is over here as well. My group went for brunch the day we went. I got the avocado toast and the brussel sprouts. As a fan of both, it didn't disappoint. And both were huge and fresh. The table split the ricotta and honey cheese and naan bread. The lemon blueberry pancakes were also a hit. I'm not a big fan on of cake in general but I heard the yellow cake was great. It was the perfect mixture of light and dense and the chocolate icing was to die for. It was the perfect compliment to the cake. There's so much to do here you could easily spend a good couple hours here. It's also a great spot to stop on your way to other fun activities in the area. I highly recommend getting reservations! I can't wait to go back and try some new stuff!
