I also really believe in supporting small businesses, local economy and diversity. However, I keep going back after being disappointed, and it doesn't get any better. The latest issue is that I had a $5 birthday coupon (which is only mediocre considering my average drink costs over $8, but OK, I know it's not Biggby). I got there the day after my birthday, which also happens to be smack in the middle of the holidays (between Xmas, Kwaanzaa and New Years Day) and was told it was NO GOOD. Unlike literally every other birthday offer that I get from this rewards program that restaurants use, it is not good for the month of your birthday, or even the week of your birthday, or even the day before and day after your birthday, but for ONE DAY only. On top of them not having one single vegan food item and also not allowing folx to post community announcements, this was the last straw for me. I will not return.

I'm looking forward to going back and getting a chai or trying their food. There are tons of great books to choose from (I discovered a couple of new authors I hadn't seen at other shops around town) and they have some board games you can sit and play with friends while you hang out there! We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was hopping. Employees were friendly and cheerful and managed to let everyone take their time ordering while still working through the line quickly. We'll definitely be back for future date days or hangouts with friends!

Again, just milk with a slight hint of the syrup. I always like to try seasonal drinks but now that I'm old, I think I'm just gonna get regular coffee in the future. I couldn't tell you what the coffee tasted like at all. Service was fine, I read a lot of negative reviews but my barista was very nice and friendly. It definitely looked like a great place to relax at, there were quite a few tables and they were all filled. We did not get any of the baked goods; it all looked appetizing though. Next time I'm here, I'll get a cold brew.

The space is large with plenty of seating, and they have a wonderful food menu with bagel sandwiches and delicious potatoes. The employee taking our order was patient and polite. I got the Parkside sandwich (bacon, egg, pesto, cheese), and Nate got a Thanksgiving sandwich special. I also got an oat milk latte. They have a pastry case full of pastries and doughnuts so I'd love to try those next time. It was nice to sit and enjoy our breakfast and I loved the latte - it was one of the best I've had recently, very creamy and smooth. The parkside bagel was quite greasy, but the flavors were so savory and yummy. I loved the pesto and it had a ton of crispy bacon. I saved half for later and it was still good heated up the next day. We got a side of the curry potatoes with some bang bang sauce to dip - these were so good! Crispy on the outside and soft inside, with lots of great curry flavor. They were pretty salty but I really loved them. This is an inclusive and welcoming space and I hope they continue to do well!

This Barnes & Noble location offers many things under its roof Including a large floorspace with a massive selection of Books that can be incredibly overwhelming. They have a Starbucks cafe located inside the Store also which I go straight to once I'm inside which I order a iced mocha latte shake (gotta try it out)!! I usually walk around browsing there Books while sipping on my shake they do have tables an chairs if you prefer looking to order a slice of cheesecake. Being able to sit an eat in the stores cafe allows you to read a few pages outta your Book you got with you as well. The Customer Service is great here they always got folks working that know there Books they know exactly where to look for a title fast if asked which is Helpful. This B&N is as well connected to the Lansing Mall which is very convenient for shoppers an wanting to checkout another store or grab a bite to eat without having to leave an drive to another location. Like for example if its a rainy day or theres a snowstorm during the Winter you won't have to go outside nor drive to the next store. I highly recommend this Barnes & Noble Store to everyone living locally or that are just passing thru on the nearby Interstate.
