Love this Barnes and Nobles in Garland!!…read more They have a pretty darn good selection of magazines, especially crafting, cooking, lifestyle, and women focused titles. The womens book section is also excellent, lots of fiction, self-care, and inspirational reads at reasonable prices. The Starbucks inside B&N is a huge plus. Grabbing a coffee while browsing magazines or purchasing a new book makes the experience relaxing and enjoyable. The store is clean, well organized, and has a comfortable atmosphere that encourages you to stay awhile. Definitely a go-to spot for book lovers and anyone who enjoys a good magazine and coffee break! They do have restrooms here. However, people are real pigs, so the restrooms aren't very clean. Ugh. Love coming to this store! You will too!! January 2026

Great bookstore, easy parking, friendly staff, they have a Starbucks type coffee shop inside the…read morestore with a fantastic menu. The real Starbucks could take and learn a lot from them, never a botched drink, their selection of pastries and food is far superior to the regular Starbucks, no music to get in the way I will go out of my way to have a coffee and relax there than any Starbucks. Bookstore and combination with the coffee shop is just outstanding. Can't go wrong with this place where you want a cup of coffee or a book, or a puzzle yeah the prices are a little high but then again where aren't they today. would have rated them five stores, but it's a big store and there is or was checkout space at both ends of the store but the last couple years they've really only ever staffed the one side so you have to walk all the way to one end of the store to pay and then walk all the way back out the other end if you parked in the main parking lot.

As a book lover this is heaven on Earth. So many books and a plethora of genres. You name it they…read moreprobably have it. I came it looking for books for myself and ended up picking up a few books for the kiddos too. They loved the selection. There are also educational games, puzzles and other material. Not to mention the vinyl selection is chef's kiss. Service is always a pleasure. Now some books can be a bit pricey but definitely worth the splurge. I usually frequent the Mesquite location, but sadly they closed down. 10/10

The atmosphere was welcoming, the people were so kind, and it truly felt like a place you want to stay awhile. It's a great study spot--peaceful, cozy, and inspiring.

Yikes! I brought 7 books in to sell. Current and popular books all in great shape (except the…read morespine on pretty girls). They offered me a whopping $3! I then decided to still take a look around. And it's all VERY old titles. Like stuff you'd see at an estate sale. Not a single book I saw under $9.99. Disorganized as all get out. Only be "genre" not by author. So good luck finding anything you may be looking for. I left and went to a half priced books where they offered me $16 for those same books! This place won't last long

I have been a customer (reluctant one at best) at this location for years…read more Not sure why I continue to come here, probably due to it being convenient. The staff here is condescending, rude and indifferent on most of my visits. I've been told the books I want to sell them are junk/garbage - yet they were purchased there for a lot more than the offer. The latest - ordered two booms that were not in stock locally only because the estimated receive by date was over the weekend. Today (Monday) I received notification my order was ready - drove over an hour to find it was not all there (my fault as I should have read the LATE email closer). The person checking me out questioned if I had paid, said "sounds about right" when I asked about the books not being there over the weekend. When I get notified of the 2nd book arriving I will once again make an hour drive to get it, then I will either go to other noon stores or go to the flagship store in Dallas.

The Wild Detectives had been on my Dallas bucket list for years, so I was quite excited to finally…read moremake my way to the Bishop Arts District and experience it for myself. First of all, the Bishop Arts District itself is incredibly charming. Block after block of unique shops ranging from bookstores and bakeries to candle shops, candy stores, coffee spots, and little boutiques. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood I loveeeee exploring while traveling and if I lived in Dallas, I'd probably frequent this area often. As for The Wild Detectives, the concept alone immediately appealed to me...bookstore meets cafe meets bar meets restaurant. That combination will pretty much always grab my attention. I love to read, I love to eat. The space has a pretty relaxed, community oriented vibe, and during my Saturday morning/early afternoon visit, there were plenty of people working, reading, chatting, and hanging out both inside and on the patio. My one slight disappointment was that the bookstore side itself was smaller than I expected and didn't have quite as extensive a selection as I had imagined. That said, I still managed to leave with a few great additions for my ever growing TBR pile. Overall, this was a worthwhile stop and one I may revisit the next time I'm in Dallas.

I always found a treasure every time I went there. What on earth could replace it? It really felt like the heart of the Bishop Arts walkable shopping area.

The service is great, and they have a pretty good selection considering the store is about the size of a postage stamp. This is not a store where you browse, sit, and relax. You can walk from one side of the store to another in about 2 seconds. But if you're in the area, it has some interesting titles, some interesting tchotchkes/gifts, and great customer service. Stop by if you're in the area.
