    Loved my experience Bosque Books! The whole esthetic is lovely even the bathrooms. I love the little coffee, tea area at the front. They have a pretty good selection of books as well. Their selection of board books is thin but other then that they have a large verity of books for older kids. They also sell t-shirts, jewelry, mugs etc. They have a calendar with events book signings, trivia etc! The space was very calming and would love to go back when ready to buy my son more books.

    Such a cute little local store. They have multiple seating areas and a wide variety of books. I also really love that they have a small section dedicated to local writers. Everything that I looked at, including the snacks were decently priced. And the store attendant very kind. If you like Barnes and noble but want to shop local, come here.

    Classic selections.

    Books on the Bosque is a cute little bookstore on the West side inside Riverside Plaza. The bookstore focuses on new books, although there are a few scattered used selections and then an antiquarian books section. They've got treats, coffee, and a seating area for reading or chatting with friends. The day I visited on a Sunday early evening they had a live jazz band playing and there are events through the week. There's a children's section, middle readers, YA, mystery, classics, antiquarian, sci-fi, biography & memoir, new releases, and other sections. I wish there would have been more titles, and specially used selections, as buying a single book for list price can add up very quickly. The bookstore just opened last year, so ideally they'll fill more of the space with further titles as time goes on.

    Today was finally my first time at Books on the Bosque. I love the whole feel of this independent book store. The friendly and awesome woman was very helpful and asked about my interests and I bought two of her recommendations and the third was one I picked but she said it was a great book. I love the assortment of puzzles that they have that are more artistic than the puzzles you would normally see. They have a nice selection of Zia sodas and other beverages. There are also a good selection of book clubs you can join if that is an interest to people. I look forward to returning to this wonderful book store. I already started reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened and actually laughed out loud a few paragraphs in!

    Uptown

    The staff at Barnes & Noble Booksellers was very helpful on November 26, 2025 when I inquired about…read morethe location of a new book. The first young person who helped me directed me upstairs. Perfect. I found one lone copy, but where are the other 39 that she mentioned? I needed 3 copies, 2 as gifts for Christmas and an upcoming birthday. I looked high and low. Nothing. So I approached the older man upstairs. He finally exclaimed, "Ohhhh, the rest of these are being retained for a class, so what I can do is order for pickup for you." I appreciated the kind service, but I had to head back home to the southeastern part of the state soon. It's two stories and quite spacious even with many others shopping. The cafe towards the back was super loud. This is a nice location in what is referred to as Uptown Albuquerque, NM, at the Coronado Center Mall.

    I can't blame the staff we were just there not even a half an hour ago or so. There was only one…read moregentleman at the cash register, one gentleman running the customer service area and one lady running the coffee shop. There were lines of people waiting to be checked out it's 2026 people. Also they were putting up some kind of light or chandelier and the machine that they were going up and down on was grading to the ears and it was happening the whole time I was in the store so I just grabbed a few things and left because it was so piercing and hurting my ears imaginary anybody else in the store. You couldn't put that up before opening or would you open when no one was in there or closed you had to wait till the middle of a Friday afternoon? Do you need more help? I applied 1 million times but apparently I guess you don't need any more people.
