There was a time when visiting a mall meant certain stores acted like foundations that other stores…read morewould pop up around. East Meets West is one such store. Whether it's this mall or Woodbridge, "East Meets West" is a fun store to visit. I generally go here to get incense but they have so much more than that. Their other offerings include various Hamsas you can hang up, crystals, rocks, sage kits, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, dream catchers and more. It doesn't matter if you believe in the various spiritual beliefs represented by this store, some of this stuff is just pretty decor. The store is basically a rectangle with shelves and islands in the middle. The cashier is off to the right in the middle. The cashier I dealt with was super friendly and I saw her helping the customer before me with a great deal of patience. This store used to be on the first floor, but they moved up to the second floor and as part of that move they upgraded the decor a bit. There's a fun neon sign at the entrance and a gigantic dream catcher hangs in one window with other items. Before you even walk in the store front seems to promise a unique store experience in a mall mostly dominated by department stores and clothing shops. I wound up getting some "short" incense that were nicely priced (20 for $5 I believe). I also bought a sticker for $2. "East Meets West" is a classic part of the mall experience and I definitely recommend dropping by!

I always love going to this store. I wish I could buy most of the items there speak to my soul. The…read morestaff there are always helpful, spiritual, and it's a good time. Yesterday the staff let me take her pic and said I could get a discount for posting a review.

East Meets West is a mall staple and I always enjoy visiting its locations. If you ever need a…read morevariety of Sage kits, incense, a Hamsa (or five) and maybe a bag with the "Evil Eye" on it then this is the place for you! Whether you are a true practitioner of mystical arts or just someone looking for unusual decor, this shop has something to offer you. Much like its counterpart in Menlo Park Mall, this location has a bright store front with a Dream Catcher hanging in one window. The interior is choc full of everything from small decorative items to jewelry to stones to incense and so so much more. You can keep yourself busy for quite some time browsing this store and feasting your eyes on the unusual items inside. I grew up going to stores like this in my teen years in NYC's West Village so it is a bit of a nostalgia trip to visit this place. On my most recent visit I picked up some incense. They have "shorties" which are small versions of their usual incense, about half the size (maybe a bit smaller). They are nice and cheap, costing 20 for $3 (if I recall correctly). They have small bags you can write on so you can keep track of which scent is in which bag. The cashier was very nice. I accidentally knocked a bag off its peg and she was very kind about putting it back. This is one of my "must visit" stops in the mall and I'm very happy to see them still open in Woodbridge!

I love this company, but the "help" i received yesterday was absolutely horrible. Items not priced…read moreand they tried to refuse the sale because they didn't know a price. Last time I will be visiting this location. Go to Menlo, much better.

Nice Barnes and Noble; I am happy that people read books and magazines in this digital age. There…read moreis nothing like holding a book or magazine and reading it. I like this Barnes & Noble; it's probably the biggest one I know, very clean and organized. And you can find almost any book that you can think of; they have vast magazine racks. I sometimes see people sitting there, like a library. I would return again soon. And prices are just average; they are decent.

The only time I see B&N bustling is around the holiday season. 'They' say that people don't read…read morebooks anymore. I don't think it's entirely true; however, I suppose some readers might agree that B&N has gone out of style over the years. For instance, in the Edison location B&N still features a huge area entirely devoted to DVDs and CDs - forms of media which increasingly become irrelevant to consumers with each passing year. The advent of technological development has overtaken the usefulness of paper books. Even the professors from my graduate school program studies (circa 2020-2022) elected to use digital textbooks for 85% of the curriculum coursework. Perhaps brick and mortar B&N stores ought to inject a new retail experience into their business model that involves the offline-to-online and online-to-offline offerings (i.e. digital kiosks in stores)
