    Really have a grand time when I'm here…read more Love going to their in-store café. They have many, many tasty snacks [savory and sweet] and coffee drinks. The scenery and atmosphere in the café are very calm and soothing. Excellent lighting too, making for a great reading area. And now the rest of the store. The selection of books and magazines is impressive at this store. I love going down the aisles, taking books off the shelves and sampling them a little before making a decision. There are chairs out in case you want to sit and read for a while. It's wonderful that Barnes & Noble is still around, because I just love book stores. In our digital age, they sadly are practically becoming extinct. On to service, I have yet to have a bad experience with employees at this location. For value I'd say the prices aren't bad. They often have sales going on.

    I left a previous poor review my first time going here because of the poor service and the constant…read morefollowing of employees under suspicion of theft. Since then, any time I go in it's only gotten worse. The only nice staff I encountered was those are the cafe. But my small group and I were very obviously followed, watched, and stared at when we went in today. The staff at the register, and older man, was also extremely rude and flat, clearly thinking we were getting away with stealing or something and was mad at us. Listen, I work retail. I get when people steal, it's frustrating. But profiling young adults and just obnoxiously following and watching them to the point they feel uncomfortable and don't want to come back is uncalled for. We were not stealing. We actually made decent purchases each. Do better. Treat your customers with respect. Not everyone is stealing, stop treating us like we are. This was certainly my worst and last time coming to this store. I'd rather make the hour trip north to Redding then come back to our local store.

    I will never again do business with Bat Comics. The website projects the image of a friendly,…read morehelpful local neighborhood store with many resources for local collectors so I went in today seeking advice on what details to include in a database inventory of my large but poorly characterized comic collection. I explained this to the friendly clerk, who then brought out the owner to speak with me. Unfortunately, he turned out to be the rudest, most disrespectful and dismissive person I've ever encountered at a store. He launched into an angry loud diatribe against me, apparently thinking i was trying to sell him comics, which was never my intent. Without ever trying to find out why I'd come in, he vented angrily, then turned his back on me and walked away. I've never felt more disrespected and misunderstood in any local business. Such a person really should find a different line of work.

    This short angry little man, yelled at me ! I brought in some comics to see if I could sell them. I…read morepulled out a pristine Mega Man issue 1. It sells for a good price on ebay @ a price of normally 210. With a CGC. Mine doesn't have it but definitely a 9.5. This man said I can't even sell that for a dollar glanced at it didn't touch it pull it out of the cover. I kind of chuckled and said "Really! Thats crazy cause its selling for 210 online"! He screamed "Great! Then go sell it online"! Cause he through his arm as he was speaking! Like wow! I will never shop here i have in the past but I never will again! An i highly recommend not going here! I called up Collectors Ink who although couldn't help in a sale were NICE an jovial! Explained they are a family ran and are having health issues come back in a month! Like thank you for being a decent human being, I believe her name was Beverly!

    Was in Chico recently and checked out the Made in Chico store for some souvenirs to bring back…read more This was unlike any other [Your favorite city] Store. This place was huge compared to the other stores in downtown. It was filled with locally-made items and food from the area and county. There were so many unique gifts and items here. We spent over an hour in the store browsing! My friend and I spent over 5 minutes talking to Patty in the food section listening to her talk about each vendor she personally worked with and knew. You could hear the passion in her voice when describing each item. The scones mix, she explained, took the chef over a year to perfect, the hot sauces, she knew every little detail. She was so knowledgeable and welcoming. In fact, all the employees we interacted with were so helpful. I've had Lundberg organic brown rice many times as they used to carry it at my Costco but I had no idea they made rice chips. One of the other employees said she went to high school with the Lundberg's kids! There were so many things I wanted to bring back home but couldn't. It will just warrant another trip up to Chico in the near future! Thank you to the staff here for making us feel so welcome on our first visit ever to Chico!

    Purchased the Chico Streets poster from here and had it framed. The ladies in the store were so…read morehelpful with tips on where to buy frames for some of the odd sized posters. Cutest gift items for anyone who has visited Chico, friends, family, students, alumni, etc.
