Upon check-out the clerk (her name was Paige), asked me if I wanted to customize the trays. Whaaatt? Yes please! I appreciate Paige suggesting this as I had no idea this was offered. Not only do the trays look awesome, but how wonderful that Paige offered to do this, even though it was 5-minutes to closing. To the owner of the store, Paige and the other person working stayed an additional 15-'minutes, and did it with a smile on their faces. Im coming back this week to customize more items for the children in my family. This is going to make Christmas gifts easy and special. Very good pricing for slime $15.99 and many squish-mellows half off.

The products were great and met my expectations, which is the only reason this review isn't lower…read more Unfortunately, the customer service was incredibly rude and unprofessional. What was most disappointing was witnessing behavior from the service desk that appeared discriminatory and inappropriate. Staff members were criticizing two older women who appeared to be a couple and then seemed to have security guards keep an eye on them for no apparent reason. Watching customers be treated that way was uncomfortable and unacceptable. Good products can only go so far when the customer experience is this poor. I hope management addresses the behavior of their staff and creates a more respectful environment for everyone.

Walked it, greeted quickly. I noticed that the people who work here are incredibly friendly. I also noticed that the building was clean and I mean CLEAN CLEAN. Everything was organized and stocked. Well, stocked until I came to the blind bags/box area. There were these cute BTS blind bags box. Unfortunately it was empty. I settled for a cute Jurassic World blind bag and a One Piece blind bag. Cost me less than $13 dollars! Successfully trip! 5/5

I like this comics bookstore. My son goes here a lot ( every week!) and I love to go there during…read morefree comics book day!! Today is such a day. Besides the free comic book, the owner has booked a Smash Bros truck, a smashed burgers truck. We tried it, and the burgers were good!! A bit pricey ( 1$ extra for one slice of tomato and 1$ extra for some shredded lettuce ) but they were good! And somebody was selling coffee too. We sat in the car to enjoy our lunch, then went back to the store for more bargains. The bookstore has some outside vendors too. I bought a drawn book for my granddaughter, and they were some lovely bookmarks too. I bought some 3D printed Pokemon toys last year, but I was disappointed that vendor didn't come back. The store shares parking with other stores in the com

My local comic / games shop that I have a pull list with. The staff here have always been…read morefriendly, helpful, they have a comic section with books from the last year or so on the right side of the store which includes titles from Marvel, DC, Image, Dynamite, and a few titles from independents. I have not seen many back issues with the exception of wall comics. They have a pretty large area of clearance $1 comics on the left side of the store which seem to be 2-3 years old books. I like that these $1 boxes are on tables and my back appreciates that they are easy to sort through. They also have an inventory of collected editions which includes trade paperbacks, hardcovers, omnibus, and compendiums. The owner Kerry has tried to help me find some obscure current comic books a couple times which I appreciate. The staff have all been helpful and easy to work with. I believe they do a significant amount of business in trading card/game card these days, but still have a respectable comic offering.

I've lived in Pleasanton for over 20 years and can't believe I hadn't reviewed Towne Center books…read moreyet! What a gift this establishment is to our community!! Whether you like to read or are looking for the perfect gift, this shop is an absolute treat in every way. The people who work here are so knowledgeable about books and scan always recommend the perfect novel or nonfiction based on a description of your preferences. It reminds me of the days when there were neighborhood video rental shops before Blockbuster and Netflix. You could walk in and describe what you were in the mood for, and they would find you the perfect film. Towne Center is this for books!! And they gift wrap for free!!! Why go anywhere else!?! Support our community and patronize this wonderful shop.

When we're visiting Pleasanton, Towne Center Books is a must-visit. The selection isn't the…read morebiggest, but the layout and the staff make the visit always worthwhile. There's a center display right inside the front door with staff selections and new books. What they don't have in volume, they make up with a curated selection, and nice little tags with book descriptions. Bob was an older gentleman who worked here until he recently passed. He also sometimes worked in the Livermore store. Like many men, I got a lot of books here based on his recommendations for history. After chatting with me just a couple times, he recognized me when I came in the store, and steered me towards something I could not resist. I'll miss him very much. Thank you to the store for the great display.

I feel like you can easily spend a lot of time here just browsing all the different areas. I definitely got lost a couple times but figured out my way after a while lol Barnes & Noble is so much more than a bookstore, should definitely visit if you have some time to kill or just want to walk around and be amazed by the inventory lol

Review #1,003 Posted on 2.26.26…read more We come here anytime we come to this shopping center in Dublin. Most recently we came on Valentine's Day in between dinner & our movie. In what honestly feels like the only Barnes n Noble left in the Bay Area, this place stays packed, every time I've gone in here it's busy. They've got a huge selection of books & mags obviously, other products to buy as well. That can range from Lego sets you don't see in the stores, puzzles, kids toys, other book related novelty items They've also got a coffee shop on the right that's always got people sitting and eating/drinking at, a nice feature for when you come in you can grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat too. That's where most people who want to chill and read go to. They've also got a super knowledgeable staff here too, which for my money is always really helpful.

Who likes to play?…read more As an advocate for purposeful play I enjoy the FREE Lego events. You can go and build a free themed Lego build. On 6/11, the build was a duck. I usually prefer to pick up a few and as long as I do one build they are happy to give me one for the little ones. The main staff, Patrick who was leading the event did a great job cracking jokes and interacting with everyone. Check their website for future event dates and times.

I initially had low hopes coming into this store looking for specific loose pieces my child wanted…read morebecause we were unsuccessful in 3 other stores. So, my child ended up getting something different. At a whim, I decided to ask Cole, the team member that assisted us at checkout, even though it was already a long shot for me. To my surprise, Cole knew what I was asking about and said he recollected there may be some left and checked the drawers but wasn't able to find any. He then asked if I wanted him to check the back room but he had already gone the extra mile just by checking the drawers for me so I declined. However, he insisted that it would only take 10 seconds and I said why not - so as long as I wasn't hindering him from anything. Sure enough, it was less than 10 seconds and he came out with them!! I WAS SO HAPPY but not as happy as my child! So, because of Cole, we left extremely happy and satisfied. It wasn't the fact that they had the item, but I felt Cole went above and beyond to actually TRY to ensure customer satisfaction and didn't give a dismissive attitude or answer. Even if hypothetically, he recalled incorrectly and there wasn't anymore in stock, I still would have been satisfied because of the effort he put into checking multiple places to see if they had it. Genuinely, it was my first time being helped in that manner in any retailer, so it gave me hope that customer service compassion isn't dead or something of the long past. So, I don't know if anyone has had a similar experience like me, but I'm very glad to have had such an impactful experience here by this particular team member and I'll be sure to check here first for all of my children's needs!
