Excellent selection of greeting cards including some so gorgeous you could frame them, and they cards for every occasion! I picked up some cool Easter cards for my parents. They also have an adorable selection of stuffed animals including a number of food themed ones; the anthropomorphic croissant was my favorite! There's a large selection of Scout brand bags and some interesting home decor items including dishes and drinking glasses, all mixed in with books. They also sell a number of gift items including fancy soaps and chocolate. Kind of unusual that the store maybe really only half books and half other stuff, but no complaints from me. It was a really fun place to shop and the staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable and they even have a small clearance section which included some discounted Scout merchandise.

How is that possible? The store offers gift wrapping but without a box not sure how that would work...or more importantly...look. If you're selling breakable and valuable gifts, I suggest keeping the item's original box or stocking a proper variety of generic boxes. Would go back but would look elsewhere for a breakable high end gift that has a box.

I wandered around for hours, reading and enjoying some of the artwork in the small gallery while having a few cocktails. Service was okay and the bartenders were kind. The drinks they made were fine and some were very good, but one of the more memorable cocktails was the Manhattan Transfer, which was very strong and pleasant. I also liked The Hive. It was light, citrusy and just simple. My friends and I were surprised that everything was so reasonably priced that we ended up trying all the cocktails on the menu and a few local beers. We ended the night by picking up a few books to take back home :)

First, I love that they have free non perishable goods outside for people to help themselves as they need it. The shop inside is very cute, they have a diverse selection of books inside a cozy space.

Prices were what you can expect from a smaller book store, nothing incredibly expensive and overall a good deal. They also had a pile of books by the door that were completely free, which I thought was a great idea. Definitely a great place to stop by if you're looking for a new read!

We were at the Seekonk, MA store at around 7:00 pm on February 28. We had a pleasant shopping…read moreexperience but didn't find anything that we wanted to buy. Before we were going to leave, we looked for the restroom. When we found it, the entire hallway leading to it was dark and had been blocked off with room dividers and a sign saying out of order. We made a joke about it because it had the look of a closed off area, not just temporarily out of order. We were exiting the store, walking past the checkout area when an associate, a middle aged woman who had the look of being some kind of shift supervisor, basically wanted to start a confrontation with us. As we were walking past, well within proximity for us to hear her, she made a comment to a young associate that seemed to be about us joking about the restroom out of order sign. We turned to clarify what she had said and she repeated that we made some joke about the restrooms being closed. We did not engage with her and left. I went back to the vestibule area to look in to see her name tag, but I couldn't see one. Then we left. I had planned to write to Ollie's corporate but found on their website a rigid format to leave positive remarks but no interest expressed in hearing other feedback. As I tried to find a way to communicate with them, I learned that they have some very unpleasant actions against them, touching on discrimination and other unpleasantness. At that point it seemed that this kind of employee may be just the expression of their management, and I decided not to try to correspond with them. Then I came to Yelp and saw the recent review and comment about the restrooms having been closed since June of 2025. I suspected when this happened that she was particularly sensitive about the restrooms being closed. It appears that Ollie's has developed a very negative culture. I would avoid them in the future.

I will probably go back to buy some calligraphy pens that I saw. I'm just an amazing vibe all around.

I love that there's a place for you to get coffee so that you can sit there and enjoy some coffee while shopping around.

Hello Barnes & Noble Customer Service,…read more I am writing to share a concern regarding a recent in-store purchase. While waiting in line at one of your locations, I heard the cashier tell my party and two other customers, "I'm sorry, we are out of pennies." The cashier then rounded the total down and retained the remaining two cents from our purchase. While I understand that two cents may seem insignificant, customers should not lose money--no matter how small the amount--without consent or compensation. Although there is currently a penny shortage, that does not justify a business retaining customers' money. If this practice occurs regularly, the amounts add up quickly. For example, retaining just $0.02 from 25 customers per day equals $182.50 per year at a single store. Across 721 Barnes & Noble locations, that totals over $131,000 annually. I understand operational challenges, but customers should not bear the cost. Clear policies, transparency, or alternatives--such as rounding in the customer's favor--would be more appropriate. I appreciate your time and hope you will review this practice.
