    When I went there they had 50% off a good amount of books, small but nice little bookstore. Definitely check it out if your around there.

    Small and limited selection. Fine. Lady working there was rude and treated a kid poorly. Spoke to him like he was an imbecile.

    A fan merely for the owner's warm, friendly service and fair prices rivaling Amazon and B&N. A great small biz to support.

    I have visited this Barnes and Noble multiple times when I'm in the neighborhood. Overall, it's a…read moresolid Barnes and Noble with adequate climate control and nice enough employees that will also just leave you alone if you're visiting there to get some work done or just check out some books. They have a good selection of books and prices reflect the suggested market price. There is plenty of parking out front. I have never had an issue finding parking here. There is also a Starbucks in this location with some seating. The only thing I wish they did better is to have more seating. There isn't that much and what is available seems a bit old and worn down.

    I really enjoyed browsing thru B&N just as much as I really enjoy reading "real paper" books. The…read morestore was big, clean & had a very welcoming & friendly staff. In addition, there was also a Coffee Cafe which was great. Coffee & books seem to go together. Note, there was plenty of parking too. We specifically went to check out this store for the kids section, AKA Barnes & Noble Jr. section. There were lots of colorful displays, a stage for StoryTime on Tuesdays @ 10:30AM, Legos, toys, gifts, etc. Plus a ton of different books. Everything is organized in an easy to find way by age & interest. We did end up buying several books. A couple of the books were buy one get one 50% off, prices were reasonable & typical. Check out their website for events such as author signings, Premium Membership & Rewards as well.

The overall vibe here is very positive and uplifting, to say the least. Every time I go into a metaphysical or book store, I just wander around to see if anything calls to me. This time around, I ended up purchasing some Palo Santo. Jenny helped me out at the register and was such a sweetheart. She has such a sweet aura! If you're interested in getting a reading or healing service, call ahead to schedule an appointment. There are plenty of services that are offered, including psychic and Tarot readings, reiki, and iridology (intuitive reading of eyes). Definitely looking forward to coming back!

(Substance abuse groups meet here in a separate room to help their recovery.) This place also have information on an outside bulletin board for seminars outside of the shop that promote healing and wellness. If you are looking for some sort of metaphysical healing in your life, take a moment to stop by and speak to the owners. They are friendly and caring people. Be aware: You can't get to the bookstore off of Hampden if you are heading East.

    I'll give the benefit of the doubt, this just isn't the coffee shop for me…read more I had a long event day in the area, so I decided to beat the traffic and get to this part of town earlier than I normally would. Just wanted a place to work on my computer, and ultimately that's what I got. Enchanted Grounds is a cafe and game emporium. Like for real, they have such a huge selection of games. If you are into that, I truly love that for you! As far as the cafe is concerned, the best part was not paying Denver coffee prices! Only a few bucks for an iced coffee, god bless America. The staff weren't all that friendly or interested in talking to customers. It definitely gives off humble, rainy day coffeehouse vibes and that's not a bad thing. Bright, tacky colored walls, one guy was sleeping in one of the booths, a giant group of 80+ year olds at the big community table, and gamers galore on a Wednesday afternoon. It's low key, wifi was fine, coffee was fine. Nothing stood out for me personally. Considering it's close to an hour away odds of me coming back aren't high. I wish them the best!

    I used to be a huge fan of this place, recomendibg them to anyone on the south side of town. But…read moreunfortunately a recent experience has really soured me on them. For a MtG prerelease with very limited seats, for a set I was very excited for I called early in the week to understand how they handle prerelease events. Per their site, and Per the conversation with their employee, there wer no pre-event sign-ups, and a half an hour before the event they would start registering people. I asked if there was pre-queueing, and was told that happens, so I asked if showing up fifteen minutes early would give a good chance for making the limited seating. What can I say, I was excited. I invited my friends and we were all going to be there early. In total, five of us. Well, as I was pulling up 15 minutes before the event, I found out they had done a sign up, and before they were even supposed to be starting to register folks, they had run out of seats. And the answer to why they did exactly what they had told us they were not going to do? Management decided the night before to change things. I regret having suggested to my friends that we go there for the event. I regret that those friends purchased a draft box at above MSRP from this store in an attempt to save the evening. I regret that they decided to buy beverages there, as our evening had been ruined by Enchanted Grounds' management team. Will I be back? Maybe. Will I trust them on their event descriptions? Nope.

There was so much to look at, from books to herbs, incense and crystals, even wind chimes and clothing. Several ladies asked if I needed help, which was nice. I selected some crystals and completed my purchase. I personally felt a bit strange in the store, so I'm not sure I'll be back. It's definitely worth checking out. It's beautiful inside, and welcoming.

    The vibes in this place is waaaayy off! Honestly do not come here. I'm a woman of color and the…read moremoment I walked in I felt negativity. I was followed around by three different employees constantly asking me if I needed help and staring me down. Even if I look at the situation differently they don't even allow people the space, freedom or even privacy to choose what they need themselves or the chance to ask for help if they need it. Instead they all hound you down like you're in a clothing department store and make you feel uncomfortable. Especially the guy working there with the gray/white hair was orchestrating all of the employees around. Another reviewer mentioned this and yes there is a strong atmosphere of intolerance, paranoia, judgement and deeper under lining issues. I was standing in line behind a gentleman and when it was my turn at the counter, the guy with the gray/white hair told the lady working the counter to leave the counter and told another lady to come check me out which was odd and he had a very nasty look on his face. Then the lady at the counter asked me if I had a membership and I said no, She then says "ok don't worry we are not pushy" and then proceeds to laugh and say "at least I don't think so". They know exactly what they are doing. If a spiritual store is worried about people stealing or whatever then they you are NOT the real deal and it is a reflection of who they are and what they are actually doing. If you are alarmed or uncomfortable by a women of color coming into your shop while your shop is named Goddess/Isis you should NOT be in business! This place is not sacred or safe. Buy your stuff online or go to a place with integrity, a place that has respect and honors spirituality and people, all people. Avoid this place and do not support this business.
