Close to the lake and the ice shop (open during the summer), and Ignite Nutrition. Quiet and clean, cozy feels when entering. Plentiful of books or you can come sit and do some work in the few of chairs they have available. Excited to see where this business goes, and a coffee shop inside would be AMAZING (future idea!?), along with some light music. So happy I decided to stop by here!

I like Barnes & Noble. I can easily spend hours at one. This one at Apache Mall, in Rochester, has…read moremy heart. I was here on a Wednesday evening. I stayed past 7 pm, which is when the mall closes daily. However, this bookstore closes daily at 8 pm. Awesome! This B&N is at the food court. You can enter the store without going through the mall. I had just finished eating dinner at the food court, so I took the mall entrance. The selection of reduced books and other items is this store's strength. I picked up a Sip by S'well bottle for $10, which is unheard of. One of their bottles that keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for many hours normally goes for $20, at least. I needed one to fill up at the airport and loved the marble design that I got. I gravitated towards the Pusheen section. The plushies were adorable. I had some willpower and did not get any. There are a lot of plushies at this store, from BT21, to Harry Potter. I loved seeing them all. My favourite discovery was the music section. You can still listen to CDs here. I haven't seen that setup in a decade. I loved looking at the records (vinyl) and turntables. I was so happy. This store is huge. It has a full cafe with seating. I enjoyed my time browsing. I had to figure out where to pay. The payment area by the mall was unstaffed. There was an information desk smack in the middle of the store. Nearby was the second payment area. I had the nicest woman at the checkout. She found my name in the system after she got my phone number. If you sign up for a B&N membership, you get 15% off everything. I tend to shop here often that this membership has paid for itself and more. She placed my water bottle in a plastic bag and wished me a nice evening. I reciprocated and left the store, heading to my car through the mall. I love this store in my old stomping ground. I will definitely return and maybe stay a bit longer than an hour next time. (35)

I started going there as a child in the late 1980s. The owner is a friendly, knowledgable guy who is there most of the time and the other staff are helpful, too.

What a collection!!!

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a gentleman (I wish I'd gotten his name!) who immediately made us feel welcome. He was friendly, clearly passionate about books, and incredibly knowledgeable. He asked if it was our first time visiting, and when we said yes, he surprised us with an amazing gesture....a free book, each, tailored to our favorite genres. We were blown away by the generosity and thoughtfulness. The store itself is a treasure. Books galore, neatly organized by genre, and the place is not super larger, but makes you just want to look at it all. They also have a great selection of puzzles throughout. It's obvious that this place is loved -- both by the people who work there and those who visit. I purchased one book and I felt the price was reasonable. I can't wait to come back to Red Wing and when I do, I think another stop at this charming bookstore is on the list. Highly recommend to any fellow book lovers!

In the winter, with their leaves gone, it looks like a place you might buy an evil potion from a witch. Fortunately the interior is a much more pleasant experience. They have more books than shelf space. The vast majority are paperbacks, but they do have some hardcovers too. Almost everything I noticed was in extremely good condition. Prices aren't marked on the books. They are based on percentage of the brand new price and possibly factor in condition.I paid under $4 for a paperback biography in pristine condition. I believe they take your books for store credit too. This store was a pleasant surprise and I will be back.

If I wanted to pay FULL PRICE for a book I would have gone to Barnes and Noble not a USED book store!! Don't take your used books there and NEVER EVER buy books from this store, you will get RIPPED OFF!! Even when you have store credit. Another thing, the store was DISGUSTING!! The floors look like they've never been vacuumed, about an inch of dust on the shelves and spider webs all over. They had a candy dish by the register and there were bees INSIDE the candies. EWE!! Needless to say I had to go home, wash my hands and change my clothes because I just felt gross.
