Customer service at the cafe is probably one of the best I've encountered. Everyone is great, but I want to give a special shout out to Jasmine. Not only is she a ray of sunshine in the mornings, but she completely helped me out when I spilled my drink at my table. She even remade me my drink. Thanks Jasmine!

Friends and I were in the shopping plaza that this Barnes and Noble was in. We stopped in to use…read moretheir bathroom, but also checked out some of their books and offerings. Spent a lot of time at the manga section, and it's very impressive! I haven't really been in a Barnes and Noble since high school, so it was kind of nostalgic to be in one again despite me never being to this specific location, haha. It was cool to see such an expanded manga section, and that they even had more obscure titles and webtoons on offer. For the most part everything was clean and orderly, and fairly quiet too despite all the people. Didn't make a purchase myself, but a friend of mine walked away with two mangas on our visit.

They accept only paperback books (dictionaries, Spanish language, fiction, non fiction) and you can easily drop them off during their business hours.

I was going to go to AAA tomorrow when the office was open to get a map but then wondered if maybe…read moreBarnes and Noble had one? I walked in and went to the international travel section and saw travel books but not maps. On the off chance that they might have them, I went to the customer service desk. April quickly looked it up for me and walked me over to the other side of the same shelf, straight to the laminated map that I was looking for. Thanks, April! And thanks staff person in front who helped me out! I like everything about this Barnes & Noble, especially the people working there, but can management do something about the dingy old bathroom? It's convenient but also needs an upgrade in a major way. Anyway, I'll keep coming here in any case for the aforementioned reasons.

The guy working talked to a couple patrons before they left, but as I was looking around, he didn't bother asking if I needed help finding anything. The staff at the comic book store in Claremont - A Shop Called Quest -are way better at helping, asking if you need anything, and like to talk about comics. Value: 0. Overpriced. I just checked my transaction history, and it was $43.53 out the door. Amazon has it for $19.

I had a really bad experience at Comic Madness. From the moment we walked in, the girl behind the…read morecounter was rude and had zero customer service skills. She acted annoyed that we were even there and kept that attitude the entire time. When we asked about prices, she responded in a really sarcastic and dismissive way. At one point she said "25..." and when we tried to clarify she said "like 25 cents," which just came off as rude and unhelpful instead of answering a simple question. It felt like she was being intentionally difficult. She also told us she was working alone, but there was a guy behind the counter too -- and he was actually nice and polite, which made the whole situation even more confusing. Overall, the experience was uncomfortable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Customer service makes a big difference, and unfortunately this visit was a miss.

You walk in and vinyl, some merch, cassettes, and books are to the right and CDs, DVDs and posters are to to the left. The vinyl selection is very nice. Don't sleep on the books. They are excellent. Do people actually buy cassettes? I don't think I want to meet those people, no oiffense. The CD collection was bigger and better than I expected. They have both new and used CDs. The prices on the used CDs were reasonable. Music will be playing during your visit and it will probably be good music (on vinyl, of course). The store is spotless and the workers were very friendly and helpful. The vibe here is very good. If I lived closer, I would come here a lot and I would buy a lot. Free and easy parking in the lot. If you love music, you have no excuse for not visiting.
