"There is no friend as loyal as a book." -- Ernest Hemingway…read more My visit to Brave Books was so special and truly the highlight of my afternoon! Such a great selection, pricing was reasonable for the value, condition and selections. I purchased two books, with others on my list for my next visit. On the porch area, there is a section for FREE books and when you enter you will see NEW arrivals before you make your way through and see other categories such as banned books, horror, espanol, cooking, and historical. It's super cute, quiet and you'll fall in love with the ambiance. The children's section is great! Also, another cute detail was the small mini refrigerator with a sign that read "Have a FREE beverage on us!" I selected the Berry Vanilla Bubly Sparking water. A special and warm shoutout to the kind staff that was present and smiling wide throughout our whole visit, THANK YOU Dorian.

They host several events throughout the years and had an amazing selection of books both old and new in english and spanish for kids and adults. They offer free drinks and have a lovely cat who lives there. I was surprised to see how little some of the books cost, I felt like we made out like bandits! The owner values community and has some artists sell their stickers and bookmarks here as well. It was time and money very well spent!

It's locally owned and the owner is always there. He is very knowledgeable about the books he has for sale. I love browsing book stores but the ones that are part of a chain generally have the same boring mainstream books. Literarity is clean, well lit and the books are organized by topic. Fiction is sorted by author name so it's easy to find books if you're going to get a specific book or want to check for books by a specific author. I highly recommend this store!

This wonderful treasure has been open for many years, and I hope it continues for many more.

I normally love shopping at Barnes & Noble, but today was honestly a really disappointing…read moreexperience. We went in to purchase a Pokémon release, and even though we're regular customers, we were treated poorly from the moment we asked for help. The staff was rude, unhelpful, and made the whole experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. What made it worse was that it wasn't just us -- other customers waiting in line were clearly frustrated and being treated the same way. The overall atmosphere felt dismissive and unfriendly, which is disappointing because I've always enjoyed coming here. I hope management addresses how customers are being treated because this experience was not okay.

Who goes to a Barnes & Noble on a work trip? I do! I enjoy comparing stores from my home town (CA)…read moreto places I visit. Noting differences, good and the bad, perhaps uniqueness. Let's jump right into this review. Barnes & Noble is located in a shopping center that has plenty of other stores like Marshall's, Burlington, and others. Starbucks on the premises - not able to use the Starbucks app to make a purchase. Pros 1. Location is easily accessible and has plenty of parking. 2. Staff was helpful and friendly. 3. Store is well organized. Clean. 4. "BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK" display was awesome! I have not seen this idea in my hometown but I was intrigued. For all the avid readers out there - this is cool, see photos. Books are wrapped and have clues to the book genre written or drawn on the outside of the wrapping. It's like Christmas everyday for book lovers. 5. Starbucks onsite. Tables and chairs available. Cons 1. I wish you could use the Starbucks app to make purchases at Barnes & Nobles. Unfortunately, I believe all Barnes & Nobles are like this. I enjoyed checking out the El Paso Barnes & Noble.

If you enjoy browsing for books and finding hidden treasures, visit this store. All proceeds go to supporting the libraries in town, the library bus and a bunch of other things that support education in El Paso. The selection is large, and if you can't find something you're looking for, the staff will add your request to a list and call you when that book is available. Support this local used books store and enjoy the atmosphere. And if you have large amounts of books to donate, call them first. They're staffed by volunteers and they could use a bit of a heads up.

Wow, what a gem of a little coffee shop. They sell all sorts of snacks and local goods. There are…read moresome coffee samplers available from Zojurushi coffee machines (TIL those exist???) next to the entrance. The flavors were rich and very representative of the notes they were trying to convey. Fruit notes, chocolate notes, caramel notes.. somehow, they've made a coffee nearly taste like an infusion. Maybe they are, since the cold brew flavors are so unique here. Overall, an unexpected gem of a find in El Paso and one of the best coffee shops I've been to in a while.

Vast and beautiful, the assortment contained tea lovers' items, two different kinds of tea: decaf mango and green tea--a lovely green tea mug with infuser and Happy Birthday Chocolate Bar. I have never visited this location, but seeing how perfectly the gift was wrapped and how neat all the items are, I would say this is a perfect place to get some coffee or tea and pick up beautiful gifts for your loved ones. I am looking forward to visiting soon.
