And the best part- Elvira the dog who is the welcoming committee at the store. She is absolutely adorable and loves books too! The owners were also there, and they are very kind welcoming people. This is a must see in Spokane- if you love books, classics, collectibles, and rare finds, this is the bookstore for you. We can't wait to go back! Tri-Cities needs a store like Giant Nerd Books!

AMBIANCE Parking: Downtown parking is downtown parking thus requiring some patience. There is some street parking and garage parking nearby. Seating: Inside seating, plenty of cozy nooks and tables, with room for about 40-50 people. Vibes: You gotta love Spokane. A growing town but a small town feel. The spot itself feels like a love letter to books and community with that old soul essence. You walk in and your senses are welcomed from the aroma of coffee and the hustle and bustle of employees and customers moving around. One side you'll see the cafe but a good portion is a lot of shelves with books and gifts. A very stimulating space, great place to study or get work done. CAFES & RETAILS Cold Brew - Hazelnut (Recommend) They have these house brews with selective flavors. I got a staple hazelnut that provided a nice nutty earthy feel. The coffee was strong as it kept me up for a busy day. Retails (Recommend) I didn't get anything but if my luggage had room I probably totally would have. Great range of books and creative thoughtful gifts (bookmarks, candles, and trinkets). CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. The staff contributes to the warm atmosphere and makes the space feel approachable. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, cozy vibes, and a sense of community that makes you want to stay awhile. Atticus isn't just a coffee shop but a neighborly space that brings the locals and visitors together. If you're in Spokane and need a place to relax, come through! TIPS: * Take your time and browse the books and gifts, and enjoy the specials!

Saranac Public House earns a solid 4 stars from our experience.

When we arrived, the customer service at the bar for pickup was just as great--smooth, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. The food definitely delivered. The pretzel was excellent, paired with a crazy good mustard that took it to another level. I ordered the curry, and it was a fantastic dish--rich, flavorful, and downright delicious. My daughter had the kids spaghetti with chicken added, and she confidently declared it the best spaghetti she's ever had... so there! Overall, a great experience with standout service and tasty food. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu before giving that fifth star.

Same layout, same coffee shop, same sections, etc. But I just love going in and finding a few books or magazines and finding a comfy chair and just flipping through the pages. I also love their beautiful journals!!! They usually have a lot to choose from!! Also, pens , paper, puzzles, stationary section, lovely cards for different occasions. Also have a fun kids section with fun kids books and stuff. Amazingly large selection of magazine's. Just a fun place to visit! I usually stop in here whenever I am in the Valley area, just shopping for the day.

Overall, we love Barnes and noble and this was a clean, great store. However, I brought my kids and…read moretheir friends. They were looking at books in the young readers section and found a book called spent. It's a comic book style book. They flipped through it and found some pretty pornagraphic images. Yes, they were drawings, but a butt naked lady and a guy with a strap on. I let the staff know and they did removed the rest of the copies from the kids section but the images are forever seared in my 12 year old daughter and her friend's minds. So we get to have a fun conversation and I get to talk to the other child parent. I did take a picture of one of the pages but I won't post it here. Hopefully staff will review books in the kids section a little closer going forward.

Love this store, but what's going on with the quality control? I love browsing the books and purchasing the books I want to read and not bringing home another. What does that mean? I will explain ... the cover is the book I want. The inside pages are a completely different book that somebody returned and glued back together. I have never seen that before. Shocked. I posted pictures. So that you have an idea of what I am talking about. Needless to say, for every book I purchase from now on, I will have to look a couple of pages in to see if it's actually the book I'm getting. What is this world coming to? I just upgraded from my old membership to the new one. Sigh. Barnes do better.
