Reviews for Barnes & Noble in Bloomington, MN
only place where decent human beings treat you like actual decent human beings, helpful from staff to those also perusing for... stuffs to purchase... only light i saw, outside of a tattoo shop, in the whole goddess foresaken place... even the swap meetmalls in the hood/ghetto, on the west coast, are nicer than most of the mall/stores that this place had the misfortune ofselling there wares through.

Training someone new, I imagine, since staff looked at me blankly when I asked if they had a particular book in stock. They... found another staff member who knew how to look for the item on the computer (seemed a pretty basic thing to have staff trainedon). Didn't have my book which is often the case if you are not looking for a bestseller. Also, went in looking for a particularmagazine - Daphne's Diary and they only had the spring and summer editions even though I was there on Sep. 25, 2022. So... notthe most fruitful outing for me.

AHHHH Barnes and Noble! I love book stores, and this location is easily the best. I came in looking for one book, and came out... with three! It?s so easy to get immersed in their best sellers, and they have some awesome sections to check out to explore newgenres. Employees came around and asked me if I need help, and my check out assistant was very sweet. My experience was amazing!I recommend you come here if you are in the MOA so that you can debrief!

As a bibliophile and a writer, I was in heaven! All together I bought 11 books in two trips, including some hard-to-find... reference books on Korea and Asian mythologies. Staff was helpful and friendly! Read more

After talking to customer service I found what I was looking for. I browsed and found few more things for the family. This store... is very clean and well lit. There were things here I didn't know they carried movies, cd's vinyl records. If your looking forclassic albums for your collection you may want to check them out. Two thumbs up. Read more
I?ve never been a book person myself and I just walked into this store at the Mall of America with my family, just by chance.... First thing that surprised me, is the books market really going down as some people tell it is, after the advent of digital andsocial media? There was so much buzz of people in every direction I looked at. Every section of this books shop was stackedwith so many different books. There were even different sections of toys and movie titles. The Starbucks was busy serving peopleat one end of the store. The kids section was spilling out with kids and their parents. Loved the sight of some of the parentsreading out for their kids in the rest places. My uncle got me a book on Good to Great by Jim Collins picked from the TopBusiness Books and I felt I must take this book with me as a memorabilia from this beautiful store. It took me a good fiveminutes to stand on the line and checkout the book. The staff was kind and she patiently recommended the Barnes and Noblemembership and explained its benefits. I just thought I could take it some other day and politely declined it. Nevertheless,this shop was just fantastic! Read more
