Reviews for Barnes & Noble in Durham, NC

Great ambiance, great selection of books and gifts! I did not interact with the staff but they seemed nice. The bathroom was... rough. Read more

Typical Barnes & Noble as far as books go, but they have no electrical outlets in the cafe area. They do not want people to... study there, or maybe write...you know...books. Read more

Really nice Barnes & Noble location with what seems like a big selection of books. My wife and I enjoyed our visit, and sipping... on some coffee at the Café while reading. The mall out here is nice! Read more

Walked in 15 minutes after they opened and all trash cans in the restroom were overflowing. The coffee shop was slow as well.... Staff was not unfriendly but they really didn't want to be there. Read more

If you are the kind of person who enjoys browsing through books, it has to be done in the real world. Online shopping is not... sufficient. We lost so much during the pandemic, it is wonderful to see that this great big bookstore is still standing. Thechildren's department upstairs is fully stocked. The old media section now sports a small but decent crop of vinylrecords. Nowhere near the gathering place it was, still great place to visit. Read more

I must say the best thing about the store other than the location, is the kids area. If you have small kids and just want to get... them out of the house, I recommend this location! Nice and clean ?? Read more

Likely the best Barnes & Noble in Durham, they have a incredible stock of games, toys, books (of course), and other items. While... I do not understand the the logic of continuing with an electronics department at this point, that has little to do with whetheror not I can recommend this place. The Starbucks is quick and efficient. The employees were always available if I have aquestion, but thankfully they do not press or overly invade your space. The two-story design is unique among Barnes and Noblesthat I've seen, and there are plenty of tidy areas to sit down, take a load off, and decide what you're going to get. I findthat Barnes & Noble is doing better with their pricing than the last time I checked in. Because of this I can actually recommendbuying books here as opposed to online. I do not recommend joining their club unless you are a frequent shopper. Fulldisclosure, I used to work for the retailer way back in the day. The breakdown back then was, if you're going to spend $200 ormore a year, join the club. If you're not then don't. Now I specifically didn't ask about this, but this hadn't changed as of ayear ago.

Plenty of options here, including books, toys, board games, vinyl records, CDs and it even has a coffee shop inside. Situated in... the Streets of South point, this Barnes and Noble location has two floors and is quite expansive. Their selection is unmatchedfor the area of Raleigh-Durham. Read more
