Feels little bit smaller than most Barnes & Nobles, but still an enjoyable place to spend time in, especially since there’s no real competition in the neighborhood.
Worst starbucks experience I’ve ever had in any city. Staff was insanely rude and unwelcoming. Raising their voices in a rude way when they didnt understand what the customers were saying. Even made fun of my little sister when she was unsure of her order. You can hear them laughing at other customers from the seating area. Definitely does not reach the standards of what starbucks is known for.
One of few Barnes still in the city. this low key spot in Tribeca is a great place to look for books, magazines, movies, music & a java at Starbucks
This place is worth your time. This is not just a Barnes&,Noble this exact shop is an amazing place with loads of possibilities and a great service.
Ray and his crew were incredibly helpful for me and my wheelchair! It is such a pain and Ray made everything easy for me to visit a book signing. Not everyone is understanding and accommodating but he and his team were amazing. Clean store, good food at Starbucks. Perfect experience.
My favorite places forever ever
Good amount of seating all over the store. The cafe staff are always good at making drinks, sometimes even better than certain regular Starbucks.
Although the store is smaller than the one located at Union Square, staff are more polite and more prepared to work with customers. Ive found and amazing tarot- unique Id say - inspired in Salvador Dali , and an amazing book with the complete works of Michelangelo - priceless! And the granny-lady in the cashier, the noblesse in person! Extraordinarily polite, educated and smart !
The people inside are nice. Especially the tall white lady. Idk her name but shes helpful.
Huuge store!!! Lots to look at & see...Omgoodness. Nice & clean, but terrible parking.
Very nice book store. Very quite and order. A lot of variety and a very nice service
As one of the few brick and mortar bookstores thats left in America, this one is refreshing. Bright, spacious, quiet, but without the corporate chain feel, this store is one where you can get lost in reading and shopping for your favorite books.
Visiting Barnes and Noble stores became a staple activity for me throughout the pandemic because books always calm and nourish my being. Not only do the stores stay open throughout the health crisis under challenging times, Barnes and Noble upped its game providing amazing selection of books and improved store display aesthetics. Cannot do without my delicious Starbucks hot cappuccino and cafe mocha from its signature BN.com app enabled cafes too!
Terrible customer service: very unwelcoming:I went to pick up a book. The book section I was interested in was to the side of a talk going on. I went to look for the book. I was told by an associate that I should leave and a fellow employee could get the book for me. I speak to one associate who was disinterested and unhelpful so I figure she was a stocker and left to talk to customer service. In the customer service line I was told that they do not have the book. Their website said they have the book in stock. I think they lied to me so they wouldnt have to do what the initial associate said, that they would be willing to pick up the book for me from the section once I told them what it was. I just wanted the book. I suspect they lied to me so they wouldnt have to go get it. I will see if it is in stock tomorrow. If it is I will complain to the manager.Update: Book was in stock. They lied.
Got these 2 books for the grandkids. 3 year old loves his book
The staff was very helpful! I was given hello finding my books quickly and the staff was friendly and you could tell they were passionate about books. The cashier also helped a lot. In the end I left with a membership cause its a great store with great people running it. Glad its so close to work!
I like to read book , cooking and Maginze as much i love it and i like order some food with free water in the cafe as well :)
This Barnes & Noble store is one of my favorites. I know they all look the same inside, but theres something very calming about this one. Its never very crowded and there is a Starbucks inside. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I work nearby and I like to go in just to duck in to get a few minutes of peace, see what new books are out, and get a cup of coffee before I head back into work. There are tables near the Starbucks counter where you can sit and eat if you would like to. Theres a small selection of food as well as the usual Starbucks drinks. This store is also a good place to stop in quickly for a last-minute gift. There is a really nice assortment of journals and other gifts. I usually go to this particular Barnes & Noble store instead of going to the one closer to my home because it is more relaxing.
Its a good store. Dont get me wrong...go find a local book store instead...but with print media going under just buy a book!Anyway, Im here for reviews so here we go. Its hard to find. The door is on the side of a building opposite of the windows. You have to find it, go up an escalator, and then youll be there.Inside, its pretty big. Lots of kids books and toys. Probably half the store is kids stuff.Theres also a big area they use for book signings and lectures. Its pretty cool.
Love this place. Very convenient location where you can chill and relax! You can get coffee at Starbucks thats located inside the store and dive in in a virtual book world. Amazing children section where kids can play and run freely, read and enjoy snacks .
The employees were really friendly and helped me find what I needed to find and they had a great collection of all sorts of genre 100% would go again
Good Starbucks cafe inside with small tables making them personal. Limited amount of books, but that is because of the size. Some staff are super super helpful, some which I think its the higher up staff like managers arent helpful and just worried about leaving on time, so dont go their late and expect good help if the managers are there.Other than that i find the place really good place to check out books and to enjoy.
Always a good experience.. best among all other B&N stores. Friendly, helpful and courteous staff.While here, also try their cafes chocolate chunk cookie warmed up.. definitely a must-try if youre a chocolate lover.. worth the calories ;-)
Huge selection, love the kids section where they can read books, or play. Good selection of STEM toys. Convenient cafe with Starbucks. Couple blocks away from battery park, and same building as a whole foods make the location quite convenient.
How is this place still able to pay rent?Nice to be able to browse, good for kids to have a place, better enjoy it before it becomes extinct.Executives at B&N need to do something fast. Retail experience is lacking and is nothing more than a library at times, with inconsiderate non-customers using it as a library, destroying merchandise.
My favorite place. The staff is great, friendly and very helpful. I love Barnes and Noble not only be6Im a book worm but I can always pick up a gift from a games, music, stuffed toy or beautiful stationary.
Respect and love to B&N for staying strong during COVID. Although this location is smaller than the Barnes and Noble on 14th Street, this location always quiet, peaceful and clean. The staff is friendly too.
Been coming to this one for years, my personal favorite overall. Sometimes the seats are all taken, but I can live with that. The cafe area is fairly nice and kept clean. Good variety of books for all ages and interests.
Super full all the time. People were sitting on the floor everywhere but when I tried to do the same in a corner the security guard came and was rude. I was confused because I saw him walk past whole groups sitting on the floor.The actual Barnes & Nobles is really nice but not worth the rudeness and selective reprimanding. The seating situation could be nicer instead of having a bunch of seats crowded in one area having them spread out so people can sit comfortably in different areas.
Im a college student, and usually during the gaps between my classes, I go here to read comic books. I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, the respectful people, and the friendly staff. The environment is very clean and orderly. Its a great place for parents and their toddlers to play in, with the stores large stroller parking area. In all, this a great place to relax and catch up on readings, with their wide variety of books.
This is a great Barnes and Noble!The employees are friendly and they have a good selection of books. They also have lots of interesting events with authors and stuff. In fact, once they had an event with Stephen Chbosky!The store has a charging station which is also very useful and a Starbucks with a good selection of food and drinks. Its a nice place to hang out with friends or quietly read a book.
This is probably my favorite Barnes and Noble in the city. It isnt the largest one (I think the Union Square location takes that honor) but it has some of the friendliest staff and it is in a great location.It has a good selection of books and various knickknacks that are great for gifting. As mentioned, it isnt the largest location (only one floor) but it is certainly big enough and you should be able to find most of what you are looking for. A couple of times a year they put out a large clearance section and you can find some real gems there.The cafe is also great. The baristas and other employees are always very friendly and it is generally not too hard to find a seat (although it does get a little crowded in the winter months and around the time that schools get off since it is near several schools). One thing to note is that it serves Starbucks coffee but it is not actually a Starbucks cafe so your Starbucks gift cards and membership wont work here.
Consistently good and gelpful staff and great stock for books.And the self help / personal growth section is HUGE which is good for all of us who need a lot of self help. :)
I love this bookshop. Its quite and peaceful, is very big and you can sit and enjoy a book. Also there is a Starbucks inside where you can enjoy some coffee while reading your new book.
Found an associate for help quickly and she assisted and found the book I was looking for very fast. The entire shopping and purchasing experience was quick which is exactly what I needed.
The place to spend your valuable time
Excellent store! I reserved a book here online for in-store pickup. The wait in line was about two minutes. The lady who checked me out recommended two related titles that were very relevant to my purchase. She was clearly very passionate about books and social issues.I highly recommend this location.
This Barnes and Nobles is great. The amount od options is impressive and the store is always clean. They also have a cafe area. Ive bought many books here in the past and always leave a satisfied customer.
This Barnes & Noble is located perfectly, next to the Kelloggs store, the pet shop, theater, Union square Park, its just great.Also, this may be the largest B&N in Manhattan, with 4 floors of books, unique toys, and games, the cafe, and excellent customer service ready and willing to help on each floor.The selection is excellent and you can normally find what you want here ...its also surprisingly so well organized, considering they are such a large store.
Beautiful store, poorly organized. Customer service was nonexistent.I was looking for the Science books section. Customer service lady passed me by, talking on the phone, I asked her for help, but she never came back. There was no one else around, so I decided to ask one of 2 cashiers. Here is a dialogue that followed:Cashier- Science Fiction?Me- No, just Science, Physics, Math etc.Cashier - OK, but we dont sell textbooks .Me- I dont need a textbook, just Science section thank you.Cashier- go to customer service, they will tell you .Me- shes on the phone and shes busy, theres nobody else to help in the entire store, so thats why I figured I can ask you...Cashier- Go to customer service. (After I left, to my back) Well, its not holidays anymore! Really?!! Its not holidays anymore? And thats the reason you can provide poor customer service?This is just sad.Turned out, the Science books were stuck all the way back behind Childrens books, next to crying babies leaving after childrens event...🤣🤣
One of my favorite Barnes & Noble. It’s a very pleasant atmosphere with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The café area is relaxed and quiet, which allows you to get work done. (Unlike the Union Square location, which tends to be a bit more chaotic.) Overall, a nice addition to Tribeca.
B&N has always been my favorite book store even when Borders was still around. They had more selections to choose from. They were always helpful in getting books they didnt have in stock. Although I do have a Kindle it does not stop me from walking into a B&N if I have the time to peruse the aisles. My experience if you reserve a copy of a book online for store pick-up I normally am able to get it that same day at one of the cash registers. Always a pleasant experience.
My favorite location is this Tribeca one. It is very relaxing here. Feel free to browse, flip pages and grab something from Starbucks which is located inside. I like to make sure I buy my books from BN since Im always worried theyll go out of business. The place is just way too welcoming and full of charm. I especially love it during those cold NY months. The wind blowing from the Battery, and this place provides the perfect warmth.
Probably the best Barnes and Noble in New York. Right above a whole foods, but still very clean and well kept. Not very crowded. If you want a nice quiet Barnes and Noble come here!
This is the worst store I have ever been to. I am in town for 2 weeks and wanted to find a couple of inexpensive toys for my 2 year old. I was approached and asked if I needed help. I said I was just trying to find a few inexpensive items to keep my son occupied for a couple of weeks. The man offered no help or advice just told me that at lot of nannies come in the shop so kids are not to touch any of the toys, and the stared at my son who was picking up toys then putting them back neatly on the shelf. I had promised my son a toy so I had to buy something, even though I didnt want to. At the checkout I told the cashier that I think its ridiculous that they are selling toys but kids are not allowed to touch anything. The guy just looked at me and told me quite rudely to just put my card in the machine. When I said I was shocked at how rude everyone in this store is he just looked at me. I only arrived in town yesterday and in every other shop the staff have been super lovely and helpful. This was not what I expected from a US store.
I love bookstores, so I must place a 5 stars review to this B&N.It is a very big place, very well stocked, so I am sure you will find whatever you are looking for.There is a small coffee shop as wel, and chairs where you can seat and rest (nobody will botter you).
I like this Barnes and Nobles store because its very spacious and easy to access. It has only one floor which I like and the staff is very friendly. Their selection of books is a bit more versatile than other Barnes & Nobles stores. They have a great philosophy and history section and their selection of psychology books is worth a good look to.
I was going on a short trip and I left my book home, alas. So I took a brief walk over to the Warren St branch of B&N, found the Kate Atkinson department, bought the book I was looking for, and was treated with courtesy and friendliness as I checked my book out! The time before, Id gone to redeem a $50. gift certificate. I found three books, one of them the particular, the most recent Edward St Aubyn novel and again was treated with consummate graciousness by the cashier. Not a place for erudite texts, book a good solid--and pleasant--store!
Very nice and lovely place , it even has a stroller parking , how creative right?
One of the last bastions of large bookstores, this B&N has a great selection of books, games, and magazines. Located upstairs from Whole foods and across from Bed Bath & Beyond. Has a quiet cafe inside. Near the 1,2,3 subway lines near Chamber Street.
Barnes and nobles is great for finding all the kid books imaginable. Your able to sit in a designated area for reading kids books without being bothered. But, if you even carry in a drink not purchased at b&n or sit on the floor youll be asked to leave or to move. Good location, slow staff.
Excellent selection of everything - all genres, music/movies, nook, etc. this location has everything. Plus, helpful and friendly staff. Its also staffed well enough that theres always someone to help you find what youre looking for and even walk you over to it.
When in NY, Barnes and Noble is the desirable place to visit for interesting and hard to find books. It is always helpful to have a first glance on the preferred books we would like to check to ensure that what we will purchase will be our moneys worth
Very nice & open, employees are polite too! Great at hosting big events, & yet can have nice relaxing feel. Wide selection, and theres a Starbucks too for those who like the two worlds.
My first time at the TriBeCa location of Barnes & Noble Booksellers on Warren Street was very enjoyable. I received very good customer service, and was very happy with the selection of Cozy Mysteries, journals, and note card sets. The associate who rang up my order is named Barbara, and she was VERY professional and polite, and also gave me EXCELLENT advice on refraining from over-packing when traveling. I look forward to returning to this location of Barnes & Noble Booksellers, and very soon.
Great place if you are looking for books of any kind, you can even read then there as there are chairs and tables (tables I think are exclusive for starbucks costumers) oh, that as well, it has a starbucks inside. Theres also a kid sections, with lots of books and toys, and a section juat dedicated to music and movies/series. Definetly worth a long visit
The place is fairly roomy and theres a decent variety of products, in general. Its usually not crowded, either. If youre looking for a place to sit, though... good luck.On another note, its also not a very good place to find collectors items and merchanside, in spite of its location and size.
Lost my sons blankie here. Came back an hour later and the staff helped me track it down. They are awesome. Also, this B&N is well stocked with a nice Cafe and excellent programming.
This is a pretty good Barnes and Nobles it has a community center vibe to it. It seems to be a hotspot for the Tribeca mom and caretaker to bring children to and the store caters to them with their own section and stroller parking. I like the cafe here because if youre lucky enough to get a seat by the window. You will have a fantastic view of the street below which if youre looking for inspiration is a great source. They have a great book selection I have always been able to find anything I want and anything I couldnt find the staff was very helpful in finding a solution for
A huge bookstore with a built-in Starbucks, solid music/movies area, great toy selection and a large childrens book area. Please buy some stuff here so this place stays in business, its a great addition to the neighborhood.
Wonderful staff and wonderful location. Large store that carries everything from childrens toys to sweets (yes, there is also a Starbucks inside!) to records to cookbooks to novels. The starbucks also honors B&N gift cards!
The Warren Street retail store is large, comfortable and highly enjoyable.Its a wonderful place to spend time.I greatly appreciate that Barnes & Noble placed on its shelf three copies of my novel, The Complaint.One copy was sold and friends told me they will buy the other two.However, I was informed by an employee of the store that there is no procedure for restocking the shelf.Im hoping the manager of the store reads this and is able to establish a procedure for replenishment as sales occur.Thanks,Tom Breen
Im a fan of ebooks, audio books and all of those other trendy devices. However, you simply cannot beat the feel of actually turning the page of your latest book and Barnes & Noble have them all
Just an amazing, relaxing place to choose slowly and peacefully your next book or books.There is even a coffee place, where you can eat too (not super chep, but in case...). I just love this atmosphere.
Good book chain, found some great pre- release books at 50% off!
This is a nice, quiet Barnes location in Tribeca. Its on the second floor of a building complex, next to a Bed Bath & Beyond. Pretty spacious layout so its easy to get lost in the rows of books and other media. There is a cafe/Starbucks in the interior.
Lots of space. Good selection of books. Good selection of vinyl records and CDs.
Great staff, and there are chairs to sit in
Security constantly follows people in this store. Book selection is great. There is large childrens area. B&N Staff is nice but security should really be retrained.
Excellent customer service. Wide, spacious, and a huge selection of books, magazine, music (CD, DVD, and Vinyl), toys ,and other media memorabilia like their NOOK electronic tablets.
I love this location, always peaceful environment! Great cafe as well👏🏼
Made me feel very unwelcome. My 1 year old saw some fun toys so I took her out the stroller to play with one on the floor. Manager comes along and says we cant play on the floor with the toys. I apologized even though I didnt think I had to since there was lots of other people on the floor too. I then put her back on the stroller and walked a few aisle over. He walks by me again and gives me a stare. At this point I feel targeted so I went to the children sitting area and sat down. Baby is quiet and I am on my phone waiting for my husband and 6 year old to finish shopping. This guy comes back AGAIN this time with another manager and tells me I cant sit there with the stroller. I had it. I gave them a piece of my mind and left immediately. I felt horrible that I wasnt able to get the books my 6 year old wanted. But I refused to give my hard earn money to a company that made mel the way they did. I dont know if it was because I am Puerto Rican or I had tattoos....but I was able to find the books on Amazon. I am going to be shopping for books in Amazon from now on.
I am beyond dissatisfied because as I was reading my true crime book WHICH BY THE WAY WAS MAD EXPENSIVE FOR NO REASON I found a roach in it and it crawled on me and I don’t know where it went but now there’s more roaches in my house.
One of my favorite places in Tribeca. Hanging out with friends or reading books and magazines alone, or just having a cup of latte at the book store on site cafe after shopping at Whole Foods and Bed Bath & Beyond, so many ways to enjoy this venue.
Friendly and helpful staff. Good variety. Found all books on my shopping list. Magazine selection can have more variety.
Nice book store with a decent selection. If they dont have the book they will ship it to the store. They have a Starbucks inside with plenty of seating but it does get crowded in the afternoon.
Great selection of books and calm atmosphere, even in the childrens area. They are always having some celebrity speak about their books, so itsgreat place to chill.
I could spend a whole day there: if you want a good book at a good price, you go there. It is really a crowded at times, but everyone wants good price. The park is nearby and you can relax after.
One of my favourite Barnes and Nobles. Its quiet and reserved, yet full of family-friendly activity. I always feel welcome and at home here.
Great place to buy some good manga and probably other books if youre not a loser like some of us. Also, so nice compared to how small it seems like it would be.
I do really love BN. They sometimes have great sales on books and specials on limited edition prints. This location has a Starbucks inside. Its upstairs.
This Barnes and Noble is really accommodating. Its crowded at times, which should be expected in New York, but in general, its pretty quiet when it has to be. The staff plan some excellent programs for families and children.
🍃 love this store, everyone is very helpful and courteous. the store is kept clean and pretty well organized. Its always a pleasure to shop there. Lol.😄 did I mention how I can get lost there, blissfully peacefully lost !!!💖💐💕🔔 Thanks B&N.
Fantastic book store! Massive selection, organised and tidy display, efficient and helpful staff and the atmosphere is just magical! 5 out of 5!
One of the last few Barnes & Noble stores. Good-sized place with decent sales items. Makes me nostalgic for the original Fifth Avenue Store and for the huge sales annex that was across the street.
Checked online for a book, then again when I got to the store; both said the title was available. The book was nowhere to be found. I understand shrinkage, but the stock needs to be updated or have a connection with another Barnes and Noble to find it in stock.
Good old Barnes and Noble, a neighborhood staple. Its on the second floor, with the entrance on the side of Whole Foods. Great selection, clean, and an overall good place to shop for books.
The staff were so helpful. I got my book and also a $2 discount of a coffee in store. Real people in a real shop with real books. Whats not to like.
Great barnes and noble store... good area nice and peaceful ✌
Hey have every book and full stock of gift options. The staff were very nice pointing out books and telling us about their sales.
I love it because it open your eyes 👀and you be in your worlds and no one bother u.
Whenever I come to Barnes & Noble, I look into the Manga/Anime section to catch up with the latest issues. while reading that I would go to the café section and pick up either a bottle of NAKED or drink a cup of tea. The carpets make great for sitting on, as well as laying down, after those stressful days at college. I can say that I truly appreciate the quiet space Barnes & Noble offers for thinkers such as myself. All in all, I wouldnt choose another book store over Barnes & Noble.
I came in here, bought two items from the gift area, spending about $38, then took a look at several titles, which I decided to think about rather than purchase right away. An Middle aged male, balding employee super creepily FOLLOWED me almost out of the store to essentially INTERROGATE me about why I hadnt purchased any of the items Id looked at. I explained I had already made a purchase, but should not have been approached in this way in the first place. Very strange behavior, will not be back.
I love bookstores in general. This one can get loud because the stroller parking is inside the store, and children can get even louder! Good place.
Enjoyed coffee at cafe Nobel enjoyed the music selection the store is big and has everything you need from 1yr to 100yr old if not they will order
Wide selection of books, plenty of space in the adjoining Starbucks cafe, got some wicked good suggestions from staff on some YA mysteries which showed a level of outstanding engagement from the employee.
Great location! You enter from the side and then it is on the second floor!
I absolutely love Barnes and Nobles. With books being cheaper online I worry that B&N will close down so I go as often as I can.
Great little spot to unwind - theres an indoor free play area with books and blocks for the kids, and theres Starbucks and books for the parents. What else do you need on a cold winter afternoon?
Either fix your phone line connection or have your employees answer phones properly. Called 5x just for ONE call to go through and before I can even finish asking for assistance on inventory, it got disconnected? Either that or he hung up.
Best use of space. Wanted to go somewhere to get out of the heat. I also enjoy the no hassle of being able to read and have something to drink. I have a BnN in my hometown which I have gone to since the day it opened.
Always fun visiting the book store. I wish they had a few more titles available.I hope this store can last the test of time.
Really nice and quiet Barnes and Nobles near Battery Park City. Stroller friendly and a good stop before going to the riverside.
Amazing staff and book collection.
My favorite place to shop for amazing books
The most racist Barnes and noble I have ever been to. Cashier grab the bag with one finger and basically threw it at me. And as I was browsing the isle the workers literally followed me around for 1 whole hour smh.
Wide selection of all genres, board games and a Cafe. What else a book lover need?
Helpful staff and absolutely amazing selection of books.
Wanted to give 5 stars..but no outlets in the cafe to charge phones. Otherwise very nice very large store. Staff is well attentive
Beautiful store, Very clean place, very nice people working there, super helpful!
Lives up to expectations - great selections (especially in the bargain books section), clean and bright floor space, dependable customer service.
There was an old lady who sounded slightly British in the cashier today (06/03/2016) who had an attitude, and when I complained about the credit card chip reader not working properly, she told me that its been used in other countries for 25 years already. Like us the dump americans (who I am not) cant use it properly. Fire her !!!
I went to purchase a book that I saw on Barnes and Noble website and I called to check if they have it.When I showed up at the store instead of the listed price of $42 they wanted me to pay $90.Apparently their online pricing is only for online purchases.Shame on you for ripping people off. Ill never shop from you again!
Really good collections for books. Also have a cafe.Staff members treats everyone good and they are friendly.
A big bookstore with lots of space to walk and a great selection of books
Great bookshop although somewhat commercial, sells children’s toys and Starbucks???But quiet and relaxed.
Friendly staff, quick checkout. They won’t price-match with their online store unless you’re a member, but you can always reserve an in-store pickup.
While I prefer the independent book stores this store has a decent record stock. Yes. LPs I mean :).
It has everything. Organized and neat
Very quiet and peaceful. All of the books are in pristine condition and carries a wide arrange of them as well. The place is very spacious.
A big selection of books, DVDs, CDs, records, other nice gift ideas, and they have a nice Starbucks.
A bit smaller inventory than the other local Barnes & Nobles, but the staff here is fantastic, and its way less overcrowded here.
Knowledgeable staff, the Starbucks coffee shop is spacious with tons of seating and diverse selection of books well distributed and organized.
This location is pretty great, lots of options. Café area is good for studying, but lacks comfortable seating.
One of the best book store in NYC. I go there often. Very friendly staff. Excellent location.
This bookstore is my favorite...for long time.Plus visit the another location on 5th Avenue...also good and a great assortment of all !!
Awful customer service. The manager Kevin has no respect for his self and doesnt know how to talk to people. The Barnes and nobles on 86th street is much better.
Very lovely outlet
Excellent service, thousands of books and good to have back.
Nice place to duck in for a warm and educational break. Always nice to have a physical book in your hands and on a cold day with coffee.
Great book selections. It is good place to relax if you love books.
I completely love this place. The staff is super friendly and more than helpful. Great place to catch theorang events and book signings
(12.22.15 at 215pm) Mr. JOSH at the register had a hard time with me paying with a one hundred dollar bill. He blankly stared at me as if waiting for me to give him something else to pay with. He was so bothered by the 85 dollars he had to give me in change, he slapped it as he was counting, and just rolled up the cash and placed on on the counter. Please give this guy a 15 minute break to get a latte and cookies at the starbucks to lift up his spirits.
Great bookstore. Lots of toy selections for children and a nice area for kids to play and explore.
Awesome book selection! My favorite book store! Friendly staff.
I like this place. Lots of cool and interesting things, not just books. Good place to find an interesting gift.
It is very pleasant with a nice coffee bar. The only problem is it can be filled with noisybkuds if you go at the wrong time.
Great place to buy the books I need, as well as getting some toys for the kids and lunch
Defacto kids hang out. Great to kill a couple hours with kids and a culturally relevant adult cocktail table book section too.
Small, limited collection. Looked for a couple of books, but they didnt have them. The staff are really helpful though.
Really Great spot ,for Books .. Every Magazine there is , Kids Toys , Adults games & much more...
Good selection. Coffee area has a great view of tribeca. A great scenic area to read and enjoy a coffee.
A little light on warhammer 40k novels. But its a smaller store. With helpful staff.
I love this B&N. As a bookstores suffer the same fate as the dinosaurs its nice to have a place to sit flip through a book and get a cupnof coffee
Its quite easy to find a seat and service was very good
Really big, Bed bath and beyond is right next to it along with a starbucks.
One of the few brick and mortar bookstore left in the city, good selection of books, postcards, magazines and last minute presents for friends and family.
Staff was very helpful and resourceful. They have a very big are for kids and dvd.
Love this barnes and noble. The perfect place to sit and read while having a nice cup of coffee and a peanut butter cookie.
Very good bookstore, something for everyone. Pleasent staff and a pretty good café.
I wish there was a bigger selection of spanish books. But pretty big overall and good music selection.
I paid a visit to this location in search of a few titles. Customer service was outstanding. Whatever wasnt in stock was ordered for me.
My favorite stop in Manhattan. I love to read, the selection of books and miscellaneous things is excellent, and the coffee is great as well.
Was there for an Author Book signing. Very organized and a great layout of the store.
I bought manga that Im looking forward to read and Im happy.
Always knowledgeable and helpful.
This store has a great selection and super awesome staff. Always happy to help and even with my kids, always friendly!
Selection is not as great for sci-fi as in the union square location. Toy section is much better than the 5th ave location.
They have a great variety of everything, books, table games, and its a cozy place.
Was looking around for 15 minutes trying to find someone to help me. Zero customer service, no greeting. I will go to local bookstore from now on.
Organized, lots of different products, very cold (helps in the summertime).
Great staff! Sonia was very helpful to my family and me. Fun atmosphere.
Saw urban fantasy author Jim Butcher speak there. Beautiful high bay space to browse, read and shop.
One of the few left. Very calm and cool place
One of my favorite places to visit, discover new books to read. I adore Barnes and Noble!
Hard to find from the street- entrance is on side street (go in building and up escalator). Tourists like to enjoy a snack and coffee at the café.
This is my go to store. Great selection of books and a Starbucks cafe. Q
Not my face location but its really nice in here
Great store with a cafe and huge kids area. Look for the older librarian who really knows her stuff in the kids area.
Very well laid out. Clean isles and lots of product to choose from. Also, employees were very helpfull and sweet
Not much books to choose from despite it available on the website. For a Manhattan site, near many schools, they need to increase inventory.
Very good place to take young kids especially on cold or rainy days..there is a play area if the kids dont just want to read books
Big selection and great sit down area. cool place for relax and read books
Nice selection of books, with occasional local events held in their reading corner.
This location is BIG and has an amazing wide selection of titles and non book related items.
Wasnt really serviced for wrapping gifts, and book prices have gone up!
As a collector of criterion dvds, definitely has the best selection in nyc
Barnes & Nobles is always an Amazing experience. I couldnt say a bad word about them.
Huge selection of books as it should be. Plus I collect and sell some toys that ironically I found at this location.
I love Barnes and Noble: coffee and books, what could be better on a winter evening?
Found the book I was looking for, customer service was good.
It lacked luster compared to the one formerly located on 86th and Lexington.
Excellent bookstore with a broad and diverse range of choices in literature to choose from... Enjoy...!!
Good place to study, usually pretty quiet and the baristas are really friendly and stuff.
Great selection of books, good programs for kids, and a bunch of outlets for phone charging.
Always love B&N. Spacious. Nice. Not much seating in the cafe area.
Barnes & Nobles always make me feel like a kid
To me its a very big barnes & noble. I enjoy it and the staff is friendly.
Nice places. Lots of books. The comic section was nice (see picture)

2022-05-24One of the last places to actually buy a book in person. I can walk around, browse, find new books I may not have known about. They have a huge selection, its a very large store. Very extensive magazine section also which is nice. Not everything translates well to an iPad. I personally like to hold a book & magazine when I read. Im not a weirdo, I have books on my iPad/phone also but sometimes its just nice to turn an actual paper page.

2022-03-03Worst barnes and noble I’ve ever step foot in. Staff was extremely rude, security guard follows you around for AWHILE. I’ve been going to this store for 3 years or more at this point, and I’ve spent a gross amount at this location, and I continue being treated this way. I honestly feel like they discriminate against me, because they’re so attentive to any white customer. I’m a teenager and I guess they assume I won’t be buying anything, but also treat me like a criminal. I’m almost never left alone in this location. :). The cafe isn’t great either. You can hear staff laughing at customers from the seating area, not only that they get audibly angry at customers and raise their voices. Would not allow my Starbucks drink from a different location despite me paying for food at the cafe. I honestly don’t see how they would care, and I’ve been able to bring in drinks before???? Overall just feels like they like humiliating you

2022-03-10I go to this store a lot like every other day. The security man is horrible!!! I got followed 4 different times I’ve been here by the same guy. I like this store cause it’s close to my school, I come here to work on my laptop or during breaks. Honestly most of the staff is rude and disrespectful, and have you followed for no reason.. I don’t buy anything in store anymore since I can never find what I want in stock, but I used to spend a lot of money here, but I have a feeling they think I steal cause I walk around a lot.

2020-08-17It’s finally open again! This place has a huge selection of books, toys, gift ideas, magazine and stuff! The place is clean. If you’re looking for a place to grab a snack and coffee while browsing books and magazine in the Tribeca area then this place is a great place. A couple blocks from the WTC area too. Highly recommend this place.

2018-12-02My husband works around here and decided to take me to browse for toys for our daughter. Its an amazing store with a giant childrens section with plenty of room for storytime and for kids to explore. The toy selection was amazing and mostly educational. I loved the variety and how open the entire store is. The staff was super friendly and kind. We bought a gift for our daughter and got free gift wrapping outside the store by a non-profit organization which was a nice perk. Check this store out and enjoy the ambience. Loved all the book selections and wish I had room at home to store more books.
