Barnes Noble - Plantation

Barnes and Noble on University Dr is a place that is worth going and returning every time. The extensive selection of books and magazines is great. I always find what I am looking for on their shelves. Great place to see, select and grab the books in person.

We decided to get a present for our granddaughter's elementary school teacher. Got her teacher a Harry Potter book Harry Potter Book Clip because apparently she enjoys the series. Later we'll be purchasing a Dunkin Donuts Gift Card because apparently she loves D&D as well.

I like the calm atmosphere accompanied with the smell of books, making it an ideal book lovers home away from home. Plus you can pick up a sweet treat at the cafe! I only gave it one star off of perfection, because some of the books can be a bit pricey and they seemed to be low on stock when I got there. Otherwise it's an enjoyable place to stop by.

The bookstore is well maintained. But, for it to have a Starbucks styled area you'd presume there would be outlets. NOPE. How about no where in the entire building... yep you got it. Had to go to the bathroom to charge laptop and download files. Glad there's a place to purchase good literature but no accommodations at all. Bathroom was clean and the staff was nice. Just was very unaccomidating.

Thanks to the quality, in this high-tech age, there are still bookstores for those of us who prefer to read from a book instead of a tablet! This Barnes and Noble has been my go-to store for many years, and they never disappoint. I did some serious holiday shopping yesterday and found everything on my list and more. I enjoyed an ice cold latte in their coffee shop, surrounded by walls. The staff is young and hip, helpful and pleasant, and the store is just the right size to spend time in, convenient. They have a pretty good selection of Spanish books, and I wish they could add some Italian language books with timelines and timeliness. You can also find beautiful Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and a variety of Godiva chocolates when you need a gift for a hostess. There is plenty of free parking and it's just a stone's throw from Macy's.
