Barnes & Noble

“I love the warm, welcoming environment and the smell of the coffee.”

Aaron Linsdau Thriller Author★★★★★

This Barnes & Noble is one of the anchors of Columbia Center Mall and has entrances both from inside the mall and directly from the outside parking lot, which makes it easy to access either way. If you come in from the outside entrance, the café is immediately off to the right. It’s usually busy, which is honestly a good sign. There always seems to be a steady flow of people coming through the store, giving the whole place an active feel. As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series, I naturally ended up spending time around the mystery and thriller shelves. It’s always interesting seei

A large and welcoming bookstore with many other offerings, like toys, games and artwork.

Having been to multiple Barnes and Nobles in various states, this one is definitely A tier but not S tier. They have a great Lego collection. Staff is generally friendly. There's a cafe and the book selections are neat and easy to navigate. However, it still remains the classic green and brown style. While I do appreciate it for nostalgia's sake, you can see the age of the place if you look hard enough.

You are greeted as you come in. Selection is wonderful. Any type of book you want? They had story time for small children. Seating everywhere I just love going there
