Barnes & Noble

Opened 10 am to 9 pm Monday to Saturday Sunday 10 am to 8 pm Very nice book store located at the parking level in ala Moana shopping center. Large selection very nice helpful staff.

Barnes and Nobles remains the best big retail bookstore ever. Truthfully a bit pricey but it is what it is and it’s worth it. Nice selection of books, manga and music. The music section, my favorite, has an expansive selection of K-Pop. They have a healthy offering of vinyl records, CDs and DVDs. They also have collectibles (think FunkoPops and other figurines/toys and board games). Great place.

Kudos to whomever has trained their staff. Two ladies helped me(one named J*c**e). The cashier was super upbeat and friendly and walked me over to customer service so that J*c**e could assist me. She too was super friendly and upbeat and she showed her colleague,who was eager to be taught, how to fix a technical issue. Love, love, love this store and its vast array of books and comforting atmosphere.

Love stopping by here to shop for a new book and get a little work done. Arrive early because getting a seat can be quite difficult. Luckily there is a Barnes and Noble/Starbucks cafe on site though. Good coffee and yummy quiche. The yearly agendas are so unique, they have the Kate Spade-one of my fave agendas! Usually a quiet place and every bookworm’s dream.

So grateful to have a book store. It it large, with a great selection of books, dvds and music. There is a Starbucks cafe inside. Several organized by subject magazine racks - great selection! There is a restroom here. Lots of discounted book racks as well. Toys, games, gifts, and greeting cards. An all around great bookstore.

The location is not the easiest to find especially if you are not familiar to the layout of Ala Moana. But once you do, you get to enter this well stocked bookstore which also has a cafe and sells a variety of books and other things such as board games and puzzles, stationery, toys, journals etc. I love that the middle section is curated according to various themes and current issues. In the off chance that you can't find the book you're looking for, you can easily book one online and you'll be able to collect them from the store. The place feels short-staffed which means you might not be able to find staff nearby but everything is still well run and service is fast. I was looking for a particular book (girls who invest) but they werent available in store so I ordered in advance and picked them up from the store. I could spend hours here.

Barnes and Noble at the Ala Moana shopping Centre is massive. You could spend all day in here just wandering around looking through the shelves. Stop at the Cafe for a caffeine hit and then keep going. I was looking for Harry Potter things and hit the jackpot. The staff were really friendly especially the guy who helped me out, he went way beyond to get things a little cheaper by signing me up to the membership and getting me the discount. A great B&N
