Barnes & Noble

So glad to still have a brick and mortar bookstore in existence! Been coming here for decades and now my children enjoy this paperback oasis like I did! The service is great, ambiance lovely, Starbucks hot, and plentiful areas to get lost abound. Spend some time here to remember what life was like BEFORE smart phones!

I usually stop here around Xmas time to pick up some wonderful add on gifts for kiddos but recently I have been buying my mother in law the Classic section books and she has been thrilled! Peter Pan, Little Women, The Odyssey! They have EVERY classic novel that got me interested in reading and writing and now my family can rely on a new book when they are on their very last chapter of the one they're reading!! Pure brilliance and wonderful staff!!

Purchased a few personal growth/self help books this evening at Barnes and Noble Joliet. I had wonderful experience with a gentleman by the name of Cristian at the checkout. He’d told me I had some good choices and asked if he could make some suggestions of his personal favorites. He wrote down several different titles for me that I looked into and are excited to grab after I finish the ones I just purchased. If you are in the market for some reading stop and talk to Cristian, very knowledgeable, and overall a very nice gentleman. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Cristian!!!

I’ve recently started coming here on Wednesdays looking for my next bookish adventure in between my classes (I’m a Student at Joliet Junior College), and this place has so many choices a books that it can become very hard to decide. They have all sorts of awesome things, like magnetic poetry kits, which I hope to use soon for laughs and when I need to relieve any creative slowdown, but my favorite purchases so far have been from the music book section, from which I’ve purchased a music theory book, sheet, music, notebook, and a book teaching how to play the guitar for beginners. The staff is very nice and one of them, a woman whose name I didn’t get, has even complemented the badge pins on my purse (they were BanG Dream! Girls Band Party, and I ended up feeling inspired to get back into playing it at least semi regularly because of this). Happy to say I will be coming back to this bookish paradise every chance I get.

Absolutely luv there wooden mind puzzles called "True Genius" is mainly why I bother to go in the first place.

These puzzles occupy you for hours just solving them :DD

Heavily would suggest if you're quiet the thinker

Always a great experience. This location is great, definitely recommend! Great staff, always plenty of content for everyone. Clean and organized. And for those that are interested, they do have LGBTQ content!

I’ve been going to the Barnes & Noble in Joliet for quite some time. I wanted to complement their management and staff for doing an excellent job working with the patrons. Rick has always been great to talk with and helpful with any questions. The overall atmosphere set by the management and staff has been welcoming and largely responsible for encouraging support from the community. I’ve always appreciated the great connections and people I’ve met over the years through Barnes & Noble Joliet.

I had a lot of fun picking out a book and bookmark. Afterwards, I stopped over at the Starbucks in store. It was a wonderful experience. The young lady helped me choose the perfect latte. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and I will be coming back soon! Great customer service over all!

David at Starbucks is an artist!! His drinks come out like pure perfection every single time. He is a top notch barista and Barnes and nobles is lucky to have him!! His guest service makes you feel like a part of the book community!

I love this location! Everyone is so nice and I always get helped out with great attitude.

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about my inquiries. Made new suggestions into a new series based on my selection of books. Absolutely loved it

Didn't know this was there but glad it was close by! Friendly and helpful staff who took me to exactly what I was looking for.

Called and had them hold my books. I picked them which was great service and fast experience! No long lines, it was perfect

Went in here to get stuff for dungeons and dragons. Adam, the guy whom I asked to help me, patiently explained out options and answered my questions thoroughly and genuinely. It was a very pleasant experience.

Went there for a collection of books that my sons like went there it nice but I just wish we had more to pick from other than that it a very calming store

It's Barnes & Noble, what's not to like. Always great service here and I love the atmosphere.

Great selection, welcoming and helpful employees with a fun environment. You can get in and out with your selections easily or you can spend hours exploring new reads and gadgets. If you do spend hours you can grab a bite and a refreshment while your there. I adore Barnes and Noble.

Great experience, nice location. Miss having the movie theater so close!

Staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

Great place to take the kids for book-shopping. You might stumble on a few toys the kids will love. It's a book factory.... 😆.
