Mei TamSeptember 25, 2018They are a 2 story store with a cafe on the second floor. Good variety of books and toys and writing tools. Nice to know there are still a bookstore or too still around!Upvote10Downvote
It's smaller than Union Square so selection reflects it, but the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Save the $2.75 and stay in BrooklynUpvote12Downvote
A BDecember 9, 2014Cafe with Wi-Fi and no sign saying you can only stay for 30 minutes tops like it has on Union Square. Also cleaner & better organized than the Union Square one.Upvote8Downvote
Ayo Ogun-McCantsMarch 9, 2014Beware of the chastising, disrespectful and not so courteous Supervisor, Matt Thompson. Especially if you're a Mother with children as he will berate you should your children have stacks of books.Upvote4Downvote

Jonathan JamesJune 8, 2015One of my favorite places to find books besides the library.Upvote3Downvote
They finally put some chairs upstairs so no more people sitting and lying on the floor. If you still see people doing this, let security know. Always the perfect temperature in here.UpvoteDownvote
The cafe is usually packed & you're pretty lucky if you find a seat but very mellow despite that. Delicious sandwiches & full bakery. Horrible Wifi though!Upvote1Downvote
Saaya Rei RuizFebruary 2, 2015still the same bookstore with many many choices... To eat at the cafe so much good snacks!UpvoteDownvote- This place remains a diamond on Court Street. Upstairs cafe employees are always kind.UpvoteDownvote

The kids section is very crowded weekdays and even though the cafe tables are for customers of the cafe only people still steal the seats so don't try to sit and eat her with your kids.Upvote1Downvote
Virginia StanickSeptember 10, 2011The reviews from other sources were RIGHT. NICE LOOKING B&N STORE, incompetent, unhelpful staff (except my cashier, who finally located my held book, put under a misspelled name).UpvoteDownvote

Get coffee @ the Starbucks on the 2nd floor for a much shorter wait than down the blockUpvoteDownvote
There's no Music/Movie section. The DVDs and CDs you see by the cash register are all the movies and music they have.UpvoteDownvote
I've never been offered help here, but the store is set-up fairly well, so you'll most likely not need it.UpvoteDownvote- Donna YeeYickFebruary 28, 2012If you have a Nook you can get a hour of free reading in the store .UpvoteDownvote
