Barnes & Noble

I love it at Barnes and Noble. It's a great place to relax , grab a great book or several, get homework/work done and think. Great selection of books as well

This is a great place to beat the summer heat in air-conditioned comfort, and to take a leak if you're in Rittenhouse Park . Oh, and you can find books for sale as well .

The Barnes and Noble cafe just serves Starbucks brand, they are not a Starbucks. I suggest getting you Starbucks around the corner at 18th and chestnut and bringing it with you.

Get a membership if you plan on buying more than one book a month. You need to spend about $250 a year to make out on the discount .

This is a great Barnes and Noble! Check out the discount books on the 2nd floor.

Great view of Rittenhouse Square. One of my favorite book stores to go to in the city . Go to their cafe , which has more on the menu than most Starbucks!

Feels like a relic, but if you're into paying more for books than you would on Amazon, this is place to do it. Decent magazine selection too.

Perfect view of Rittenhouse ???? we also found a cool version of Munchkin (for those who love the game).

Everyone is very friendly and always prepared to help you find what you want.

Picked up a puzzle from here. The cafe is open, but I save on Starbucks and bring Arizona Tea ; buy something out the store instead…

If you don't secure a seat in the cafe within 5 minutes after the store opens, you're out of luck and will need to try again tomorrow.

Place has really changed and not towards a customer oriented mood... You used to be able to sit in here but they limited it ton this really small spot! Miss being able to just sit and read!!

Staff are extremely friendly and you can almost find anything you want here.

Free internet here. If your laptop's dying and you don't mind sitting on the ground you can keep it charging with plugs on the ends of some of the bookshelves.

no place to sit in the cafe and the upstairs is just as bad. If you find a seat upstairs it might still get taken away if they're having an event . Don't bother sitting on floor Security will say move

The ppl in the café area aren't really nice but other then that a nice place to spend your time in.

Sit next to the windows overlooking Rittenhouse Sq. Beauitful!

Beautiful view of Rittenhouse if you sit by the window!

The Starbucks staff are apparently too busy conversing to remember to make your drink.

Clean up after yourself when you leave your table

Great place to take kids and toddlers to read in the city

Great atmosphere

HUGE selection up in here!

If the park is your place, these are your toilets .

Shitting in the second floor bathroom is welcome.

Usually no place to sit

Escape reality!

Great store, but don't come here if you're looking to use the Internet. It's terribly slow.
