Barnes & Noble 131 Colonie Center, Albany, NY 12205

"Have always loved Barnes and Noble. It's a great place to walk around and browse. There's always things to catch your eye. This particular store is much larger than my hometown store, so it was much more interesting than my store. My store, like many other small stores, has been going downhill for a while. I like tech books, and they are down to a small section of a shelving unit from their opening section of rows of shelving units. Larger stores like this location definitely have better selections. This is a very busy store as it opens to the outside on one end and the mall on the other end. Worth checking out."

"It’s a Barnes and Noble! What’s not to like? Except you never know if the alarm is going to go off when you leave the vinyl/music section with an item…it’s set up SO super weird for YEARS now. Also it’s pretty bad that the Starbucks inside doesn’t accept Starbucks gift cards…so if you’re trying to have a Starbucks and Chill day inside B&N by using your gift card, THINK AGAIN!"

"Barns and Noble has always been my go-to bookstore, especially since Borders closed. The store is well stocked, organized, and the staff are very helpful. I’ve never had a problem finding something, whether online or in store. Love the Harry Potter section, and saw that they had some signed copies or the book Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and his newest book in the series."

"I honestly love the Barnes and Nobles. They get five stars from me. I’ve been coming here since I moved here over a decade ago. I love to read and I appreciate that they are still around and make physical books. The staff is pretty nice. I haven’t had any negative interactions with any staff. The store is clean, updated with new books and stuff. My review is more for the Starbucks within the BN. I love their snack selection. I really wish more Starbucks carried options like these. My dilemma is that they don’t restock the items and that’s saddening- which is why I rate them 3 stars. I’m not sure if that’s an organizational decision or location decision but it’s midkey frustrating. I love pastries, so far this place had fairly decent sized and tasty options. Anywho, the staff is awesome they are always kind and helpful. They move relatively quickly for the amount of people that come in the store. I would definitely recommend stopping in and bringing the kiddies too. They have a beautiful kid section for books in the Barnes and Nobles. I’ll be sure to update pictures soon."
