Reviews for Barnes & Noble in Vernon Hills, IL

I was a little disappointed that this place was taken out from Hawthorn Mall years ago, but I was thrilled when this one opened... up. It's a small bookstore compared to the other but I always find some good reads. Read more

I am not one to usually write reviews I usually dismiss them, don't really find the need to leave feedback but I have never felt... more disrespected at Barnes and Nobles. This almost sounds insane but it happened.....I was doing my homework with my friendwe'd go on and off from having conversations to doing homework etc. I don't know what kind of impression we were giving off butto me we were simply enjoying time, catching up and doing homework. Around closing time, I would say 8:45 I had to use therestroom since I had ordered a drink from the Starbucks located inside. I went, but as any other 20 year old girl I spent a fewminute taking mirror pics and etc to post on social media all before closing time. After, as soon as I opened the bathroom door there was an older man (obviously worked there) who didn't say a word when I came out and just went inside the bathroom to lookaround for whatever reason he turned around and accused me of smoking. I wouldn't be posting this review if it was true but, itwasn't I was thrown off guard by the direct accusation. To a lot of people it might not seem like a big deal but its just weirdto be accused like that randomly and even before that incident I got a vibe that he was onto us for some strange reason like heonly approached our table to "check up" but I observed and he literally didn't bother anyone else just us. After that I justresponded and said I wasn't smoking but Im usually a very nonchalant person but this really got me upset like what was thisassumption based of off? Anyways I asked for his name so S/O to Frank for making false claims please make sure to fact checkbefore accusing someone just because you assume. Anyways this review is literally less then a star for him but for the ladyworking there she's so sweet.... a queen like Frank should take notes. Read more

I really, really like this particular Barnes and Noble. It is spacious and clean, has an outstanding selection of books, and an... awesome cafe should you want to test drive a book or just chill with a friend. There is ample parking outside and there's neveran issue finding a spot. I highly recommend this Barnes and Noble. Read more

Love my Barnes and Noble. My only issue is their Dungeons and Dragons selection is kind of small.

I just love the smell of books! I love the touch and I love this bookstore because it is so clean and well organized. Also I... noticed that prices were adjusted to match more amazon prices. It is a huge change since Amazon is just simply taking overeverything with offering the best deals. There were many promotions in a bookstore and we could get lots of intereting books forour daughter also. Read more

Cute, but a little bit small. Has all of the things you expect of a B&N store these days-- 60% books, 30% gifts, 10% Starbucks.... It was nice and open, however, but with an air of a bookstore that didn't want to overdo it on the books. Sci-fi/fantasy areawas only one full row of books. Read more

Visited this place to pick up a puzzle during the holiday season and found the one my sick husband wanted while fighting off a... sinus infection. The line to cash out was extremely long so someone directed us to use the cafe to pay which was nice not towait for a long time. Good lighting and Starbucks cafe inside makes for a great place to sit, drink, and enjoy your book ormagazine. Only thing is during the holiday season parking and driving is crazy because there are no stop signs. Read more

This was first time in the store since it was moved from the mall. I love the new lay out. Having every thing on one floor is... awesome. The people who work there were friendly. The person that was our checker seemed a little robotic but it is Christmastime. Read more
