Barnes & Noble At Lsu

«Barnes and Noble on LSU’s Campus». This Barnes and Noble is enormous and the café area is probably the nicest one I have seen in a long time! The first floor has a ton of LSU items and the Barnes and Noble items are upstairs. It’s easy access to campus and the LSU Student Union. There is parking in the back (pre-​pay). I wish the other Barnes & Noble bookstores around town were as nice as this one. I could easily stay at this one all day, but it seems like it is for students and staff to hang out it. Honestly, I felt kind of strange for being there because I wasn’t a student nor was a faculty member. When I am in the area again and need a place to work quietly or get a cup of coffee at a luxurious coffee shop, I will come here. Need LSU memorabilia? Come here, they have plenty!

The café situation improved for a while but is now back to «normal,» which isn’t very good. Avoid the café on Mondays. They tend to be out of many things: whipped cream, cream cheese, etc. Also, the donuts, despite being a breakfast food, don’t show up until well after they open. So if you are thinking of getting coffee and a donut before your 7:30am class, go somewhere else.

Not really a fan of this location. You can tell it’s a college campus one for sure. The prices are higher here than my own college book store and there’s never any help when I try to find someone to help me look for certain books that aren’t on the shelf I need.
Didn’t go to the café. But it looked empty and the person behind the counter looked just as empty. Eh.

All of the books are a huge rip off
The food downstairs is pretty good though.

Barnes and Noble: has a sweet sales cart with 75% off books. I’ve saved over $ 100 on stuff I wanted to buy anyway thanks to this cart! Everything else is standard in this Barnes and Noble. I try to avoid looking at the clothing and LSU paraphernalia, since it’s RIDICULOUSLY expensive. Do yourself a favor and wait for sales!
Café: I’ve gotten janky coffee before, and that’s a bummer, but I don’t necessarily expect them to mess up my order. Grab a punch card if you’re on campus a lot, you’ll get your 10^th drink free!
If you desperately need caffeine and/​or you’re poor/​cheap/​frugal, I recommend Highland Coffee all the way! I’d rarely pick the bookstore over Highland, and if I do, it’s only for convenience.

Great as a Barnes and Noble. Has a Starbucks, Clinique, and lots of LSU merchandise. As for help with finding textbooks-​forget about it…
