This place is great. I can even forgive them for (what seems like) people who sit around their cafe for HOURS holding up the tables, with a stack of books and a cup of coffee. Some people can be so rude...but it's not really Borders' fault.
I love this Borders. The folks who work here are always cool and helpful, but not annoying "sales" types that pester you. But what blows me away are some of the sale items you will find at the "bargain" table. Just the other day I was able to pick up these top quality large, hard cover books on tv and movies that contained CDs or DVDs inside, for under $5! The original retail prices were anywhere from $25 - $40. They make excellent gift ideas. They also sell music, magazines, movies, you name it, they have it here.

This location opened only a few years ago. It is a first rate store that sells books,dvds, movies & cds. They also have a cafe that was just recently remodeled and features Seattles Best Coffees and other cafe foods.. My only beef with this location and other Borders are that people linger/loiter here reading or hanging at the cafe or in the aisles for too long. OK you want to hang out, but not for two hours(I'm exaggerating) especially if you are not buying the book or mag. you are looking at. Some magazine companies are getting wise and wrapping them in plastic now.
This store also has bargin tables in the back where books are up to 75% off (sweet)!
They are always giving coupons with each purchase also.

This is a great book store. It contains magazines, children's books, reference guides, and every type of book you could think of. Right before enter the store in the hallway they have hardcover books at amazing discounted prices. People will enjoy the coffee shop. Feel free to grab a book and coffee and take a seat and start reading. They also carry CD's. The store has headphones where you can listen to music samples! A great place to find that book for college or just to read something.

This is a nice place to go when it is really cold, snowy, or rainy. You can sit down at the cafe and enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee while reading a large selection of magazines and books. They also have nice little sandwiches and desserts. In addition, they have a punch card for your coffee. For every 10 punches, you get a free drink. They also carry CDs and DVDs. You can scan the CD and listen to a portion of the CD to make sure you like it before you buy it. Who likes to buy a CD and then you end up only liking two songs? That's a waste of money. My husband, daughter and I can easily spend a few hours in here on a quiet Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon. Also, sign up for their email newsletter and you will frequently get a coupon for 20% or more your purchase.

Borders is a laid back kind of place. There are many people sitting in comfy chairs and are just reading books. I guess it's like test driving a car. No salespersons hounding you but are very much around if you need help in finding a certain book. Their selection is huge. I really like the layout of this store.
PROS: relaxing atmosphere, huge selection
CONS:

I've gone to this store also,it is great to go there on a rainy or cold day as you can sit and really look through the books before you purchases them. the staff is friendly and helpful and i have made purchases there on some really cool books. the only downfall is that they do not have sales on books that often and i would purchase more books or music if they had more items i would like on sale.

I purchased a book at this store recently and decided to stay and read in their cafe. The staff in the actual bookstore were very good in helping me find the book I was looking for and the price was great also. The cafe area is really clean and has nice snacks to choose from . The area that you can sit down and read in is very relaxing when it is not busy. But when the store is busy you are better off going home to read and relax.
PROS: Clean, big and huge store
CONS: can get really busy
