If you ask a typical customer to describe
the Barnes & Noble experience,
words like warm, comfortable and spacious
come to mind.

We pioneered the concept of a retail store as a community center, and our cafés are destinations for book and coffee lovers who often say, "Meet me at Barnes & Noble." And through an exclusive arrangement with Starbucks, Barnes & Noble is the only bookseller serving America's premier coffee brand.

Barnes & Noble began a relationship with Starbucks in 1993, starting with our Springfield, New Jersey, store. We now serve Starbucks in more than 650 cafés across the country. Through this partnership, we serve only the highest quality Arabica beans. Over the years, we've introduced other Starbucks favorites, including the popular Frappuccino® Blended Beverages.

Our relationship with Starbucks is a key reason why Barnes & Noble is such a popular coffeehouse destination across the U.S. And more importantly, an integral part of the Barnes & Noble experience that keeps our customers coming back again and again.
