Barnes Noble Cafe - Bowie

I ordered the Maryland soft shell crab platter, which came with two soft shell crabs. They were absolutely delicious! I also tried the Veal Parmigiana, and it was excellent as well. The prices are moderately high, but definitely worth it.

This is a corporate bookstore with an extensive selection of books. The place is always clean and features a partial Starbucks. The bathrooms, however, show signs of the store's age. If you can't find what you're looking for, they offer the option to order it.

This store is fantastic. It's clean and well-organized, with a wide selection of books available, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The best part is that I can bring my son, and he can truly enjoy the experience. Local libraries haven't really met my expectations, but this Barnes & Noble has a lovely children's section. The books are positioned low to the ground, making them easily accessible for young kids, and there's also a toy section. I appreciate that the toy section is on the other side of the store so it doesn't distract from the books. We spent a significant amount of time in both areas, and we managed to stay there for nearly two hours without running out of things to do.
