Barnes & Noble Returned to Costa Mesa

In case you missed it, Barnes & Noble opened a new flagship store at South Coast Plaza in August, bringing the bookseller back to Costa Mesa.

The 27,000-square-foot space sits on the upper level of the mall and revives bookselling in a location that once housed Borders and, more recently, Sports Chalet. Inside, shoppers will find an extensive selection of books, exclusive gifts, a curated collection of toys and games, vinyl records, a newsstand and more.

The store also features a Barnes & Noble Café with an outdoor patio and sweeping views, a nice spot to settle in with a new read.

Open daily 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

3333 Bear Street, Suite 340, Costa Mesa.
