Clean, bright, well designed bookstore for shopping vibe. It has a decent apparel selection, but I was there to find a zip hoodie, which they had none. Everything's overpriced, but nobody would expect anything less, right? Kind and helpful staff. They take mobile payment.
I go to school here and have had many pleasant experiences. Recently I had an issue with a book purchase that was very stressful, but Maygen and the whole staff were incredibly helpful and patient. She made the process easy. Huge shout out to Maygen! One of the best university bookstores I've been too!
This is a nice place to get Columbia souvenirs to flex that you or a family member are at Columbia. Definitely worth buying an umbrella with the logo. It's a subtle flex.
Fairly priced items. Easily accessible from the street.
Nicely appointed landscape and design. An environment for learning in the middle of a major metropolitan global city.
Not too bad, could do to have more engineering/physics specific merchandise and could also have something like a fleece blanket instead of only knitted ones. Other than that a good place for students but more catered to tourists I'd say (not a very large school supplies section).
Great store for textbooks, supplies, and Columbia clothing and accessories. The store employees are well-versed in the products offered and are quite friendly.
The bookstore also offers an outstanding curation of books on the history of New York, its neighborhoods, and most residents. I have entered this store countless times for one thing and walked out with a wonderful historic read.
