Was there on Friday. The Starbucks area was not busy but it took a long time to get a coffee and a sandwich. There were three people behind the counter and the area where they make the coffee was a mess. They were friendly and nice but they need to make their customers a priority.
Knowledgeable staff, many of whom stayed when Border's closed. If they don't have what you need, they'll order it. Lovely cafe and sometimes live music. Also, author signings.
Not many bookstore's besides local Library's in the area This bookstore is apart of Fairfield University and it's local and a great place to visit for a variety of books. Although the store space is limited, what they offer is a great experience, helpful staff and if your looking for something, they have it or will get it promptly.
Lovely bookstore with very efficient and helpful staff. They were available for any questions and so incredibly nice. With all the ebooks it was so nice to walk around and smell that awesome book smell. Layout made it easy to find what you're looking for. I could've spent an afternoon there.
Very nice staff and a tidy place. Not quite as big as the campus store but definitely closer to me. They have all the things you can think of, from actual books to a coffee shop and Fairfield U merch!
A spacious two story bookstore with a Starbucks inside. A great place to spend kill some time and look for new books to read while walking around downtown Fairfield.
A note to avid readers: the bookstore appears to carry mostly newer books.
The woman who works in the children’s section upstairs is rude and not friendly to the children. Constantly giving mean looks as the kids are sitting at the little table reading books. Should not be working in the children’s section.
I have to say I always drove by, and never stopped in. I attended lecture there last night and was impressed. They have a Starbucks inside and plenty of books to look over. Quiet atmosphere and great employees.
Typical academia, mostly lib titles on the tables up front, despite a large collection of recently published conservative-leaning titles available. I guess fair and balanced presentation of ideas is not the goal.
A nice little book shop. The folks at the Starbucks were also kind and helpful. It’s a perfect place to browse as you wait for your table to be ready at one of the restaurants on the street.
A good, wide selection to chose from. It's a regular book store like Barnes and Noble now and has a good coffee shop as well which is quiet and relaxed. Also Fairfield U paraphernalia.
They ordered the wrong book and insisted there was not a 3rd edition...they ordered the 2nd edition. A few hours later, I received a phone call saying that they found it on Amazon...which I had initially recommended but the employee insisted he had searched it several times.
He finally found the book online and ordered for me. If I can find a book with a title and author, shouldn't an employee at book shop be able to do the same?
Good food. Long wait. Reservation time came and went. Good service though once we were seated. A price fix menu if you are into that. Cheaper prices probably cause for larger crowd.
Not great selection of books (like B&N), except for the nice children's section, but I love the cafe and the people who work at the store and the cafe.
This is a wonderful book store in the heart of Fairfield Center. It is owned and operated by Fairfield University so you will also find some Fairfield University branded merchandise here. There is a Starbucks inside and free Wi-Fi. There is a table upstairs which is a great place to meet a group of people.
