Yelp.com Review - by Ann L.

4.0 of 5 stars. We went to Borders since I had a FREE coupon to try any Seattle's Best Coffee drink, last day 5/6/09. I got a Hazelnut Syrup latte that's $3.20, but FREE for me. It tasted sweet and not very strong....

short of staff by Rebecca Y. at InsiderPages

The store provides a silent place for the customers to study, to read. However, no matter what time I went there, it's hard to find a staff to help me to locate the materials I wanted.
