Yelp.com Review - by katrina m.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is okay. They have okay coffee--but dont take my word for it since I'm not that much of a coffee person. I like their raspberry mocha though, pretty good stuff if you have a sweet tooth.…

Yelp.com Review - by Victor F.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is the first Borders I went to when McCarthy Ranch opened. I've always enjoyed coming here. It's smaller than other locations, but I've always found a lot of cool stuff here. Plus In-n-out…

Yelp.com Review - by Maye L.

1.0 of 5 stars. The staff is rude and too consumed in their own personal conversations. I stood at the computer for 5 minutes in front of two employees. They did not approach me or ask if I needed any help...they…

Yelp.com Review - by Kirin L.

2.0 of 5 stars. I don't have any wacky stories of good or bad, but I don't care for this place. I'm guessing the selection is sort of concise due to the fact that the store itself is sort of concise - in other…

Yelp.com Review - by Melissa M.

3.0 of 5 stars. This isn't the biggest Borders out there, but I think the layout is pretty nice and straightforward. Toward the back of the store is a separate room for DVDs, CDs and music books. I love their bargain…

4.0 of 5 stars. I worked here for a year or so...give it up for the McCarthy Ranch wage slaves! Having worked at 2 other bookstores within the chain, let me tell you something: Borders might be a heartless corporate…

Yelp.com Review - by Jay A.

4.0 of 5 stars. I remember coming here a few years ago, asking for 'Vapor's' Magazine. The employee I had asked said that they didn't have it in stock, and that I should check out 'Alameda Archives'. If I never asked…

Yelp.com Review - by stacey t.

4.0 of 5 stars. The first or second time I came here was after I got drinks (Jamba Juice). My dad was inside. I stood outside. Why you ask? ...because I was stopped by this superior sign telling me that there is no…

Yelp.com Review - by Christine E.

5.0 of 5 stars. I'm beginning to enjoy this Borders bookstore. It's not too big, but not too small. You can find all the latest in books, music and dvds. I also like the coffee shop area where you can study or…

Yelp.com Review - by Miz Tam T.

3.0 of 5 stars. This is the smallest Border's I have ever been to, and the most dis-organized. This could be (the disorganization part) due to the holiday season, but who knows for sure? There is a HUGE section of…

Yelp.com Review - by Amy O.

3.0 of 5 stars. Funky. Not a comfy vibe, and what's up with the music/movie section? It's separated out from the books in a different room, it almost has more space than the book section yet has hardly any inventory.…

Yelp.com Review - by Fern D.

4.0 of 5 stars. This Border's is a cool place to hang out and kill some time. Decent cafe area where peeps are usually doing homework, reading, on their laptop or something other than eating, it seems. Anyway, I like…

Yelp.com Review - by Bomin P.

5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite down time place. It's so awesome to get lost in a book, in a nice, quiet, cool environment. I always end up being greedy with the books and leave with 3 or 4 of them. I can spend the…

3.0 of 5 stars. The selection of books for browsing purposes are pretty good. I've never been without a great find or had to wait for a book because it wasn't in stock. Plus, they also have great coupons and there…

Yelp.com Review - by becky s.

4.0 of 5 stars. Weird floor layout but this is just your regular chain Border's store. They only had 4 volumes of Genbu Kaiden! =*( I need the 6th one! Great place for a manga nerd like me.

Yelp.com Review - by gfdgfd g.

1.0 of 5 stars. This is the worst Borders I've been to so far. There's this short, bald man who gets really cranky if you're not out of the store by exactly 11 pm. They flicker the lights 15 minutes before closing…

Yelp.com Review - by arnold g.

3.0 of 5 stars. This Borders is kinda crappy. The books section is cramped and it's actually smaller than the music/DVD section, which is odd. This is good if you're looking for a movie or CD. The only reason I would…

Yelp.com Review - by Emily D.

4.0 of 5 stars. First rule: Emily doesn't buy books. Emily is a librarian, and therefore is actually paid to live among free books, music, videos, etc. I am also paid to loan them to you for free. So I neither…
