Barnes & Noble and Dylan's Candy Bar Books Versus Sweets

Barnes & Noble The Grove puts books across three floors, with manga, novels and vinyl in the mix. Its upper level adds a cafe and views of The Grove, giving the bookstore a second point of interest beyond the shelves. Make this the choice for books and a cafe rather than candy displays. Browse the sections that match your reading interests, then consider the upper floor before leaving. The address is 189 The Grove Drive in Los Angeles.

Dylan's Candy Bar centers the visit on nostalgic treats, international sweets and colorful bulk candy. Gummies, ramune and personalized gifts give the selection a different focus from the bookstore. Choose this shop for sweets and candy gifts rather than books or an upper level cafe. Compare the available confections before making a selection, with the displays serving as part of the browsing experience. The shop is at 6333 W 3rd St in Los Angeles.
