I walked…read morein after stopping at the Starbucks in the same strip and asked if it was okay to have my drink in there. Fortunately, yes it was, because I had the best time browsing all the home decor, apparel, pet, gift, and sale items. It's a one-stop shop if you're looking to support a local business and purchase some beach-themed gifts near the oceanfront. They also had some great sales going on -- 60% off all fall merch plus 25% off holiday items. I purchased an adorable sea green nutcracker holding a starfish and gift bags. It's way prettier than that description. I also purchased cat nap pajama pants, which I'm wearing right now. They're both comfortable and adorable. Convenient location, high-quality goods, and a delightful experience. I'd return and recommend this shop.

ABSOLUTE SCAM they charged my brother $487 FOR 3 SHIRTS. 2 shirts for free and only pay for the designs. They never mentioned the prices and they STAYED around him pressuring and persisting. My boyfriend was around him and they managed to separate them so their next steps were never questioned. They had glorified both of them in weird ways and they persisted about their printed shirts. I will tell everyone right now question everything and never enter these kinds of stores alone. We were separated and that was our first mistake

Owner of the store, pops, hilariously remakes, "Who dares call you on vacation?!" So I was looking to rent a tandem family bike for 6 (4 adults and 2 kids). While Cherie's are all over up and down the boardwalk, the one closest to the Neptune statue only had BROKEN bikes (aka surreys). A quick walk a block inland and I found this joint. They totally had what I was looking for - at the same price of $40 an hr but literally threw in 2 extra hours for free! So I got 1/3 price! We biked ALL the way from 33rd st to 5th st in the BLAZING summer sun. But it was a super fun ride w the kiddos. We were singing and hollering to keep the rhythm (much like dragonboat rowers). We grabbed lunch at Waterman's (very good!) which is why we needed the extra time. Plus the fact that we didn't go w Cherie's helped bc our surrey was green whereas everyone else's was red. That made it easier for us to keep an eye on it while we are. Totally recommend mom and pop at Ocean Waves!

This store was one of the few places open at the time so we went inside to see what they had. Typical tourist gift shop with souvenir clothing, toys, beach apparel and toys, snacks, alcohol beverages etc. They're basically an all-in-one shop if you need anything from food to clothing! Of course everything has the tourist price tag though. My brother in law purchased a beach hat so he wouldn't burn up in the summer sun and that cost him a whopping $50. They definitely have some cute stuff but you'll be paying the tourist pricing for it! Cute shop though.

While I am sad and inconvenienced by Starbucks' departure, the shopping center offers plenty. CVS, Hallmark, and The Fresh Market are among my most frequent visits.

Sometimes there is confusion with other Hilltop stores at the intersection so keep in mind there is signage. The Shops at Hilltop are located on the Southeast corner off the intersection of Laskin and First Colonial. All the shops are collectively known as The Shoppes of Hilltop. However, the break it down by East and West. Customers have one access point off First Colonial and three off Laskin. If there is a drawback it's the bottleneck on the First Colonial side during rush. I have never had an issue with parking. The lot can be a bit hit or miss on debris. They do have a few security guards that patrol. I have never felt unsafe. The stores I frequent the most are Fruitive, Fresh Market, Bottlecraft, Bakers Crust, Cobalt Grille, Tino and Nectar. A few more in between as there are a lot of stores. My family enjoy the Shoppes at Hilltop and I would recommend working them in your rotation. Many are local businesses which is more reason.

I found this service and product is very much worth the value to create your own piece of art and souvenir unique to Norfolk. You can also bring your own wine, have a date night or ladies night here. I have tried a few paint nights and similar craft shops, this one is by far my favorite.
