If you want to have souvenirs of any kind from Miami and Miami Beach, then you have to go to…read moreAlvin's Island store at Lincoln Road. They sell a lot of varieties of souvenirs like clothing, home decor, plates, ref magnets, key chains, and a lot more. You can also buy beach wear and beach accessories and necessities, and surf items in this store. The beach is just a few minutes walk from the store. Their products are good, a lot of selections, and great value for money. Check it out!

Vacationing in the Panhandle for many years, I am quite familiar with the Alvin's Island stores, so…read moreI knew I would have to swing through to pick up a few t-shirts for the fam back home. This Alvin's is located adjacent to the Loews Hotel and is overwhelming in size and inventory. Hundreds of shelves spanning the store filled with shirts, sweatshirts, bathing suits, towels, hats, etc...lining the walls is where all the tchotchkes are housed. Pricing is hit and miss, but shirts are buy 3 get 1, and with most shirts being $12 - $16, that isn't a bad deal. They have snacks up front and several other random items. Service is non-existent, even at the register honestly. They were not rude, they just didn't engage at all. As mentioned above, the store is super overwhelming and can become a bit much when more than a few people are on any given aisle. I was able to get what I needed, so I'm thankful for the short walk and nice haul.

Loved the style of the clothing in this place! Glad I found this store during my Miami visit.read more

While the store has all the typical souvenir merchandise that one can imagine, it lacks…read moreorganization and customer service. Also the merchandise is super cheaply made, but priced at an average of $15 per t-shirt. Upon entering, we witnessed two teenage girls running out while stealing. Another member of our party, who was waiting outside, also saw the same girls running out with merchandise and laughing. The store alarm went off and nobody seemed to care, so we shrugged it off and began shopping. We wanted souvenir shirts for everyone in the family. Unfortunately, if you have a stroller, good luck, because the kids clothes and kids merchandise is located upstairs. No strollers can easily access the second floor. My husband volunteered to make the two story journey upstairs. When he got up there, everything was so unorganized that it was difficult to find anything. The toddler sizes are not labeled toddler, they are labeled by months even through the toddler stage. We had to ask for help because it was so disorganized and oddly sized. A staff person did go up and help assist, but proved to be unhelpful. While my husband looked through the mess upstairs with the sales person, security approached me and attempted to make small talk. It was weird and unwelcome. Especially considering that multiple customers witnessed the two girls stealing from the store a few minutes earlier. You'd think security would actually do her job.

I speak Spanish and ofcourse, she didn't know that and said she was sick of the lady next to me already. When I questioned why my items were $34 the first time she rang them and then she rang them again and they came out to $45 she was visibly annoyed and dumped everything out of my bag to show me there were 5 items rung up and that it matched her screen. There's no need for all the rudeness. If This wasn't my last stop and I didn't have to buy my employees something from Miami Beach I would never have given my hard earned money to that place.

This little shop looks little from the outside but it's pretty spacious inside. Has a lot of anything you would want and a shop between refreshments in the front little candy station then they have some necklaces and charms then as you go to the back that's where you will find the Skateboards surfboards and skimboards. Very helpful and friendly staff more than happy to help me find the products I needed. A good wide variety product names, not to mention alot of replacement products. Ranging from Leashes, wheels,bearings,trucks and grips. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in the area of coconut grove and/ south Miami. Now price wise not the most affordable place, but not the most expensive. Most def going back to buy myself a long board for sure.

I also asked about the bungees for my bag and while they didn't have that, they told me exactly where to go to get some and explained how to ask for it. It's worth it going across town to get here because these guys are great.

There are so many crappy stores on Washington Avenue. Skip them and shop here. You are sure to find good sales. The items don't all have "South Beach" emblazoned across the front of them. Finally! Be aware at the register. I bought 2 items off a rack signed "two for $30". I was charged full price and then told I could not get a refund.

Horrible experience…read more I was very excited to go in here bc they had very cute bikinis on display. When I walked into the store and checked the prices each piece was $149! So like $300 for one bikini??!? I still looked around bc if it was really cute and worth it I would still buy it. The ladies that worked there are extremely rude and treated me as if I was gonna steal or they knew I wouldn't buy anything. They were also rude to my sister who planned on buying something until their behavior. I read the other reviews and I'm just appalled that this is a pattern.... I wonder what they look for when they hire because it seems like snotty, rude, judgmental, and racist people.
