Resort wear, fine jewelry, gifts and fudge for the family
Reviewed By kathycalwell61
My family had visited the Topsail and loved the Topsail Trading Company. It was my kids favorite place to go. Love the bubble gum machine with the hope of free fudge and my daughter loved to play the piano. I had a little hiccup with an order at Christmas. I called and the woman who waited on me was lovely. Not only did she refund my money, but when I got back after a trip at Christmas - to my complete surprise was my fudge order in full!! How wonderful was that!! Now that is superb business. I will be ordering again and again and again....☺️

Anytime I see a popcorn shop, I have to stop. This one was really nice and there were lots of flavors to choose from, in addition to some drink mixes and candy. I choose three flavors and all were delicious: strawberry with a chocolate drizzle, sea salt caramel and a old bay type savory popcorn. The shop is small, but does the job. You should try it out.

Top Sail Island is a laid back beach community with lots and lots of uncrowded beach and a number of decent restaurants. You won't find amusement parks or other touristy stuff here, but if it's beach, food and relaxation that you crave, this is your place.
