I was visiting my sister in Roanoke and she told me about these amazing boutiques. I was excited to…read morestop in Bittersweet. They had cute clothes but I did not like how I was being treated. For starters they were watching me like a hawk when I was trying dresses on. Once I was done, I decided to be helpful and put the clothes back. After I did that, one of the workers asked me where I put the clothes. I told her I put them back, and then she proceeded to check all the pieces that I tried on. Then as I was leaving, they called me back in asking where I put the one dress because they could not find it. I walked right in and found it in 30 seconds and I felt like I knew the store better than the employee. I understand that they have a job to do and have to make sure people do not steal but I felt judged the moment I walked in. I felt like I was accused of stealing and if they are so worried about people stealing then put sensors on their clothes. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 star is because they had cute clothes.

When I saw the price tag I put I back because I did not think it was worth the price. I do not have an issue with spending a lot of money on clothing, but I want to buy quality pieces that will last. The entire time the owner watched us like a hawk and when I went to try on a top she started to call me and my friends poor within earshot. I have never felt so disrespected. We said something to them and they looked completely unbothered about being rude.

This small, locally-owned boutique is located in the corner of Church Ave and Market Street in the…read moreheart of Downtown Roanoke, Virginia. The meaning of its unique name is " affectedly or pretentiously elegant or refined in manners or tastes." It carries eclectic, one-of-a-kind bohemian, classic, and casual clothing for men and women from around the world, including handmade frames, candle holders, leather shoes and boots, and handmade jewelry. The staff is very helpful and make you feel at home. It's a good place to find basics and the prices are reasonable. The clothing is comfortable and stylish, and I love the styles.This business that has been around for almost 30 years has a fantastic selection of unique items that you won't find anywhere else. I went to visit and was very impressed with the boutique's decor from the entrance area outside the main door to the interior design and distribution of their merchandise. Weather you are looking for something for yourself or a one of a kind gift for a family member or a best friend, I highly recommend you give them a visit. The staff there are very friendly and helpful, and they surely will assist you in finding that special item.

We learned about the store from the visitors center and it was definitely a good suggestion. The owner is a former flight attendant and she has jewelry, purses, scarfs, clothes and a number of other things from all over the world. On top of that she does an amazing job providing money back to the local community. There is one section of the store that is filled with star jewelry. Part of the sale of this jewelry goes the local community to help local homeless youth and their families get affordable housing. The owner is truly passionate about the cause and helping the community where she works and lives. This connection just makes you feel even better about buying from this store. The jewelry is super cute too! If you are in the area this is a must stop!!!

Located on the ground level of Tanglewood Mall, the store looked exactly as pictured, and was chocked full of scrubs of ask different sizes, brands, styles, materials, and colours. ++ Amazing variety of scrubs, and there are catalogues to look through to customize and order in exactly the set that you want. The owner lady was knowledgeable and helpful, and I bought my top of the rack but ordered in pants. Once the order arrived they called and left a voice message, and I picked up from the store. There is at least one bargain rack of scrubs where everything is on discount. Although I didn't need to buy any, they also have shoes (albeit expensive at mostly $100+), small equipment, and accessories, such as name badge clips. I found the pricing affordable, for my Cherokee top ($13.99) and bottom ($14.99). - - At in-store checkout they asked for my email address, saying if I spend $100 they'll send a discount coupon. Within three weeks, I got my first unsolicited advertising material, and unsubscribed right way. I'd certainly go back, but this was not a great end to what was otherwise a great shopping experience.

It took days to get ahold of someone to give me an update and when I finally did, they informed be that they wouldn't be in until the middle of November at the earliest.

He was very nice and I will definitely go back!

There is an uplifting and positive vibe to the merchandise curated by Jane, the owner/buyer. This is further reflected in the kindness and courtesy of the management and staff.

Masks are required and social distancing is easy to maintain. I love the personal attention and pampering. This is a great shop to get a unique gift for someone who is hard to shop for.

I initially came to the Valley View Mall to hang out and walk to a Vietnamese restaurant that was…read morenearby. Ultimately, I didn't walk there and ended up staying put. The Valley View Mall is a nice little commercial area that can entertain many individuals and families in the Roanoke area. I arrived here on a Friday morning in March 2026. The mall itself was one large building with 2 stories of stores, restaurants, and a small food court, which wasn't open when I was there. I arrived around 10am but it was semi deserted and nothing was really open at the time. Hardly anyone walking the mall on a Friday morning until it was closer to 11am. I walked around the mall to check things out and finally found restroom facilities that were open. 90% of the mall was non restaurant merchants, which is typical of these types of shopping centers. It is one of 5 major malls in Roanoke. I was happy to see two of them during my stay, including this one. The Valley View mall was large enough to walk around for about 15 minutes to get from one end to another. The mall itself was nice and the ambiance was pretty good. I don't know if there was any WiFi connectivity or that the air conditioning was on at the time. I did see the mall janitorial staff making their rounds that morning. Probably the only activity that morning besides me walking inside the mall that March 2026 morning. Outside the Valley View Mall had a handful of various restaurants including Panda Express. I ended up eating brunch over there during my time there. It was quite quick and convenient instead of walking to the aforementioned Vietnamese restaurant a mile away. Also in walking distance is the Regal Valley View Grande theaters, where it was a nice place to kill time and watch the latest movie title. The Valley View Mall is a nice place to spend time when you are on vacation, even if it was for a couple of hours passing through. The overall experience here at The Valley View Mall was quintessentially a quiet place to where you can shop and dine in Roanoke. This mall is one of a handful of shopping venues in the city. The mall itself has a wide but limited variety of retailers that offer a lot of options for your daily needs. It's too bad that the theater is not inside the mall where you could walk but needed to drive there, but other than that, there are convenient options for restaurants and food options within walking distance. There are not many seating areas here, so best bet would be to come prepared. Sitting in your car or maybe lean against the wall while you wait for your meal being prepared are a couple of ways to avoid sitting on the concrete floor if you can help it. The mall itself is very clean and maintained daily by the mall maintenance staff. Still, it was a cozy place to hang out in when you are not wanting to really go anywhere and you don't have a rental car. It's a place where you can enjoy yourself and not be too bored, unless you're not the shopping type. There's something to do here for anyone and everyone, residents and tourists alike. Recommended if you are looking for something to do while passing through Roanoke or have nothing to do on your day off of work. It really is a nice place to chill. Too bad about the theater being a far walk. At least it's walkable and have parking lots available. The Valley View Mall is located near the Roanoke - Blacksburg regional airport. It's actually 1.3 miles if you wanted to walk from the terminal out towards the mall. It's physically located at 4802 Valley View Boulevard NE. As far as parking goes, you have a lot of parking spaces here for y'all to park and enjoy the mall. As for me though, I took the local bus from Grandin Village to the mall, which took 2 buses with a stop at the 3rd street bus terminal. I got lucky enough to where when the 1st bus arrived and I got off, my connector bus pulled in 2 minutes later, so I didn't have to wait too long. Many bus routes seem to network to and from this 3rd Street Bus station terminal, so if you were to fly into Roanoke airport and want to come to the Valley View Mall, your 3 choices would be to walk 1.2 miles, uber, or take the bus all the way down to 3rd street and bus it north to the Valley View Mall. There's no bus that will connect you from the airport to the mall directly. For the most part though, the Mall is a good place with plenty things to do, but not before 10am in the morning. Roanoke tends to be a sleepy town before noon. Best thing to do is plan accordingly and come here when you can. It's a nice place to chill and grab your lunch and dinner here as well as do some shopping. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B

I…read morehadn't been to a mall for a while and it's always fun to explore one that isn't familiar to you. Pulling in I was excited to see there was an Old Navy, so I knew there would be at least one place to stop. As I was parking, and I may be making this up in my head, but I saw a guy walking out with and Express bag...it had been a minute since I was in one of those (spoiler alert, Express was going out of business). Made my way inside and was impressed by the size of the space. Even though malls are trending downwards, this one was holding onto tenants better than some malls I have been in. Yes, there were stores closing up shop, the aforementioned Express, but there were stores thriving in here, Old Navy. I did a lap around both floors, stopping in both that I mentioned. I do have to admit, since Express is closed and writing a review for it is null and void at this point, but I got some pretty good deals, up to 70% off. Oh, the nostalgia that came flooding back to me from my college days. I see this place holding on and changing like most malls are doing right about now. I just checked the website for this place and they do have some stores that have or are moving in. I did not venture to the outdoor portion of this mall as I saw no need to.
