The Hilltop Store
The building was first constructed in 1924. It had a market garden at the rear which grew vegetables for the shopfront. Over the years it has seen many faces in its long-standing tenure within the coastal town of Sawtell.
A refurbishment by the Hilltop Team brought it back to life in 2018. Nestled at the top of First Avenue five minutes walk from the main strip, The Hilltop Store began servicing the community as a licensed cafe, serving award-winning Single O coffee and a delicious food offering for breakfast and lunch seven days a week.
