The Juice Pod is excited to announce the opening of a second Sea Isle location, on the corner of 43rd Street and Landis Avenue. The shop will join other Juice Pod locations at the Jersey Shore, offering its classic treats in addition to a small grab-and-go section.

The new location has everything from savory toasts to classic smoothie bowls. The store also offers a flurry of base options, including açaí, coconut, pitaya, and mango.

The Juice Pod owners Danielle Leonhardt and Christine Wyatt first opened the business in 2016. Their second storefront in Sea Isle City is their 18th location overall, including a number in Pennsylvania. The other Sea Isle location is on the Promenade at 43rd Street.

“The Sea Isle community really favors The Juice Pod and we wanted to serve them in a quicker and better way,” Wyatt says. “We wanted to offer the community another space to enjoy.”

Don’t forget to stop by The Juice Pod for a quick bite! To start your day right, grab a pre-beach smoothie or bowl.

Barefoot Bowls has opened on the Promenade, offering poke bowls filled with protein and veggies, and fresh açaí bowls topped with fruit. It also has a variety of grab-and-go options. In addition to poke and açaí bowls, the shop has chips and salsa, yogurt parfaits, and nachos with guacamole.

Owner Mathew Guest is excited to have Barefoot Bowls join the businesses dotting Sea Isle’s boardwalk. He has years of experience in the restaurant industry and a degree in business management.

“We are looking to provide a lighter and healthier option on the boardwalk, something a little different than what is already there. I checked the unit out, saw the footprint that was there, and thought that it might work,” Guest says.

“My favorite part is the customers. I get to meet a lot of people that are passionate about fresh food, and the view of the ocean’s not so bad!”

Looking for some good eats? Look no further than Barefoot Bowls! Stop by for a beautiful view of the beach, but stay for the poke.
