Slice of Happiness: 30A’s Beach Happy Cafe Serves Up Southern Baked Pie
Pie in paradise!
In a scrumptious new culinary collaboration, 30A’s beloved Beach Happy Cafe has joined forces with the renowned Southern Baked Pie Company to bring an exclusive array of gourmet pies to the beach-loving community of Scenic Highway 30A. This delicious partnership marks the first time Southern Baked Pie Company—famous for its mouth-watering, buttery concoctions—has teamed up with a retail partner along Florida’s iconic coastal road.
Founded by Amanda Wilbanks, an alumna of the University of Georgia, Southern Baked Pie Company has gained wide acclaim for its delectable all-butter pie crust and an impressive selection of both sweet and savory pies. Using locally-sourced ingredients from Georgia farmers, these pies boast flavors that have captured the hearts and taste buds of pie enthusiasts across the South.
“I first met Amanda 5 years ago when she came to my yoga class at Studio Thirty-A, before Beach Happy Cafe was even open,” said Shannon. “It’s amazing that the friendship has now turned into a business partnership built around our love of food and community. All it took was for Chris to have one bite of Amanda’s Key Lime Pie, and he knew we had to offer them at Beach Happy.”
“I’m so excited that we can now bring our delicious pies to 30A! They carry all the sweet pies: pecan, chocolate chess, French coconut custard, and key lime, and we’ll have the savory pies for sale very soon!” said Amanda.
Nestled at the main intersection in WaterColor, Beach Happy Cafe provides the perfect, sun-soaked setting for this delightful new partnership. Since its opening, the cafe—created by Chris and Shannon Kramolis—has become a vibrant hub where locals and visitors gather to soak in the laid-back vibe of 30A, with the sound of the Gulf providing the perfect soundtrack. The cafe serves up an array of exceptional food and drinks, including Amavida Coffee, locally-sourced ice cream, fresh pastries, wraps, sandwiches, smoothies, boba tea, and ice-cold refreshers (which can even be topped with your choice of alcohol). For those looking to toast to a day on the beach, Beach Happy Cafe also offers 30A Beach Blonde Beer and wine —making it an ideal stop for a bit of post-beach refreshment.
But Beach Happy Cafe isn’t just about the food. It’s also the ultimate destination for official 30A gear and merchandise. Visitors can browse through exclusive apparel made from recycled plastic bottles, stylish 30A hats, eco-friendly drinkware, suncare products, sunglasses, beach toys, and even 30A’s very own hair care line, Saltie by 30A. Whether you’re looking for a memento of your visit or just need some essentials for a day by the waves, Beach Happy Cafe has you covered.
With Southern Baked Pie Company’s signature pies now part of the experience, Beach Happy Cafe invites everyone to indulge in a variety of flavors—from classic Southern pecan to sumptuous chocolate chess—each perfectly paired with the cafe’s robust coffee and tea offerings. It’s a match made in beachside heaven.
This partnership isn’t just about pie—it’s about bringing together authentic Southern flavors, local traditions, and a genuine sense of community, all while embracing the relaxed, joyful vibe that makes 30A so special. Beach Happy Cafe and Southern Baked Pie Company are here to spread that “beach happy” spirit, one slice at a time.
