The Salty Acres Café
County Commons, Rio Grande – where the tide is always on the menu
We harvest the Atlantic Ocean just minutes away, turn it into snow-bright flakes and bold blends, then let it ride shotgun on every single thing we serve. Open the door and the ocean walks in with you.
DRINKS – caffeinated or chilled, always kissed by the shore
- Salted Caramel Latte – Espresso and house-made salted date caramel swirled with steamed milk, crowned with a whisper of our chocolate chai sea salt
- Mo’s Peanut Butter Cold Brew – Cold Brew blended with peanut butter and a sprinkle of cacao salt that tastes like a boardwalk Reese’s grew up
- The Kai – Ocean-blue spirulina, coconut water, lemons, agave and a dash of sea salt flakes.
- Good Vibes – Carrots, oranges, lemon, apples, ginger, dash of sea salt flakes: sunshine in a cup
- Classic Smoothies & Açaí Bowls – every bowl gets a drift of crunchy sea salt flakes because fruit loves the ocean too
FOOD – breakfast, lunch, whenever
- Avocado Toasts – thick sourdough, smashed avocado, olive oil, cracked pepper, and a snowstorm of our plain Cape May sea salt that blooms the second it hits your tongue
- Açaí Bowls loaded with homemade organic granola, fresh fruit, and that signature salty finish
- Big Bright Salads – local mixed greens, quinoa, homemade salted honey vinaigrette
- Salted Brownies – fudgy edges, molten chocolate chip middle, sprinkled with flaky sea salt while they’re still warm; one bite and you hear waves calling
- Chocolate-Chip Salted Cookies – classic dough, chunks of dark chocolate, finished with our chocolate chai sea salt so every bite is sweet, salty, summer
From the first sip of a salted caramel latte to the last crumb of a salted brownie, you’re tasting the same water that rolls up on Cape May this morning. No fake stuff. No factory. Just Rio Grande’s coolest corner, wide-open doors, sandy playlists, and a whole lot of ocean in every pinch. Nestled behind Tractor Supply, inside the Studio Fit and Cape May Dance Company.
So.... pull up, kick back, and get salty with us.

Elevate Your Plate & Your Vibe
One pinch of Salty Acres sea salt doesn’t just wake up your food; it brings the Cape May shore straight to your tongue. Sun-evaporated the slow, natural way, every flake is packed with trace minerals the ocean left behind (magnesium, potassium, a whisper of the Atlantic itself).
So go ahead: finish that summer tomato, rim that margarita, or sprinkle it over dark chocolate. You’re not just seasoning… you’re tasting the tide and giving your body a little love from the sea.
Flavor that hits like a wave. Health that feels like a beach day. That’s the Salty Acres difference.
As featured on :
“Straight from Cape May waves to your table. Go plain or ride the flavor tide ~ it’s always better a little salty.”
Catch the pure taste of the Atlantic with our Cape May-harvested sea salt. Keep it classic with our Plain Salty Acres Sea Salt ~ the perfect finishing flake for every beachside bite. Feeling adventurous? Dive into our handcrafted blends and let the shore-inspired flavors roll in like the tide. Either way, at Salty Acres it’s always okay to get a little salty.
Our Story – Born from Cape May Waves
It all started with barefoot mornings on the beach and a deep love for the wild Atlantic that kisses Cape May’s shores. We couldn’t get enough of her magic, so we decided to bottle it, one grain at a time.
Every batch begins with buckets of raw ocean water pulled straight from the Cape May coast. We bring it home to our sun-drenched greenhouse, filter it gently, and then let the Jersey sunshine and salty breezes do the rest. Over eight to twelve slow, lazy weeks the water evaporates under glass, just the way nature intended.
As the tide pulls back, two kinds of salt reveal themselves: bright, crisp sea salt flakes that beg to land on your dinner plate, and soft, mineral-rich magnesium we save for soaking sore muscles after a long day riding waves.
From the Atlantic’s edge to your table (and your tub), every pinch carries a little piece of the Cape May shoreline. That’s the Salty Acres way: sun-kissed, ocean-made, and always just the right amount of salty.

Why our sea salt?
Sustainably Harvested with Local Atlantic Ocean Sea Water
Our locally-sourced sea water from the Atlantic Ocean & solar evaporated process ensures sustainability.
Keeps You Hydrated & Reduces Fluid Retention
Unlike regular table salt, our sea salt actually keeps you hydrated while also decreasing fluid retention.
Balances Electrolytes & Prevents Muscle Cramps
Sea salt, which contains essential minerals like sodium and potassium, can help prevent muscle cramps.
Great for Your Skin
Sea salt is rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which can nourish the skin.
Improves Digestion & Nourishes Your Adrenal Glands
Sodium is involved in the activation of certain digestive enzymes, including amylase, which helps break down carbohydrates.
Regulates Blood Pressure
Sea salt can help reduce blood pressure when consumed in moderation due to its balanced sodium-to-potassium ratio, which supports healthy blood pressure levels.
Featured on ABC's Localish
"From the sea to your salt shaker, a 3rd generation farming family in Cape May, NJ, is hand-harvesting salt from the Atlantic Ocean for your bathtub and dinner table. Greenhouses that used to grow vegetables and flowers are now using the power of the sun to evaporate salt water."

From the kitchen to your bath
We pull the Atlantic in buckets, let the Cape May sun kiss it dry, and split the treasure two ways.
Up first: those crisp, snow-white flakes that make grilled fish sing, avocado toast pop, and chocolate caramel feel like a sunset on the jetty. Straight-from-the-ocean flavor, no processing plant in sight.
Then there’s the softer side: pure, mineral-rich magnesium salt we set aside for late-night soaks. Drop a handful in the tub after a day of waves and wind; feel the same ocean that seasoned your dinner melt the salt (and the day) right out of your muscles.
One harvest. Two rituals. Endless summer vibes, whether you’re sprinkling it or sinking into it.
Salty Acres: where the tide belongs on your plate and in your bathtub.
