How Kristina’s Kitchen Got Its Start

Kristina’s Kitchen began its journey in 2014 as the “Smoothie Shack,” operating inside the Mind, Body & Sole Wellness Center in Bethany Beach. 

From the very beginning, the focus was on nourishing the local community with wholesome, thoughtfully prepared food.

When the Smoothie Shack closed in 2018, the mission continued. 

Throughout 2019, Kristina kept the business alive by preparing and delivering healthy meals directly from her home kitchen, maintaining strong connections with friends, customers, and the surrounding community.

In 2020, Kristina’s Kitchen found its first brick-and-mortar home on Atlantic Avenue (Route 26) in Millville, across from Bank’s Liquors. 

The timing proved ideal, as growing demand for fast-casual, takeout-friendly dining helped the business gain momentum and establish a loyal customer base.

As the business continued to grow, Kristina’s Kitchen expanded once again. 

In 2025, the operation transitioned to a third and larger location on Reba Road, combining Kristina’s Kitchen with Kristina’s Cakery to create a new main location with expanded space, seating, and offerings. 

The former Atlantic Avenue space was reimagined as Kristina’s Kitchen Express, focused on grab-and-go items and prepared meals.

Now celebrating six years in 2026, Kristina’s Kitchen continues to evolve while staying true to its original goal: serving good food, made with care, to the people who matter most.

And their current primary location has a nice sit-in area & outdoor patio with various seating options for everyone to enjoy.
