Fresh Coast - Franchise
A Little About Us
We created Fresh Coast because we wished something like it existed. Our founders were tired of always having to choose between eating healthy or something with some flavor. From the beginning, everything we created was designed to create a unique dining experience – from the super friendly service, to our bright and tropical décor – and of course, our fresh, bold flavors.
Our approach quickly resonated with our community & as word of mouth spread, the lines in our small Newark shop started stretching into the street. As we continued to grow, we saw our restaurant become a symbol for a healthier lifestyle. Now we’re looking for motivated & energetic partners ready to bring a fresh taste to their own community.

"This is some of the best poke I’ve ever had – even better than what I normally eat on the islands. The staff is friendly, and the environment is warm, bright and welcoming. I will definitely be back."Marcus W.
"Crazy good!! Poké is my favorite food and it needs to be done just right....this place hits the head on the nail! Not only is their fish amazing (big chunks) but your exposed to so many new and innovative sides-Nitrogen Cold Brew?! House Kombucha?! Acai and Pitaya that taste so unreal(no gross applejuice flavor)!! And it definitely doesn't hurt that they are trendy with their art/neon sign and grass wall. Such a cool spot I literally can't wait to go back!"Brianna E.
"What a wonderful place to eat! When you walk in you're immediately presented with a tropical flare of décor…They have amazingly fresh ingredients, many similar to what you'd find in sushi, but with a tropical twist…. The staff here is beyond friendly, and they want to get it right for you. I've even had them deliver to my apartment once or twice. Their food is tasty and their customer service is spot on."Kyle H.
