🧀 Sidekick Soda Lands at C’est Cheese

C’est Cheese—Asbury Park’s charming, women-owned cheese shop—just got a sparkling new sidekick. Literally.

We’re thrilled to share that Sidekick Soda has officially landed on the shelves at C’est Cheese, a specialty food haven serving up artisan cheese, charcuterie, and curated groceries with heart and flavor. Whether you’re building a next-level cheeseboard or hunting for your new favorite snack stop, this spot is the place to be.

🧀 Meet C’est Cheese

Tucked into 516 Summerfield Avenue, C’est Cheese opened in 2024 and quickly became a local gem. Founder Tina Haskopoulos, a longtime food pro, created the kind of shop she always wished existed: inviting, accessible, and packed with world-class cheeses without the pretension. Think: cheese flights, picnic-perfect pairings, and neighborhood vibes.

From creamy brie to truffle salami, everything in-store is selected with care—often from small producers, many of them women-owned. Which made it the perfect home for Sidekick Soda.

🍒 Why Sidekick?

Sidekick Soda is a fizzy rethink of what soda can be:
✅ Low Sugar (just 3.5g per 100ml)
✅ Sweetened only with honey
✅ Real fruit, real ingredients
✅ A splash of raw, organic Apple Cider Vinegar for gut-friendly zing

No stevia. No erythritol. No weird aftertaste. Just clean, bright refreshment in flavors like Cherry, Mango, Pear, and Strawberry. It’s soda you actually feel good drinking—whether you’re pairing it with Manchego or sipping it solo.

Born in New Zealand during lockdown by a mother-son duo (shoutout Fiona & Rogie), Sidekick Soda is proudly women-owned and driven by sustainability—using upcycled fruit like ‘seconds’ pears and cherries from the New Zealand Cherry Rescue Project.

🧀 + 🥤 A Perfect Pairing

We couldn’t think of a better combo than creamy cheese and crisp soda—especially when both are made with intention and integrity. If you’re local to the Jersey Shore, pop into C’est Cheese and grab a few cans for your next picnic, dinner party, or beach day.

Your cheese board just got an upgrade.
