A gourmet deli is opening soon in Ormond's beachside.
Located inside Fountain Square Village at 142 E. Granada Blvd., Suite 203, Beachside Angie's will first offer fresh pastries, homemade pies and desserts. Once owner and chef Angie Lutts completes interior renovations, the deli will expand its offerings to sandwiches, soups and salads.
Opening her own business has been a whirlwind for Lutts. She signed the lease for the second-floor space at Fountain Square on Aug. 11, shortly after taking part in the plaza's new Sunday farmer's market, having heard that there were spaces available to lease.
"I don't ever make fast decisions but my heart felt right — everything felt right," Lutts said. "The space was beautiful. The sun was setting and I could see Beachside Angie's here."
She is aiming to celebrate the grand opening of her deli on Sept. 20.
Beachside Angie's was first founded in 2021 as a pop-up. This summer was a hard one for the business, Lutts said, and after she lost her tent during an event, she looked at her husband and close friends and decided it was time to go brick and mortar.
Lutts is a member of Biz Bestie, a local women's business group, which led to her joining the weekly farmer's market at Fountain Square.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Lutts is a fourth generation chef. Growing up, her family owned a general store in the city as well as a deli. Lutts knew she had a passion — and the talent — for the culinary arts by the time she was about 14. She's been actively pursuing it ever since.
Part of what fuels her passion for cooking is being able to blend cuisines and flavors together. Lutts is a melting pot herself, having Puerto Rican, Ukrainian and Romanian heritage in her family.
"Just like a painter knows how to blend colors, she's a chef that knows how to blend flavors," said her husband, Dan Lutts. "All of her food is very savory and has a lot of depth, and it's not just separate ingredients, but they all marry together. She's a creative mind and her food reflects that creativity."
Beachside Angie's menu will be seasonal, but everything will be made from scratch, Angie Lutts said. The deli will also be available for private reservation in the evenings, where customers will receive a personalized fixed menu.
Her motto for her business? "Wow, that's good."
"The slogan is 'Beachside Angie's, now that's the place,'" Dan Lutts said. "Because we want to become a place where you can sit and have a conversation with your friend, and eat some of the best food your palate's ever tasted."
"And not have to go to Paris or France," Angie added. "You can just travel to your local area and international will be transported to you."
Beachside Angie's will be open daily from 9 a.m to 2 p.m.
