Using completely organic ingredients, the Method Juice Cafe offers a healthy alternative option for your daily drink.

The Method Juice Cafe, located at 718 W Riverside Ave, uses 100 percent organic ingredients to make fresh and healthy smoothies and juices.  Fruit and vegetable juices provide a viable alternative to more common drinks such as coffee. Drinking fruit and vegetable juices provides a much easier way to consume large quantities of the health-packed foods, allowing for a more concentrated form of nutrition.  Use of primarily raw fruits and vegetables ensures that customers are able to get their juice or smoothie in the most natural form possible.

Contrary to the goals of many businesses, Amy Robinson, manager at Method, says that the cafe’s main mission isn’t necessarily to create revenue.

“We really want to help nourish people’s health,” Robinson said.

The cafe uses primarily raw fruits and vegetables in all of its products, because of the added health benefits of raw food.

“We feel that it’s the most natural way to eat,” Robinson said.

Robinson says that fruit and vegetable juices are often easier to consume than fruits and vegetables themselves because of the large volume of the vegetables in their normal form.  Simply put, you’ll get full.

Method also offers smoothies for those who prefer a little more substance to their drinks, as well as rice bowls, salads, and assorted snacks.

Rich Spies, a frequent Method customer who says he visits the cafe around three times a week, says he loves the juice.

“It’s excellent,” Spies said.

Spies also believes that it’s important that foods be organic and non-genetically modified foods.

“We need to know what we’re eating,” Spies said.

Jordan Leach, another frequent patron of Method, says he has been visiting the juice cafe two to three times a week, almost since it opened in August of 2012.

“It’s fast, and it’s one of the healthiest options,” Leach said, “There’s nothing else like it.”

Leach says he enjoys supporting local businesses, an enjoyment he is able to fulfil with his stops by Method.  Leach also likes the emphasis Method puts on the environment; he pointed out the compost bin, which was almost full, compared to the trash bin, which was almost empty.  Indeed, everything Method gives you is compostable, from the cups to the straws.

Method employee Liam Rogalski describes what Method offers as, “All gluten free, mostly raw food that helps you get your body to a better place.”

Liam also says that Method attempts to buy ingredients from local farmers whenever possible.

Method has also attempted to draw in customers by making a modernized website featuring a full menu. The online menu allows a potential customer to view each juice or smoothie offered, it’s ingredients, and the individual health benefits of each ingredient.

Juices like “The Daily,” which includes jalapeno juice, allow for more interesting and flavorful juicing experience than can easily be had with most homemade juices. Many juices also feature ginger for flavor.

Method Juice Cafe offers, according to its customers,an extremely healthy and amazingly tasty alternative to your daily coffee.
