It was the fall of 2006 when Mary Beth Laxson received the phone call that would change her life forever. Cancer. She battled. It was winning, causing even more complications... until a chance encounter with the world of eating strictly plant-based changed everything. The cancer had taken a serious toll on her health, even after treatments. But when she was introduced to a pant-based lifestyle, things changed dramatically.

​

"I like to say that cancer saved my life because it led me to the plant-based lifestyle that grew into Juicy's Wellness Cafe. It changed my health. I beat cancer!"  The zeal from her new-found lifestyle turned into a career in 2010 and a true passion for helping others - through encouraging transformative healthy southern dishes that would satisfy any palette. 

​

Juicy's Cafe quickly became a local favorite in her hometown of McMinnville and gained national recognition for creating mouth-watering southern vegan dishes, desserts and juices in a hip, quaint atmosphere. After a few years of perfecting some of their signature dishes, We decided it was time to grow. Similar cafes and restaurants were starting to pop up everywhere - but they sometimes lacked in flavor.

​

Murfreesboro was a natural choice for us. "There wasn't anything like Juicy's in the area and one was definitely needed!  A lot of people think we're we're just a juice bar and we are so shocked to see our huge menu of all vegan options."

​

In fact, the variety in the menu at Juicy's rivals many, much larger restaurants... quesadillas, burgers, mac-n-cheese, peach cobbler with (n)ice cream, southwestern crunch wraps, jackfruit BBQ sandwich (try it... you'll be shocked!), burritos and so much more.

​

"We are thrilled to have received so much hospitality and support of this beautiful town and people who live here.

​

Thank you Murfreesboro for allowing us to share the love of plants and all the fun and delicious ways to serve them.  Give us a try!  Your body will thank you for it.
