CJ’s Juicery specializes in fresh, cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juice. All vegan, and plant-based. Opened in January 2020, this one-of-a-kind dining spot is in Alton at 415 Ridge St., Suite A.
CJ’s Juicery features rotating daily specials including soups, bagel sandwiches, and other vegetarian favorites. Owner and Founder Courtney-Jean McLaughlin opened the establishment with a vision to offer the community healthy drink and food alternatives.
“CJ’s began by specializing in fresh cold pressed juice and has now expanded the menu to include Smoothies, Smoothie/Acai bowls, Boba Tea and Fruit Lattes,” noted McLaughlin.
“I’m joining the RiverBend Growth Association to grow in the Riverbend area,” she added. “I’m hoping to gain an even better following and support from people who are also on their healing journey, like me, and need a helping hand on where to start. That’s what CJ’s is here for – to show you that eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult, bland, or unfulfilling.”
