Try It Raw

Try It Raw is the plant-based corner of downtown Birmingham — a bright little café on West Maple built around raw food, cold-pressed juices, and smoothies for the days you want to feel virtuous without sacrificing flavor. It’s the kind of spot that’s genuinely useful in a town heavy on steakhouses and cocktails: a clean, quick, plant-forward option when that’s what the body’s asking for.

Vegan, raw, and juice-focused, it leans healthy without being preachy about it. We have it on our list as Birmingham’s go-to for a solo green-juice reset or a light bite between errands — the counterweight to a weekend of indulgence. Grab a cold-pressed juice and a bowl and carry on with your day.
