We believe in coffee as a shared experience, a small act of beauty that connects us to nature, to one another, and to our communities. Whether you’re just starting your journey or chasing the ever-elusive perfect cup, we’re here to make that experience feel welcoming, inspiring, and shared.
We're nerds, not snobs
We set out in 2014 to open a coffee shop in Greenville, SC that approached its craft, hospitality, and atmosphere with care and intention. What began as a simple mission has grown into a way of life—shaping how we see our business, and the role coffee plays in it.
It’s not just our name. It’s our approach to, well, everything.
Everything we do is rooted in a set of values we call our Methodista values. They’re the heartbeat of Methodical and they guide us every day. If you also see yourself in these values, then you too are a Methodista.
Mindful
A Methodista understands the impact their decisions and actions have on people, things, and our world. They are present and not distracted. They fully attend to what they are doing, what’s happening, and where they are. They’re diligent, but they do not rush.
Personal
A Methodista serves and connects. They are relational with our customers and each other. They use people’s names, look them in the eyes, show them grace, and give them respect. They’re effective communicators. They’re convincing and willing to be convinced. They never shame nor blame, but use feedback to inspire and encourage. They believe we can achieve better when working together.
Creative
A Methodista creates order out of chaos. They uncomplicate what is complicated and simplify what is complex. They are solutions-minded. They believe a great solution is a simple one.
Tenacious
A Methodista strives to be better. They are relentlessly compelled by the need to accomplish a goal. They work hard and are ambitious. They take initiative to push through difficulty. They learn from others, collaborate, and willingly share their knowledge and skill.
Grateful
A Methodista pursues a life of gratitude. They are aware of and acknowledge the goodness in their lives. They are gracious to others and take time to express their thankfulness through their words, actions, and demeanor. Their gratitude positively impacts their well-being as well as those around them.
What we do
Coffee
Coffee is the heartbeat of our business. We source from farms across the globe, many of which we’ve worked with for years, forming lasting friendships along the way. We prioritize producers who show a deep commitment to the health of their land and the well-being of their communities.
Our roasting approach is guided by one goal: to bring out each coffee’s natural sweetness and character. Rather than sticking to conventional labels like light or dark, we roast to express the life the coffee lived—the weather, the soil, and the place it grew.
Tea
Tea is coffee’s favorite cousin—familiar, yet full of its own wonders. Its world is rich with nuance, offering endless possibilities to discover and enjoy. We source pure teas grown with the same care and intentionality as our coffees, and we craft blends that are both approachable and layered in flavor. Whether it’s a bold black tea to start your day or a calming chamomile to wind it down, our teas are made to be with you through every season—from quiet winter nights to sun-soaked summer afternoons.
Goods
The products we make go beyond merch. From apparel to drink ware to candles, everything we create is thoughtfully designed by our team for those who share a methodical point of view. We source quality materials and collaborate with makers who care as deeply about their craft as we do about ours.
Pastries & breads
In our cafés, you’ll find a selection of baked goods made to complement your coffee or tea. From croissants and morning buns to muffins, cookies, and artisan breads like baguettes and focaccia, everything is made from scratch, fresh each day. Our team of bakers starts early to ensure every item is thoughtfully prepared and ready to enjoy.
Freshly-prepared dishes
Our breakfast and brunch menu is built around dishes that are both satisfying and thoughtfully prepared—including favorites like the Providence breakfast sandwich, avocado toast, breakfast burrito, pancakes, and more. We source ingredients from trusted local producers and focus on quality, consistency, and flavor in every plate we serve.
Hospitality
Hospitality is a feeling. Long after the lingering flavors have left your palate, what stays with you is how you felt. When we started Methodical, our goal was simple: to make every person who walked through our doors feel genuinely valued.
Our hope is that every visit or package received, whether it’s your first or your hundredth, leaves you feeling welcomed, seen, and appreciated.
