Soul Cafe is a family owned and operated business and is a much needed edition to Olympia for food and drink. You will leave feeling nourished all around. From the kind and knowledgeable owners and staff as well as what you eat and drink. I had such a wonderful experience. The water bottles and to go tea bottles they are selling are so cool! I had planned on saving half my sandwich for my son, but finished it long before I got to him on the ten minute drive. Great art, great vibes, great energy. Such an awesome place for many occasions- to study, meet with friends or just go have a lunch date alone. If you aren't vegan Soul Cafe may make you reconsider with all of the wonderful options. Great variety of things whether you want a smoothie, juice, sandwich a snack etc., all made with love goods. You will not be disappointed if you go

The cashier was super sweet, and the live music gave it a great community feel. My cardamom rose latte was the best I’ve had downtown, and the panini was perfectly seasoned and delicious. Highly recommend!

It took a *little* bit longer than I expected for the food to be made but, otherwise, there's nothing I could complain about. The sandwich I had was amazing, and I wish I wasn't just visiting Olympia so I could have explored the menu further. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is eclectic and fun. :)

This place is an absolute hidden gem! Shall be our families new favorite sandwich stop. We had the Raspberry Grilled Cheese with added chicken, Chicken Avocat, and the Legends Tofo Banh Mi. These sandwiches were loaded with flavors! The patio is so relaxing. They have a lovely sound bath playing from the speakers as well as birds chirping. So zen. The staff are kind and friendly. Cute little shop, too. We definitely will be back.

What a really soulful atmosphere tons of plants and playful lighting and decor. Food was really yummy as well. What a great find. Right next to a nice park. Enjoyed the chicken panini and the Reuben vegetarian sandwich (not traditional, but well done) Reasonable pricing Great friendly service Could enter directly or through shop next door.

The uplifting energy and feeling of comfort in the Soule café is a special part of downtown Olympia. The service staff are sweet and feel like family. The food is just like homemade, tasty, healthy and made with loving attention. There's a schedule of fun, relaxing, energizing ecstatic dances. It's appropriate for anyone who would just loves to move and let go in none judgmental, sober, accepting environment. The music is a wide variety of songs created by experienced DJs played over a high-quality surround sound speaker system. It's appropriate for people of all ages, families and spiritual paths.

We were passing through town and Soul Cafe is the perfect stop. Their vibe and aesthetic is so cozy and the food was delicious. The owner Prism was so kind and thoughtful. Great service and such a warm, cozy place that felt like home. They have live music play here too!

What a gem Soul Cafe is, with a unique, welcoming, unassuming vibe. The gluten free buns and their luscious fillings are so comforting and savory. The food after two visits here in 2 weeks, earns 5 stars on its own, but there is much more to love about this place. The owners and staff truly have heart in the game, and their warmth and kindness matches the delightful flavors of the comfort on a plate they serve. Food was not 'spicy hot,' yet they clearly are masters in the use of flavorful, aromatic spices, fermented foods, herbs, and blending of flavors. Soul is the perfect name for this place as it is nourishment for your tummy, eyes, heart and soul.
