I am not a vegetarian or vegan, however this is the ideal place if you are!!
My standard order are their delicious Soul Rolls 😋 and the fresh lemonade 🍋 which is incredible! Never disappoints!
Have a diverse selection of desserts. Have had a couple of different desserts, pie 🥧 and cookies 🍪. Yum! 😋 😋😋
Customer service was warm and very friendly! Greatly appreciate their kind and attentive staff.
The inside is very earthy with lots of nice plants. 🪴🪴🪴 Inside and outside seating are available. Atmosphere is pleasant (really not my taste-I perfer modern minimalist).
Definitely continuing to patronize!! -
I’ve been to Pure Soul three times now, and even though I live just over an hour away, it is absolutely worth the drive for me. Honestly, I’d make the trip just for the meal alone.
The friendliness of the staff, including one of the owners, Andrew, has been consistent every single visit. Each time I walk in, I feel genuinely welcomed, like I’m sitting down to eat at a family table rather than a restaurant.
I’ve brought someone different with me each time, and without fail everyone is blown away by how good the food is. So far I’ve tried the shrimp hoagie, almost every side dish, and several appetizers. My family has even ordered takeout through me, and every single person has loved it.
And the homemade pickles… did you know they sell jars of them? Because they do, and they’re incredible.
The people, the food, the vibe. I love all of it. Pure Soul is something really special. -
Just here to second all the other stellar
reviews. As a vegetarian Southerner, I so rarely have the opportunity to enjoy Southern cuisine so thoroughly. The food here is satisfying and delicious. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Durham from the food to the vibes to the service. Incredible experience. I cannot say enough good things about Pure Soul. -
Pure Soul is such an amazing space. I recently went there and tried the gluten free, soy free fish option with black eyed peas and sweet potato fries and it did NOT disappoint! In addition the customer service and the vibe is consistently exceptional. I was served by the assistant manager / co-owner Drew and he was super friendly and helpful. I’m not even vegan anymore and he made me want to add this place back into my regular lunch rotation. If you’re in Durham, you need to give them a try! -
Such a lovely place and staff. The food tastes like home cooked meals, well seasoned and filling. Portions are more than enough for a person, and there is a huge variety of dishes and sides. They also have a few deserts and ice cream. All vegan! Super recommend it.
