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.

Truly the best southern food I’ve had since going vegan 16yrs ago. Everything was rich and delicious but the yams and cornbread really stood out and I’m not local but already talking about taking a trip down here just to get them again. Atmosphere and service was great. I will say I ordered online and it said the pickup would be 30 minutes but it was ready within less than 10 minutes so plan accordingly. Everything was very clearly labeled for dietary needs which was super helpful but one thing I would like to see is at least one dressing, like Caesar, that could be offered soyfree because I would have loved a salad of sorts to go with the meal.

Best vegan food! First time visiting this place and couldn’t wait to try it, definitely did not disappoint! I had the BBQ plate with mac and yams, still drooling over it! ( I am visiting from California where there’s vegan/vegetarian food at almost every corner but nothing compares to this place! Really loved it!)

i mean I had high expectation but wow did this place not only meet them but surpass them exceptionally!!!!
The server Ashlee at the register (sorry didn’t know how to spell their name) was so kind and sweet and really assisted in giving us the full rundown of the menu.
The biscuits cornbread and Mac have to be the best I’ve had as a vegan, it genuinely was so moist and delicious!
10/10 recommend try as much as possible and the prices are great for the quality of food and they do student discounts!!!

This is going to be a lengthy review and I appreciate anyone who decides to read it all.
Yesterday was the first time I been to Pure Soul.
I was having a really bad day. My baby was having a difficult time and was crying on and off for an hour. Every time I would settle her and try to go back inside to order my food, she would start crying again.
My first experience with this restaurant started with the patrons. The kind of people that come into this establishment are such caring, amazing individuals. There was someone sitting at the table inside and my baby starts crying again and I start to walk outside. The patron stopped and asked me. “How can I support you?” I turned to them and I said, “I don’t think that there is anything that you can do in this situation but I appreciate you seeing me. What I needed in this moment was to be seen.” They then said, “I see you. You’re not alone.” Even the people outside that were eating weren’t bothered by my fussing baby. Sometimes it’s very difficult for me to go out without fear of someone being disturbed by my baby existing.
I finally order my food and Azure greets me with a smile and politely listens as I tell them about my difficult day.
In order from left to right, I end up getting:
* Sticky sweet potato cake (I think I messed this name up lol)
* Sweet potato pie
* Pecan bar
* Sweet potato fries and the mushroom Swiss burger
I’ll preface this by saying I’m an omnivore but back in the day I was vegan. I now have a dairy allergy.
Dessert first because I’m an adult:
The sweet potato pie is classic. Flaky crust, warm spices. Great, firm texture from the filling itself.
The pecan bar meets me in my dreams at night. Flaky bottom, chewy filling, crunchy pecans on top. Perfect ratio and definitely satisfies the sweet craving without it being sickenly sweet!
The sticky sweet potato cake is my absolute favourite. Not too dense, has those fall spices and nice sponginess from the cake.
Burger Time
The bun on the burger is delectable. Perfectly soft, but the outside crust has enough “give” to sustain the heft of the burger. Sautéed mushrooms and onions are amazing. The Swiss? Perfectly melted and has that “bite” like regular Swiss has. The homemade pickles are light, crisp, and refreshing. The ranch also gives a brightness that complements the burger well.
Andrew stopped by my table as I was eating to ask how everything was going and we had a great conversation about food and life.
They pay their employees a livable wage so they don’t have to rely on customers’ tips!
I could go on and on about this place. I have rarely ever been to a restaurant where the name lives up to everything. From the staff, decor, food, AND the patrons. I am excited to become a regular here!

Last week I ordered food from Pure Soul for the first time to celebrate two of my colleagues’ birthdays. I have to admit, when I told them it was vegan, they weren’t exactly jumping for joy but once they started tasting the food, they were pleasantly surprised and immediately wanted to know where the restaurant was located!
The food was really, really good. I personally enjoyed the “fish,” tartar sauce, and cole slaw, everything was flavorful and well-seasoned. The order was ready on time for pickup, and the staff was very friendly and professional.
I also truly appreciated how affordable it was to feed 10 people. That’s not always easy to do! Pure Soul delivered excellent soul food with a delicious vegan twist.
I definitely plan to return in the near future and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for flavorful plant-based options.
Thank you, Pure Soul, for your friendliness, professionalism, and amazing food. Keep up the excellent work!

Great food with great customer service. First time eating here and I enjoyed the food that I had. The food came out nice and hot, and the appearance was outstanding.

Feels like finding a hidden restaurant even though they’re well established and famous. Delicious food, try the pulled BBQ sandwich. Good portion sizes. Also they would not accept tips, happy to support a business that pays staff a living wage.
