Soulful Smoothies Cafe

05/31/2026

With a grateful heart, we want to share that June 19th will be Soulful Smoothies' last day of business.

When we opened our doors, our hope was simple: to bring healthier food options to our community and create a welcoming place for people to gather. Thanks to all of you, Soulful became so much more than that. It became a place filled with conversations, friendships, celebrations, and countless memories that we will cherish forever.

We are incredibly thankful for every customer who stopped in, every family who made us part of their routine, and every bit of support you've shown us throughout the years. You helped make Soulful what it was, and we are deeply grateful.

Come by and help us celebrate the memories that made Soulful special. We'd love to share one last smoothie and a few final conversations before we close our doors. If you have any remaining gift cards, please be sure to use them by June 19th.

Thank you for supporting our dream, our small business, and our team. While it's bittersweet to say goodbye, we will always be grateful for the community that grew around Soulful Smoothies.

With love and gratitude,

Kristin 💛

❤️ A Heartfelt Message from Soulful Smoothies ❤️

After a great deal of thought, I’ve come to a decision that has not been easy to accept. After 3 years of pouring my heart into Soulful Smoothies—into every smoothie, bowl, wrap, panini, conversation, laugh, and connection—I’ve made the difficult decision to close our doors.

This decision breaks my heart. Soulful Smoothies has been so much more than a restaurant to me. It has been my creative outlet and little corner of joy. But more than anything, it has been a place where I’ve gotten to know you—the families, kids, regulars, locals, neighbors, and visitors who made this café feel like home. The relationships and bonds I’ve built here will stay with me forever.

As many of you know, it is incredibly difficult for a small, independent restaurant to survive in today’s economy. Between rising costs, construction, and increasingly inconsistent customer traffic, the margins have become tighter and the uncertainty heavier. I have tried everything I could to keep this dream thriving. But at the end of the day, my family deserves stability, and I have to make a choice that secures a better financial future for them.

This has been a gut-wrenching decision, and it comes with a lot of reflection. I am deeply grateful for every single person who has supported Soulful—whether you stopped in once, or whether you were here every week. You helped create something truly special, and I hope you felt the heart and intention behind everything we did.

While my chapter is coming to an end, I still believe deeply in what this place represents. If anyone has ever dreamed of owning a café or carrying this concept forward, I’m open to conversations about the business and equipment being available for purchase. Inquiries can be sent to [email protected].

We also want to gently remind anyone holding a Soulful Smoothies gift certificate to please use it while we’re open. Your continued support during this time truly matters.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this journey… for supporting local, for cheering me on, and for giving Soulful Smoothies its soul. 💛

With endless gratitude,
Kristin
