100% of dishes are made from 
scratch. “If I had to single out 
two dishes, I would say our 
ancient grain salad is a hot 
seller,” he explains. “It features 
a combination of savory and 
sweet and contains healthy 
ingredients while being glu-
ten-free and vegan.”
Another dish that guests 
enjoy, Shomer continues, is 
the cinnamon swirl French 
toast: “Our cinnamon swirl 
challah is made by our sis-
ter company Dakota Bread 

Company located in West 
Bloomfield. It’s dipped into 
our batter and served with 
organic maple syrup and fresh 
berries.”
Also popular, in the sum-
mer months in particular, 
are brewed Starbucks and 
Chazzano Coffee served over 
ice, which Shomer says are big 
hits in the hotter weather. This 
summer also sees Soul Cafe 
expanding its patio dining 
with two greenhouses avail-
able for private dining.

“OUR CINNAMON SWIRL CHALLAH 
IS MADE BY OUR SISTER COMPANY 
DAKOTA BREAD COMPANY ... IT’S 
DIPPED INTO OUR BATTER AND 
SERVED WITH ORGANIC MAPLE 

SYRUP AND FRESH BERRIES.”
