About: Our goal is to create a vegan fast-food experience that offers kindness and cleanliness in creating savory soul food! We hope people take away feelings of communion and belonging, as well as support in their journeys with food. No matter the dietary restriction or perception of life, we welcome everyone we meet at Pure Soul to experience what we call kind comfort food.

We offer dine-in (indoor & patio seating), takeout, third-party delivery, and catering. All food and beverages prepared by Pure Soul are packaged in 100% compostable to-go containers, along with compostable utensils and napkins. We compost all food scraps and appropriate packaging & waste through Compost Now. We have compost bins on-site for customer use–we kindly ask our customers to consider helping us reduce our contribution to landfills.

We are also proud to announce our partnership with Duke Athletics! A vegan diet helps build strength and maintain physical and mental wellbeing. Through our partnership, we aim to provide some of Durham’s best athletes with vegan meals that are cleaner for both the body and the environment, and cruelty-free at the same time (not to mention delicious!).

Episode:

“If you’re not growing, you’re dying”. We all seek fulfillment and the gratification when achieving goals. But how often do we tap into our Purpose. That thing that is hard to define but easy to visualize. We often have the conceptualization of purpose but its likely a journey and not a destination. Defining our purpose to critical to existence. Achieving goals may not help you find the purpose of life, but knowing your purpose can help you

 achieve your goals. When you truly know your purpose, you’ll experience a sense of clarity like never before as you’re able to connect what you want to achieve to your ultimate fulfillment. You’ll feel passionate, driven and laser-focused. You’ll stop battling with the past and the future and start living in the present – and that’s the greatest gift you can give yourself.
