Right next to the cool kicks of Conkrete Sneaker Boutique, a unique coffee experience is brewing—one that blends global flavors with a deep commitment to community. Welcome to Soulé Coffee and Bubble Tea, the brainchild of musician, arranger, and entrepreneur Ezra Brown. A South Carolina native who calls Jacktown his second home. Ezra is bringing his worldly experiences and passion for community development to the capital city with the opening of Soulé's third brick-and-mortar location in the funky Fondren district.
But Soulé is more than just a coffee shop. With multiple food and beverage trucks taking the business to the streets, Ezra is on a mission to create spaces where people can connect, dream, and be inspired—just as he was in cafes thousands of miles away.
The Soulé Experience
At Soulé Coffee and Bubble Tea, the menu is a celebration of global flavors, offering crafted bubble teas, refreshers, espresso drinks, and a variety of teas that cater to both traditional and adventurous palates. However, the experience at Soulé extends far beyond the beverages. It’s about creating an atmosphere where everyone—from the curious traveler to the local Jacksonian—can find a sense of belonging.
Ezra's vision for Soulé is rooted in his experiences as a southerner-turned-world-traveler. In his journeys, he discovered that cafes can be more than just places to grab a cup of coffee; they can be spaces of inspiration, where ideas are born, connections are made, and communities are strengthened. With this in mind, Ezra brought Soulé to Jackson, aiming to replicate the sense of possibility he found in cafes across the globe.
Community and Collaboration
Soulé is not just about serving great coffee and bubble tea; it’s about fostering community and collaboration. One of the standout programs hosted at Soulé is "Brother Helps Brother" by Kimar Cain. This initiative embodies the spirit of unity and support that Soulé strives to cultivate. By providing a platform for meaningful conversations and collaborations, Soulé is helping to sow the seeds of change within the Jackson community.
And the vision doesn’t stop there. With future plans for business and community development, Ezra Brown is positioning Soulé as a change agent for people looking to make their mark in the Magnolia State. Whether it's through community events, collaborations with local artists, or simply providing a welcoming space for people to gather, Soulé is dedicated to making a positive impact.
A Space to Dream
Soulé Coffee and Bubble Tea Fondren is more than just a new addition to Jackson's coffee scene—it's a beacon of hope, creativity, and community. Ezra Brown's vision for Soulé is to create a space where anyone can come to dream, be inspired, and connect with others. In a world where genuine connections can be hard to find, Soulé offers a space that encourages people to slow down, enjoy a carefully crafted beverage, and engage with the world around them.
