Our West Oakland Café
Is Now Open

We’re thrilled to celebrate the opening of our Soul Blends Coffee Roasters Café in March 2025 at 3207 Louise Street, West Oakland. This milestone represents a full-circle moment, as we’ve deeply rooted ourselves in this vibrant community since our humble beginnings.

Our café is more than just a place to grab coffee – it’s a space to connect, unwind, and savor beverages inspired by the African diaspora. From our signature Moroccan Spiced Latte to refreshing teas and fresh local bites, we aim to provide a rich and rejuvenating coffee experience.

We’ve always believed in fostering sustainability, culture, and community impact, and this new space reflects our commitment to creating a comfortable, inclusively driven environment where every sip tells a story.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our coffee home and share this exciting chapter with you!

For the moms who raised us, the women who shaped us, and the memories that still bloom—this Mother’s Day, we’re holding space for them all. 💐☕️

We’ve teamed up with the beautiful folks at @browngirlfarms 👩🏾‍🌾to offer handpicked floral bouquets and greeting cards—grown right here in Oakland with love. Whether you’re celebrating someone special or honoring someone you miss, these blooms are meant to carry heart and meaning.

Buy 1 for $45 or get 2 for $80 (save $10 on the pair).
Each bouquet comes wrapped and ready, with a card included for your personal note.

—Limited quantities, so don’t wait!

Saturday hit different!!✨🎧

Soul Blends had the honor of sponsoring @studiox510 first ever Chords & Coffee alongside @butterpecanbakeshop 🍪, and the energy was inspiring. We popped up with complimentary hot + iced coffee and fresh merch on the house to fuel the morning vibes—and y’all showed up with so much love.

From live music to laughter and community connection, it was everything we believe in. Big love to everyone who pulled up and to @studiox510 for holding space for this type of magic in the Bay. 🌁

This is just the beginning. Stay ready.

From giving out coffee to fueling a movement—this was more than just cleanup. It was culture. It was joy. It was us, outside, taking care of our block together.

Huge love to @peoplesprograms @ebprec @blkearthday @kingmakersoakland @soulblendscoffee and all the folks who pulled up, picked up, planted trees, danced with the DJs @the_junior and @finishh_herrr , and poured into the spirit of this place.

This is what environmental justice looks like in the Town 💛

Still buzzing from the beauty that resonated in our space this weekend! ✨💕

We were honored to host the powerful, joy-filled @konsoncollective 📚 as they gathered to reflect on Hood Feminism by @karnythia . From the open-hearted conversations to the laughter and quiet moments of connection, every detail felt rooted in intention and community.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared space, and brought the magic. It’s gatherings like these that remind us what building better community truly looks like.

We can’t wait to welcome you back. 🧡📖

This day marks the final soft opening (5p-9p) of our evening partners, @discover_community_cafe , led by the incredible Krystle Chipman — and we couldn’t be more honored to share this space and story with her.

Krystle, a force of empathy, leadership, and vision, founded Discover to create opportunities for women overcoming barriers to employment. Her café isn’t just about coffee — it’s about empowerment, sustainability, and building a future where everyone has a seat at the table. 🌎

From her roots in collaborative philanthropy to championing circular economies and living-wage apprenticeships, Krystle’s journey reflects the kind of impact that turns spaces into movements.

As we build Soul Blends Coffee Roasters from morning to early afternoon, we invite our community to show the same love 💕 and support for Krystle and her team as they prepare for their Grand Opening next Saturday, April 12th, from 5PM–9PM. 🎉

Let’s show up for this bold and beautiful new chapter. Support local. Support community. Support each other.

Burritos Baby! 😍🌯

We’ve only been open a week since our grand opening, and the reception has been wildly beautiful. Huge shoutout to the community for riding with us as we learn, grow, and fine-tune every detail. ✨

Our gourmet burritos—crafted locally by @helladacbiet —have been the perfect grab-and-go meal with your brew. Made with bold, diverse flavors that reflect the cultures we’re proud to represent and blend in everything we do. 💛

Grab your favorite:
• Chinese Breakfast Sausage

Each one supports a local vendor, celebrates flavor, and fills your belly with intention. Come through, and taste what we’re building. 🙌🏾

We’re excited to welcome the brilliant minds of @KonsonCollective into our space for this month’s Black Girl Book Club gathering! 🌸📚

On Saturday, April 5th from ~12–2PM, our café lounge transforms into a cozy corner of reflection and conversation as we dive into Hood Feminism by @karnythia ✨ —a powerful collection calling us to reimagine feminism through the lens of justice, equity, and community.

We embark to be a part of moments like this—where forms of expression 🪄📖 become bridges, and Black women gather to learn, share, and grow. Pull up a chair, grab a cup, and let’s make space for these brilliant stories.

We never imagined just how far this journey would take us when we started Soul Blends in 2021. What began as a pop-up grew into something deeper—a bridge between past and future, pain and purpose, coffee and community. 🙏🏾

This personal letter sent to a loved one is about remembering why we started. It’s about the ones who paved the way, and the ones still walking. It’s about love, legacy, and the kind of home we’re building—together. 🤝🏽

Tomorrow, we open our doors in West Oakland. But truthfully, this piece has always been here ❣️Thank you everyone for every lesson, every reminder, and every loud or silent push to keep going.

We built this shop with many in mind. With those no longer here… With all of us in mind.

We rise tomorrow. Come celebrate with us. 🎉

With love,
Justice + the Soul Blends Family
