Soul Craft rocks two locations in Cookeville...my favorite in the historic West Side and another conveniently located on Mahler Ave at TTU. Soul Crart on Broad St has limited seating but is a great location to relax, and I suggest giving it a try.

It is set up like other 7 Brew locations - drive through only - and my Sprinter van won't fit under the awning. I parked and the baristas were able to take my order face-to-face. A few minutes later, coffees were handed over and we were back on the road. The Blondie was, as always, perfection. Five stars this morning. [Review 463 of 2026 - 607 in Tennessee - 25646 overall]

Vibes - I really liked the interiors like just a couple of wooden tables and chairs, a shelf with books, and a little merchandise on display. The café has good street parking, which was such a relief. Bites - My husband got a bagel with eggs, and I chose a bagel with herb cream cheese. The bagels were cheap, but when I saw the size, I understood why. A bite in, I could tell they weren't the freshest. They weren't stale, just a bit drier than usual. I did, however, really like the herb cream cheese. I also ordered a mocha, which was pretty mediocre. Service - The staff was polite, though the food took a little longer than expected. I noticed some coughing while we were there, and with flu season going around, it did make me slightly concerned.
