Vegan soul food classics like tofu catfish & mac n' cheese
"The soul food here has never harmed a soul: It’s all vegan. These days, the spot currently offers online orders for pickup. Vegan Soul offers just-as-tasty plant-based versions of comforting soul food favorites such as hush puppies, “catfish” tofu, and smothered tempeh." - Serena Maria Daniels
"When this establishment landed in Detroit in 2012, Detroit Vegan Soul was considered a game-changer for vegans in the area looking for flavorful cuisine, but without the meat. These days, the spot is available for online orders. The menu is filled with veggie versions of comforting soul food favorites like hush puppies, “catfish” tofu, and smothered tempeh. Many of the options are gluten-free, soy-free, and certified kosher for customers with more specific dietary needs." - Eater Staff
"Detroit Vegan Soul is a magical place where vegans and carnivores can get together and at least agree on one thing: the hush puppies are amazing. Come here with someone who doesn’t believe tofu can taste good or your vegan friend who won’t have to ask for any substitutions for once. We’re partial to the sandwiches, like the BBQ tofu and veggie burger, but everything is good here and will likely be one of the healthier things you’ve eaten in a while." - sara barron, sam faye
"Detroit Vegan Soul in Grandmont-Rosedale is accepting online orders for curbside pickup. The menu is filled with veggie versions of comforting soul food favorites like hush puppies, “catfish” tofu, and smothered tempeh. Many of the options are gluten-free, soy-free, and certified kosher for customers with more specific dietary needs. For folks that want to live vegan without all the cooking prep, the restaurant now offers meal subscriptions. The restaurant first opened in 2013 at 8029 Agnes St. in West Village. While the original location has shuttered, founders Kirsten Ussery and Erika Boyd have succeeded in bringing nutritious, plant-based cuisine into the local lexicon, and are continuing their mission at their location on Grand River." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Founded in 2013, Detroit Vegan Soul bills itself as Detroit’s first all-vegan soul food restaurant and opened on an empty block on Agnes Street in West Village; co-owners Kirsten Ussery and Erika Boyd later opened a second location in the Grandmont Rosedale neighborhood on Detroit’s west side. I found the menu notable for plant-based takes on traditional soul food — specifically the flame-broiled seitan steak rolls and the cornmeal-battered tofu “catfish.” The pandemic hit the business hard: the co-owners closed temporarily in March 2020, briefly reopened in August 2021, and in January 2022 announced the permanent closure of the original West Village location." - Eater Staff
