Herban Soul Café—Revolutionizing the Way We Experience Herbs.
About Us
Owner / Founder Alexis
Born and raised in Selma, Alabama, Alexis Kimbrough saw firsthand how poverty, food insecurity, and limited healthcare access impacted mental and physical health in her community. Witnessing loved ones struggle with depression, anxiety, heart disease, and obesity, she was inspired to pursue a career in mental health and wellness.
She earned a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Social Work from the University of West Alabama in 2016, later moving to Birmingham, where she worked as a personal trainer and mental health case manager. Through her own wellness journey, she discovered the healing power of herbs and recognized the need for flavorful, health-conscious options in urban communities.
This passion led to the creation of Herban Soul Café—a brand that redefines how we see, taste, and experience herbs in food and beverages. Now, as she studies to become a Herbal Tea Practitioner, Alexis remains committed to bridging the gap between wellness, culture, and community—one sip and bite at a time.
"Food is more than fuel—it’s medicine, it’s culture, it’s connection."
— Alexis Kimbrough, Founder of Herban Soul Café
We love Earth’s Medicine - Herbs, Fruits, & Vegetables
The Story of Herban Soul Café
Herban Soul Café is more than a brand—it’s a revolutionary way to experience herbs in food and beverages. Rooted in the belief that wellness should be flavorful, accessible, and culturally rich, Herban Soul Café redefines what it means to nourish the mind, body, and soul.
The journey of Herban Soul Café began with a simple yet profound realization: health-conscious food and beverages should never lack flavor, culture, or soul. Within the café and coffeehouse industry, there was a noticeable gap—herbal teas were often an afterthought, overshadowed by coffee and boba tea. Many food offerings were either overly processed or lacked the vibrant, bold flavors that people craved. Most importantly, there was little representation of urban culture and diverse wellness experiences in these spaces.
Herban Soul Café was created to fill this void by offering a holistic approach to food and beverage that celebrates herbs, culture, and community. Every product, from our handcrafted herbal tea blends to our thoughtfully curated food pairings, pastries, and plant-based treats, is designed to be both indulgent and good for you.
Beyond food and drink, Herban Soul Café is a cultural experience—a space where music, art, and wellness converge. Our brand embodies the rhythm of soulful beats, poetic expression, and creative storytelling, infusing a deep sense of culture into everything we do.
A Movement Rooted in Herbs, Wellness, and Culture
Herban Soul Café isn’t just about what’s on your plate or in your cup—it’s about how food and herbs make you feel.Every sip and bite are crafted to nourish not only the body but also the mind and spirit.
Our mission is to:
- Revolutionize the way we see, taste, and experience herbs in everyday food and beverages.
- Make health-conscious choices flavorful and accessible for the urban health-conscious community.
- Foster a space—wherever you are—where culture, wellness, and community thrive together.
