Souper Jenny

Souper Jenny is a hidden gem café in Decatur that deserves all the love it gets. From the butterfly wall to the old books and bright décor, this place radiates positivity and peace. You can tell the staff care, every dish feels handmade and intentional. We tried the chicken noodle salad and the couscous with roasted veggies, both so fresh and balanced, it’s clear they use top-quality ingredients. It’s rare to find a restaurant that feeds both your body and your soul, but Souper Jenny does just that. Plus, they give back through The Zadie Project, which helps provide meals for Atlanta families in need. If you’re on the hunt for a local Atlanta restaurant with heart, this is it. Perfect for lunch dates, cozy meetups, or when you just need a bowl of something good.

We had this place on our favorites list and we finally got a chance to stop in. This place is huge inside. It looks like they sell some clothing in the front and there’s wide open lounge space. They close at 4 PM and in between 3-4PM, It’s only to-go orders which was fine for us. They were putting the to-go orders out hot so we were able to try these soups hot or we would’ve been fine taking it home to warm up. We wanted to try the turkey chili, but it was sold out on this cold Saturday before the ice storm. She said they made several pots of the turkey chili, but it sold out first. We got the vegetable soup and the ginger chicken soup along with the naan bread. I got the vegan tiramisu dessert and one of their house dressings. They had a few other interesting desserts, quinoa, side dish,

I love - more than anything else in the world - places like this that source local goods, showcase community-made food, and donate to those in need. Plus, the person at the counter was so nice when I had asked about the available dessert selections, where she walked me through the treats on display. I also liked seeing the sense of quiet community inside - it immediately appeared a comforting spot to grab a nourishing meal. Notably, it’s enormous inside, comfortably so. Would love to return!

SJ is probably the best soup and salad spot in Metro Atlanta with fresh, organic ingredients. The spot in Decatur is dope and has a chill vibe with plenty of space to sit. If you try regularly, you will definitely see the same customers because it is that GOOD. The food is wonderful with great salads, awesome soups, and very satisfying sandwiches. The menu changes daily but typically will have a popular item more often. I love their Kale & chicken Caesar salad and chicken noodle soup. The service is excellent, patient, and customer friendly. The facility is clean and also connected to eclectic clothing store. It’s very popular too. With that, I highly recommend Souper Jenny- Decatur; however, remember this isn’t Panera, so their prices are a little higher. But trust, it’s worth it. I w

I don’t give a lot of 5-stars, but this deserves it. Might just become my favorite lunch stop. Great soups and chili, salads and sandwiches. You order cafeteria style and sit in the delightful open dining area that is a combination of tables, chairs and sitting room furniture!!! The turkey chili is outstanding with a nice amount of kick, along with what might be the best corn bread I have tasted. The fruit and salad fixings are absolutely fresh… along with the complimentary bread. I’ll be back soon to try their sandwiches. Very friendly vibe throughout the place. Nice to eat off china plates verses plastic of styrofoam.
