Must visit in Columbia - Edit
Every time I have visit Columbia, I have to hit up this place! The food is so good! The people are friendly and they have vegan cake!!! The Mac n Cheese and purple cabbage are a must!!! The only con is that they have limited hours but that’s because it so good!!!! The parking lot is also small but I have always been able to find a spot. They also text when your order is ready!
Read morePros: Yummy southern comfort food, Desserts, many flavors of cake!, Ready for pickup quickly!

Would drive an hour every week to get this food! - Edit
We love the sandwiches, vegan mac and cheese, and, oh my goodness, the cake!!! Best vegan chicken sandwich and cake I have ever had! The batter on the “chicken” is amazing! Every time we go there, I cannot wait to go back! They are so friendly as well and make you feel valued as a customer. #Veganuary

Best in Class! - Edit
The absolute BEST food in South Carolina is right here! 10/10 across the board: food, customer service, consistency, pricing vs portions, and quality.
Read moreI tried as much of the menu as I could within my time in the area, but wish I could've tried even more of their breakfast offerings. I enjoyed everything that I had from them, but I certainly had my favorites.
My obesessions -
CHKN SANDWICHES:
I tried the bakon ranch chkn (without the ranch) and the Nashville Hot sandwiches. I was immediately impressed with the chicken patty, which was thin and surrounded by a thick, seasoned breading. Personally, I don't like thick fake meats that are chewy and heavy with gluten. Their execution was perfect in every way. I do wish there was a vegan mayo option, especially for the Nashville hot, but their house sauce was an acceptable substitute.
WAFFLE FRIES:
Only sold as a side order for @ $7, but the portion is HUGE! Seasoned and fried to perfection, these are a must try!
VEGGIE PLATE:
You can order a plate with 4-6 options, which is a great way to try several side orders. I loved the purple cabbage, greens, and white/northern beans. The plate is heavy! They do not skimp on the portions and I love it!
BREAKFAST:
Baby... Fluffy, buttery pancakes, buttery grits, hash browns, scrambled Just Egg, and that bakon, bakon, BAKON. Literally OBSESSED with their bakon! It is THAT delicious, and some of the best vegan bacon that I have ever tasted. Another kudos is that when I purchased extra syrup, it came in a legit size; not 0.02 oz of syrup for $5 (as I've experienced at other spots).
DESSERTS:
I tried a LOT desserts, y'all. Their cakes give that rare, "Oh My Gosh! This can't be vegan!" reaction. The cakes are moist, soft, and buttery, and the buttercream icing is heavenly sweet.
My standout dessert obsessions are
1) CARAMEL CAKE. Best vegan caramel that I have ever had in my 16 years as a vegan. Extremely creamy, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth caramel. Whew! I'm ordering a whole cake next time.
2) KEY LIME PIE. The best key lime pie on earth is right here. That's all I'm gonna say about that there.
FRESH JUICES:
I was obsessed with the Pineapple Ginger juice and ordered about a dozen of them over time. The ingredients were very fresh and the ginger was strong, just like I like it.
The menu changes daily. It's carry-out only, but they have a large outdoor patio area if you'd like to eat onsite. (And there is also a restroom inside to wash your hands first.)

Vegan deliciousness - Edit
Everything they serve is delicious. Breakfast platter with scrambled eggs, bacon and grits to the omelette to the biscuits and gravy. Chicken thighs are crispy, good and filling. Lima beans are untouchable. Butter pecan cake is scrumptious. It's always worth my one and a half hour trip. I can't wait to take my girlfriends there.

Tried this place out when they were at the August 2023 Georgia veg fest. Friendly people, and awesome food. I will definitely be on the lookout for the restaurant when I hit Columbia. I had the Nashville hot crispy chicken sandwich.

Good but expensive - Edit
They serve mainly sandwiches which were take out only when we went. The sides were a bit sweet for my taste but still good, and the meal portions were very large. Overall good, but in my opinion a bit on the expensive side.

The New King - Edit
As Good Life Cafe has now alienated its vegan comminity by adding omnivore options, I have decided to crown this place my new favorite vegan restaurant. To be honest, it was hard always choosing between either this or Good Life, but I applaud those who own A Peace of Soul for staying true to their vegan roots and always serving marvelous burgers, fries, and mac-n-cheese. This place has wowed me multiple times and I hope to go back soon, as it’s been a bit now since I’ve eaten here.

Just divine! - Edit
It’s just that delicious. Hands down, the best chickn sandwiches I’ve ever had. The mac&cheez is out of this work. And not to mention the purple cabbage! Drooling! I typically order pick up and my order is always ready fast and hot. Always a treat when I’m in the Columbia area

Great food and service - Edit
The food at this restaurant was really good. I was also very impressed with the fried “chicken” sandwich’s texture. I ordered the fried “chicken” sandwich with 2 sides, Mac & “cheese” and collard greens. I also ordered a side of kidney beans. Everything tasted great but the collard greens were sweet which I did not like.
Read moreMy husband had the same fried “chicken” sandwich with 1 side, French fries and he ate all of it.
Also, I placed my order online and it was waiting and ready for pick up when I arrived.
Pros: Everything is vegan, Great texture “chicken” sandwich, Friendly staff and food was ready to go
Cons: Collard greens are sweetened

Worth the visit! - Edit
If the Peace of Soul food truck in your city, make the stop! We live in Charleston and have made the trip to Columbia a few times just because. If you follow them on Instagram and wonder if the food tastes as good as it looks, it does! Omni hubs loves the cabbage and chickn sandwiches. We both love the Mac and get it every time. If we don't order dinner platters, we order extra sides with our sandwiches. Make this a regular stop, y'all

My favorite - Edit
This restaurant is currently take-out only and you can order ahead online which is highly recommended. I’m a frequent customer and I’ve never been disappointed with the food here. It’s always fresh, tasty, and the customer service is ALWAYS great. My favorite is the fried “chicken” sandwich. Everything is awesome and I highly recommend this place to any and everyone! My non-vegan family members LOVE this place and that speaks volumes!
Read morePros: Black owned, Location is perfect , They accept cash app payments via online ordering
Cons: Parking lot is small and gets congested quickly
