Soul Craft Coffee

SoulCraft is the passion project of a young married couple with a dream. What was first a hobby became a passion and then a business. Tyler has always been into coffee and owns a Slayer espresso machine at home. He loves dabbling in new and specialty coffees, learning the science, and creating his own beverages for fun. In High School, he would buy vintage espresso machines off eBay with a friend, and they would rebuild and refurbish them, learning the ins and outs of how they worked. When he met and married Anna, she quickly shared in his love, and they ventured out together to try their hand at coffee on a larger scale. Together they briefly managed a small coffee shop in Baxter, and when that closed, they decided to take their show on the road. In 2017, they bought a vintage camper, converted it into a food truck-style coffee trailer, and began traveling around Cookeville on evenings and weekends.

Anna & Tyler continued to work full-time jobs and manage the coffee trailer in their spare time, which quickly became a full-time job in itself! The demand for great quality & unique coffee creations grew to the point they took a leap of faith and their entire life savings to open SoulCraft’s brick-and-mortar. The building on the historic westside that was built in the early 1900s became their spot. The build-out took a year of construction, restoration, and design, bringing back to life the original elements of the building including 100-year-old hardwood floors and exposed brick walls. A color pallet of navy blue and gold accents the Art Deco style. An open floor plan gives space for an intentional and inclusive vibe, welcoming you from the first moment you open the doors. The smell of freshly baked pop tarts and hot espresso drifts through the westside, basically begging you to come inside. In the summer of 2019, SoulCraft Coffee Shop was born!
