Tucked away in the back streets of Stafford, The Soul Pantry is an urban oasis where you can escape for a coffee and cake in the garden cafe with the kids in tow, meet some friends, take in the sun solo with a coffee in hand and even take home some fresh flowers. Afterwards take a wander through the vast collection of homewares, designer wares, indoor plants and other goodies where the theme is ‘eco and green’. The vibrancy of leafy potted plants, kokedama and terrariums pop against the vivid white walls of this warehouse (formerly a panel beaters) and the accompanying nature inspired homewares. The Soul Pantry prides itself on its nursery priced plants all beautifully dressed with designer baskets, bags and pots. Terrariums inclusive of miniature figurines the likes of mountain climbers, beach sun-seekers, bird watchers and wildlife take pride of place hanging from the rafters. The Soul Pantry also offer floristry, kokedama and terrarium making workshops for all ages, all set amongst its secret botanical wonderland.

Update: The Soul Pantry’s on-site cafe and kitchen space will relaunch in early October, showing off a new look as well as a revamped bounty of brunch options. Expect lobster rolls, breakfast boards and loaded milkshakes, plus boozy brunches will be on the cards.
