Souper Jenny

I've been wanting to try out Souper Jenny's for quite some time now, and I'm so happy I had the opportunity to this week because it was even better than expected! This location is actually inside the Atlanta History Center just to the left upon entrance, and also connected with Brash Coffee Shop. It's a beautiful space, with two-level seating options and great *free* wifi if you plan to get some work done during your visit like I did. There was quite a long line that began around Noon but it moved quickly and was well worth the short wait. Souper Jenny's is fast-casual where you order at the counter, and the soups/daily specials offered that day are written out on white boards leading up to the counter which is very helpful. They offered four different types of soups during my visit, and the Miso Lemongrass Chicken stood out to me the most and so I went with it! You can get a combo with two sides, or just order a la carte. They are obviously most well-known for their incredible homemade soups, but they also offer salads and sandwiches as well. I was also lucky enough to visit on a day where they were offering a BOGO deal for the soups in their refrigerator so of course I had to take advantage and grabbed a couple bowls of their chicken chowder soups to-go which I enjoyed reheated at home. It was honestly even more delicious than the miso! I know I will be back for another visit at this or another location in the city next time I am headed south towards the city!

What a wonderful surprise inside Atlanta History Center! Food is mostly lighter fare of soups/salads, which is perfect snack while visiting the museum. My choice was the turkey chili which was wonderful, also had refreshing iced tea. Others in my group had the salads which they enjoyed. Service is simple where you order from the counter, get your order, grab a table to eat. Line at the counter can be long, but it moves quickly. Free WiFi here too. Nice decor and great location near the front of the museum.Additional recommendations: About 10 of us did 4 mile urban walk around this area with its immaculate homes/gardens. Also see my review of the Atlanta History Center for other tips.Our go to place when visiting the museum. Enjoy!

A sweet, warm, shabby chic atmosphere. The sandwiches were delicious! The model is counter service. Everyone is friendly. Enjoy

Great food that always tastes freshly made. I love swinging by here for homemade food when I don't feel like cooking myself. Very affordable for the value of food.

I'm so sad I can't remember the name of my bagel sandwich, but it was a delicious homemade bagel breakfast sandwich - no complaints.We also got one of the special French toast to share. It was like a bananas, foster French toast very delicious was very full after eating both of these. Inside is like a upgraded deli. Service was fast and friendly.

was lucky enough to host an event with the amazing Atlanta History Center recently and while checking our wonderful guests in, I got to chatting with Laurie of AHC about Souper Jenny's which is located within the building. After seeing guests go in and out of their doors while sitting at the table and Laurie's reassurance that it was really as great as I have heard, I couldn't let the opportunity pass me. I arrived literally FIVE minutes before their Sunday closing time, lucky me! The cafe/restaurant was still buzzing with happy guests sipping coffee and slurping soup, I was tempted to stay and sit but exhaustion was kicking my butt. Although there was no more soup out for scooping, the team was loading up the display case with all types of soups and dishes. Yay! I struggled to find which soup flavor to go with but feel that I would have been happy with whichever I chose. I ended up going with the Mexican Street Corn soup which was still warm when I grabbed it. The cashier was so kind and the transaction smooth. I headed out to my car and I'll admit, I started digging in immediately. Y'all. When I say that was some of the BEST soup I've ever had??? I love a good chowder, stew, chili, all of the soups. And the flavor that took over my tastebuds was heavenly. When I say I can't wait to go back? Omg. Next time, I just wont be foolish and only walk out with one quart. I need a barrel next time!

This place is my favorite weekend routine, a stop here with their rotating menu of soups, sandwiches, and salad, with honorable mentions of their different fresh baked cookies. My boyfriend and I go frequently, and love trying a different soup each time, I think my favorite though was the chicken corn chowder.I appreciate that they give information on all dietary restrictions, and have the option for take home soups and I've even seen premade dinners for 4. The service is quick because they have all the soups available and sandwiches are premade ready to pass out, and they will even let you taste test most of the salads and soups! This location is specifically inside of a museum so the vibe is very family friendly and it is always busy!

Souper Jenny has been an Atlanta institution for some time now... glad I finally got to taste the reasons why! Location and Parking Located in Buckhead inside the Atlanta History Center, parking is free. Venue and Atmosphere Lots of seating is available, however the line is nonstop so you will need to really look for a seat. The restaurant has plenty of natural light and a colorful quote from Jenny herself is painted on the wall. Service The staff was friendly and smiling the entire time. Food and Beverages I had the turkey chili and she crab soup; both were delicious and full of hearty flavors. I was not really a fan of the salmon BLT, the salmon lacked flavor and the sandwich would've been better if it was hot. Still, soups the name of the game here, and both the soups I ordered were excellent. The sweet tea is also yummy without being diabetic, for all you true Southerners out there. Verdict I'll be back to try some more soup, as their menu rotates often.

Ok this is the place to go for lunch, hands down the cutest shop! The atmosphere and service is just amazing. They change their menu daily so sign up for the emails. Even if im not going in i read the email menu to see what kind of soups, salads, and sandwiches they can offer at another time. Theres jennys cookbooks and you can buy large soup to go in containers. Recommend to freeze and use at a later date if you really like it! I got the gazpacho which typically is my favorite and it was fresh. I couldnt eat the whole bowl because it was too much freshness for me! My husband got the turkey chili which they offer everyday on their menu- i think this is the one item that does not change.The outdoor seating is so calming and covered patio. A few steps away they have a massive garden! We spent honestly 30 minutes just walking around it and seeing all of their veggies they grow! Its a super cute lunch date spot and go earlier because they only make enough for the day! Such a sustainable concept.

My sister has bragged about this place for years and I've finally crossed it off the list. It seems the menu changes daily, I was hoping to get Broccoli & Cheese but it wasn't on the menu. I ordered Cauliflower Parmesan and Chives, Dad's Turkey Chili and Thai Noodle soup. The soup were tasty. I'd visit again in the future. With your combo you get a roll, cookie, fruit and a drink. Fairly good deal, made me feel like I was winning. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the line. This location is inside The Atlanta History Museum and shares a space with a coffee shop which gives me college cafeteria vibes. It wasn't extremely noisy, but more space is needed for customers waiting in line to not be standing over customers while the eat at tables. Kinda tight near the entrance.
