Students to Founders: The Soul Cafe Story

In this episode, we sit down with the owners of Soul Cafe—an AUS student, Ahmad Yaqoob, and alumni, Mohammed Yaqoob, duo —to uncover the journey behind one of campus’s most soulful spots. From the first spark of an idea to the final product you know and love today, we dive into the highs, hurdles, and heart that shaped the café. We also unpack the deeper meaning behind the name Soul Cafe and how identity, culture, and community are brewed into everything they do.
