At Wholesoul, we serve bold, comforting flavors made with love — perfect for gatherings, celebrations, and unforgettable moments.

Lavsweetz is the signature dessert line created by Lavender, co-owner of Wholesoul. Every dessert is scratch-made in small batches using organic ingredients, rooted in nostalgia and designed to bring the party to life — from cobblers and brownies to crowd-favorite sweets served at events, pop-ups, and celebrations.
Wholesoul | A Lavender & Sage Eatery is a family-run, Black women-owned soul food eatery and catering company serving the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.
At Wholesoul, nourishment comes first. Our approach is rooted in balance — ensuring you get your greens, your beans, and the foods that truly fuel your body, by any means necessary, without sacrificing flavor, culture, or comfort. We honor soulful cooking while teaching that health and comfort food can coexist beautifully on the same plate.
Founded by Kathleen Johnson, alongside co-owners Lavender and Sage, Wholesoul was born from a shared desire to enjoy soulful flavors in a more intentional, nourishing way. Together, we built Wholesoul on the belief that food should be both comforting and restorative — deeply rooted in tradition while remaining mindful of wellness.
Through thoughtful ingredients and intentional preparation, Wholesoul creates meals that satisfy cravings while supporting balance — food that feeds both the body and the soul. Since 2014, we have served community events, private celebrations, and corporate gatherings throughout the Twin Cities, gaining recognition for our flavorful, feel-good approach to soul food. Our team has proudly catered the Paisley Park After Dark live music series, Prince’s Memorial, and the memorial service of Jelly Bean Johnson — creator of the Minneapolis Sound Museum and member of the historic group The Time — honoring moments of culture, legacy, and community through food.
From hearty entrées and vibrant sides to catering, food trailer service, and signature desserts, every dish is crafted with care, purpose, and love. And once you’ve fueled your body the Wholesoul way — then we bring the house party to your mouf. That’s where Lavsweetz comes in.
