Pura Vida in Bay Harbor Islands is truly a hidden gem! I've visited this location multiple times,…read morebut my most recent experience stood out because of Val's exceptional customer service. Val was incredibly friendly, patient, and informative. She took the time to explain the benefits of downloading the Pura Vida app and even told me about the local discount available. I've been coming here for a while, and surprisingly, no one had ever mentioned these perks before. She even waited while I downloaded the app to make sure I received my points, which was such a thoughtful touch. As for the food, I ordered the falafel bowl, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Between the great food and Val's outstanding service, I've found myself coming back regularly. What started as a once-in-a-while visit has turned into a weekly lunch spot, and sometimes I stop by twice a week just to grab their amazing vegan cookie! A big thank you to Val for going above and beyond. Excellent customer service makes all the difference, and she definitely made me feel like a valued customer. Highly recommend!

Convenience meets healthy & filling…read more At most times of day, this location is packed, but you can usually snag a seat. Service and food prep time is always speedy, even when helping a lot of customers. Inside, it looks, feels and smells like a relaxing spa, and the music also elevates the experience. It generally attracts a young bougie crowd wearing expensive athleisure brands, but it's also close to the beach so you'll find varying levels of casual attire. The quality and portions are very standardized and efficiently prepared, so you can expect a high level of consistency each time you order the same thing even at different locations. While it's not freshly made to order, the meals are tasty, filling, satisfying, and fast - while being way healthier than fast food. Queue up and order at the counter. If dining in, you'll be given a number to take to your table and your food will be brought to you. Prices are a little steep and can run you about $60 for a 2-person lunch. You can save on service fee by ordering on the app. We especially like the salmon and chicken rice bowls - but were disappointed recently when pickled onions listed on the menu were replaced with raw onions. For the coffee lovers: Pura Vida also serves a surprisingly rich, tasty and well made latte. Just wish they offered a larger size. When the weather's nice, we enjoy grabbing a table outside to watch people passing by.

My mom and I stopped in on a rainy morning and were immediately seated at the bar. Seeing as it was a front row seat to be able to watch the chef work his magic, I was not upset. Here I had the best corned beef hash I think I've ever had. The coleslaw was out of this world. And make sure to ask for jelly - Josh makes his own and it's a mix of mango and mamey. Unexpected and GOOD. If I lived anywhere near here, I'd be an instant regular. It's perfectly cozy and the smell that you get to enjoy when he's making his rye bread from scratch - second to none. I HIGHLY recommend, and will hopefully be back.

The bread was toasted well. However the portion is small, the price is high ($28 as of 2026) and they put an automatic tip even with minimal service. Come if your not able to get good pastrami but not worth coming otherwise.

From the moment you walk in, there's a warm, welcoming energy -- part upscale café, part gourmet market, and entirely delightful. The food is nothing short of outstanding. Everything is fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. Whether you're stopping in for a healthy lunch, a cozy dinner, or just grabbing a coffee and pastry, the quality is consistent and always impressive. The menu has something for everyone -- from crisp salads and comforting pastas to standout daily specials that are hard to pass up. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate (starting with Inés - Chef and owner) on what they serve. You can tell there's real care behind every detail, from the curated wine selection to the artisanal groceries lining the shelves. Open Kitchen is more than just a restaurant -- it's a community spot where good food meets good people and friends; which I have been a customer for more than 9 years. A must-visit in Bay Harbor Islands!

I come here quite often, but I really want to say that the service here is terrible…read more I came in to place a takeout order and stood at the counter while the girl working there was just standing around talking and laughing with another employee, completely ignoring customers. After several minutes of trying to get her attention, she finally came over -- without even apologizing. What made it even worse was that instead of apologizing, she told me "I was busy," as if I hadn't just spent several minutes watching them stand there chatting and laughing while doing absolutely nothing. So not only was the service rude and careless, but she also lied directly to my face, showing complete disrespect toward another person -- not to mention toward a paying customer, which is literally her job to serve. It honestly feels like the owner pays employees just to come to work and socialize instead of actually doing their jobs. I will not be coming back to this place, and I would not recommend it to others either.
