    Very cute spot that opened right by Bloomingdale's 1st floor at SCP. Aesthetically a really nice restaurant. Downfall is the limited seating. There is a chance you won't be able to find one if you're visiting during peak hours. Tried the tuna sandwich and unfortunately the ciabatta bread was not available, and had to eat the backup option. We also tried the chicken empanada which was pretty good with their dipping sauce. Full disclosure if you're looking for macro friendly food, the sandwiches are in the higher calorie side. I haven't had the chance to try any of the beverages yet. Will definitely come back.

    Stopped by for something quick to eat before shopping. The over night oats was okay, pretty bland in my opinion. My friend got the avocado smash toast & said it was very refreshing. The drinks were my favorite! I love a good fruit smoothie. The restaurant was pretty small & you have to order first then pick a seat. They bring the food out to you. I'd definitely come back for another smoothie soon. Overall experience was good & service was great! Friendly staff, they made sure to check up on us from time to time.

    Been here 2x. The staff are really nice. It does get busy quick but they clean the tables fast once people leave. My first time here they said it was too busy so they made my order to go. I was still able to get a table and table number they just put my order in to go boxes with utensils. The outdoor patio is nice. It's hidden and a lot of people overlook it but I think it's nice. It's less noisy than inside too. It does get sunny outside though if you don't get a shaded spot. I had the salmon wrap. I never had a wrap before, but it was delicious! I've had the smoothie too. I don't remember the name but it's marked as the favorite. Was very fresh, hearty and also delicious! I've also had the cinnamon croissant and that was also really good. I bought the creatine and sea moss supplements from there too and those were really good. I'd definitely buy them again.

    What a great addition to South Coast Plaza! Pura Vida is a chain from Miami that values delicious and healthy food that you would feel good about nourishing your body with. Yes it's expensive but worth it in my opinion to nourish your body with real and whole foods. Their menu offerings are so vast ranging from salads, bowls, plates, sandwiches, wraps, teas/coffees, smoothies, grab n go juices, and bakery baked goods. There is definitely something for everyone. Staff here is very attentive and kind and I love the decor of the dining area. It feels like you've been transported to the coast of Miami despite being in the mall.

    Tried Pura Vida Miami at South Coast Plaza and went with a chocolate croissant and a protein bar. The chocolate croissant was actually really good--flaky on the outside, soft inside, and the chocolate wasn't overly sweet. It felt fresh and light, not greasy like some pastries can be. The protein bar was solid too. Didn't have that super artificial taste a lot of protein snacks have. It was filling without feeling heavy, which fits the whole clean/healthy vibe they're going for. The spot itself is super aesthetic--bright, clean, and a nice break from the busy mall. Service was quick and everything felt pretty streamlined. Only thing is it's a bit on the pricier side for what you get, but that's kind of expected for the location and brand. Overall, good quick stop if you want something light but still satisfying at South Coast. I'd come back to try more of their menu.

    Environment is perfect. Food was decent, if add balsamic vinegar to avocado toast will be great

    Ive heard about the opening of this new spot which offers healthy options. Located next to bloomingdales on the first floor. We stopped by for a quick bite around dinner time and there was no line. We got the protein pancakes which came with eggs and some berries. Surprisingly it was really good! The protein pancakes were light and fluffy and just a hint of sweetness. I got the Caesar salad wrap which was nice and refreshing! I was happy that the chicken was warm and not cold. Really nice with the dressing on the side. Came with some pita chips for that nice crunch. We also got a smoothie and matcha. The smoothie was a bit too sour for me but it has no added sugar. Overall the food was great and i dont feel bad eating it. The staff was friendly! Plenty of seating but i can imagine they'll get packed on the weekends.

    VEGAN WALNUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
    Harsimran s.

    I've been wanting to check this spot out and glad to do so today! Very busy for lunch but ended up getting a table eventually. The service is the star of the show! Miguel was wonderful! We ordered the empanada trio (one of each: chicken, beef and spinach). Chicken was the best, beef was our least fave. Walnut chocolate chip cookie was not from the freshly made counter, but packaged, however, it was excellent. The pesto chicken sandwich was excellent as well. I think price points are a little high, but it's worth it. The vanilla latte was great and the dragon fruit refresher, which we later got instead of the strawberry matcha was def refreshing and light! Would order that again! Bathrooms felt a little dirty, but loved the decor and vibe. We will come again for breakfast.

    Iced vanilla latte and ICED STRAWBERRY MATCHA
    Sajeet S.

    Really nice service. Very bright and open. The food is fresh. Not sure how healthy it is re calories but ingredients were great. The best is the pesto chicken sandwich. Perfect balance. The bread was excellent. The empanadas are good. We like the chicken and the spinach the best. I didn't like the iced strawberry matcha but I can see why others would. The vegan chocolate chip cookie was good. Solid cookie. Best vegan cookie I've had

    Pura Vida Miami has some healthy menu options. The salmon bowl is great, and the pesto chicken sandwich is good also. The drinks and pastries are pricey, but pretty good. Parking in the structure can be easy at the right time of day. It's a nice place to meet for breakfast or lunch, although it gets loud.

    AVOCADO SMASH
    Jasmine R.

    We stumbled upon this place while on vacation in Miami and thought the coffee was amazing so we were super excited when we saw one coming to Orange County. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the coffee tasted as good as we remembered. The food is also good but not the best breakfast I've ever had. The other downside is being located in the mall dampers the vibe slightly. Overall though we'd go back because the coffee is that good.

    FALAFEL CRUNCH
    Lena K.

    I'm so glad my teammate at work told me about Pura Vida! It is so delish! Yes, it's expensive so it's not a routine location for me, but I will come when I feel like a healthy, yet scrumptious meal. I first came here for a drink and had the strawberry matcha. Usually you worry that those drinks have so much sugar and calories. Well, not at Pura Vida! It wasn't too sweet, just perfect. Yesterday I went for lunch and was immediately attracted to the falafel crunch wrap. I thought I'd only eat half, but ate the whole thing. It was so, so good. I loved the green tahini it came with. It had a decent amount of falafel and greens. I'll be back to try more menu items. The location is on the first floor of South Coast Plaza mall near Bloomingdale's. It gets crowded at lunch.

    1. The bowl was huge, and it had a good portion of tuna! The smoothie was refreshing! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is very open! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready within 10 mins! 4. There are only indoor seatings! There are a few tables as well as a counter! 5. There are free parking lots and structures nearby! Note: They will clean your table after you! Photo: Welcome to Miami and Spicy Tuna Bowl

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

    My manager and I went to go get an afternoon pick-me-up of coffee after a meeting for our work…read more Nook was down the street and I always wanted to try because I heard the hype. The parking however, was VERY filled during this time. The line was huge for a 11:00am on a Friday morning. We were bummed that the QR code was not working on the very cute wooden signage outside the coffee shop while we were in line, which was a bummer. The Honey Oat Latte with oat milk was delicious. I am notorious for chugging my iced coffee but this was absolutely delicious. A sweet, subtle honey sweetness taste and the creamy oat milk was divine. My manager's Spanish Latte was so much better & I will be getting that next time! We bought our other coworker the Strawberry Matcha, which we did not try & we were worried after the fact because it did not look like it had strawberries in it, but she confirmed it was very tasty and tasted the strawberry! The outside seating areas in this outdoor area was very cute. Lots of fun art, the directory was creative, the CD tunnel was the coolest part! We also walked over to the breakfast burrito place as well. This seems like a nice area to come and relax and just people watch and enjoy a delicious iced latte from Nook.

I think I've only had like a small instance where the internet got a little slow but other than that this is a pleasant spot to visit. You can also rent a study/conference room from the church. I sent a message before because I needed a spot to do my final oral exam virtually. There is a small fee but unfortunately no one got back to me. There is a QR code that takes you to a site where you fill out a form to request the space. Now, these requests are handled specifically by the church not the coffee spot. Although it is in the same area. The staff is super friendly. The restrooms are always clean. Handicap friendly. Not necessarily kid friendly because a lot of people come here to study and work, and its also all concrete and hazards for the small ones, but I have seen people do like babies on strollers type of gathering.

    Checked this spot out since I was staying at the hotel nearby…read more.. What a neat little spot! Can almost call it a hidden gem! Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

They just toss the drinks on the counter, the cups usually have spilled milk outside, or the lids are not tight. I saw so many customers dropped their drinks when they picked them up. Just yesterday when I picked up the matcha tornado, it splashed all over my shirt.

Phil Jaber founded Philz Coffee in 2003 and spent years experimenting with various coffee beans from around the world to create over 30 different unique blends. Each "cup of love" is custom made in front of you and finished off with their signature mint leave. The Philz baristas make sure your drink is to your liking before you pay. One thing that is unique about Phiz is that they don't do lattes or cappuccinos. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee is their best seller and still my personal favorite. I ended grabbing one and a bag of coffee beans before hitting the road to my next destination.
