After a quick shopping trip I came here on a whim as I was craving a mid afternoon pick me up with drink and a healthy snack. Their menu offers lots of healthy options. I was delighted to order a matcha latte made with organic ceremonial grade matcha and choice of milk so I chose almond milk and the best part it's perfect for me it has no sugar. I also picked up a small bag of almond butter energy bites it tastes good and satisfied my snack craving but it only contains two. I also picked up to go a cinnamon croissant roll it's flaky and sprinkled with sugar with no annoyingly sweet glaze. I didn't get to try their menu food items so my review doesn't reflect the full experience or higher rating. I hope to return to try more healthy options. read more

Pura Vida Miami - Cinnamon croissant roll and almond butter bites - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We were the last customers so we enjoyed the entire place to ourselves. Service was great, even though it was closing time, not once did we feel rushed to leave. Had a salad, bowl and a smoothie. We didn't care for the smoothie ordered so without asking we were encouraged to try something else. We had a bowl with Salmon and it was wonderful. Would 100% recommend it. I guess the Costa Mesa location is on the lunch schedule for next week. Can't wait. Healthy, convenient and delicious. A must try. read more

We were excited to try Pura Vida, but unfortunately our first experience was very disappointing. We attempted to order a smoothie, but they were out of one of the main ingredients. We politely asked if it could be made with another type of milk instead, and were told no. The employee rolled his eyes and stated that they don't customize orders, even though the original ingredient wasn't available. We then asked for suggestions on what else we could order, but he seemed completely uninterested in helping and gave us very little information. The interaction felt like he wanted us to leave rather than find something we would enjoy. Customer service can make or break a first impression, and unfortunately this experience left us feeling unwelcome. The concept is trendy, but based on our visit, the service did not live up to the hype. read more

Thank God that the Corner bakery closed at South Coast and instead this place opened. It is such a cute bakery and cafe. We opted for latte and a drip coffee and a cinnamon pastry. The person at the register just handed us the pastry w/o asking if we wanted it warmed up. The drip coffee came out right away but my latte didn't. After waiting good 15 mins, I went to the counter and saw that a latte is just sitting on the counter. I told the employee if that is under my name and he was like "oh yeh sorry, it has been sitting here for a while but we didn't know who it belonged to"..... Ummm, seriously?? You give table numbers first of all. Second of all, I have been sitting on at my table and waiting. Third of all, instead of chatting among yourselves and laughing, get your orders out on time to your customers. It is NOT rocket science. I was never asked if I would like my drink remade. I should have made them to do so though. The bottom line is the Service SUCKS. Drinks are good if you are lucky enough to get them while they are still HOT. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pura Vida Miami - Outdoor patio - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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. read more

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. read more

Pura Vida Miami - Avocado smash and fire egg wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Loveeee that a really healthy quick bite spot opened at south coast!!!! It's so different from most of the restaurants in the mall which are almost all Chinese or Italian. Don't get me wrong I love those spots too but pura vida has so many refreshing and delicious options. Service was amazing too- Miguel was great and very knowledgeable on the menu items so that was super helpful since it was my first visit. We ordered the spicy tuna bowl and the summer chicken bowl, both amazing and honestly huge portions. I also got a slice of their hugeeee banana bread and it was so moist and yummy!!! Also got a banana brew- their banana coffee and it was so unique and delicious. It honestly did not taste too much like coffee but it was super yummy and it was so thick and creamy because they blend in real bananas!!! Definitely will be back. read more

It was my first time here as my girlfriend wanted to try the Creatine Cymbiotica Smoothie. There was about 10 people in front of us but the line actually moved pretty fast! I didn't order anything but all of the pastries looked pretty normal. Juices reminded me of Pressed Juicery but with less options. There were a bajillion workers though so I do like how efficient service was for pumping out food because it was absolutely PACKED. Smoothie was good. I guess I didn't really know what to expect but it did remind me of sea moss. However, IT WAS $20 HOLY MOLY. I would never. But I get it, ingredients are expensive. Ambiance was very inviting and made you feel like royalty at the beach. I liked all of the decor it was very quaint and open with a lot of tables. read more

I waited in line for about 5-10 minutes to order the creatine smoothie, $20. Then it was about 15 minutes to wait for it. I tasted more citrus flavors than mango and tropical. Despite it being advertised as mango, strawberry, coconut water, coconut cream, dragonfruit, passion fruit, yogurt. I wish they had nutritional facts on the smoothie online. I would like to know if there is protein in there, since it says it's made with Greek yogurt too. read more

So I have been here twice now. The first time I tried their empanadas, which I enjoyed. The chicken and beef for my favorite and I preferred the spicy sauce as well. The second time I came was today, on a Saturday. The line was much longer and they were out of menus. Not sure how that happened. It would be helpful to have them while you wait in line so you know what to order when you get up to the register. The girl at the register was not very friendly at all, but we did order. Another suggestion is that you should tell the customers not to save seats seats until they order. That would help the people who actually have ordered. Be able to sit down and enjoy their meals. They might be done, by the time the people who are saving seats get there. The restrooms also didn't have seat paper, which I thought was required in California, I did think that was odd. We finally were able to get a table, and then we had to wait for people to clear the tables. They might be a little shortstaffed, not sure. When it's during busy hours. Overall, I really enjoyed my salad, though a little on the pricey side. $26 for a salad with a chicken protein. The dressing I thought was a little weak, so I had to use a lot of it in order to get the flavor. But I really did enjoy my salad. I would come again once in a while. Hopefully, they work out some of the quirks. SYOY! read more

When I heard that Pura Vida Miami was opening up at my fav South Coast plaza mall, I HAD to come and experience it for myself ~ to see if it lived up to its hype. Anddd..I'm impressed. Pura Vida in SCP is located on the first floor, in a corner lot, right outside of Bloomingdale. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but it gets pretty crowded, so you will need to keep an eye out & grab a table ~ the second it becomes available. I stopped by on a Friday afternoon, around noon ~ to meet up w/ my sissy and a friend for lunch. The line wasn't too bad to order and moved quite efficiently. While I expected more "wow" decor & aesthetics (esp. compared to their OG Miami location), this shop was bright, open and modernly decorated. Known for their health & wellness mission, they had a delicious & healthy looking menu selection. I opt'd to share the signature acai bowl and empanada trio (chicken, beef, and spinach & cheese ~ served w/ a spicy aioli and green tahini sauces) with my sister. My eyes were definitely more hungry than my tummy cuz I also caved and ordered the fresh banana nut loaf & walnut chocolate chip cookie too (both were vegan, not that it mattered to me)! The acai bowl was good & filling. I just wished it had a drizzle of agave/honey..which would have made it perfect. Heads up..the acai stained/turned our lips purple/red ~ which was unexpected. Lol The empanadas were pretty good, as well. The beef and spinach & cheese ones were my favorites. I was too full to try my sweets, but took them home instead and they were deelish. My sis and I were super excited to try the cortadito (coffee addicts, IYKYK..it's a yummy traditional Cuban coffee drink that consists of espresso mixed with a small amount of steamed milk and the milk is added to cut the intensity of the espresso) because we've been haunted with the mouth-watering one we first had (and got addicted to) during our visit to lil Havana, in Florida years ago. It was sooo good that we have been searching for one like it ever since. We both were a lil disappointed that the one at Pura Vida missed the mark for us. While it was strong, it lacked the perfect amount of sweetness that usually enhances the flavor. We had to ask for brown sugar to add ourselves, which took away a lil from the experience. Our friend ordered the pesto chicken sandwich which looked fresh and she quite enjoyed. All in all, Pura Vida is a good RxFoodie recommended ~ try at least once kinda place & cute location for a meet-up/lunchie with friends. While the quality is good, it's a lil on the pricey side for everyday indulgence. read more

Been wanting to try this place since I saw buzz online with its grand opening--sparked my interest. They are in a great spot, across from Sephora and Bloomingdale's with close by parking. Easy to find and navigate to. Decor was clean, light, bright, coastal, with soft relaxing colors that reflected the vibes they are going for. It's small with decent seating in and outside, but probably won't be enough for busier times. They open at 9am. My friend and I arrived around 9:20am and completed order by 9:34am. They had customers, but wasn't busy/crowded and plenty of open seating. Let's talk about the food: I ordered veggie omelette plate, chai tea latte with pistachio milk to dine in and my friend also got the same and also their croissant. Overall, it looked fresh and beautifully presented. It was a rolled up omelette style they are trying to go for, but it was too dry and overcooked for my taste. Chai tea latte was really good and the chai is strong, which is what I like. Pistachio milk gave a nutty flavor, but subtle. My second order was for takeout: I ordered perfect egg sandwich along with two slices of banana bread to go. Total for my order was about $70 with a 15% tip for staff. My take out order was brought out to me and I assumed my items were all there. I got to it later on in the day; two slices of banana bread were missing. Extremely frustrating. I get it if they were busy and backed up, but they weren't and had a decent amount of staff on hand. This isn't some small mom and pop shop. It's a whole entity/brand, so I expected more. I reached out to them-- I'll give them credit that their customer service responded quickly. They asked to give me store credit, but I don't want it. I wanted my money back, so I'll give it a few days for my refund to show up. The on the floor staff were extremely nice and attentive though, but I'm on the fence about coming back, tbh. My friend tried to order their latte and some tea and they didn't have it either. I really don't know if it's worth the hype for me to come back when there are so many other options in the area. read more

Came here last week for lunch. Aesthetically cute and right near a mall entrance and a parking structure so it's easy to access. Lots of healthy options on the menu - I ended up getting the gluten pancakes and super greens smoothie. Both were great however the pancakes were tiny. Deducted a star due to that and the pricing. It's pretty expensive for what it is. read more

When I heard Pura Vida opened in OC, I was so thrilled. I tried this place in Miami and I fell in love with it. Everything I get there is good. It's very health based which I really appreciate. I got the tuna poke wrap this time. The fish tasted super fresh along with the fresh veggies that are in the wrap. I also got the Welcome to Miami smoothie which is a passion fruit mango banana blend. I adjusted it to use coconut water instead, and added shaved coconut and collagen protein to it. Passion fruit is one of my favorite flavors and this drink tasted amazing, super refreshing! I have yet to visit this place in person but I will update when i do. read more

Pura Vida Miami - TUNA POKE - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This cafe is located inside South Coast mall. The ambiance is very cute and chic with a Miami vibe. It is also very small and has very limited seating, so be prepared to look for an open table. They do have some patio seating right outside with built-in heat lamps and fans. Food was overall good and also fresh. The quality of the ingredients were excellent. Coffee and iced drinks were refreshing. We ordered croissant and banana nut bread to satisfy our sweet tooth and they were both delicious. I loved the banana nut bread because it had big chucks of banana and nuts. We also ordered salmon avocado bowls and tuna poke wraps, and they were tasty, healthy and clean. My only callout would be that the sauces were too heavy and creamy for these fish dishes and needed to be more citrusy. Also, the spicy aioli sauce can be very spicy and is not ideal for those with acid reflux issues. Service was great. The entire staff was very attentive and came around to check on us and other patrons often. They were also quick. I would come back to try other foods and drinks when I'm in the area. Just note that the price is more expensive compared to other cafes. The salmon bowl was $25 while the tuna wrap was $20. But, you can tell the difference in the quality of the ingredients, so you do get what you pay for. read more

They are new to South Coast Plaza and I come pretty frequent because the menu is pretty decent. The prices I would say are about average and what you expect for Costa Mesa and surrounding areas so no surprise there that a meal with a drink comes out to $25 plus. BUT because I frequent this place often I will say, they need to work on double checking the items are all in there (maybe I should to but I shouldn't have to). I've come back twice to grab my drink because it's not in the bag like it should be so that's annoying. Other times I've literally just took the loss and didn't go back for my missing food items because I've already left the parking lot and don't want to drive back and look for parking again. Overall the food is pretty good, price is expected, and staff is friendly. Not much else to say about this place. read more

I absolutely love the ambiance here, it's very beach/coastal vibe with white wood benches and natural decor. They have gluten free options as well as other pastries, drinks and delicious smoothies. The staff is very kind and brings menu items prepared in kitchen out to your table. I definitely recommend trying it for anyone who hasn't and knows the south coast plaza mall it's a must!!! read more

Extremely disappointed. I lived in Fort Lauderdale for 4 years and went to Pura Vida there everyday for a meal, I was excited to learn they put one in South Coast Plaza shortly after I moved back to California, I finally went last night. I purchased my favorite chocolate chip cookie only for it to be handed to me in a plastic sealed wrapping which is NOT how it was in FL. The cookie was greasy, flat and did not taste anything like their food I had previously. They scaled the company and now it isn't like it used to be. It's a no for me. read more

I'm so happy this restaurant opened in the plaza! Everything feels fresh, and there are tons of healthy options--sandwiches, salads, wraps, smoothies, and more. After my coworker kept going there for days and raving about the sandwiches, I knew I had to try it. I ordered the tuna sprout sandwich and added avocado--so good. They even include a free side sauce; the green tahini was recommended (not the best sauce in my opinion), but I'm excited to try the others. My coworker got the Perfect Egg sandwich with bacon and said it was incredible. The only downfall is there's been a long line since they opened. I would highly recommend ordering ahead if you are in a time crunch! read more

Pura Vida Miami - TUNA SPROUT - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

A new shop just opened Thursday at the Costa Mesa Mall, and my friends and I stopped by after our cycling class to check it out. The service was really good -- the staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to explain the menu. We all ordered smoothies, and overall the quality was really solid. I had the Coco Azul, super smooth, refreshing, and well-balanced. My boyfriend got the green juice, which leaned more toward ginger and pineapple flavors and tasted very fresh. The only downside is the pricing. Smoothies ranged from $13-$20, which feels a bit steep for regular visits, even though the ingredients seem high quality. If prices were slightly lower or there were some deals, this would easily be a go-to spot. Overall, great service, delicious drinks, and a nice new addition to the mall -- just hoping pricing becomes a bit more approachable. read more

I'm unsure how to rate this restaurant. Food is alright but the prices may not wholeheartedly justify for it. Came during the weekends and it was so chaotic, despite the tons of employees walking around. Seating is first come first gets it. So some people would have their friend/family in line waiting, thus, you may order and won't have a table to sit because someone is saving spots. What's worst is, it was so busy, the employees couldn't keep track of who is who; they do utilize this number card and a stand for pick-up but somehow you still have employees walking around trying to find the guests to give them the order. We got a matcha cookie, croissant, salmon burrito and açai bowl. The açai bowl was really refreshing. The smoothie wasn't all the worth the cost (maybe I was expecting more). The burrito was light and fulfilling. Croissants was good. The ambiance is great-love their decor. They have outdoor seating too so it's nice. I'd come back here if I'd happen to be busy shopping and it's convenience but I would go here just to grab food. read more

My daughter has been raving about the Pura Vida Miami in Malibu for the last few days. I have been waiting for this location to open since I've seen their sign up right outside Bloomingdales for several months now. So glad to see it open. The line was long and wrapped around the store. It took a while to get to the front of the line and a while longer to get the foods after we ordered. I had the plate with chicken, sweet potatoes, and a side salad. Everything was super fresh and delicious. My daughter had the bowl with chicken. It's similar to the plate but without the salad. We all liked what we got. If you're looking for healthy foods and beverages while you're at the mall, I highly recommend Pura Vida. Service was really good. All employees are pleasant, respectful, and very efficient. read more

I guess this place is brand new at South Coast Plaza. They sell organic drinks, pastries , breakfast, and coffee. It is South Coast Plaza fancy, bright, clean, and buzzing.The supervisor was standing over the new employees and made sure everything went well, and it was good for a new place. I had the almond croissant and oat milk latte. The croissant was flawless, crunchy, with sweet center. The oat milk latte was also well done. We also tried a couple juices, you can tell they are leaning more on the natural flavor. Not sweet treats but definitely good for you. read more

The Iced Strawberry Matcha however... was disappointing. Barely taste the strawberry. It was very bitter and bland. The spot is very aesthetically pleasing. Clean and bright.
