The service and ambiance are amazing! I got a lemonade refresher and it was delicious. While the rooftop was closed, it was still a great experience. Key served my friend and I, and she was wonderful! read more

I took my family at 8 am on a Friday because during peak hours it can get really crowded with long lines. We were able to order right away. We ordered a couple of smoothies- Welcome to Miami (yellow colored smoothies) and Vitamin Sea (deep purple color) as well as a cappuccino and macchiato double. The smoothies were delicious. Our kids were very happy to drink them down quickly. I tried both smoothies and thought both were delicious. I am picky about my cappuccino's and thought mine was a great balance of espresso, milk and foam and bonus points for the adorable mug it came in. My husband's macchiato double was nice and strong. Not my preference but he likes it that way. The ambiance was great. Feels like vacation. Everyone was very kind and the service was quick. Everyone was attentive to our needs. They would come by our table and see what we needed. Shoutout to Iliana who is always kind, thoughtful and working hard. Always going the extra mile. This was my 3rd visit and she has been there every time. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch here and was not disappointed! The decor was beautiful and despite it being busy, I was able to snag a seat at a bar counter. I got the poke wrap and thought it was flavorful and fresh! I enjoyed the dipping sauce.it came with, giving it a little punch of spice! I also got a sweet treat; the matcha pistachio cookie and it might have honestly been the best cookie I have ever had in my life. It was perfectly soft and SOOO tasty. I would go back just for the cookie alone! Overall though I will most definitely be back for a meal AND a cookie:) read more

Is Mosaic the new Miami? Thanks to Pura Vida it is certainly getting a little closer! I stopped by on a sunny Friday afternoon and this new spot was already packed to the gills with trendy women (and their equally trendy children) lunching and gossiping. We managed to get a table but when we took a look at the line we decided to place our orders online which was a smart choice! We were able to leisurely peruse their offerings while sitting, and the pickup time was no later than ten minutes. This place is incredibly efficient! The vibe is 10/10. Boho and beachy, with lots of comfy tables to sit at both inside and out. I didn't get to check out the rooftop, but I've been to it's past iterations and it's just a beautiful place to be in the late afternoon when the sun is about to set. Pura Vida is famous for their all day brunch but the tuna poke wrap was calling my name. It came out, fresh and beautiful but to be honest the rice was super flat and mushy and the flavor was extremely bland. I am usually anti sauce, but a little coconut aminos to dip and maybe a drizzle of sesame oil would have made this absolute perfection. My friend's chicken caesar wrap looked heavenly and will be definitely in my next dining rotation. My mango pineapple refresher with coconut water was also the perfect hydrating drink for a 90 degree day. Place was pricey for a pretty bland lunch but you paying for vibes. read more

Wanted to see what all the hype was about so decided to try out this new spot in Mosaic! We went on a Saturday for brunch and it was pretty busy. A good thing to know in advance: this is a self-seating type of place but even on a busy Saturday we were able to get a spot outside within 10-15 min of arriving, just be ready to snag a table! You also have to order and pick up your food inside. For the food, we got the spicy tuna bowl. Super healthy and fresh ingredients but for $25 per bowl it felt pricy. I do want to point out that the service was great! They were quick to clean the tables and there was always someone friendly available to help or answer questions. I think it's a good spot to bring friends/family if you happen to be around the area but not something I would go out of my way to go to. read more

I want to LOVE this restaurant because I'm obsessed with the atmosphere. Came to lunch with friends. We all liked our meals but none of us felt like anything was excellent, especially for the price. I'm very willing to pay for excellent food and drinks, but these are good, not excellent for the price. I had an acai bowl- next time I would not choose this - instead head down the street to playa bowl- way more choices and they are better there. My friend had a salad that she enjoyed, again good but nothing special. Service was great! Lots of checking in to see how we were doing. That was really great. Will come back and try again since I love the location and the atmosphere here- the rooftop wasn't open and we want to check that out! read more

I ordered an iced coffee and toasted chicken wrap to be delivered for lunch and it was excellent. The wrap was light, good flavor, and quality ingredients. Everything was packaged nicely and still the wrap was still warm when delivered. read more

Pura Vida just opened up and with all the hype, we had to check it out. Newly renovated and gorgeous interior. Unfortunately, we cannot speak much on the upstairs as it was closed when we went (bummer). There was ample seating indoors and out but of course since it's incredibly hyped up currently, they were packed. The staff were super helpful and very accommodating. The service was fairly quick especially considering how busy it was. The food was gorgeous in presentation as were the drinks. However, for what it was and for the price, I found it to be lack luster. The food was a bit bland and while understandably, it is simple ingredients, I feel as though it can still be packed with flavor. Overall, it was great to visit and check out but unfortunately, if you're coming for good eats, I would recommend many other places within the area read more

Pretty fancy looking brunch place at mosaic, perfect for catching up with a friend while grabbing a bite. This place looks really nice inside, and the food is alright. Very bright and clean looking inside. Food is a bit pricey here, but it's pretty healthy. I probably won't be back, as this place seems like a place girlfriends gather to converse, in my opinion. read more

This place gives amazing beach vibes. I love their food selection and drink selection. I had the blue pea butterfly tea latte. It was delicious! I had the empanada trio and the chicken bowl. I didn't like the empanada trio, it was cold and honestly not that tasty. But the bowl was amazing. I also thought it was too pricey. I would say knock off $5 off the price and I'd say it's fair. So I would go again. read more

It's absolutely beautiful, staff is attentive and the food is good. Wish the upstairs would have been open since it gets really slammed but that's the only complaint I would have.

As someone from Miami I'm impressed at how consistent the flavors are to the one at home! Got my fav the salmon avocado sub the pura vida sauce if u know u know. Also got the tuna wrap very yummy! Tried the strawberry matcha very good as well. It's pretty busy since it just opened and it is on the pricier side in general but very good. Service was good - was fast. Same vibes as the Miami location inside too. read more

Pura Vida Miami - SPICY TUNA - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I have been looking forward to the Pura Vida in Mosaic to open since the first sign went up, so you know I came in for breakfast on opening day. First impressions when walking in, its a bright and open space. Its very inviting and has a positive vibe. I did feel like the music was a little loud when I walked in but honestly not too bad. I ordered my food and decided to grab a table. The woman who took my order was great, she let me take time to review the menu and also made sure to ask if I had any allergies. I ordered the Croissant Sandwich (removed tomatoes and added turkey bacon), cold brew and a slice of the zucchini banana bread. The food came out quickly. The Croissant Sandwich was great, the spicy aioli on the side was a great addition. The croissant was nice and flaky. The cold brew was also very good, I know people sometimes assume all cold brew is the same but I'd disagree. This was one of the better cold brews I've had. I was stuffed so I just tried a bite of the banana bread before getting it to go. It was good. There was a steady stream of people coming in, I imagine by lunch they'll be busy. They also have tons of outdoor seating (including a rooftop area) which will be great when the weather is good. I'm looking forward to coming back and grabbing lunch or a post-workout smoothie. Definitely a great addition to the Mosaic District. read more

Pura Vida Miami is a newly opened, upscale wellness café focusing on health, situated in the Mosaic District of Fairfax, Virginia. Open every day from 7 am, it offers an all-day breakfast menu, including sandwiches, fresh salads, wraps, and specialty coffees, served in a bright, Miami-inspired setting with natural wood tones, plants, and comfortable seating. We visited for breakfast and enjoyed all their offerings: - The Perfect Egg Sandwich: Toasted bagel with melted mozzarella, soft-boiled eggs, tomatoes, spinach, avocado, and spicy red pepper flakes -- enhanced by the accompanying sauce. It's filling, satisfying, delicious, and healthy. - Fire Egg Wrap: Egg omelet with mozzarella and feta, combined with avocado and other vegetables in a whole wheat tortilla. Nutritious, hearty, and flavorful. - Complemented by full-bodied, less acidic coffee, which pairs well with zucchini coffee cake and blueberry bread loaf. read more

I want to say Ima give them some grace since the manager said they just opened. I just was at the location in Miami while I was there for F1 so I was super excited to learn we were getting one in VA. With this visit I was pretty disappointed. I cam specifically for the hot latte in the mug but was told I couldn't order it in the cute mug with the picture it would be in a to go cut so that immediately made me not want to more order and stay. So I ended up getting an immunity shot and a açaí bowl. Well I never got my açaí bowl over 30 mins. Finally really nice waiter who was walking around kept checking on me and asking me if I got my food then she went downstairs for me a few times before telling me to go talk with the manager. She was super sweet and helpful I think her name was Key. When I got downstairs the manager was very a college egg and she kept my order again to refund it in my order and gave me a cocaine for free drink next time. I will give this guy another chance once they been open for a little bit longer. Cause the actual restaurant vibes are gorgeous 5/5, the manager and key were very helpful 10/10 the wait for over 30 mins for a açaí bowl and no coffee in mugs during business hours that's a no for me lol 0/5 but I gave them a 3 because the environment and niceness made up for it . read more

Got to go food. Falafel, Thai almond salad and toasted chicken wrap. Was looking for something light (really wanted the chicken Caesar wrap but they were out) but this did not fit the bill. Liked the Pura Vida sauce with the wrap. Otherwise it had no flavor. Chicken in the salad was as dry as any chicken I've ever had. The falafel had to be reheated so I'll give it a pass but did not like the taste. Plus the food is significantly more expensive than comparable restaurants just in Mosaic. Do yourself a favor and get food from Colada Shop instead. read more

I went to Pura Vida Miami around ~9am. I ordered a Vanilla Iced Latte and their Breakfast Bagel to split with my mom, and my dad ordered a croissant. The service was okay- I'm aware it's a very new spot here so I'm okay with that, although they did bring out my fathers croissant around 10 minutes after me and my mom got our sandwich. The ambiance in there is very cute, it's modern and even has a rooftop bar. The food was very good overall, my dad even saying it's the best croissant he's ever had. I made a review on @josieloveslattes on TikTok! Overall experience 8.5/10- just docking points for the experience (but it's okay cause it's new!) and it's somewhat expensive. read more

Went in because of the hype. The cafe is really beautiful. I ordered Omer's post workout smoothie and it was pretty good. Not too sweet just right. I went on a monday night and it didn't take long to get my food. The service could've been alittle warmer but I'm not mad about it. read more

I really like what the brand is trying to go for with the clean eating. They are trying to make food taste good without over enhancing the flavors or taking shortcuts to make food taste better which really resonates with me. Do not expect massive flavors with the food here you can't have it both ways being healthy while at the same time exciting your taste buds. Some of the reviews here perplexes me that this isn't obvious. I had a problem with the service, I ordered a bunch of items only for the cashier to assume that I did not have a "table" which meant I got all of my items as take out when I wanted it to be dine in (I was eventually was going to find a table). I was severely disappointed that the cashier gave no warnings even though i suspected something was off and gave them the benefit of the doubt but you should never assume the customer wants their food to go. I was given a coin for free coffee or something but that is not sufficient enough when I'm spending the kind of money for the food here. The processes / execution needs a bit of work but food is good here. read more

Pura Vida Miami - Breakfast CROISSANT SANDWICH - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Please! Please! Please! Create a self checkout option. The lines and a long wait are a disaster! I asked the manager to put the second person Sr the register while a bunch of staff is just standing around. The manager could have jumped in himself. But nothing. If we didn't promise the kids to come here, we would have not stayed. 20 min just to stay in line is insane. read more

Eh, 2.5 stars, with room for improvement. Aside from the light and airy feel of the restaurant, the experience at Pura Vida was just meh. From the moment you walk in, while the restaurant is lovely and chic, everything seems somewhat chaotic. People are lurking over tables as seating is limited and it's find your own seating, food runners are walking back and forth looking for table numbers to deliver food orders to customers, food and drinks come separately too - and the food is pricey and just nothing special for the NOVA brunch landscape. $24 for a steak plate and then a $7 non-alcoholic drink, makes for a $30 meal not including tax and tip! For a cafe like environment with no waitress/waiter to take your order just makes it not worth it and the chic vibe of the restaurant is already lost on this business model alone. I know Tatte Bakery operates the same, but somehow things seem more seamless and less chaotic there. I know this place is new and they're still working out kinks, but while there, we informed restaurant staff that BOTH (and only!) bathrooms were out of toilet paper and paper towels. The response was "We're working on it," which is slightly infuriating given that we had multiple staff come by our table on multiple occasions asking if everything was ok and also looking to collect our table block numbers (used to collect orders). Any one of those staff members could have tended to that quickly. It's an inefficient system because the food runners should be collecting the wooden block numbers the same time as delivering the food orders, it should be an automatic exchange of those items at each table! I don't think I'll be returning for awhile, it's a beautiful place, but also lots of wasted space and ultimately the food is just ok and pricey. I think next time I'd like to sit upstairs on their balcony (it was closed when we went) and maybe would prove for a more relaxing experience. read more

Excited to try one of the drinks and see what the hype was about. Ordered the Miami Mocha smoothie. Cashier took my name and gave me a buzzer. Waited more than 10 minutes for a single drink. No call, no buzzer. Lady asked for and gave my drink . Told her why the buzzer never sounded and how come it took more than 10 minutes. Just gave me a blank stare and never apologized. Drink could have changed the experience but it didn't. Spent $17 including tip for a small drink. It was bland, no special aftertaste and was hoping it was gonna be good but it wasn't. Not sure if I'm coming back read more

Great ambiance, delicious food and beverages and John handling service at the tables was really great and very courteous!

Excellent sandwich and drinks. Great service. Very cool atmosphere on the roof and fun DJ in the main area. As good as the one in Miami!
