Seems like Pura Vida has popped up in a lot of neighborhoods. We stopped by the Flatiron location for a weekend brunch. This location has several tables outside. The menu is large so there is something for everyone. Various eggs, smoothies, pancakes, salads, sandwiches, bowls and wraps to choose from. We ordered the falafel crunch wrap and chicken pesto sandwich. The wrap was stuffed with fresh veggies. The chicken sandwich was cooked well and quite filling. Both were very tasty and made with fresh ingredients. Great option for a healthy and quick meal! read more

Pura Vida Miami - PESTO CHICKEN, FALAFEL CRUNCH - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

stopped by on a weekday morning for a quick bakery treat. i decided to try the chocolate croissant & there was only one left in the case. the croissant had a wonderful flaky, crispy texture that paired really well with the warm dark chocolate inside. compared to other chocolate croissants i've had, this one probably had a little less chocolate filling, but the taste was still great. the contrast between the flaky layers and the soft, warm center was superb. the staff was kind, and it took about 10 minutes to get my croissant warmed up. i would say it may take a little more time than expected to get your food, especially if you're in a rush like i was. otherwise, the space is really nice. they don't have many prepared grab-and-go items, but they do have a good selection of baked goods and the option to sit down and eat. i also noticed later that they had some lunch meals available to go, which is something i'd definitely look into trying next time. read more

Came with a couple friends post workout and we were able get to seats outside on the patio. I got the chicken plate with extra steak. The steak was surprisingly good but the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. Food came out very quick and the servers helped refill our waters as well. read more

So thrilled to find Pura Vida Miami while in NYC! While expensive for a casual place, the food and ambiance were outstanding. I'm always looking for clean, healthy food and it's not always easy when traveling. This hit all of the criteria & more! At one point, I thought, where am I? You'd never know that you were in the middle of the Flatiron district. I truly did feel like I was in some sort of Miami oasis. I'll be back! read more

Very aesthetic place! Great salads. I got the Greek with chicken and it was well balanced and fresh. Will definitely be back!

This place was amazing. Walked in on my way from work and they were so nice. They let me take my time on the menu, and then I also got a free sample. Definitely will be coming back here. read more

I'm happy to see that pura vida opened in NY. If you are familiar with them, then you already know the food is expensive for being a casual place. Whether that's worth it to you is your call. It is to me- I like the high quality ingredients. It was a long wait for the food but the math is simple: they had a line at the register and were also doing takeout orders. It's only so big of a place. I think expanding the restaurant to be bigger would ruin the charm and was fine with the 15 min wait. If you just want instant food or don't like lines then maybe don't come. This is a Miami gem and I am so happy to be able to indulge it in while in NY. The interior is adorable, and I smiled big when I saw the fringed umbrellas while walking up to the door - I could spot those a mile away! read more

Pura Vida Miami - VEGGIE OMELETTE - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Raspberry croissant and a hot cappuccino. Here Pura Vida does not have skim or low fat milk. As I don't care for oat or almond milk in hot coffee I had to settle for whole milk. Lots of delivery orders are being done. Customer service is good here as a few people came up to ask if I needed anything extra. The first bite of the raspberry croissant was a little hard but now it's fine. The raspberries are oozing flavor and the pastry cream inside is also tasty. I could eat another. read more

Wanted to like this place given the hype and popularity but ended up underwhelmed. Waited in like for 15 minutes which from what I understand isn't too bad for a Sunday brunch. Ordered two bowls and two coffees but they got my order wrong and only one drink came out. But this was fine cause even though I said 2 drinks and they only inputted 1, I got the one I was charged for. Managed to get a seat and the first chicken bowl came out about 30 minutes after ordering which was very long but fine. The second bowl never came and we had to ask two separate people before the second bowl came out at around 45 minute mark. The bowls themselves were good but the crazy wait was too much and soured our experience. I understand it was busy but customer inflow control may have helped to make sure the adequate staff coverage to handle the orders coming in. The location itself was bright and clean. While the order took long to come out, they were very quick to take our bowls away the moment we were done. 2.5/5 would be my more accurate personal review though rounding up cause the food was still good. read more

This is my second time going to this location and I had a much better experience. The first time the establishment was extremely crowded and I waited a long time to receive my order. This time around, there was no crowd and I was able to get my order and sit down. I always order the gluten-free kale chicken Caesar wrap and you honestly can't even tell that it's gluten-free, which is why I love it. They always give me a side of fruit instead of the pita chips. It is on the pricier side for a wrap, but that is most places in New York City. This location is a bit smaller than the other one that I've been to, but they seem to allow people to work there and offer free Wi-Fi, which is nice. read more

Food was too expensive for the quality that you get. The portions seemed to be okay but with a fast casual sit down I would think that the prices would be a little lower Service was great and all the staff were super friendly.

I came across this restaurant while waiting for our room to be ready at The Evelyn. I ordered a latte and the New Yorker (smoked salmon on sourdough) and my bf ordered the croissant sandwich and an americano with cream. The New Yorker was packed with flavor. MY bf seemed to enjoy his sandwich. The coffee was decent and the service was good. The only thing is I wish it came with a side (like fruit or something) for the price point. Other than that, we had a good experience and would dine here again. read more

Terrific salads, but it's best to order in advance via the app because there was always a long line here during lunch EVERY time I walked by for a week! Their salads and smoothies are terrific. I really liked their large menu of fresh, healthy, creative offerings, which makes it great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is seating indoors, as well as lots of shaded seating outdoors, which I really liked. Great for people watching while you chow down, but you have to be quick to claim a table. My friend and I came at just the right time, so we snagged one. They really need to come up with a better order pickup system, however, because you have to wait indoors where it gets kind of crowded, and listen for your number, which you might miss. I recommend the restaurant start using those plastic buzzers instead. read more

Pura Vida Miami finally opened near my job! There's usually a long line during lunch, but thankfully I can order ahead through the mobile app now. A coworker recommended the spicy tuna bowl, and honestly, it was delicious -- I was obsessed with the spicy aioli sauce/dressing. That said, $26 felt a little steep. I love that they offer so many healthy options, but overall, it's definitely on the pricey side. read more

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and needed a quick, healthy bite to eat while running errands on a Friday afternoon. I always passed by here and liked the trendy, bright beach interiors. The food is delish - simple healthy classics with lots of fresh ingredients and delicious flavors! I ordered the fire egg wrap and couldn't have the spicy sauce so the server, Bryan, brought 2 other sauces (pura vida and Caesar) for me to enjoy. The pure vida sauce was a herby green with mustard that was so good. There's lots of seating space with clean bathrooms and polite and prompt service throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and time here. read more

Had a pricey but delicious workday lunch here! It definitely did transport me to Miami (loved the decor). It seemed pretty popular for both takeout and dining in. The line moved decently quick (you order at a counter and then take a number on a stand to a table). There is also free water available. The servers were all very friendly and the dishes came out pretty quickly. The portion you get with the salads is incredible and helps justify the price. I ordered the New Yorker which unfortunately was not worth the price given the portion size (the bread was also not great and way too hard to cut into). I did like the empanadas though! I would come back and try the Citrus Summer next time. read more

Love the place! Got the egg sandwich, which came with an incredible bagel and a spicy sauce on the side that was amazing. Solid cortado as well. My partner got the salmon bowl which she loved. They had a solid smoothie as well. Sunday morning is Wild West - you have to stand around and fight a bit for tables, which was not ideal. But came back on a Monday and it was great. Vibe is quite nice as well. read more

I had stayed nearby and stopped by to grab something for lunch! Got a salad, matcha, and a cookie. I ordered at the register, to dine in but it so happens that all the tables were full. They have outdoor tables, but it was extremely windy and about 40 degrees outside. There was a staff member in front greeting people at the door with a menu that told me they would let me know once a table opens up inside. They did not - the staff seemed too busy chatting with each other. Overall, I felt extremely out of place. The demographic during my visit looked predominantly white and I can't help but feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed. The staff were polite but not friendly. They were nice but did not feel genuine. It was one of those moments where I did not want to be there. With all the great reviews, this was a surprising experience. Maybe I pulled up on a wrong day or something. read more

Service is fast and friendly. Nothing compares to Pura Vida in Miami but this will do for a lil mental break from the crazy Manhattan life lol. Had the mango refresher sub coconut water and salmon avocado bowl. So good and fresh... every time, any location. Seating is a little compressed, but that is because I am comparing my experience to the original stores in miami. Love it either way. read more

Anyone that gives Pura Vida less than 5 stars honestly needs to figure out what is wrong with them. This place is truly one of a kind, the menu must've been created by a brilliant chef because the food is simply superb, every dish is top notch! On top the food being so good they have created a system to insure the preparation always looks amazing and appetizing. Even take out and delivery arrives fresh and beautifully packaged. Pura Vida is undoubtedly 10 out of 10. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this location. I ordered a specific smoothie, and the staff made the wrong one. When I brought it to their attention, they did not acknowledge the mistake, apologize, or offer any real solution. I was ignored until someone finally came over, but even then there was no effort to fix the issue or remake the smoothie. I ultimately asked for a refund because I did not want to waste any more time dealing with a staff that seemed completely disorganized and indifferent. The food may be good, but the service here is so poor that it is not worth the frustration or the time. There are plenty of places with good food where the staff actually cares about the customer experience. read more

I ordered an avocado smash and welcome to Miami smoothie. Really exceptional. The toast was kinda small but I understand this is food for super models and Instagram folk. The service was great definitely a hint of southern hospitality rare for New York where it's very transactional in this city. The managers even gave conversation while I waited for my food. I ordered take out. I noticed the seating area was at capacity. I don't know the best time to go maybe during the week while the weekend warriors are at their desks and the phones are starving for influencer fuel read more

Pura Vida Miami - Welcome to Miami .. lol they wrote my name wrong though who's Elis? I said L$ - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

I never review but honestly I ordered a toasted chicken wrap to go and btw I'm from Miami and a regular.... I ended up with a wrap that has chicken , welted weird lettuce and goat cheese and tomato's. I've never even seen that on the menu. It's so bothersome for the price I paid and to get home after walking and open this up to find something I did not order is deeply disappointing. I usually don't leave reviews but this deserved it. The staff was very nice tho I will say. But truthfully I don't want to be paying 30 dollars for a wrap to get something I didn't order and also it just be disgusting. I'm very disappointed. read more

Got the turkey egg wrap to go, and it was delicious. It had a lot of stuff inside and tasted hearty. The sweet potatoes and mushrooms worked so well with the savoriness of turkey and egg.

For the past two years, I have been a regular customer at this establishment, and today was the first time I experienced such rude and disrespectful behavior from a staff member (unfortunately, I do not know her name it started with a B) I was waiting for my order and I had two employees having a personal conversation infront of me and the girl who was being unprofessional was near the expo station and bringing food to the table. The girl at the front remained calm but the girl running the food was being very inappropriate I don't think it's appropriate for employees to having personal conversations let alone arguments Infront of a customer. I find this behavior unprofessional. Additionally, I would like to point out that this establishment is always late with online orders and the workers are not pleasant. Overall, today's incident and the behavior of this employee left a very negative impression because, employees shouldn't be arguing, in public especially infront of a customer It is truly disappointing. read more

The food here was honestly so fresh and delicious, with whole ingredients. Made me feel so full and satiated... I ordered via delivery and it was still fresh when it arrived! Tried three things from the menu: -Crunchy Veggie Wrap (4/5): really delicious vegan veggie bites (on the denser side from the chickpeas, but packed with flavor and texture)... definitely the start ingredient in the wrap, and the side of green tahini paired well! Also loved the crunchy fennel salad on the side. Wish there was a bit more texture from the avocado smash though (could barely taste it) and would have loved the option to have the wrap pressed! -Mango Salmon (4.5/5): to be honest, the salmon was cooked really well. The Pura Vida dressing was refreshing and delicious, and tomatoes were sweet and juicy. Really great salad... the combination of all the flavors in every bite made it very tasty! -Thai Almond Salad (4/5): very light and refreshing, the thai almond dressing was the star here... it is so light and has a bit of a spice kick to it. Salad could have used a bit more crunch factor and edamame/scallion though. Honestly, a great spot for a healthy satiating meal. read more

We got the charred fruit toast, the New Yorker, and the Mediterranean salmon wrap. The New Yorker and the fruit toast were great. The salmon wrap was just ok. The atmosphere was nice, through there is a "new" paint smell in the tables outside. The main reason the rating is a 4 instead of 5 is the service. I ordered for pickup and then sat at the tables. The idea is that you can pick up the food and then grab an open table. It took 40 minutes for the food to be ready. More importantly, the servers could not figure out a system for the people who ordered ahead. First, they asked me to wait outside. Then another server told other people to go inside. Another server asked for my order number. That person went inside to check for my order every so often. After I noticed that some people who ordered ahead came back out with their orders, I went inside and found my order. I also heard another server ask whether they had shut down the online ordering system because of how overwhelmed they were. Ok so the place is "new" and very popular. Maybe that's why they are overwhelmed. Well, to be clear, it's been open for at least a couple of weeks and they still have not figured out a system that works. They seem to still be playing it "by ear," on the fly. They seem to have more servers figuring out what to do than people making food in the kitchen. Having more servers doesn't seem to help. Unless they get their act together quickly, it may be best to wait until the place is less popular so that they can better handle orders. read more

I was hoping I had found my go-to lunch spot. The menu looked great. I ordered a smoothie and the salon with arugula and avocado. The smoothie was good. The salad not so much. While the greens tasted fresh, which is a win, the salmon tasted fishy and old. Needless to say I didn't eat it. For $25 I expected much better. This is a glorified sweetgreens. read more

Food is always great! Service is some of the best in NYC. So friendly and welcoming here. Sandra was great also!

This place is a favorite in Miami, and it finally came to NYC! I attended their Grand Opening today (7/19) and there was already a line when I got here at 12:15. It went pretty fast, 10-15 min or so before reaching the front. The manager was so nice, running around to pass out menus and thanking us for waiting. We also got a free blue Pura Vida tote bag. The format of this place is you order at the front, and then find seating. It was super packed so we got our food to-go, but ended up snagging a table indoors. The inside is so cute, very white and beachy with cute pops of greenery. There's a fun elevated seating area in the back too by the bathrooms. The workers are super friendly and wear the cutest scrabble letter name tags. They also kept checking in to ask how the food was and if we needed anything. Okay for the food! I ordered the Perfect Egg Sandwich, which is a sourdough bagel with soft boiled egg, avocado, arugula, tomato, mozz, and a choice of sourdough bagel (plain, everything, sesame. I got it with the plain. I also got a Lulu's Lemons juice which I heard was someone else's favorite. The bagel sandwich was so delicious! The eggs were jammy and the arugula gave a nice bite. It came with Pura Vida sauce, which is tangy and delicious and really elevated the sandwich. The juice is also tasty with the chia seeds, and the bottle is so cute! My friend got the veggie omelette which came with smashed avocado and was very good as well. I did prefer my egg sandwich though. Overall I loved Pura Vida for their fresh and tasty food and drinks, super cute space, friendly service, and overall vibe. I can really see why it's a staple in Miami. I'm so happy I stopped by on their Grand Opening and wish them all the best with their New York venture! read more

I was really excited when one of my favorite places to get an Acai Bowl in Miami opened a location in the city, and in my neighborhood nonetheless. I met my friends here for brunch and ordered the egg wrap, which unfortunately I did not love. I'm not someone that needs a lot of extras (I eat plain eggs on toast all the time) but this wrap was just kind of blah and unappealing. Perhaps my mistake was not getting the Acai Bowl, which is what I always got in Miami. Would definitely come back to try that but probably not any more food items. read more
