Three poor little northerners melting in the heat stumbled across this cafe and rejoiced! The food was all light and fresh, with good options for even the pickiest of us (grilled chicken and rice. The best egg sandwich was a bold statement, but not wrong. I wouldn't have thought soft boiled eggs would work as well as they did, but it was outstanding. Plus their signature sauce was outstanding!! The whole thing was topped off by an overdriven AC (godsend) and extremely good service (Shout out to Willy especially!). Ok, back to the sun! read more

First visit to Pura Vida Miami, and I was very impressed! I liked the decor and atmosphere - very light, bright, and clean. Such a pleasant space. I did sit outside because it was a perfect night weather wise, and the patio was nice too. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Bowl and it was delicious! The raw tuna was honestly some of the best I've had. All the textures and flavors in bowl worked so well together. The only note that would keep me from going back regularly is the price. The bowl was about $25. Granted, anything with sashimi is going to be on the pricey side, but I felt it was a bit expensive. Other than that, it was a lovely experience. The severs were very friendly when we placed our order at the counter, and they brought our meals to the table outside. I would recommend Pura Vida Miami as a great spot to sit and chat with a good meal! read more

Beautiful decor, spread out tables, lots of different seating options inside and out...it was wonderful as a first timer here. I met my friend who told me the avocado salmon bowl is fantastic, so that's what I got (sans the feta). And she was right - it was really, really good and fresh tasting. I can't say there was anything super 'special' about it, if that makes sense, but rather just delicious and the salmon was cooked really nice (not overdone!). I think this is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Also, I think it was $26 which seemed a tad over-priced especially for a smaller cut of salmon. Again, a solid four stars for that as well. I would definitely come back and try some other things. It would be a great space to get some work done, or do a meeting. Very impressed! read more

My friend and I enjoyed our calming lunch date at Pura vida Miami . So modern and Chic! . The quality of the food and freshness. We share Pesto chicken sandwich. The chicken was little overcooked however, the bread so soft and the veggies were delicious. I also believe we got the wrong sauce according to pictures. The Mediterranean salad it was delicious we added chicken.The staff was super nice and accommodating. They have plenty of parking and family environment. read more

If you haven't been to Pura Vida Miami yet what are you waiting for? This gorgeous aesthetic restaurant serves up healthier food options which pack a ton of flavor. I believe you can feel good about these menu options and it's the first place I think about when I want fresh and healthy, nutrient-dense food. This location is the furthest north in the state of a Florida and is one of two on the Gulf coast side (the other being in Naples). They have even expended to NYC and California! There is good reason this concept is going far-fresh, tastefully healthy food in a sublime setting that delivers. I have been to this location a handful of times and it never disappoints. They offer a variety of menu items: breakfast all-day, bakery items, salads, wraps, plates, bowls, sandwiches, juices, wellness shots, coffees, smoothies, açaí bowls, snacks, bottled drinks, I am a big fan of their salads, entree bowls, the açaí bowls as well as their wraps and cookies. My favorite things to get are the salmon entree bowls which are delicious and whose contents change up seasonally I think. My daughter is a huge fan of the kids' pancake box--she said the pancakes were so delicious and even better than mine (to which she gives accolades to me about)!! I love and appreciate that the pancakes are made with wholesome ingredients like sweet potatoes. The box comes with a fresh juice or lemonade and fresh fruit accompaniment. Try it for yourself! The dining room is beautiful with the artificial flora around and the interior is bright and ethereal. The seating is comfortable and I love that they have nice seating outside for Al fresco dining in a nice setting with fauna surrounding. This is an order-at-the-counter (or in advanced for pick-up or delivery) type place and you are assigned a number block and you sit at whatever table you may desire, displaying your number block. The waiting period for the food is about 15 minutes or less I'd say. On my visits I've always had helpful service by Alé, Logan, and Lily. I've never had to wait long for my food here. I enjoy there is a water spicket towards the front side of the restaurant you can get water at as needed. The staff is also helpful and responsive and checks up on your party to see if you need anything. I will continue to patronize Pura Vida Miami again and again. I am thrilled that they are in the area! read more

I love Pura Vida Miami and visit many locations in South Florida and have been to this Lakewood Ranch location a few times. Yesterday I ordered takeout and the experience left a lot to be desired. I arrived about 10 minutes after the quoted pickup time. My food was not in the takeout pickup area, so I did head to the counter. There were three staff members visible behind the front counter, one who was actively working and two, Brooke and Kari, who were talking to each other and some friends of theirs by the counter. The conversation was not work appropriate. While Brooke saw me, she was slow to approach the counter and offer assistance. When I advised I was picking something up she said it was likely being finished up, but she didn't seem to actually check at all. During this whole interaction, I could see a salad on the counter that I assumed, correctly would be mine. It sat waiting to be bagged for several minutes. This was ultimately packaged by a gentleman who appeared to be a manager who was on the phone all the time. The two girls who had been chatting with each other also spent substantial time talking with him. As he was "multitasking" this seemed to make the packaging take forever. When he bagged it he just set it on a side counter for another employee to take over to the pickup area, ignoring context clues that it might be for the sole person waiting nearby. It was just not an experience I expect from a Pura Vida, which is a pricier fast casual restaurant. As a customer, I felt ignored and not valued. read more

First time at Pura Vida, even though we have one local in Cali at South Coast plaza. Food was really good. Lots a healthy vegetarian and gluten free options. My girls are here for a soccer showcase and overall there not many healthy eating options around that I could find like this. I also like the decor of the inside as well. We'll be back. read more

A restaurant with a menu that makes edits every month? Yes please! An amiga said Pura Vida was worth the trek from St Pete to Sarasota and she was not wrong. The summer chicken bowl was delicious. The chicken was tender. The jasmine rice was cooked well. The carrots tasted fresh. The spicy soy ginger sauce was the perfect compliment. I also really enjoyed my iced tea sweetened with stevia. Every dish that came to our table was "eat the rainbow" with plenty of colourful veggies and fruits. This is a fantastic restaurant with healthy eats, beautiful branding, and a relaxed environment. read more

If you're looking for a juice bar to take a date or a place to eat a healthy breakfast with family, this is it! There is a nice looking bar area as well as comfy areas to lounge and drink. There are tables too for people who want to eat an entire meal. I ordered the Avocado Smash. It was delicious and fresh. I felt like the Chai latte had too much spice for my taste, but they were very accommodating and made me another latte. I didn't order this, but I saw a bunch of nice cappuccinos with latte art. I recommend this spot, and I would be thrilled to come here again. read more

This place is really refreshing but it's insanely expensive . Most things are these days but their cold pressed juices being $10 each is ridiculous. I got 2 cold pressed juices, a chicken wrap & a empanada and my total was over $50. I appreciate the non antibiotic chicken etc but sheesh. I'm sure I'll come back but I noticed that the açaí bowls were huge . They have outdoor seating with plenty of seats and it's in a nice area read more

I love Pura Vida! Happy I found a location in West Florida. This location was much larger than the locations I've been to in South Florida. I ordered a Matcha Latte with agave to drink. I was trying to decide which wrap to get & I asked the girl at the register what she thought & she said I can do any of the sandwiches as a wrap also. I ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich in a wrap and it was great. read more

Ahhh, I was so happy to see a Pura Vida opened here! Granted, it's still an hour from where I live... but closer than Miami, at least! It was PACKED on a bustling Saturday around lunch, but the line moved quickly and my friend and I were able to snag a table just as a group was leaving. We split one of the cookies and each ordered a breakfast meal. I got the veggie omelet, which I loved in Miami and I loved here in Sarasota. It's a perfect omelet. I'm not sure how else to describe it other than perfect. Perfectly cooked, veggies perfectly mixed in... and somehow it's pretty? The cookie was delicious too. Walnut chocolate chip, I think, and gluten free. My friend loved her croissant sandwich. Overall, we had a 5-star experience at Pura Vida! read more

Loved this cafe. They had a lot of options and food was delicious. More of a lunch place, but we ate dinner here and I enjoyed it even though it was pretty empty. I had a Kale Caesar wrap that came with pita chips on the side. My husband had a chicken pesto salad. They were both very tasty. Possibly one of the best kale Caesars I've had. Dressing was well balanced. And the pesto sauce on my husband's sandwich was delicious too. We were wondering if it would be more Costa Rican food due to the name, but it's more of a wellness menu, so don't expect Latin American food lol. I'd like to try out their coffee and croissants if we're down here in the morning. The aesthetic onside is really nice too, bright and warm. read more

So my friend took me here on my birthday week to celebrate!! I had a hard time deciding because so many items looked delicious on the menu. I chose the omelette with a side of avocado and sourdough toast! My friend had a huge croissant and the hummus plate! The food was delivered pretty quickly to our table and it was very good!! I also enjoyed a free wellness shot and chose the "glow"-all because I had downloaded the app to earn rewards! I loved the vibes-so cute inside with the trees and colors used. The lighting is bright and does "feel like Miami". This is a newer location and the staff were super attentive-taking our plates as soon as we were done. I would love to go back and enjoy one of their coffees and try some of the other items-including their açaí bowls! So glad to have them close to home! Welcome to LWR PuraVida Miami! read more

This is hands down my favorite counter service type food place. The restaurant itself is so cute and aesthetically pleasing. I've also ordered it on door dash multiple times. The avocado salmon bowl is perfection. I crave this dish often. I am picky about produce looking fresh and they do not disappoint. It's so healthy and balanced. The ahi tuna bowl was also amazing. read more

The first thing you notice when you walk in is how aesthetically pleasing the place is! Lots of natural light and beautiful interior design. I got the iced banana brew which was phenomenal - a thicker consistency that I wasn't expecting but wasn't mad about. Great flavor with the banana as well. Service was very friendly and I was checked on twice while sitting at a table during my stay. My only criticisms would be the tables weren't cleaned off when I went to find a table and the prices are a little steep. If you're wanting to study, there is a bar with outlets by the front, otherwise the other seating options don't have any from what I could tell. Overall very cool restaurant + store; I'm wanting to come back and try the food! read more

Wow, first time ever visiting a Pura Vida Miami and was very impressed. The food (kale chicken Caesar wrap) was very tasty and so healthy. Love the usage of antibody free protein. I also tried a pressed juice, the Miami Beet containing pineapple, carrot, beet, cucumber, ginger & lemon which was the bomb. Service was great and the ambiance is very clean and pristine. Def want to visit again to try a smoothie or a baked good. 10/10 experience! read more

The food is great and the service is friendly except for the one cashier who acts like she'd rather be anywhere else in the world, but the chemically scented interior loses them a star.

Don't understand all the hype? Food was good but not great and you can't inside to eat because it smells so strongly of coconut suntan lotion and there is no service because you order at the register. Hubby ordered the bagel breakfast sandwich and he had to take the top bun off because the aioli was inundated w/pepper flakes. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and it had way too many sesame seeds and the sauce was very spicy so I'm glad it comes on the side. Overall- good not great. read more

The vibe is nice. It's really beautifully decorated. The food is overpriced. I haven't had anything that really stood out in taste or flavor. In other words, every time I've eaten there, considering how much I paid for it, the price didn't match the expectations or experience. It's overrated. read more
