Pura Vida Miami

It honestly feels like you’re in Miami even though you’re in New York — the vibe, the music, the whole atmosphere is very fresh and relaxed. The food was delicious and everything tasted really fresh. Simple, good flavors done right. And Glow, our server, was great — super kind and attentive. Overall, such a good experience. We’ll definitely be back.

I've been hooked on Pura Vida since my first acai bowl in Miami Beach, and now that they've brought that same tropical magic to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, it's officially my cross-country happy place. Whether I'm grabbing a quick breakfast in the Florida heat or a post-yoga lunch by the East River, this spot never misses—always fresh, always feel-good, and always leaving me with that "why isn't every meal like this?" glow. Let's start with the food, because chef's kiss doesn't even cover it. Their acai bowls are legendary: thick, creamy bases piled high with granola, fresh fruit, and nut butters that actually taste like they were picked that morning (pro tip: add the bee pollen for that extra zing). In Miami, I devoured the Summer Bowl—mango, pineapple, and quinoa vibes that transported me straight to the beach. Over in Williamsburg, the Thai Salad stole the show: crisp greens, spicy basil rice, tender chicken, and a dressing that's equal parts tangy and addictive. Everything's clean, chef-driven, and packed with superfoods—no heavy regrets, just sustained energy that lasts all day. Oh, and the smoothies? The mango one is basically liquid sunshine—refreshing, not too sweet, and way better than anything from a juice bar chain. Service is another win: fast, friendly, and genuinely warm, like chatting with old friends who happen to make killer coffee. Miami spots (shoutout to the Coral Gables and Midtown locations) have that spacious, light-filled ambiance with outdoor tables perfect for people-watching, while Williamsburg's Kent Ave outpost nails the urban-oasis feel—cozy patio, high vibes, and a menu that screams "Miami transplant" without trying too hard. Staff like Sofi in Brooklyn go above and beyond, swapping out extras with a smile. Prices are fair for the quality—$15-20 for a hearty bowl or salad that doesn't skimp—and it's all gluten-free/vegan-friendly without feeling forced. If you're in either spot, skip the lines (they move quick) and treat yourself. Pura Vida isn't just a meal; it's a mood booster. I've recommended it to everyone from fitness buddies to brunch crews, and they all come back converts. Keep spreading that pure life—can't wait for the next location!

I absolutely love this Pura Vida! The energy is always joyful, the team is genuinely caring, and the space itself is beautiful and uplifting. Grateful for the delicious, healthy food and the love that goes into everything they do. I stop by there after my sauna sessions and it’s already my ritual, adds up to my happy life! Highly recommend!

My friend and I really enjoyed our lunch there. I had the spicy tuna bowl it was so tasty and fresh I’ll definitely get it again . The restaurant is very nicely decorated, very clean, it’s also a pretty large space and strollers friendly. Big plus: the staff were extremely nice, great vibe. They also have adorable macarons for dogs and cute merchandise.

Service was a struggle on a winter Friday night (had to ask where our food was) and then my salad was missing sunflower seeds (I know because my fiance had the same plate but hers had it, lol). Food wise ... it was surprisingly filling and the sauce that came with the salmon dish was tasty.

Service with Glow (Gloria) was amazing! Her energy, kindness and welcoming nature set the tone for my experience. With this being my first time here, i am impressed by the atmosphere and energy! Just came in to catch up with a friend - this was the perfect place to catch up! Will definitely be back again!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An Absolute Gem in Greenpoint! Pura Vida Miami at 25 Kent Ave is hands down one of the most beautiful and inviting spots I’ve visited in NYC. The space is airy and full of natural light, with sunlight streaming in through large windows that give the whole place a warm, golden glow. The atmosphere is both relaxing and vibrant—perfect for getting work done during the day or enjoying a cozy, romantic date at night. The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re into healthy bowls, fresh juices, or something heartier, you’ll find something amazing on the menu. And the service? Fantastic. The staff is kind, attentive, and genuinely wants you to have a great experience. What really stands out is the overall vibe—it feels like a little tropical escape right in the heart of Greenpoint. The seating is super comfortable, and the décor is modern with just the right touch of beachy charm. I felt completely at ease here. I’m already looking forward to coming back. Whether you’re looking for a work-friendly café or a stylish date spot, Pura Vida Miami is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Pura Vida Williamsburg is a true gem! The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish feels like it was crafted with care. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. Zebo went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind, he made us feel right at home and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. If you’re in Williamsburg, don’t miss this spot — Pura Vida lives up to its name with food and service that radiate pure life and joy. Pura Vida Williamsburg is a true gem!

One of my new fave spots! Went here a few nights ago, my son's graduation celebration, with Kinnect. This place is so beautiful and it was squeaky clean. My daughter had raved about this place for months. I can tell you first hand, she wasn't exaggerating... We were served empanadas, spinach, beef and chicken. I listed in the order in which I liked the most. So good, not oily. Tasted so fresh and delicious. They also served 2 Types of salad, both delicious, 2 wraps, chicken and salmon. The salmon was my fave. They served their bottled fresh juices. And for desert, cookies! They are DELICIOUS! The service was terrific. Staff and manager were amazing and so attentive. Great night, look forwarding to visiting again :)

The food was very fresh, but it took a very long time for the food to come out. And then they forgot part of our order so that took even longer.. The vibes are very nice and staff was kind

You know when you return from vacation and all you want is detox food. This was EXACTLY what I was craving, I wanted a substantial salad and smoothie. Its a bit on the pricey side but worth because the portions are huge. Very cute aesthetic too. I recommend the Jen's salad and papaya smoothie

This is definitely my go-to lunch spot. Each time I order, I get quick and friendly service, consistently great food and feel like I'm transported to Miami. What more can you ask for? The summer chicken bowl is by far my favorite menu item. 10/10!! If you enjoy spice, ask for their hot sauce on the side. Delish!

I'm satisfied! I have been on the hunt for the best gf chicken Cesar salad wrap and this one takes the cake. I loved that the kale wasn't overly dressed and the chicken was perfectly cooked with a nice bite to it. They also give you a side of dressing on the side which was nice to use as you eat the wrap. The portion size is also huge to the point that I didn't even feel hungry by dinner. I also ordered the mango pineapple refresher which was good, but a bit too sweet for my liking. The service for my order was pretty fast but my sister ordered the salad version and it took a long time. However, the customer service was great there. Every time someone passed by our table they would pick up any scraps and ask if we needed anything. The actual restaurant is beautifully designed and light and airy. They had many tables and you can seat yourself and just order at the counter. They also have strong wifi and many people were there working on their laptops. Dogs are also allowed inside. Now to the reason why they are getting 4 stars: the price. $30 on a lunch just feels a bit too steep for Brooklyn. Honestly anywhere. The table was also sticky and we had to wipe it ourselves. Idk if it is the sealer they used on the wood or what but even after the wipe it felt a bit sticky. Overall, if you want a nice healthy meal I would check them out but be prepared to pay a pretty penny.

Ordered online for pick up. Interior looks like an upscale instagram worth brunch spot! Very chic. I got the coco azul and avocado smash toast. The drink was refreshing! It contains coconut water, banana , pineapple, mango, blue spirulina, collagen protein, hemp seed, shaved coconut. The avocado toast was interesting, they added cilantro on it. First time having avo toast with cilantro! They have a side counter for take outs which is very convenient.

As close to Miami as you can get without the plane tickets! Loved this spot on Miami Beach and their first Brooklyn location has all the same tropical vibes as the Floridian ones. Big wide cushioned white booths, couches, and pillows, green and lush plants, high ceilings and tall windows with sunlight coming in. Their Supergreens smoothie is delicious, so fresh and sweet and savory, with kale, apple, spinach, pineapple and more. Going back for this smoothie, couch seating, and their really good veggie wrap. 5 stars!!!!

My friends and I ordered lunch to go from here and everything was so delicious and fresh! We got the Greek salad, Thai salad, and summer bowl and loved it all. My friend who has been here many times raved highly about the tuna here and I look forward to trying it next time!

TL:DR: great spot to eat and catch up while feeling like you're in Miami and escaping the cold lol Got the salmon wrap- would get again Service: super nice workers Ambiance: feels like Miami, I'm coming back

Underwhelming açaí bowl with missing toppings. A replacement was kindly offered. Nice Miami feel but food and drinks can swing either way.

Ordered: Iced Banana Brew (~$8): espresso, oat mylk, banana, date, cinnamon Coco Azul Smoothie (~$12): coconut water, banana, pineapple, mango, blue spirulina, collagen protein, hemp seed, shaved coconut Super Greens Smoothie (~$12): spinach, kale, cucumber, ginger, celery, pineapple, green apple, lemon Perfect Egg Sandwich (~$15): pasture-raised soft-boiled eggs, arugula, tomato, mozzarella, smashed avocado, olive oil, red pepper flakes, side of pura vida sauce on everything bagel scooped out & toasted Nutella Banana Bread (~$7) Aya's take: A number of Pura Vida locations have popped up in NYC, and it was finally time I give it a try. This location is stunning and really gives off Miami vibes. Cutting right to the chase -- the Coco Azul Smoothie was absolutely divine. It's a beautiful soft blue color, it tasted tropical, subtly sweet and creamy. I loved it! I also enjoyed the Nutella Banana Bread more than I thought. I wish they warmed it up but it was dense, satisfying, and rich. The soft-boiled eggs in the Perfect Egg Sandwich make this super unique but I will say the bagel was way too tough. We even asked them to scoop out the insides which they didn't. Had the bagel been fresh, I think it would've been a different experience. The pura vida sauce also didn't seem fitting for this sandwich; I would've preferred a spicy mayo or chipotle aioli sauce. No complaints about the toppings inside - these are all "perfect" choices (pun intended). The Iced Banana Brew was a let down sadly and the Super Greens Smoothie didn't do it for me. All in all, Pura Vida has some hits & misses. I would try their other menu items if I find myself back.

i was obsessed with this spot in miami - so glad they opened in NYC after hanging out in the sun on a roof i wanted a filling yet refreshing dinner. therefore no better spot than pura vida! i ordered a tuna wrap and it really hit the spot with flavors, protein levels, and being healthy 10/10 recommend, the location in BK is so good with indoor / outdoor seating only con is its incredibly expensive otherwise i love it here

Have always gone to the Miami locations every time I'm in town and was so so so excited to hear that New York was getting some locations itself . The best in everything. My favorite is the coco azul smoothie always so refreshing on a nice hot day. Their breakfast is great but this time I opted for the Thai salad and added some raw tuna. Excellent, but not surprised because really everything is. The staff is amazing always looking to help and the place itself is gorgeous. Definitely some place to stop by whether you're busy working and need a quick lunch or a coffee break. Always amazed by this place and so happy to have one nearby!!

Excellent healthy food restaurant. Everything is fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care put into each dish. Mey's service is very friendly

Wow. I'm speechless. This place is INCREDIBLE. Best salmon avocado bowl that I have ever had. Strawberry matcha latte is delicious and made with fresh strawberries and high quality matcha. The interior is beautiful. Amazing vibes. I highly recommend and cant wait to go back try more things.

The best experience in care and food. Maria treated me very kindly. Jose was also very kind.

Feels like stepping into Miami. Great ambiance, posh seating, friendly staff, awesome healthy menu.

Food is fantastic and I love the vibe in here. If you want healthy food that fills you up but is so good, come here.

The best place ever. Jose the server is amazing and very sweet, our child is pleased with everything at Pura Vida.

Jose was amazing.. so sweet and professional he made his way over to our table to check in and make sure we had what we needed. a delight.. I will return

Amazing place. Jose is so helpful! Food perfect and great seating. Never disappoints!

Pura Vida finally made it to Williamsburg, and they absolutely nailed it. The space is surprisingly large for the neighborhood--open, airy, and beautifully designed without feeling overdone. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and stay a while. What really sets this location apart is the phenomenal customer service and insane efficiency of the team. Whether you're dining in, picking up, or ordering delivery, everything runs like a well-oiled machine. No chaos, no confusion--just fast, friendly service every time. I've ordered the PB Lover and their coffee more times than I can count, and the consistency is unreal. Every single order is made exactly right, whether it's a busy morning or a random weekday afternoon. That kind of reliability doesn't happen by accident--it speaks to the rigorous training and high standards no matter who's behind the counter. Williamsburg didn't just get another café--we got a Pura Vida that operates at peak performance. Huge fan already.

This place is quite the vibe. Serving healthy comfort food in a white lounge and natural light area with chill house music. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They checked on us a few times and ensured we got our salmon bowl, smoothie and empanada. The portions were pretty big for the both of us so we shared the salmon bowl. We enjoyed our food and rest after a long morning of walking in Williams burg.

My go to for a healthy breakfast or lunch. The staff is so friendly as well. My personal favorite is the spicy tuna bowl but everything is really great.

Kale chicken caesar wrap (no dressing) and chicken and rice soup via delivery. I've ordered this multiple times, very yummy and filling, a lot of chicken and kale but almost no parm this time. Soup was really good and the quality of the chicken in the soup is great, no slime and no weird pieces or textures.

Great food and great service. I had the poke wrap. Delicious and healthy. Thank you Mel :)

Really lovely experience! The interior is beautiful, it's also a great space to work from (amazing wifi) though you do have to search for outlets! Pricey for sure - would recommend the chicken Caesar wrap I have no idea why it's so good it just is!!!

Great customer service and food! Lovely space to come for lunch during a work day or even for a smoothie to go x

Everything here is great! Wraps, salad, and breakfast. It's even better visiting in person. Very clean and quick to stop by for lunch

Love coming here. Lil pricey, but food and service is A+. Also place is clean and looks amazing. to staff.

Meca was very helpfully! food was amazing , a lot of options. In general the place is very clean and cozy, staff is friendly, I had a great time

everyone is so kind and the food is not only delish, but FRESH and the portion sizes are great for the price . perfect lunch spot.

Clean and bright food matching the clean and bright atmosphere. You order at the counter but The staff was also very well attentive to your needs.

Amazing food & atmosphere. Easy to work from with your laptop. Glow was very helpful with helping secure a table with an outlet during the lunch rush hour.

The food, atmosphere and service was fantastic. The redtaurant is very stylist and the pricing was resonable. Will definitely be back!

This is my favorite breakfast/lunch place to go. Everything on the menu is amazing. I haven't had anything I don't like. The atmosphere and service is amazing as well.

The Williamsburg location has been an amazing addition to the neighborhood. It is clean, delicious, and cozy. Although it is a faster paced restaurant, the service is impeccable, shout out to Jose!!!

I would recommend everyone to visit this place as the food is so good! Mel gave us amazing service and was so sweet to us the whole time.

So glad this place opened up. It's spacious with delicious food, and the staff were great (especially Marcos. My goddaughter dropped her pita chips on the floor and he brought us a new bowl So sweet and attentive.) We went early-ish 11am on a Saturday and were able to grab a table easily, but the later it got, the more packed it became so def recommend going on the early side if you don't wanna wait for a table to free up. We def will be back.

Food is incredible, place is SUPER clean and comfy to eat in, and staff is extremely pleasant. My new favorite spot in the neighborhood for lunch.

Amazing, food, service and ambiance. Very friendly staff, Timia always with a smile on her face and making sure you get your food just how you like it. Beautiful decor and place to hangout and enjoy your favorite food.

The food here is really good, a bit pricey though even compared to NYC standards. Spacious and good ambience. Here is where our dining experience was ruined. Both the restrooms did not have soap in the soap dispenser. And then one of the faucets stopped working. We informed the staff who then told us that they ran out of soap. Are you kidding me? Go get soap from a supermarket close by. Where is the staff washing their hands when they use the restroom, same people who are preparing and serving food here. We walked out feeling extremely grossed out.

This place is great! Amazing food, great service and friendly staff. But truly, the food keeps bringing me back.

Great vibe, felt as if was in Miami. Food and service was top notch as well. The location was stunning and the pillows were a nice touch. Will be back soon.

They actually took 25 whole minutes for a single smoothie with 4 ingredients not cool

This place is not it. The food is consistently *fine*, the service is spotty (takeout without utensils in the bag after I confirmed they were, confusing pickup system for to go orders, menu printed for you to read while standing around awkwardly in the middle of the restaurant). The prices are too high for the quality and the decor looks all fake. Would much rather support a small, local business.

Randy, Kris, and Mica provided exceptional service as always. they always put a smile on my face.

this is a lively friendly spot for excellent coffee with good breakfast options. a pleasant clean environment. Mia at the order counter was terrific and helpful since this was my first time here. I'll be back tomorrow!
