Pura Vida Miami

If you’re in Miami and looking for the perfect brunch spot, Pura Vida Café is easily one of the best! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The falafel crunch wrap was packed with flavor and perfectly crispy, and the veg omelet was fresh, wholesome, and super satisfying. Their freshly baked bread loaves truly stand out, the banana bread was moist and rich, and the orange coconut loaf was such a refreshing, unique treat. To top it off, their coffee and juices were just as amazing, fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to brunch. Great vibes, healthy options, and incredible taste. Definitely a must-visit in Miami!

Pura Vida Miami is consistent every single time. I kept it simple with two sides of salmon for my kids, a lemon loaf bar, and a flat white, and it delivered exactly what I expected. The salmon was clean, fresh, and perfectly cooked, simple but high quality. The lemon loaf had that bright citrus flavor without being overly sweet, and the flat white was smooth and balanced. It is slightly on the pricier side, but you are paying for quality ingredients and dependable, healthy food in a polished setting. You always know what you’re getting here, and sometimes that reliability is everything. More on social media: @ratedbymaryam

This Pura Vida Miami is the original location before the brand expanded across Florida and beyond. It’s busy, fast-paced, and full of energy. The space smells great, the vibe is strong, and it feels like a place that’s been part of the neighborhood for a long time. Service is more about flow and can be a quick pick-up or a more leisurely pace depending on the time and season. If I could suggest one thing: please bring back the Brazilian PB smoothie — it was the best!

Love this location. Food is always delicious. I am traveling one-two times from NYC and I am always excited to have breakfast here. New Yorker toast with hard boiled eggs, tuna bowl. The best healthy bakery and really great coffee ( it’s rare in Miami Beach). And special thanks to Natali, she is very attentive, provides great service. And all the staff is very friendly and nice.

Delicious food and great vibe. I got the tuna poke bowl (wrap version) and a hot matcha latte - honestly both were amazing! If you love healthy food, this will literally be a paradise for you!

I recently stopped by Pura Vida Miami and it felt like the perfect spot for a healthy and relaxed meal. The café has a bright, modern design with lots of natural light and plants, giving it a fresh and laid-back Miami vibe. The menu focuses on health-conscious dishes, including smoothie bowls, salads, wraps, and all-day breakfast options. Everything is made with fresh ingredients, and there are plenty of choices if you’re looking for something nutritious or light. I especially liked the avocado toast and the acai bowl — both were flavorful and beautifully presented. They also have a great selection of smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and coffee, which makes it a popular place for brunch or a quick breakfast before starting the day. Overall, Pura Vida Miami feels more like a wellness café than a traditional restaurant. It’s stylish, healthy, and perfect for grabbing a smoothie, brunch, or a light lunch while enjoying the relaxed Miami lifestyle.

This has become my favorite brunch place in Miami Beach! Great, tasty food, reasonable prices, and good service with a nice atmosphere. The service fee is also very reasonable, unlike some of the other places in the area. Highly recommend! Please keep up the great work and don’t change! 👏👏👏

Pura Vida in South Beach is a beautiful spot with amazing food and good service. I highly recommend going early in the morning, ideally before 8 AM, for a quiet and relaxing breakfast. Later in the day, the lines can be long, the wait frustrating, and parking tough to find—typical for South Beach. On my visit, I was fortunate to be hosted by a lovely Colombian server who was incredibly friendly to me and my mom, adding an extra warm and welcoming touch to the experience. This combination of great food, a beautiful atmosphere, and kind service makes it worth the visit.

ALEX was the best!! so helpful!! very nice and welcoming! Had some great reccomemdations for the menu.

Alex was so helpful!! Amazing food, pretty atmosphere, clean, and must have smoothies !

Vibrant, Fresh and Nourishing! Pura Vida is a beacon of health and vibrancy in South Miami. Cafe style open seating to the tunes of progressive house music, makes for an inviting experience. The attentive wait staff made it easy and efficient to navigate. Most importantly, the menu displayed a passion for quality ingredients and creativity. A lovely and fulfilling experience!

Loved this place so much - ate here twice while visiting Miami! You order at the counter, and they have outdoor seating. The tables are all covered with umbrellas so even if it's warm, there's shade. I had the spicy salmon bowl and it was delicious!! The ingredients were fresh and simple but still had a lot of flavor to them. The staff were friendly. The only complaint was that the restrooms are not kept clean.

Love! My son was asking for this avocado toast when we got home from our Miami vacation. This is the kind of food we should eat every day. Wholesome and tasty. Never thought I would write so much about an avocado toast but it was so good. It had a hint of lemony olive oil on creamy mashed avocado topped with micro cilantro and it was perfect. Speaking of perfect I had The Perfect Egg Sandwich, hearty and delicious on a, not too bulky, sesame bagel. The veggie omelette stuffed with fresh vegetables was served with a crisp arugula salad and warm sourdough toast. The coffee and lattes were outstanding making it hard to come back to our Keurig and Starbucks back home. It's pricey and portions are small by our native New Jersey standards but worth it.

I loved it here! Tried the avocado toast with salmon and it was so simple yet sooooo delicious. Went back the next day for another one, it was that good!

I had not visited this Pura Vida since 2018 and the changes they've made are amazing! They've added more tables inside and have different things on the menu. On sunday we got to try their almond croissant which was flaky and delicious, as well as their signature açaí bowl. Service is always quick Inside it is a bit small so it can get crowded to order but it's always clean 10/10 I love this spot and it's walking distance from the beach

very delicious! i appreciate how health conscious pura vida is, we need more places like this.

Another rainy day, and I chose to grab my breakfast here. They have two separate areas, one is the purchasing side and one is the eating side. I really like this concept. When I eat, I don't see waiters or waitresses waking back and forth, unless they deliver the food. There's a spiral stairs and the created different cozy spots. It's white and light colors inside, so lighting was great! I got the egg sandwich and a matcha latte. My day startEd with everything so simple, love it!

I keep coming back to Pura Vida in South Beach for a quick tea or smoothie and sometimes breakfast too. The food is good and they claim to use fresh ingredients which would explain the prices but I still think it is a little overpriced taking into account the portions. The space is beautifully decorated and the ambiance is welcoming. They have tables outside and now they expanded a little more and have extra covered space to the side. The new space is not connected to the main entrance and kitchen so you do have to walk outside to get there. Staff is usually nice and willing to help if needed. Last time I was there I tried the Coco Azul smoothie and I loved it, it does have spirulina but can't really taste it. My favorites include the Chocolate PB and the Supergreens smoothies.

Another overpriced healthy brunch place on Miami Beach, because we don't have enough of those. It should be criminal to charge 14 dollars for an egg sandwich with a dash of avocado. But at least it's a good egg sandwich with a side of pesto like "Pura Vida" sauce. It's labeled as the perfect egg sandwich, but it would be perfect if it was a little cheaper. My friend and I also got a spinach and cheese empanada for 3.95 which was pretty clean tasting. But you can also get a nice meat empanada at the Versailles airport stall for 2.95. Do what you will with that information. Ambiance is reliant on the weather outside. Since it was a nice day with a light breeze, my friend and I sat outside and enjoyed our breakfast in peace. There's a lot of tables outside and many people take their breakfast to go so there were plenty of tables to choose from. Service interaction is minimal since you just order from the counter and get your food taken to you. The servers are nice, friendly, and unintrusive. Overall, you can't go wrong with any of the food here. The quality is great and you get what you pay for but don't expect any mind-blowing offerings. I think it's a little overpriced but it is to be expected anywhere on South Beach.

Good food but lady behind the counter taking my order did not understand what I was saying. I am pregnant and asked if the smoked salmon could be heated before it was put on my sandwich. Not that difficult to understand, even if not possible to do for whatever reason. She thought I was asking for the grilled salmon as a substitute, despite me trying to explain four times. I do not want to support places that cannot cater to ENGLISH SPEAKERS.

The best desserts I've ever eaten in my life, and the girl working at the cash register was very sweet, I think her name was Ale :)

We walked around the corner from our hotel to grab a quick breakfast from this place. I had the perfect egg sandwich. It was sooooo good! I had it on plain bagel. But it was light and filling. It had the right amount of protein to vegetable. They didnt skimp on the avocado mash either. Every bite, I had avocado oozing out. We desperately needed something light so this was the perfect option. My husband had the breakfast wrap. It came with scrambled eggs with turkey bacon, mushrooms, potatoes, arugula, and aioli. It was a pretty good bite. Potatoes were a little too big and it fell out of the wrap. The peach and black tea was super refreshing and delicious. We sat outside when the weather wasn't too hot yet, so it was nice having breakfast like that.

Such a cute coffee shop in Miami! I loved how Pura Vida's interior exuded tropical, bohemian vibes. The drinks were good, though a bit overpriced in my opinion. The workers were kind as well. We noticed there were many Pura Vida locations in Miami! Next time I'm in the area, I definitely want to try their brunch--it looks super yummy!

I love this place, im a loyal fan of Pura Vida and love the service. Naty is the best!

They don't take cash. I won't be back. Salt and pepper shakers would be nice. Had to make two trips to the counter They do not have real server service 1 get more ice for my iced coffee that was warm 2. To get a new fork mine was bent Food and staff were great

I got a classic acai bowl here and added extra granola.. why was a small sample cup of granola $2?? They should be giving that for free since a small acai bowl is 14$ and they include tip in your food. If you are automatically adding service fee to the bill even when you are ordering takeout, I expect the service to be fast, efficient, and friendly. However, it was none of those and it was extremely slow. The acai bowl itself was mediocre. It was nothing special and seemed like something you can make at home. Seems like a tourist trap to me..

Guys! The fragrance in this place is ridiculous. I literally walked in today and your perfume machine sprayed me in the face and eyes. You can't even taste your food. It's so freaking strong. I feel like I'm going back into old-school Hollister lol

Loved this spot so much last time I visited, I knew I had to return on my next trip and it did not disappoint. Very cute interior where you order at the counter and seat yourself at ample outdoor seating. Great coffee and breakfast items- we had the perfect breakfast sandwich and turkey egg wrap. All very healthy choice- highly recommend!

Large portions, nice environment and healthy feel.   I stopped by Pura Vida for a casual lunch. When I walked in I was greeted at the door and handed a menu to look through while standing in line. There were many options on the menu such as bakery items, salads, sandwiches, wraps, açaí bowls and much more. I got the "PESTO CHICKEN SANDWICH". The sandwich was good. It was light but still very filling.   In terms of the size of Pura Vida, it was a small place. The inside is mainly a place to order and grab your food. There is seating outside which is good for smaller groups. Both the inside and the seating outdoors were pretty clean.   Overall, if you're looking for a casual lunch where you want to enjoy yourself and feel that you are eating healthy, I recommend you try Pura Vida.

Pura Vida has always been my favorite on south beach. Today I have the kale chicken salad wrap and it was delicious as usual. The ingredients are so fresh every time. We also enjoy the outdoor seating with the cute umbrellas. When we don't order online, the employees bring it right to your table so no need to stand and wait.

We come to Miami Beach a few times a year and always look forward to having a delicious, healthy meal here. . We're thrilled that the newest location in South Beach (Collins @ 16th) just opened! We just had a delicious breakfast there and I cannot speak highly enough of Edward! His extraordinary level of customer service and his genuine friendliness & engagement really made our day! The outdoor was eating area is beautiful, sunny, laid-back and spacious - lovely ambiance! Perfection in all areas !

Always a delicious and healthy treat to stop by Pura Vida and enjoy breakfast or a smoothie. It's always busy so I order ahead on their app which can be glitchy at times. Finding a table is also tough a peak times but the food is always fresh and service is friendly.

Pura vida is a staple in Miami. This is my first time going to this location. I wanted to get something post yoga. I wanted a refreshing smoothie. I went for the Supergreens smoothie. But $15 for a smoothie is too steep. It was a good smoothie. But nothing out of this world. I personally prefer other smoothie spots like Under the Mango Tree. I got an Americano. The aesthetic here is definitely 'That girl' aesthetic. Perfect for the gram and a healthy option on the go. I will definitely opt for a bowl next time and get my full money's worth .

Amazing ambiance and great for groups as well! It is for sure on the more pricey side and Acai Bowls are not that much. Great combination and it tastes really fresh and great. Staff was friendly and welcoming!

Health, fresh, and tasty is ALWAYS a win in my opinion. Then, to add on that it sustained me for the rest of the evening, I must say that that is a win. This was my first time trying an açaí bowl and absolutely had no complaints. I had the signature açaí bowl that had fresh fruit, granola, and coconuts cuttings. It wasn't overbearing sweet, yet very satisfying. The inside is very cute and nice with a ton of options of sweet treats. They also had nice outdoor seating, which we of course opted for.

Very good food and excellent service , me and my family stop here for a breakfast and was quality of ingredients and great taste.

Pure Vida is an amazing hidden gem of South Beach. Ran into its beautiful location whilst in the area and it did not disappoint to fulfill my hunger lol. Although a little pricey (as expected for the area) the food was honeslty worth it. The bowls were big portioned and the refreshers hit the spot! Will deff be back.

Ate here so much on a recent vacation I really don't know how to visualize my life without it. The smoothies are incredible and the vegan coffee cake was consumed way too often. The vegan chocolate chip cookies are bomf and my daughter said her grilled cheese was one of her fave meals the whole trip. It def is not vegan and wish if offered a few more vegan items namely vegan protein for salads what up w that??? The house salad was shockingly good for a simple food item- would get it again ANY night. Hummus exceptional and great crudités that are large and fresh w it. Honestly going to miss this place. The only downside is it does get a bit busy and I don't know how great the flow of traffic is. I think they could do a little better there. Totally worth the hassle though and there's tons of outdoor and indoor seating.

Super cute place, best almond croissant! This place is way over priced though not even just a little bit but way overpriced for what it is, and they do not like substitutions. Good to grab a juice or health shot or coffee but the food is just okay.

Pura Vida - Sunset Harbor This place is ridiculous. Even for my to/go order, really? Pura Vida is now charging a 12% service charge on all orders. And then asks for a tip. For just an order at the counter.

This place was way expensive for what it was. The Welcome to Miami smoothie was alright but definitely not worth $10- I felt the same way about The New Yorker ($16 for those slices is crazy). The meal itself was decent but a rip off for what we paid for. There are definitely a ton of other spots in the area where you can get a better bang for your buck. The space itself was pretty nice.

My daughter saw this place on TikTok and insisted that we come here for lunch. The food was good, but the time to get it was not worth it. After about 5 minutes in line, we placed our order at 11:34 am (per the time stamp on our receipt). The food came out 43 minutes later, at 12:17 pm. Would have been nice if, when we ordered, a warning had been given about delays in the kitchen, but there was no warning. Just know that, if you come here, you have no idea how long you'll have to wait after ordering.

Slow and staff is super aggressive. If you enjoy waiting half an hour for a smoothie and standing outside in the rain, this is your place!

Great spot to get breakfast, lunch or a bite while on the go. They have recently added more seating space outside which makes it convenient to enjoy your food there. This is their home location and although they have grown other the years to all parts in Miami, their quality hasn't suffered. The price point is $20 per item I feel but some lunch items are a bit higher than that. I love their perfect egg sandwich as well as their Miami Mocha smoothie. Great place for lunch o keep returning to.

Advice to anyone who buy from here: DO NOT LEAVE ANY TIP - It's already included! Advice to management: PUT A SIGN FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW TIP IS ALREADY ADDED! One star for ripping off tourists and other people. They add tip automatically! A crooked management by adding tip and asking tourists to add tip again! I hate crooks and this company with this policy by NOT disclosing that the TIP was already added deserves 0 ZERO stars! Be aware!!!! When asking for receipts, they act like you're asking them an arm and a leg, because they don't like that customers to see that they charged twice the tip. P.S. I don't have a problem with leaving tips, nor that $1.16 it's a big deal. I just hate the way how they practice this. From customer point of view this is crooked!

Banana latte was so delicious! Gorgeous breakfast place near the beach We will be back next time!

Leaving the 5 stars for the spicy tuna bowl! Vegan veggie bite plate was okay. Chai tea latte wasn't the tastiest but overall pleasant experience!

Amazing service, food and place!!!! ambience is INCREDIBLE PERFECT Had almond berry toast

Food was fine but pretty overpriced. It was pretty crowded on Sunday morning but they bring the food out to your seat. Clean and service was good. Just not worth the price. Probably won't be coming back.

Everything is yammy! Place can be a bit crowded, but it all good! Service is good! Healthy and vegetarian

Quality ingredients, plenty of options on the menu. Multiple seating areas outside and inside the corner of the building.

During my trip to South Beach I came here twice. I noticed there were several Pura Vida locations throughout Miami but this location seems to be ideal as it is relatively close to the beach but away from the hustle and bustle of traffic near 7th Avenue. My hotel was near 7th Avenue, see my Goodtime Hotel Yelp review. At Pura Vida, the service was friendly and the staff seemed very attentive. On my second visit I waited on a cushioned seating area outside while enjoying the warm weather and to my surprise they brought me my smoothie. I ordered the Chocolate Peanut Butter smoothie, which was silky in texture with a hint of chocolate. Both flavors were blended and balanced well so the chocolate flavor didn't dominate nor did the peanut butter. When the staff handed me my smoothie I was shocked they recognized and remembered me. I continued to sit in the seating area which was quaint and cozy. It's a little nook away from the sidewalk tables and it was a nice place to rest for a minute and enjoy my smoothie. Healthy food options abound at Pura Vida.

Everything is good except Lulus Lemon for 11$. Thants insane! Hope to come here again soon to reasonable price

We got the Perfect Egg Sandwich with soft boiled egg on everything bagels and it was absolutely incredible - fresh and filling. We sat inside with the cutest decor and bright airy Miami feel (but also Air Conditioning) The guy who bussed our food was Nicolas, he was amazing! Very friendly and delivered everything quickly.

Vicky was really nice! Her food suggestions were amazing! In definitely coming back soon, awesome place!

Chic restaurant on South Beach that we visited for the first time this week. From the get go, I didn't like the structure of how you order your meal. They don't have waiters at the table. You stand in line following their strict rules of separation- kind of reminded me of the soup kitchen on that "Friends"episode that was so funny- You stand on the "mobile order line" or stand at the "eat at the restaurant line." Both long and annoying. They have these delicious looking croissants that are next to the girl that finally takes your order when you reach your turn in line, that are as accessible as statues in a wax museum. I wanted to just buy one and grab it "to go" but instead had to go back to my table and wait patiently for the part time pretend waiters. My husband does not like lines and if he would have seen the one I was in- he would have left. But he was seated in the main restaurant which is some distance from the "ordering area". I didn't like having to wait in line as if I was at Mc Donald's especially since we were having breakfast and had just walked 10 blocks to find them. The prices do not match this "stand in line and wait behind 7 people" we spent 70 dollars on avocado toast, orange juice, Oat-milk coffee, egg and cheese croissant, and almond croissant. The food was fresh and tasty. Especially the egg croissant sandwich, but one does not feel very welcoming with no waiter, no water, and a long line. The background music that was playing was also a bit loud. Although I did love the fact they played one of my old favorites: Ma Cherie amour and that quickly cheered me up and brought back memories. The restaurant serves well prepared healthy food, it is clean and very pretty, and seems to be quite popular. I just wish they wouldn't make you stand in line to order and they would do things the old fashioned way! Just my humble opinion.. I truly appreciate the kind and thoughtful response from the manager..I look forward to checking it out again in the near future!

My friends and I came here on a Friday morning to find a long line and scant tables available. Since I had to hold the fort down in claiming a table, I did not get to experience being inside or the service. However, a 10% off discount is offered when initially checking in on Yelp, just as a heads up if you plan on placing a hefty order. We had a variety of items including their mango smoothie, açaí bowl, salmon bowl, chicken sandwich, vegan banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. Presentation and taste was spot on and consistent! Usually things look good but flavor falls flat, however I was not disappointed. I appreciated the time spent to prepare all items properly with love and care. Biggest downside is the cost but I would love to come back next time I visit.
