Fresh ingredients, healthy options, and great flavors. What stood out most was how happy and welcoming the staff seemed—they created a positive atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. A reliable spot for a quick, satisfying meal in NoMad.

A really cute restaurant cafe, with great breakfast items.<br>We tried the signature acai bowl (topped with granola, shredded coconut, fresh strawberries, banana & pineapple) & the perfect egg bagel sandwich (a bagel of your choice with soft boiled eggs, arugula, tomatoes & guacamole, served with an amazing sauce). The food was super delicious, and the ingredients felt very fresh and nourishing.<br><br>The only thing we ordered I didn't really like was the green detox juice, as it wasn't sweet enough imo.

Response from the owner

Maya, we're so glad you enjoyed the acai bowl and perfect egg bagel sandwich, and that the fresh ingredients felt nourishing! Thanks for the feedback on the green detox juice – we appreciate you letting us know it wasn't quite sweet enough for your taste.

I absolutely LOVED my experience at Pura Vida! We ordered a signature açaí bowl and the falafel bowl! Holy cow both were AMAZING! The atmosphere is calming with a coastal feel. Food came out rather quickly and all service workers were kind! We got the Chlorphyll water and it was very refreshing. We left feeling full and rejuvenated.

Response from the owner

Emily, we're so glad you loved your experience and enjoyed both the signature açaí bowl and falafel bowl! It's wonderful to hear that you found the atmosphere calming and left feeling full and rejuvenated. Thanks for highlighting our team's kindness and for trying the Chlorophyll water!

I had such a great experience at Pura Vida. The atmosphere is fresh, relaxed and beautifully designed, perfect whether you want a healthy brunch, a light lunch or just a good coffee. Everything we ordered was delicious, super fresh and thoughtfully prepared. You can really feel the quality of the ingredients.<br><br>A special thank you to Manu, who helped us during our visit. He was incredibly kind, attentive and welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. It is rare to find service that feels both professional and genuinely warm.<br><br>Definitely a place I would come back to and recommend to anyone looking for something vibrant, healthy and full of good energy.

Pura Vida in nomad is truly a stable. This place is good for breakfast lunch or dinner grab and go or sitting and enjoying with a friend. The food is so clean and delicious. I come every morning for a coffee. All their salad. Salads are also amazing. Lou had been particularly helpful recently and very hospitable.

Love Pura Vida! Always went to it in Miami and so happy it’s now in NYC! I got the kale Caesar salad with oven roasted salmon and the staff was incredible. Sandra in particular was amazing and checked in on us throughout our meal to make sure we were satisfied. She also brought us a bunch of additional things like extra dressing and a lemon wedge upon our request, which she brought promptly. Amazing experience and can’t wait to go back!

Response from the owner

It’s a pleasure to hear that you had such a positive experience, Alexandra! Your support is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to your next visit <3

So goooood!! After a week of fries, tacos, burgers and cake this was the perfect cafe to have some 'less processed' food containing some vitamins. I got my coffee iced with pistachio milk, which I never tried before. I loved it so much, it's making me want to move to New York as we don't have this in the Netherlands.<br><br>It was also nicely decorated, very light and lots of plants making it feel like a little escape from the big city. I was really jealous of my dad, cause his yogurt bowl was looking helllla good.

Response from the owner

Thanks for the 4-star rating, Lotte. Can’t wait for your next visit.
