Pura Vida Miami
3333 Bristol St #1807, Costa Mesa, CA
Crema's Take
“Pura Vida Miami brings a bright, casual energy to Costa Mesa with its open, airy interior that's perfect for lingering over breakfast or meeting friends. While their counter-service setup keeps things efficient even during busy Saturday rushes, the real draw is their thoughtfully crafted bowls and smoothies—generous portions that taste noticeably fresher and better than their Instagram-friendly presentation suggests. Fair warning: the music runs loud, and occasional order mishaps happen, but friendly staff and genuinely good food make it worth a visit if you're seeking that laid-back, feel-good vibe.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Went with my daughter last Saturday. It was fairly busy, but the wait wasn’t too bad. Seating is first come, first served — we placed our order at the counter and then found a table, which was manageable even during peak time. The staff was efficient, and the drinks were…
Pura Vida at South Coast Plaza surprised me in the best way. The food tastes way better than it looks, in that clean, healthy, feel good kind of way, and I honestly did not walk in expecting to love it. The chicken was a bit on the drier side, but for this style of meal, that’s…
