About Pura Vida - Bryant Park

Based on the reviews, Pura Vida at Bryant Park brings a little piece of Miami to the heart of Manhattan. The food is fresh, flavorful, and healthy, with high-quality ingredients. Specific meals mentioned include the salmon lox with over-easy eggs, acai bowls, Overnight Oats, Salmon Avocado Bowl, and banana bread with Nutella. The blended drinks are also fresh and light. The space is bright, airy, and stylish, with soft lighting and pleasant music. However, the restaurant can be slow to make food and is often crowded. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality makes it feel worth it. The service is generally good and friendly. While some found the service not particularly exceptional, the hospitality and professionalism of one staff member was deeply appreciated. A common complaint involves a "milk policy" that restricts protein smoothies to almond milk only, with requests for oat milk being denied. Despite this, the location right next to Bryant Park is fantastic, and many prefer taking food to go to enjoy in the park. Overall, it is a great option for fresh, healthy food.
