Our Top Pick
Pura Vida Miami
Miami's original wellness café chain built on pasture-raised ingredients, superfood bowls, and a Costa Rican stress-free philosophy.
Notable Picks

Israeli-born Omer Horev opened the first Pura Vida in South Beach in 2012 after finding Miami's healthy dining scene sorely lacking, and this Brickell location embodies the wellness philosophy he built with wife Jennifer: pasture-raised ingredients, superfood bowls, and a Costa Rican 'pure life' ethos that somehow doesn't feel performative. The avocado toast and smoked salmon toast are reliable staples, and the açaí bowls satisfy without the sugar bomb common at competitors. The Tulum-inspired décor and pet-friendly patio create a relaxed atmosphere that feels more Miami than corporate wellness. Service is friendly if occasionally slow during rushes. Forty-plus locations later, they've kept the formula tight.
Must-Try Dishes:
Avocado Toast, Smoked Salmon Toast, Spicy Tuna Bowl
What Makes it Special: Miami's original wellness café chain built on pasture-raised ingredients, superfood bowls, and a Costa Rican stress-free philosophy.

The Millecento outpost offers extended evening hours until 10pm on weekdays, making it one of the few Pura Vida locations where you can grab a vegan lentil bowl for a late dinner. The wellness-focused menu mirrors the 701 location—green goddess salad, açaí bowls, smoked salmon toast—with the same commitment to pasture-raised ingredients and dietary flexibility. Reviews trend slightly less enthusiastic than other locations, possibly due to newer staffing or the somewhat smaller footprint. Still a solid option for clean eating in Brickell without the markup of trendier spots. The gluten-free bun for sandwiches gets specific callouts as legitimately good.
Must-Try Dishes:
Avocado Toast, Green Goddess Salad, Vegan Lentil Bowl
What Makes it Special: The Millecento outpost offers extended evening hours and the same wellness-focused menu that made Pura Vida a Miami staple.
Born as a 2016 pop-up and now a Brickell neighborhood fixture, this Cali-Mex joint has built a reputation on its Gardener's Margarita—a multiple-time winner of Miami's best margarita—and $3 happy hour street tacos. The Long Beach and Anaheim tacos satisfy without pretense, and the staff cultivates a genuinely welcoming regulars bar vibe that's rare in the neighborhood's glossier establishments. Dog-friendly weekend brunch with free pup ice cream seals the deal for the pet crowd. The food won't redefine tacos, and salsa options are pedestrian, but the value proposition and laid-back energy make it a reliable neighborhood hang when you want drinks that outshine the food.
Must-Try Dishes:
Long Beach Tacos, Anaheim Tacos, Cali Style Tacos
What Makes it Special: Award-winning Cali-Mex street tacos with original craft cocktails including Miami's best margarita, all in a laid-back neighborhood vibe.

A Thai-owned Brickell staple since 2012 that leans into home-style curries and shareable plates—the red curry in coconut milk and the gyoza are the reliable anchors, with the crispy duck salad pulling repeat visitors on its own. The lunch specials and happy hour deals make it an unusually strong value play for the neighborhood, and the compact, cozy room with outdoor seating works better for weeknight dates and casual group dinners than it does for a full-production evening out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Gyoza, Red Curry, Pad See Ew
What Makes it Special: Thai-owned since 2012 with Thai chefs cooking authentic home-style Thai and a cult-favorite housemade passionfruit sake, tucked steps from Brickell City Centre.
