Pura Vida - Brickell Millecento

A Pura Vida café in the Millecento building on South Miami Avenue, serving bowls, avocado toast, matcha and cold-pressed juice all day.

Checked October 2026

Good for a Brickell breakfast, a desk-lunch bowl or a matcha on the way to work. The room is small and tables are first come, first served, so weekend brunch can mean hovering or ordering ahead.

What to order

The Tuna Bowl and the Salmon Bowl are the repeat orders here, according to the café's own notes, along with the avocado toast. Breakfast runs all day, and the kitchen cooks without seed oils, which is the brand's whole pitch. Lunch leans on salads, wraps and sandwiches like Jen's Herb Salad and the Toasted Chicken Wrap. Add a ceremonial grade matcha or a cold-pressed juice. Vegan picks are flagged: the Avocado Smash, acai bowls, overnight oats and the Falafel Crunch. Prices sit at $$, which is fair for Brickell. It holds 4.6 from about 1,300 Google reviews.

Getting a table

The footprint is small. There's indoor counter and table seating plus a short row of outdoor tables along the Millecento sidewalk, and those go first on cooler mornings and during weekend brunch. Reservations aren't taken, so it's whoever gets there. The smart move on a busy Saturday is to order in the app, pick up, then grab whatever seat opens. Just get the order right the first time: once it's placed in the app or online, it can't be canceled. Weekday mornings move faster, since the line is mostly residents and office people grabbing coffee to go.

Early start, late close

Doors open at 7 am every day, and it stays open until 10 pm Monday through Saturday, 8 pm on Sunday. That late close is unusual for a café, so it works for a light dinner bowl when you don't want a full restaurant. It sits steps from Mary Brickell Village, handy before or after errands there. Families show up on weekends: there's a kids menu with pancakes and smoothies. Catering is available for offices and events in the area, with platters, bowls and juice packages for pickup or delivery.

Reservations

No reservations; on weekend mornings, order in the app and grab a seat after pickup.

Good to know

App and online orders can't be canceled once placed, so double-check before you hit submit.
