What People Are Saying
from Google"I went to Pura Vida Açaí Cafe with my daughter, and we both absolutely loved our açaí bowls. They were incredibly delicious and fresh—hands down the best bowls I’ve ever had. I got the Tico bowl and my daughter got the volcano bowl. My daughter couldn’t stop saying she wished she had gotten a bigger one! For those concerned about the price: you truly get what you pay for. Every bite was worth it, and you can taste the quality and freshness in every ingredient. We’ll definitely be going back. If you want the best, go to Pura Vida Açaí Cafe—you won’t be disappointed!"
"I come to get an açai bowl a couple times a week and even him a part of the rewards. The male owner is amazing he is always very nice and happy to service. However, today I walked in with my sister and the Lady owner walked up to the counter already posturing herself to have an attitude didn’t greet us until she said with an attitude “what do you need?” After a very short interaction full of attitude she finally had our order, I mentioned I had rewards, She rolled her eyes aggressively, grabbed the store phone, scanned my code, and when the price went down because I had a reward available, she slammed the phone onto the counter and said a very aggressively “well I guess I’m not making rent today am I” then walked in back and made our bowls. when they were finished she aggressively slid them across the counter at us and said “your bowls are done” when we asked her to go lids, She rolled her eyes and scoffed gave them to us and did not even tell us to have a good day. Very disappointed in this interaction as I have been coming very often for months"
"Have loved Pura Vida since my second pregnancy when I followed the truck around KC 😆 The açaí speaks for itself while Ethan and his staff are easy to order from and talk to. There are a few different kinds of acai around KC, this is the best hands down!"
"I came here on a Sunday to get an acai bowl with my cousin and I have never had any complaints because the owners are always so nice but as soon as we walked through the door the worker was at a table talking with what I assume are her friends and when we came in she made a face and complained through her actions. We were deciding what we wanted on the menu and when she came back behind the counter she was making faces at her friends. We finally decided what we wanted and she was very dry and had a rude attitude. I am never one to leave reviews because I give people the benefit of the doubt but that was horrible. Very unfortunate."
"The cold brew here was delicious! I see they serve fresh hot coffee as well. Definitely give it a try. The staff was also very nice. I work close by, and I don't know why it's taken me so long to try it out! Nice to have a new cafe nearby 👍"
