"I visit once a year during Christmas and finally there is an eatery that is v & gf forward. A small well curated space and welcoming ambiance. We ordered the enchiladas, omelette and taco soup, which was all delicious. The omelette came with mushrooms even though it didn’t state it on the menu which is unideal for someone who doesn’t party that way but even after picking out the mushrooms, the omelette was delish. The preprepared smoothies are so good, enjoyed the birthday cake and it was more banana than birthday since I’m usually not a fan of that flavor profile…glad I took a chance on it. Great eatery and experience and will be coming back to support🤘🏼"

"When I went in, it was not welcoming and I waited 5 minutes while the cashier was right next to me in the phone until I said something. I ordered the RAW vegan nachos, they gave me the regular with beyond meat which contains soy and it’s cooked. The sauce was cooked as well. I went back in to verify he said it was sun dried tomatoes, which was not as in the photo. It tastes good but I don’t like wasting 18 dollars on nachos that was not made right."

"Unbelievably great food. I had the Watermelon Gazpacho - to die for! Cool and full of flavor- Watermelon, tomato, lime juice, cilantro and a little heat of jalapeno. Really well crafted!! I also had the Thai Buddha Bowl rec’d by another customer. More than I could eat. I bought two fresh pressed juices to take home. I would have had dessert but it was too pricey for me! Give this place a try -you won’t be disappointed!!"

"We really enjoyed lunch here! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The cashew cheese sauce is amazing. We are not vegan but have tried to start incorporating some healthy meals into our diets in the new year. This place did not disappoint, we will return for sure. Our waitress was upbeat and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made our experience fun and enjoyable!"

"Our preconceived notions shape our perceptions, which in turn shape our realities. Sometimes, these realities can limit personal growth. However, personal growth can help broaden our preconceived notions, bringing us full circle to concepts like "vegan" food. Chef Cynthia Beavers, a dedicated chef who has helped bring vegan cuisine to Tulsa, not to push "ethical" or "environmental" ideas but to provide excellent, healthy food to Tulsa with care and love. With an open mind and an insatiable appetite, I walked into Pure Food + Juice to broaden my preconceived notions. Let's eat. Pure Food + Juice (PFJ) has a welcoming, modern feel, with high ceilings and a predominantly white-toned interior. The service is excellent and was provided by a lovely young man, Jake, and Chef Beavers! Both exude enthusiasm for their craft and guests, creating a welcoming atmosphere. PFJ features an assortment of cold-pressed juices and smoothies. For our drinks, we enjoyed the Cherry Limeade, The Bull, and Green Buddha. Each juice is impressive, with complex flavors where each fruit or vegetable shines through. The diversity and flavor profiles of each juice combination are impressive and masterfully crafted. We also tried the Birthday Cake smoothie, which was decadent and delightful. For the first course, we had Layered Nachos with tortilla chips, black beans, queso, guacamole, pico de gallo, and avocado. The "queso" made from red peppers and cashew butter, has a beautiful nutty flavor. The nachos are excellent, with flavors including black bean, nutty queso, and avocado. The salsa adds a vibrant, refreshing taste of tomato and onion. Next, the "Taco Soup" features veggie taco meat, black and pinto beans, poblano, cilantro, and Mexican spices. This soup is hearty and rich, with a silky smooth texture and a spicy, smoky flavor from cumin and beans. The third course is the Watermelon Gazpacho with tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime, and jalapeno. This soup is a revelation, akin to some soups at Michelin-quality restaurants. Its vibrant notes of watermelon, tomato, onion, lime, and cilantro work in harmony, making it a pièce de résistance. The final appetizer is the "Lotus Spring Roll" with avocado, spinach, red pepper, carrot, zucchini, and crunchy cashews. This dish is light and refreshing, with crisp textures and flavors. Each vegetable had a moment to shine, complemented by nutty almond butter. For entrees, we had the Mediterranean Buddha Bowl, featuring salad, jasmine rice, garbanzo beans, hummus, quinoa tabouli, babaganoush, and a creamy herb dressing. This bowl is packed with vibrant, refreshing flavors. We also tried the "Enchiladas with Queso," with black beans in corn tortillas topped with queso, pico, and guacamole. This is a beautiful take on the classic Mexican dish. The final entree, "Pasta! Pasta! Pasta!" features zucchini noodles with alfredo, marinara, and pesto sauces, each with distinct and rich flavor profiles. We sampled three desserts: Coconut Dream, Key Lime Pie, and Chocolate Dream, each with a coconut or avocado base. One critique is the slightly grainy texture of the Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Dream, but this adds a raw quality. Walking into Pure Food + Juice, I was influenced by preconceived notions. However, my perspective transformed from the first sip to the last bite. Each dish ranged from very good to excellent, with the watermelon gazpacho reaching pièce de résistance territory. Each bite shifted my perceptions of vegan food to something broader and bolder. Allowing myself to be guided by Chef Beavers led me on a culinary journey. Vegan food is good food, crafted by those who respect ingredients, cook with passion, and share love with others. I encourage you to give Pure Food + Juice a try and allow Chef Beavers to welcome you into a world where healthy food transcends stereotypes."
