The 3,400-square-foot cafe marks the 57th shop for the South Florida wellness chain.<\/p>\n<p>Hours run Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Customers can order for delivery or pickup.<\/p>\n<p>Omer Horev founded the fast-casual chain, which serves a seed-oil-free menu with items like avocado toast, salads, eggs, protein plates, smoothies, a\u00e7a\u00ed, coffee, and matcha. Wild seafood, grass-fed steak, sandwiches, wraps, pressed juices, and a kids menu round out what&#8217;s offered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For us, growth has always been about finding the right communities where Pura Vida can genuinely become part of people&#8217;s everyday lives,&#8221; said Horev in a statement, per <a href=\"https:\/\/thatssotampa.com\/pura-vida-miami-water-street-tampa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">That&#8217;s So Tampa<\/a>. &#8220;Tampa has been one of those markets for us for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Water Street shop features the fall menu additions, including Steak &amp; Eggs, the Breakfast Burrito, Scallion &amp; Feta Omelette, Fennel Pistachio salad, Miami Vice Smoothie, and seasonal Pumpkin Spice Cloud.<\/p>\n<p>Horev started the business in 2012 as a small neighborhood cafe. A husband and wife duo ran it then. The company opened its 50th shop this spring in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s an incredible energy here and a strong sense of community that we believe in,&#8221; said Horev. &#8220;We see the opportunity to build something lasting in Tampa Bay, and this opening is only the beginning of what we hope to establish here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new spot occupies where Dwell &amp; Company used to be. Indoor and outdoor seating fill the space, which incorporates natural materials, warm finishes, custom millwork, and greenery.<\/p>\n<p>Another shop is planned for Midtown Tampa. The expansion represents the chain&#8217;s entry into the Tampa Bay market after building a presence throughout South Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pura Vida Miami opens its first Tampa Bay spot today at 1038 Water St. in the Water Street&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":397046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[687,135,137,136,27416],"class_list":["post-397045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-restaurants","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news","tag-water-street"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
