What is Pura Vida? Simply translated, it means “simple life” or “pure life”, but it is more than just a saying—it is a way of life. Pura Vida Açai Café brings that way of life to the Midwest with our Costa Rica inspired açaí bowls; pure açaí berry sorbet, never blended, never watered down, topped with a variety of all natural ingredients. Also serving Costa Rican coffee harvested from small farms in Terrazú and roasted fresh in Kansas City.
