Pure Food

Devastated to see this place CLOSED. It was the best for a healthy breakfast and lunch. Awesome raw selections to make your own salads, great juices and smoothies and delicious vegan soups. I would always eat here when on a cleanse because it made everything easy for me. Always left satiated and happy. It looks as if the US Marshal seized the property — perhaps the owner wasn’t paying his bills. Semi-​glad to see that sign instead of a notice from the Health Department!

This little place was perfect for a quick lunch alone before a doctors appointment. The food was super fresh, the people working there were super friendly, and it was decently priced!
I got the veggie burger steam salad by the pound and spent about $ 5 bucks for a nice sized lunch.
Too bad they don’t have one of these closer to me or my job but I totally recommend this little spot.

Filling food, generous service. I was there on a weekday afternoon. I had the veggie burger wrap that another Unilocaler recommended. It was great and filling. The hummus sauce was nice. They also have a special spicy almond carrot sauce. One of the staff actually brought me a free sample to try. I had not even asked about it, they just offered it up! I opted to have a smoothie too and chose 4 ingredients and enjoyed the magic. Again they were generous, the smoothie amount ended up being more like 1.5 glasses, and they gave me all of it so I got bonus smoothie! Several families did ‘grab and go’ I’m assuming for an after school snack. They have lots of gluten free options. I wished more ingredients were organic, it was not written that way so I am not assuming one way or another. The food was pure. It was a good experience.

Came here at 7 for a sandwich or wrap, but was told that they don’t serve that after 7PM :(. So, I settled for a salad sold by the pound (which had some very good quinoa and fresh and steamed veggies). Seems like a reasonable option for vege/​vegans.

This has been my go to place every since I started taking classes at Mount Sinai. I came across this establishment bc I wanted a place where I can get great food for a decent price and stay healthy. This place accomplished all these desires.
The juices/​smoothies are $ 7.95 +tax. I’ve tried all of them in the list and they are all good. I love juices though, so I may be a bit bias right now. Recently, I tried their lentil soup, for $ 5.95 (I believe) and the portion is huge! There is only one size cup, but it is a decent portion for anyone.
I’d say if you want to eat healthy then this is the place to go. You will end paying about $ 10 for a meal elsewhere and it will be greasy and too heavy for your stomach. Once a week I like to stop by here and try something new. They have plenty of options! Not a range of seating space. But most people take the food to go anyway.

I am absolutely obsessed with pure food.
I can’t believe it took me two years working at mt Sinai to find it. I thought I would make the disclaimer that I am not a vegan and I don’t even eat healthy that often, but I LOVE this place. I recommend the kale shake, for you juice, and spinach pie, but everything I’ve had there is pretty good. I also like that if you go there once and show your mt Sinai ID they will usually remember for all subsequent times you go.

Green Monster if you’re into the green juice thing — do it.

You must get the spicy hummus here! Everything is fresh, my go to vegan spot. The grape leaves are pretty good too along with the big beans.

Recommended by a few co-​workers to give the smoothies a try. Definitely recommend the kale shake! Portions are large but its appx $ 8 for a smoothie, and $ 8 for a salad. The smoothie will leave you feeling full of organic, healthy goodness, ready to conquer whatever else the day has in store for you. There are a few tables inside if you wanted to dine-​in. 10% discount for Mt. Sinai Employees.

I really enjoy the food here. But for some reason they stopped delivering to Mount Sinai hospital and it makes absolutely no sense since it’s not far from it. Really disappointed by this decision on the owners behalf. Seems like I wont be ordering from here again :(

Healthy options. V good veggie burger. Staff is cordial. I wish hours were a lil more flexible. Would def grab dinner more often. Light and delicious. Generous portions.

Beware of the prices! Today for $ 8, I treated myself to an almond latte smoothie. The smoothie was just what I wanted, a filling beverage.

Stopped by for some goodies to take to Central Park. They have a large variety of healthy, veggie-​packed items that are great for picnics. They also have a seating area if you are staying in. I tried a veggie burger wrap? It was like a quinoa patty in a wrap, with vegan cheese. It was great! I’m actually not vegan or vegetarian, I just like to make a habit of eating a plant-​based diet, and most of the things on the menu sounded really appealing. This place hit the mark for me.

My girlfriend just moved down the block from this gem.
Is the food expensive? YES. It is. But ya know… its organic, healthy, and it’s NYC so I am not shocked.
I had the Almond Latte — DELICOUS
I had the cauliflower soup — It was pretty good, but got kinda boring after a few bites. I feel like they should have sprinkled something on top to give it an extra crunch. It was basically pureed cauliflower with sea salt.
VEGGIE BURGER WRAP — REALLY GOOD. When I come back that is what I am ordering again.

Great food, recommended for vegans and anyone who likes healthy food.
I had the veggie burger in a warp form and it was excellent.

Ordered the Almond Hummus wrap for $ 7.95 to go for lunch. A bit pricey but the wrap was stuffed with a lot of mixed greens, sprouts and a whole wheat wrap (but very little almond humus). It was also messy and watery. They offer a variety of juices, smoothies, salads, soups and a juice cleanse program.

I really enjoyed the food I got here! Absolutely delicious salads and raw desserts.

I tend to go back to my healthy roots from time to time. My go to meal here is the sun dried tomato sandwich. It is pretty damn delicious. I also usually end up getting one of the blended shakes. Today i went with the Green Monster and it was definitely what i needed. I was tired at work and BOOM drinking some good ol green grass gets me amped up! I did feel 100% more energized after eating a bit healthier for once this week.
I recommend this place!
Positives:
Employee Discount
Great tasting meals
Negatives:
Small sitting area
healthy food is pricey

Everything is super fresh looking and tasting. There is a wide variety of raw, steamed, or cooked veggie and vegan dishes. I also go for the salad bar because there are so many things I want to eat or try. I sort of wish I could scoop my own portions into the plate, but at the same time its a lot more hygienic to have everything protected behind glass and served by staff.
Whenever I’m there, someone is always ordering one of the speciality sandwiches. Everything is made to order: sandwiches, juices, and speciality salads, so it takes a little while. That’s another reason I go for the salad bar selections.
The staff is really patient and nice. I always ask a lot of questions about what things are made with because I’m pretty particular when it comes to spices/​sauces.

Vegan? Me? No way.
But since I got a taste of their almond latte, I’m hooked.
I like that the salad bar has a glass barrier; a real one, not those half ones where people can still leave their arm hair or sneeze all over. I like that they have kale everything. I like that they make their juices fresh in front of you, and I like that I feel better about myself after eating here.
Their juices/​smoothies are 8 dollars, so I can’t make this a habit.
