Review: The lasagna and simple salad are the only thing I need for the rest of my life - over the top delicious! Today I tried the Mexican Buddha Bowl and treated myself to the Chocolate Ganache with Raspberry sauce - gorgeous and delicious, too. You cannot go wrong with anything on this menu. I especially love that I do not have to ask about the ingredients to fit my GF, EF, DF needs! PS: Meagan is the most delightful person here and makes my day every time I visit - so sweet and a great representative of what makes this place so cool!

Review: 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.

Review: My husband was diagnosed with alpha gal allergy. Pure foods is the only place he can eat without having a reaction. Not only is it safe, the food is absolutely incredible. The vegan queso is better than actual queso. The enchiladas are my favorite! The drinks are even incredible!

Review: I was specifically searching for vegetarian restaurants and found this gem. Ordered their Jalapeno Mushroom Burger (suggested by the server girl) and the Cup of Joe smoothie. Both were delicious. Much better than most non-veg burgers out there. Their salad seems to be mixed with guacamole and some condiments, thus making it different & tasty.
