The space itself is small, with limited indoor seating, though there are a few tables available outside. Staff are friendly and efficient, and they're happy to customize bowls to your preference. We tried the Nutella Acai Bowl and a Mango Bowl. The acai held up well without melting too quickly, and paired nicely with the bananas and other toppings on the Nutella bowl. The granola was fresh and added a satisfying crunch. Overall, the bowls were flavorful, refreshing, and a great option for a quick healthy bite.

There is outside and inside eating with plenty of parking. I was very close to giving it a 5. Cons: Sometimes the food takes longer than estimated though so keep that in mind if you are trying a quick pickup. The staff will bring it out as soon as ready though. I will say Nicole's review "half-dressed...girl..very uncomfortable" is true though. There were multiple men in line trying to look anywhere else, but directly at the girl half-dressed. Not sure if she still works there though. Most I staff is super friendly and attentive, but yeah there are a couple odd balls.

Sandro and his wife Vivien are extremely accommodating, friendly, and work well together, bending over backwards to make sure my daughter and I were pleased. The food is amazing! Vivien, the chef, makes everything! I got the most delectable crêpes, which were huge and delicious. The chicken with cilantro and turkey crêpes were so flavorful, and the crepes themselves were delicate and tender. And the Nutella crêpe with strawberries? They sent me to the moon! My daughter felt the same way. If I could, I would return every week and try the Açài bowls as well! Pura Vida is not to be missed! Five stars!

This time, I got a passion fruit refresher and the salmon salad. The refresher was good not my favorite aftertaste, but that could just be me. I asked for the avocado dressing on the salad, but when they brought it out, they told me they were out so I ended up with ranch. Luckily, the salad itself was really good and super filling. The staff has been friendly and attentive both times I've gone. Also, the setup inside is really cute as there's a nice chair arrangement and even a swing for photo ops. It wasn't too busy, so we didn't wait long at all. Overall, good vibes and good food. I'll definitely be back.

Very friendly and attentive service. Very clean! We didn't know what we wanted when we came in,…read morewanted something like a smoothie. We got a breakdown of the menu - enough that we felt comfortable with what we ordered. Both of us enjoyed our orders at first. Both of us couldn't wait to leave at the end. As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, this shop is somehow affiliated with Herbalife. There are stickers on the menu. Before coming in, I had no idea what that meant. By the end, we concluded that both of our drinks had the same "base(?)". Hard to describe: perhaps sweet, Splenda-filled mocha-ish chalk that gets left on your palate. We wanted to be polite, because they were very nice, but in the end we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Started strong, and maybe we both happened to order something we didn't like, but because they both tasted the same, I can't imagine I'm up for a second try, even out of curiosity. Best recollection: This is like when you are trying to be polite at a friends house who is serving sugar-free cookies, and you are looking for the saltiest chips to wash the taste out of your mouth.

The Vibe is a nutrition oriented tea and shake bar located at Nottingham Square in Hudson, the…read moreformer Sweet Kiwi space. Similar to other healthy nutritious drink bars, they serve up an interesting good variety of protein shakes and energizing, boosted mega teas. Combo pricing for both tea and smoothie is $10-$14. This place is very similar to Integrity Nutrition in Concord, 207 Nutrition in Maine, and Unbelievable Nutrition, Unbreakable Nutrition, Unmatched Nutrition, Unstoppable Nutrition, and Untouchable Nutrition in the Albany NY area. The atmosphere is inviting and spacious with very limited seating due to the pandemic, which has a few tables and chairs and soft chairs to enjoy your crafted beverage(s). On my recent first time visit, I decided to combo up to save $2. I ordered a Basic Tea and Shake Combo ($10.90 with tax) on a Relaxation Ice Tea (caffeine free) and a Churro Dessert Shake. The relaxation tea was cool and refreshing with a good vibe with each sip, not too sweet. The Churro Shake was very good, which had the flavors of a cold dulce de leche dessert with sweet cinnamon and topped with pieces of cinnamon toast crunch cereal. which had amazing flavors, yet refreshing and filling. I enjoyed my cold drinks outside on a hot and very sunny day.  The pleasant staff was very busy making drinks and could tell I was a first timer to this store. Like I mentioned, it operates in similar fashion to other nutrition oriented tea and shake bars, but with different drink offerings there. I also registered to be on their email list for news and offers. I can't wait to stop in again to enjoy their other creative drinks.
