Liked the spot. I perhaps didnt order right. I got the power bowl, which honestly I dont know what to make of it - it was like a savory acai bowl. Weird texture. The guy on the next table ordered tacos which looked incredible, i'll be back someday for that. read more

people will argue about the significance of the "Dimes Square" hub or buzz in NYC--dependent on what side of the coin you're on. what can't be argued is that Dimes was/is what anchored the micro-neighborhood by serving up a healthy-ish variety of dishes in a chill cafe ambiance. West Coast-ish undertone in design and menu without being blatant...laidback and clean-looking but not sloppy... like your favorite pair of well-worn denim that works seamlessly in any mood or environment. the soft-touch lighting, modern-ish retro interior provides an intimate dining drinking + small bar area experience without feeling like your packed like sardines in a can. that said, if it's a full house, Dimes can be a bit loud. acoustics, ya know. while the menu is as much a draw as the digs with familiar diner-like offerings with unfamiliar influences...i find the coffee here to be consistently good if you keep things simple like an Americano when you want coffee as you make the rounds downtown with friends in tow or solo-dolo. most recently, used Dimes as a waypoint to grab coffee a few times recently as i made my way through things to do in the Chinatown, LES, & Two Bridges areas. Dimes has a nice flexibility for its food, drinks, and "vibes." definitely would recommend for a drive-by coffee or choose a light meal with friends and such if you have plans in the area. read more

Really nice experience, the staff was super attentive and friendly, we had a stroller & they made us space for it. The best thing that was delicious was the tahini toast with raspberry and honey. I enjoyed the matcha ginger too and the salads were fresh! It's a small restaurant but really cute with the fun table colors, overall will be back! read more

Walked in for a Saturday brunch & got a seat immediately outside. These breakfast tacos were wonderful! Only complainant would be the need for a bigger tortilla because it was packed to the brim with toppings! LOL not a bad issue at all, there was so much flavor in the mango salsa + dimes hot sauce, the eggs were perfectly cooked & the bacon was PERFECTLY crispy! Exactly how I want my bacon. The only reason for 4 stars is because our food took quite a bit of time to come to the table after ordering. Vibes were great outside on probably the last warm NYC fall Saturday this year! read more

Dimes, located at 49 Canal Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, stands as a culinary and cultural institution that has significantly influenced the neighborhood now colloquially known as "Dimes Square." Founded in 2013 by Alissa Wagner and Sabrina De Sousa, Dimes began as a modest 20-seat café on Division Street. Its unique blend of health-conscious, California-inspired cuisine and minimalist design quickly garnered attention, leading to its relocation to a larger space on Canal Street in 2015 . The restaurant's menu reflects its commitment to fresh, innovative dishes. During a recent visit, I sampled the corn croquettes and thick-cut potato wedges, both of which were delightful. The corn croquettes offered a crispy exterior with a creamy, flavorful center, while the potato wedges were perfectly seasoned and accompanied by a tangy green goddess aioli. The veggie burger, however, leaned heavily on seaweed flavors, which, while appreciated by some, may not suit everyone's palate. Beyond its culinary offerings, Dimes has cultivated an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. The crowd is notably LGBT friendly, exuding a genuine and low-key vibe that feels both authentic and unpretentious. This ambiance aligns with the founders' vision of creating a community-centric space that resonates with a diverse clientele . Dimes' influence extends beyond its walls. The establishment played a pivotal role in the emergence of "Dimes Square," a micro-neighborhood characterized by its blend of art, fashion, and culinary scenes . This area has become a hub for creatives and trendsetters, further cementing Dimes' status as a cornerstone of cultural evolution in the Lower East Side. Almost everything in the menu is healthy and tasty and the vibe feels like family and home. Go Check it out! read more

The John Kouka team loves the Neptune burger. We also love the Collard Greens. Last time we tried two desserts (one was on the house because they wanted us to try it.) The Caesar salad is great- but is a sharable. What can we say?? Unpretentious LES chill ambiance amazing vegetarian options. In fact, it is the favorite restaurant of one of the team members. RELAX dudes, don't be in rush, get a nice juice or cocktail and wait for your delicious food while they play some Moby just kidding MAssive Attack. read more

it's a small little place but a great vibe inside and casual atmosphere with nice servers. The dos tacos had scrambled eggs perfectly ripe and delicious avocado (which is really important to me) nice corn tortillas MANGO SALSA add bacon... it was so so so good. i don't like mayonnaise, but my foodie companions LOVED the BLT. And the other is obsessed with the potato wedges (for some reason lol i thought they were mid) i think because it has a tiny kick of spice on seasoning, read more

In the neighborhood and looking for a great little brunch spot you found it! Nestled on Canal my friend and I came for a Sunday brunch. The place is small and very cozy. It wasn't super busy when we first got there but it definitely got really busy! And it was not loud at all. We were seated promptly. My friend had coffee and I had a latte which came out with a heart shaped design. For brunch my friend had the breakfast sandwich and I had the bergamot pancakes. LET ME TELL YOU! I'm not a big pancake eater but these pancakes were light, fluffy, oh so full of flavor. The blueberries on top were just perfect! I didn't even need the syrup on the side. Lots of items on the brunch menu. I can't wait to come back to try the dinner menu! And the prices are good too. read more

I happened on Dimes last evening on my way to Chinatown, and decided, "Why not?" I chose the only vegan entrée--the Neptune burger, made with seaweed--and was totally unsurprised at how delicious it was. I'm sorry there weren't more vegan options on the menu, but everything I had was amazing. This tiny--I counted 30 seats, plus bar--restaurant is cozy and comfortable; I didn't ask their hours, but I'm sure they're on a par with the area restaurants. I'll have to check out the other location soon! read more

Dinner was a cute spot for dinner. Nice location, ambiance and helpful staff. Dinner was a tad underwhelming, but it seems dimes is more well known for brunch/breakfast. My steak was great, albeit a small portion. The broccoli rabe was bitter... but I'm convinced it's just a bad season for broccoli rabe as I've been disappointed all summer at multiple spots whenever I choose to Eat it. Next time I'll come back to dimes for lunch hours, and stick to my favorite Kiki's around the corner for dinner. read more

One of the most hipster restaurants i have been to. Very cute interior. Loved the vibe. Servers were very friendly. We came on a Saturday and there was no wait although almost all tables were taken. They have really nice outdoor seating with shade as well if you prefer that. The menu has breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We went more of the brunch route and everything was delicious. I really liked the mango salsa on the tacos. The eggs were cooked really well. Overall fun spot. read more

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Dimes when I walked in, and I'm not sure I know what to expect after I've eaten there, either. There were lots of "trendy" people there when we went on a Sunday morning. The menu was full of interesting Brazilian inspired brunch items, but the decor and atmosphere felt more like a toned down Urban Outfitters, and it felt disconnected. The coffee was great but the portions of the food items were smaller than I expected for what we paid. read more

BEAUTIFUL, TASTY, WHAT WE NEED! Welcome to the future you want to be part of!!! I love this place, in the hart of the Lower East Side. This is a very small bit high in quality and rightness restaurant. The space has been a reference in design for almost a decade now. The furniture is both functional, greatly dimensioned as non-monumental, and cute. The menu is so clever, informed, contemporary, tasty, cosmopolitan and, yes, healthy. This is just what we need now. Always a bit acid, to respond to the tastefulness. Always something cooked, with something raw. Eating here expands your culinary spectrum. Service could not be nicer. If you come here, you'll become better and more satisfied! read more

Not as it was in division.....(3 stars cause I am in good mood....:) Place very unfriendly , as were the staff. Not even one smile . One . Food is fair , salmon was overcooked and The sauces around hide it. Love toast (pretentious name...) dry and tiny! Small glass of very expensive fresh (at least that) juice. Maybe it's good for the people who live around that hood . Definitely NOT a destination. read more

Enjoyed Dimes on Canal Street and the mushroom vegan Earth Tacos. They had a delicious coleslaw and grilled sweet potatoes. The perfect size for a nice lunch without feeling too full. I also had the ACV green drink which was refreshing. My friend had the egg tacos and the lemonade which was great (I had a taste). You had to eat outside due to covid but they have ample seating and it was a beautiful day. read more

Once again I'm walking in the wrong direction and notice this place. Have to turn around so I decided to stop in for a drink when I corrected my course. Sat at the bar. Had a couple of cocktails. We chatted it up with the bartender- she was lovely and so sweet. Another employee ate at the bar while we were there and he was sweet too. Next time I'll have to try their food. Cute little space with some out door seating available. read more

This is the prettiest presentation of any food delivery I've ever seen in my life. I'm shocked that they have 3 stars on here? I ordered from them on DoorDash bc they have like 4.8 stars there. I went in person once and got some kind of brunch tacos and side of potatoes. I love their potatoes. They also have a nice assortment of beverages for those of us who don't drink coffee. Lovely unique spot, very popular despite the nitpicking reviews on here read more

Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere. Great wine selection. Excellent service. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Fun spot to grab brunch with friends. We came on a Monday morning and it was pretty quiet, which meant lots of 1-on-1 time with our lovely waitress Breckyn. The menu is full of unique offerings - my fav was the MATCHA PANCAKES. The breakfast sandwich was simple yet tasty, but made even better by adding bacon. You can get a huge side of bacon for only $2.50! Score! Back to the matcha pancakes... bright green, topped with blueberries, blue cornflowers and crushed nuts. The stack was not strongly matcha flavored, and quite large, but somehow I managed to eat every last bite. My boyfriend got his usual espresso and I ordered a large cup of rose peppercorn lemonade. (All proceeds of the rose lemonade go to Syrian refugees - YAY!) Service was quick but we didn't feel rushed. The decorations are bright and fun, and remind me of a coastal cafe in Southern California. Great break from the hustle and bustle of surrounding Chinatown. Be sure to take a pit stop in the bathroom (tiny but super colorful). If I'm ever in the area again, I'll certainly be back for another delicious and nutritious meal. Great value for the price, friendly service and worth your time! One of our favorite meals during our trip to NYC! read more

I never leave reviews but the entree salmon portion was so ridiculously small that it wouldn't even be suitable on a kids menu. It was a joke. I should have snapped a pic. When we asked the waiter if it was usually that tiny he just shrugged and said yes. Other than that cuisine was fair at best. read more

It was alright! Got the oyster mushroom toast because I'm an idiot and expected there to be oysters and mushrooms but it was just oyster mushrooms. Wasn't super flavorful but was a pleasant bite, the bread was hard to break off. My friend's pulled pork was great with a hefty portion, and the potato wedges were average. I ordered the ph tonic which just tasted healthy (to be expected) and my friends got a mezcal drink and a margarita, which I think they enjoyed. read more

Four of us was at Dimes for brunch. The place looks quite small (and it probably is) but has more seating than it looks. The place has not overcrowded but has a nice amount of customers to make it lively. I'd come back for another brunch with friends. I had Dos Tacos and the juice of the day - juice was a nice blend of 4-5 kinds of fruits, but it's only a small amount so the price of $6 is a bit too much. Tacos were great, which included fluffy eggs, mild salsa with mango and zucchini pieces that made the dish more interesting and palatable. read more

As other Yelpers mentioned, this is one for the hipsters. Food here is average and portions are small for the price you are paying. I ordered the BLT and it came out on one of the smallest plates possible. The bread was also pretty burnt on the edges. As I tried to bite into the sandwich and eat the market greens that accompanied it, everything just fell on the table Not only are the plates and portions small, the water pitcher and cups are even smaller. I wouldn't have a problem with this if the waiters were actually attentive and refilled the water. Definitely not somewhere I would visit again. + Breakfast menu is served into the afternoon read more

I've eaten lunch at Dimes twice. There's something slightly odd about the restaurant's atmosphere but it's hard to put my finger on what it is. Dimes is quite small, so prepare to be close to your neighbors. The vibe is neither relaxed coffee-shop nor is it upbeat. It falls flat somewhere in the middle, making me feel slightly awkward every time I'm there. It's saving grace is it's fresh, delicious menu. I've had the spring salad and the Cesar salad and added pickled salmon to both. I loved the salmon although it worked better with the lighter, cleaner spring salad. Since the Cesar had anchovies, it felt salty already and probably would have been better without the fish. Prices are also quite high and if you want protein on your salad, lunch will end up being about $18 before tax and tip! read more

Great food, cool vibe. I had been meaning to try this place for a while but what got me through the door is that they have a salad with jicama...oh jicama, my delicious and nutritious friend. (Seriously, if you've never had jicama, google some recipes, then go get you some!) My salad and lemongrass tea was not only very good but also left me feeling full and nourished afterwards...on a gray Friday afternoon, that's winning. Notes: -It was a little expensive, but not outrageous by any means, especially when you consider the area. -While I waited for my order, they were playing a trance song about brown rice...my kinda place. read more

I've been here twice now and I really like their colorful vibe. Fun place to come for a date or to catch up with a friend. First time I went we split the salmon salad toast and the encino man. I thought the encino man was all right. I was really into the salmon salad toast; the combination of flavors worked really well. Had to order it again the second time I came, as well as one of the acai bowls that I've heard a lot about. We got the berry acai and it was a refreshing complement to the toast. Out of curiosity, we tried two of their chilled beverages, the pH tonic and the umeboshi shiso seltzer. They were interesting, but not for me, so I probably won't do that again. I'll stick to the earl grey I ordered the first time around; I asked for milk and honey along with it and it came in a cute setup. We also checked out their deli / market across the street, which was fun to walk around. read more
