Dimes Deli

Solidly okay, but I definitely recommend calling ahead of time. I came during my lunch break as this is a popular spot among my coworkers, but ended up waiting almost half an hour for my food. A woman who ordered a few minutes after me but was sitting down at the counter ordered the same thing got her meal about 10 mins before me. Decent food, if overpriced. Workers have been generally friendly in my limited experience here.

Came here on a recommendation from another local business - grateful for the tip. Good food and drinks; quality and value. Relaxed vibe, enjoyed chatting with owner behind counter and got a great onward recommendation for surely the best burger in NYC. If you want to know where you’ll have to go and ask…

Vibe is cool. Food was subpar, oatmeal had the right fixings but no salt to really make it great and worth $12. Breakfast burrito is somewhat which for me isn’t my cup of tea but otherwise solid. Coffee was the best part! Worst part was the server/barista. Try a little harder man, I know you’re in LES, but don’t let it get to your head.

Came here with my pregnant wife to get her a small meal. Waiter placed his handout telling us to stop and not step in further because he was taking an order on the phone. I’m from around the way and almost knocked him out for being disrespectful. I don’t think these businesses realize true locals and people who grew up in the neighborhood try their stuff out. Don’t disrespect us. Hope this place closes down soon.

You know I love about this Deli? Just ability everything. It’s well designed interior is so welcoming—just like its staff. Dimes cares about design and quality products, produce, books, snacks, and so much more! Dimes is a modern day sundry shoppe offering its own products, like candles & lip balm. Stop by for some fresh fruit on the go. It never disappoints.

I really enjoy the food here, however, i find that their potions keep getting smaller and smaller. I frequently order a breakfast burrito and I find its more tortilla then it is anything else in there and for almost $20, Im not sure its worth it.

This place is a gem. Accommodating + efficient service and delicious food. Loved the chilaquiles and the fantastic baby sandwich. Can’t wait to go back!

This is the best meal that I've had in awhile. The salmon bowl was excellent and the smoothies are on point. I wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time. I have been so disappointed with restaurants lately that it was finally nice to have quality food at great prices.

Easiest 5 star of my life. Eat like a New York, Lower East Side native. Chilaquiles with chicken and avocado. White smoothie. Whatever the seasonal egg bowl has. The soba noodles. The coffee is fantastic. Staff is always so happy and helpful. Vibe is immaculate.

Consider yourself fortunate if you don't know what Dimes Square is, because you would've saved yourself some confusion trying to understand the microneighborhood named for this eatery I'm writing about today. Technically Dimes Square is named for the original Dimes next door, known for drawing a crowd of models, men with buns, and self-important young people who may have benefited from a trust fund or two. Dimes Deli is the casual sister eatery to Dimes, and gives off a diner vibe, but with things like poke and gazpacho on the menu. There is no discernible cuisine or theme, except that the menu leans healthy. I ordered both poke and gazpacho which were nice for the humid night I was there but didn't do much for my tastebuds. As much as I poke fun at those who like places like this I'm actually in this target demo. I'd very much enjoy a healthy bowl with a dragonfruit lavendar coconut water smoothie on the side, but only if executed well, and this meal was wholly unmemorable.

Dimes has a cozy understatedness to it, where you can get a solid breakfast burrito and enjoy watching the neighborhood flow through, a mixture of downtown chic and the ordinary. On my recent morning visit, an A-list celeb was there brunching with his family, totally casual and chill. The breakfast sandwich, with soft egg, avocado, and a whisp of cheddar served on a delicious roll, was my go to. The whole package has tremendous staying power and is more like 2 meals in one for me. I've also eaten at the Dimes main restaurant across the street, and for me, I prefer the counter service and more relaxed vibe of the deli.

I much prefer the more spacious restaurant just a block from this spot but for take away options Dimes Deli is a fairly good option for lunch. The tuna poké is excellent but for a fast casual spot it's a little too pricey.. I think I'll stick to sit-down lunches over at the restaurant..

I've been coming here since it was previously its flagship restaurant Dimes. I'm glad Sabrina De Sousa has kept this tiny spot going as Dimes Deli. I love coming in here after my morning runs to grab an egg sandwich or burrito. Dinner favorites are the pickled salmon bowl, the grilled salmon and the soba noodles. I recently tried the roasted chicken bowl. The chicken thigh and leg was perfectly done. But the kale was a bit disappointing. Staff is always friendly and gracious!

In the neighborhood and was on a quest to try this "Dimes Acai Bowl" that I keep reading about. Walking up Canal, I saw the Dimes logo on a door to a minimalist shop and was slightly confused but went in. I didn't know it was a little grocery, and the restaurant was next door (tinier than I expected). Now I see- they moved the restaurant to Canal Street and these places are new. BTW- the Dimes Rose Water facial spray looks really lovely.. The Deli offered 2 types of acai bowls, I got the Energy one (banana, dates, blackberries, maca, coconut, rice krispies), recommended by the super friendly employee. The pricing is really high for the quantity. The bowl was about 6" wide and 3" deep. The banana & blackberries on top were very fresh but as for the acai part, it neither tasted strongly of any, or a blend, of the "energy" ingredients listed. The color looked much paler than the restaurants' acai bowls. I guess I shouldn't compare this to Hawaii's bowls either. I got bits of frozen acai? ice pieces with my spoonfuls few times. I wouldn't mind trying their Chex breakfast bars, muffins, or coffee sometime. I doubt I'd pay such steep prices for their sandwiches (Shake Shack size) or pre-packaged Brown Rice Bowls (maybe 1/2 a cup of rice--they DO have poke- but this for $12?) and Salads. Dimes, can this Deli be a bit cheaper than your restaurant pricing? (ie. Cafe Habana to-go) The space is teeny! (6 stools, 2 small booth tables) But it is gorgeously designed. There's nice touches of the white painted wooden ceiling, intricate shelving (pretty ceramics by an artist), the molded kind of adobe sidewall with a triangle and rectangle cut-in display shelf & inset long mirror. Japanese fabrics hanging to conceal a panel and the kitchen. I appreciate the under counter hooks as well! I feel everything has been thought out. Nice labels for returning "dirty utensils" & "dirty cups." However..there seemed to be a pretentious air to the place. I wish I could have taken more pics of the space & food, but a girl dining was side-eyeing, and I also felt that I was in the employee's way chatting with a cool looking friend, though they didn't have much room to move around anyway. Yes, I wish the place was a bit aloha poke acai white-washed walls cacti on shelves rose water welcoming, but it just isn't.

I don't know about the salads and chia and acai bowls and that hipster healthy stuff, but the sandwiches here are pretty excellent. Just reopened in the original location of Dimes, now as Dimes Deli, they serve a small menu of sandwiches and pre made salads and bowls. They also have some drinks and pastries, including the excellent cookies from Ovenly. I tried the Western Fork ($10) (pulled chicken, taleggio, pickled kale and sundried tomatoes on sourdough Pullman), which was pretty good, but a little bit of a mushy mess after a few bites. On the other hand, the Summer Roll was great ($9). It's basically just a BLT, with a comically large strip of bacon hanging off, but what made it deliciously addictive was the Ssam Sauce slathered on the bun, as well as the slightly crispy, fluffy potato bun it was on. This sandwich is definitely worth trying. This is a great option for some lighter sandwiches and healthier fare. Plus, it's just 2 blocks away from Ice & Vice for a chance to ruin your healthy eating with some really delicious dessert.

its so Yummy i love the breakfast burrito add some bacon and Zomg the chili!!!! yay great service and music too

This is a tiny spot, but never too crowded and I've always been able to get a seat even during peak brunch hours on the weekend. They serve an all day menu, which is great for me because it means their amazing breakfast burrito is always available. Love to come here after yoga and get the breakfast burrito with an iced coffee or their cayenne lemonade, and sit and read for a bit. I've also had their berry acai bowl, which will hit the spot if you have a smoothie bowl craving, but nothing to write home about.

We ordered five coffees for the group, 3 lattes and 2 regulars and they all tasted weird. Two of us couldnt drink it and end up throwing it out.

Obsessed with this place. I used to volunteer at the library nearby and dropped by here after my shift to grab some lunch. I have tried multiple things on the menu and am so impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the delicious menu items. Think soCal cuisine in Chinatown. So far I've had the poke bowl and farmers salad with chicken. Both delicioso! 4 stars though because the place is TINY and unless if you are over 120 pounds you won't fit inside. Also the people who dine here are .... very hipstery. But the food is so good I'll keep coming back!

Been here enough times to know that all the sangas here are crowd pleasers. If made to choose a favourite, I'd go for the summer roll.

I came here to get the berry acai bowl for my brother and I was really disappointed. I tried the dimes restaurant and enjoyed their food so I thought why not come here for a express acai bowl since the restaurant wasn't open. I must say this was probably the worst acai bowl I had. It tasted stale, bitter, and icy. Not only did it not taste good it took forever to make something so simple. For $10 I expected better, it's around the same price I normally pay for but it usually taste better.

Started the day with both their breakfast sandwich (eggs done properly, though a bit heavy-handed on the sauce) and sumner roll (well-crisped bacon with juicy produce, brilliantly topped with superb ssam sauce) for free (shame both used the same meh bun) via UberEats promo codes. They took a while to even confirm the order, but it at least then arrived sooner than the ETA (thanks to the courier, not Dimes).,

This spot is an overall disappointment. First, don't come here to work; they don't have Wi-Fi, and instead, encouraged me to bum off a nearby shop's network - sketchy, spotty, and not cool. Second, the granola in my acai bowl was so stale, I almost chipped a tooth. My breakfast burrito's eggs were runny and flavorless. And for mediocre (at best) food, it's wicked over-priced. It's a shame - the atmosphere is cool, the shop is very clean and the location is prime. But I won't be back until they get back to basics.

Ive been going to the various Dimes restaurants for as long as they've been open- the concept, well, it's not really a concept, but the idea is great...but its often hit or miss. Mostly just due to lazy, slow, or pretentious service. I always give them another chance, but yesterday I received food that was almost inedible (two breakfast burritos)- not even sure what was off in them, the eggs or the avacados. When I called, the guy who answered was just rude and completely uninterested that they could be serving food that would potentially make someone ill- especially in this time and definitely not one second did he think about a refund...$40 for two burritos, a tiny açaí bow and two coffees.... you'd think they would care a bit more. Lame.

Love the energy acai bowl-- I order it most mornings through ubereats. Only complaint would be consistency with the dishes at night. We ordered the energy acai bowl over the weekend at 8 pm and got a soupy, and oddly sparse bowl, missing the dates and blueberries and w/ two little pieces of banana. Shrugs- I just don't order from there at night anymore-- totally recommend otherwise~ :)

Food is dope, great for take out. Latte was undrinkable, resulting in a 6 dollar loss for a 12 Oz.

Take out situation is terrible. The bags they use literally disintegrate within 2 or 3 minutes of walking home. Same goes for the grocery store next door. To make matters worse the clueless clerk stuffed about 20 pounds of groceries into one of these flimsy "bags". Very very cheap bags and every time without fail the bottom breaks and the food is on the floor. There are plenty of places which use eco-friendly bags that are still sturdy and function as a BAG. Step it up already guys!!! Also, staff goofs around way too much. Found myself a few times waiting in line to pay in the packed tiny space while the staff chats with each other or chatting up a customer. Friendliness is nice but not at the expense of being rude to the people who are waiting. This is New York guys step it up!!! The staff treats the place like their hang out spot instead of a place where people pay money for a service.

Everyone at Dimes Deli is always so friendly, it's a hip crowd and very nice people running it, who love what they do. The menu is great for a quick snack or sandwich and although this place is small you usually get a seating inside. It's a cute neighborhood spot and I love to come here.

My friends and I were trying to go to the Dimes restaurant, but we were so hungry that we accidentally stumbled upon the deli instead. I ordered the Pork Bowl and to my pleasant surprise it was ENORMOUS! It wasn't particularly special, but the apples nicely complemented the pork to create the classic sweet and savory flavor. My friends were all very pleased with their orders; we all sampled the Salmon Bowl, Berry Acai Bowl, and the Madam Patron Sandwich. Great place for a quick lunch!

Ok so currently having the seared salmon bowl and Tuna poke. The bowl is a decent size for somebody like me that gets filled up quickly, as is the poke. Pricing is a bit steep, but I mean come on, you already knew that! The environment is definitely pretentious but hey, I'm a Park Sloper so I should probably hold my tongue....

This is now the second time I've been burned when ordering a simple bagel with cream cheese. The first time, I thought the amount of cc (or lack thereof) was a mistake. Like maybe the person went to add another smear, got distracted and then forgot, packaged it up and sent me on my way. But then the second one came and I now know it was no mistake. In neither instance did I request the smallest amount of cream cheese that you could still charge me for, so all I am left to think is that you guys either hate cream cheese and those who order it or you are skimping to save money. Please go order a bagel from anywhere, ever and you will find the correct amount of cream cheese to put on a bagel. It should be enough to scrape off so it doesn't drip onto my pants, not just a mere suggestion.

Come in for the Seared Salmon Bowl. It looks like a small portion but its actually satisfying once you're done, it's full of flavor, their quinoa is amazing, and the salmon isn't overcooked. Juices are a bit overpriced, but you know what you're getting when you step into Dimes Deli!

Nice little coffee place. Tasty breakfast sandwich. Pleasant sunlight in the morning.

A smaller location from the original Dimes restaurant but still fantastic! I came on Monday afternoon at Dimes and when I walked in, the waitress told me that it would take at least 45mins wait. Because my friend has work at 3pm, I told her we can't and she suggested me to go to the other location, at Division ST. I ordered a energy acai bowl and my friend got the breakfast burrito. The Acai bowl was filling and delicious! My friend told me that the burrito was amazing and was made perfectly. Definitely coming back again!

I love this place. They are authentic, and have creative dishes. It's LES's finest deli. They're chili is amazing and unique, using yogurt lime and cardamom. The breakfast burrito is delicious and has the perfect amount of kick to it. Their drinks are crafted carefully and they even have a grocery store right next door. Not to mention, the cookies they make are amazing, and the prices are very affordable, especially for NYC. I highly recommend you check them out!

Was just at Dimes Deli! Ooo wee they had this mushroom pasta salad that was LIT! Service went above and beyond- very friendly. Would recommend this spot to anybody!

Great neighborhood spot for a coffee meeting or quick lunch. Ingredients are fresh and 'different' than typical deli. Live a few blocks away and my Go-to for weekday snack and lunch

Super yummy breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito and homemade almond milk and hot sauce! I don't really love eggs but I will walk 15 mins to dimes deli just for one of their egg sandwiches. Some of the staff super friendly, some not so much. Great for grab and go not much room to sit, especially in the morning when they have their pre-work coffee rush.

I ordered the soba chicken salad from uber eats... Skimpy serving for the price (total $13) and looked nothing like the picture! Tastes fine though I may need to buy a supplemental lunch!

Perfect spot for a quick meal or takeout. Amazing full coffee / tea bar as well. Highly recommend if you're in the area and need something quick that's easy on your wallet!!

I love going there for a quiet lunch or just for take away, the place is very relaxed and the food is always fresh and colorful. My favorite things to order are the curried chicken salad, the soups and the rice bowl.
