    Robert Sietsema's 4 star review: "With avocado, arugula, juice-dripping roasted tomatoes, sweet jalapenos, & lime-cilantro mayo, the BLT ($11) is a thing of beauty that will also burn your mouth off." Read more

    In the morning: love toast and breakfast tacos. At night: burrata with charred greens and spring salad with pickled salmon.

    Trendy hipster breakfast spot with great light ✨ The pancakes were delicious! Little too much peanut butter in the acai bowl, but still fresh. I'd come back

    This is my favorite brunch place in New York--the food is fantastic and fresh. Their BLT blows my mind every time with a generous heaping of bacon. Always get a seasonal salad

    Great place —however: beware of ordering “the juice of the day”. This SHOT GLASS of a juice is $7. I never leave tips here, but THIS I had to share. Absolute none sense.

    Healthy and delicious California style food. You can't go wrong with the egg sandwich or one o their breakfast bowls. Long lines so be prepared to wait or come early.

    mango pitaya bowl or any other acai bowl is yummy. matcha rolls are divine. great vibes and nice atmosphere. no reservations, so come willing to wait a bit.

    Resist the temptation to get the very capable breakfast sandwich (it's a touch too small, and thus you're a touch too sad when you finish it) and spring for the spicy quinoa bowl. Read more

    Charming Chinatown eatery serves healthy breakfast fare like $9 açai bowls with bee pollen and hemp until 4 p.m. Look for their homemade, Opening Ceremony-approved beauty products on-site. Read more

    Get the breakfast with 2 eggs any style. All the ingredients are simple but so fresh and perfect. Great fresh juices and kale salad. Good acai bowls too.

    Hippest healthy spot in Chinatown founded by two girls. The food is tasty, and they make their own hot sauce which you can buy at Dimes market across the street. However, their coffee sucks!

    Looking for a healthy day-starter but sick of the same old? Fuel up with banana-topped acai bowls, matcha yogurt and Moroccan poached eggs. (Warning: Your increased energy levels may alarm coworkers.) Read more

    LA style cuisine in NYC. And sometime the girl from ugly Betty hangs here. Harissa salmon is on point. You can't go wrong with anything.

    Perfect brunch. Split the Acai berry bowl with granola, banana and strawberries. Also had the Croissant egg sandwich. The homemade hot sauce should have a special name - maybe gods sauce?!

    Amazing. The food here is just amazing. Good portions with good prices. The wIne selection is small and even smaller if you just want it by the glass.

    Dimes is an actual restaurant in juice-bar guise with fresh, vibrant, not entirely vegetarian food, from a summer salad with blackberries, cantaloupe, and feta. Packed at brunch. Mellow at dinner.

    The acai bowls here are pretty solid. The best part is the granola. I really like the coffee shop branch of Dimes because it serves food all day and is more peaceful.

    The amazing breakfast more than makes up for the squirrelly and skittish demeanor of the staff. Frail and cautious, but cool yo. Acai, juice. Leave your luggage at home.

    If you're here for dinner and want something on the heartier side, the chicken is a very solid choice. I'd recommend going elsewhere for dessert though—or at least avoiding the cheesecake.

    Good healthy food but in a terrible space, cramped, minuscule cafe with no heating in January! Find a new roomy space to move into please, crowdsource - I'll contribute!

    Best thing about this place is the aesthetic. The food is average but beautiful. I did enjoy the tahini love toast, but it needed more honey. Chia pudding was okay. Atrocious service.
