What the New York Times Had to Say About Our Bennies, Hash & More

We’re thrilled to share that Dime Store has been featured in The New York Times as one of the must-visit stops in their latest “36 Hours in Detroit” travel guide!

The series, which highlights the best things to eat, see & do across the country, gave us a major shoutout for our creative takes on eggs Benedict and all-day brunch. Here’s what they had to say:

“Beloved for its creative eggs Benedict and all-day breakfast, the Dime Store is a downtown brunch favorite… The restaurant occupies the ground floor of one of Detroit’s oldest skyscrapers, built in 1912 to house the Dime Savings Bank of Detroit.”

We’re honored to represent Detroit—and proud to see our little brunch spot mentioned in one of the world’s most respected publications.

📸 Pictured above: our Duck Bop Hash, which didn’t make the blurb—but did make the photo cut. Worth it.

Inside Dime Store Detroit

Our name is a nod to the building we call home—the historic Dime Savings Bank of Detroit, built in 1912—and to the casual lunch counters you’d find in five-and-dime stores of the midcentury era. You can read more about our origins on our Our Story page.

The portraits inside reflect that spirit: vintage, American, and just a little cheeky.
