The Dime is a special little breakfast and luncheon eatery on Daniel Island. It’s well located near a park and the river. Plenty of inside and outside seating, but also offers take away. The food is fresh and fantastic! If you’re in the area it’ worth stopping in for a pork roll on an everything bagel

I love the location. I love the coffee. I love the food and Casey always has a big smile and always welcoming... she could teach a class on customer service. However your other staff is dry doesn't smile not attentive. I brought a client there and we ate our $50 breakfast outside 35 degrees. I asked that they light the fire. I was told no... but how about at least HEAT LAMPS. Then we all can eat outside in comfort at least... but they laughed when I walked away..... RUDE. DISRESPECTFUL. I work in customer service and that is definitely not acceptable

Ordered an iced vanilla latte and it tasted super burnt tasting and not picky a person at all but couldn't drink it. Also ordered a breakfast burrito and it tasted very strange like the avocado was expired and again not picky but couldn’t even finish it.

Was hoping Dime would match the cute decor and location, but it had an awful atmosphere. Said hello to cashier taking my order and she didn’t even smile back she immediately said what do you want while rolling her eyes. Food was fine but didn’t come out with everything we ordered. The whole atmosphere was quiet and rigid, you could tell other guests vibes felt the same way. I do not plan on returning
