Description

The wooden tables and chairs are mismatched and funky, and there's a nook where you can relax in a sofa or an easy chair. Conveniently close to downtown and the Heights, Dharma Café is a hip place to hang out over an espresso or a glass of wine. Wraps, salads and pasta dishes are solid at lunch; steaks and seafood are excellent at dinner. Don't miss the key lime pie -- it's arguably the best in the city.

    Vibrant green threads of lime zest decorated the top of the exhilaratingly tart key lime pie at Dharma Cafe on Houston Avenue. The pie is authentically cream-­colored, not artificial AstroTurf green. It's not too sweet and not too gelatinous. In... More »

    Dharma Cafe is a homey oasis smack-dab in the rundown industrial area along Houston Avenue that makes up the nexus of Downtown and the Heights. Get away from the hectic noise and the stiletto-heels scene that dominate many high-end Sunday brunch spots and pull up a chair in this unassuming cafe with photos of Beat poets such as Jack Kerouac and his sidekick Neal Cassady scattered on the walls. The buffet is all-you-can-eat and includes traditional items such as waffles made in an antique... More »
