Two Hands

usually with brunch you have to make a deal with the devil. not here. the food is delicious and healthy, fun yet simple, nourishing but not food-coma-inducing, picture-perfect and also ACTUALLY very good. for special occasions and the every day. lovely atmosphere and staff. my favorite daytime food in the city. yummy!

This is our favorite brunch spot in NYC! Great food and coffee all the way around. The burger was perfectly cooked. Toasted sesame bun. Great sauce. And the patties were no soaked in oil, so it was very easy to eat. And a nice hearty salad on the side. The signature poached eggs meal is fantastic. That is our typical go to. But there are plenty of other options The place has a great feel and welcoming staff.

We are visiting NY and wanted a nutritious and healthy breakfast and Two Hands delivered. On a Friday morning at 8:30 it wasn't busy at all. The service was great and the food delicious. The Açai Bowl was very filling and satisfying. The egg toast was delicious and spicy "in a good way". The service was a bit slow but our server was very nice and took care of us greatly. The espresso was good albeit not the best I've had (being Italian) but definitely above average.

Great brunch style food. Not only is the presentation great, the flavour is top quality. The flat whites were perfect. We travelled 30 mins to try our this place and weren’t disappointed. Lots of pleasant staff and the orders were quickly served. The staff look like they like what they do.

Came for the banana bread. It was dry but still good with the frosting. The acai bowl is too sweet and too frozen for my taste. Lemon waffle was the star. Great service and location.

Two Hands was a fantastic breakfast on a Saturday morning. I had a reservation but they were only half full at 10am. The winter latte with oat milk was delicious and came out fast. My mother ordered the breakfast roll with scrambled eggs, avocado, bacon, watercress and Sriracha aioli. It was delicious and filling! I ordered the brassicas salad with sweet potato, charred broccolini, brussels sprouts, kale, hummus, soft boiled egg, avocado, and pickled shallots. It was massive, delicious, and filling. The hummus was unnecessary to the complexity of the dish, albeit tasty. Staff was polite and attentive. The space is snug but not uncomfortable. Would definitely recommend for a fast, comforting, and delightfully healthy meal to start your day

Cafe was airy, open and relaxing, a great environment to slowly enjoy your food with a friend or pull out a laptop and get some work done. Both items I ordered were super fresh, healthy and satisfying. The quality for the price was worth it. From the berries to the mushrooms, everything tasted so flavorful and delicious. Customer service was great as well - they happily accomodated my requests (non sourdough bread and add mushrooms to my order).

Best avocado toast in NYC (in my opinion), had brunch with my friends (total of 4 persons) the restaurant is not that big but don’t need to wait that long. I recommend to order avocado toast and add scrambled egg. It is so good, sour and a bit spicy. So fresh for brunch menu.

Stopped in for brunch on a weekend with my sister after the nearby diner we originally wanted to go to had a 1.5hr wait. LOL, who me?! wait that long, for breakfast?! keep your fluffy pancakes!! Ordered an OJ + an iced latte + breakfast burrito + roasted sweet potato cubes side + eggs on toast w/ microgreens --- every dish was perfect all around *chefs kiss MWAHHH* huge huge huge fan of them adding mushrooms to the burrito. well wrapped, well portioned, perfect distribution of fillings. Loved how simple and straightforward the roasted sweet potato chunks were. inspired me to start roasting them at home again! My sister thought her iced coffee was the best she's ever had and she's like.. an iced coffee connoisseur soooo... I had average expectations due to the rating but place had brunch on LOCK. Would definitely come back again if in the area!

This review is a bit overdue, but I went to Two Hands with friends for brunch a couple months back and we all agree that we'll be back again! I was so excited when I see brunch options that are gluten free and aren't a basic omelet, so I was thrilled to see the Zoe's Market Plate on the Two Hands menu and it did not disappoint. The quality of the ingredients in the bowl were excellent and I love that it was filled with veggies that weren't saturated in oils like brunch food can be at other restaurants. My friend really enjoyed her breakfast burrito but it was not gluten free so I didn't taste it myself. Our coffees were also good and overall the service was quick.

I came to this cute trendy cafe for the banana bread with coffee mascarpone as it looked so good on TikTok. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The banana bread was dry and hard rather than moist and fluffy, and it was also a bit too sweet. The mascarpone on top was beautiful and provided a nice contrast to the banana bread, but it didn't make up enough for how bad the banana bread was. I did like the toasted buckwheat on top. Overall, an average breakfast for an area with a lot of great food options. Now I see that this place is closed for good, so maybe it was for the best.

Made a reservation through resy for four people on a Sunday - love brunch spots that take reservations! Seating was available at 11:15 on the dot. We were there early so had to wait a bit. The place is small and we were waiting to get the host to check us in. The hostess didn't seem to know to come over to us? Or maybe we were supposed to go to them in the back? I had to go to the back to flag the hostess before we got seated even though they know we've been waiting to get seated (there was a please wait to get seated sign we were standing by). We were seated with no issues even though we only had three people of the four. We ordered off the QR code menu. All day brunch menu is separate from the drink menu. There's no alcohol but I was totally cool with that. I ordered the lemon poppy seed waffle with a side of bacon and this was the perfect dish. It was pretty big because I couldn't finish it. It was also beautifully presented. Matcha latte was okay and didn't make me use the toilet like other matcha lattes. Mocha was also good. My partner got the chicken bowl and it seemed pretty substantial as well, but personally for me it was a tad too sour. Overall, a really great brunch spot and great location to check out Chinatown and little Italy after.

great customer service!! So friendly, sweet, attentive & accommodating I will definitely return jst because of the great experience !! Food was yum .. I got a Banana Walnut bread w espresso Mascarpone, toasted buckwheat, & honey, it was yum!! The mascarpone on top was light & had a great coffee flvr .. wOut being bitter or too much .. such a delight. The actual bread is served chilled & was good.. not super sweet & dessert like But i think thts the point of the toppings, (& it being a bFast option).. loved the toasted buckwheat on top.. so surprised the roasted mushrooms are delicious !! definitely get !! gf got the breakfast roll which she enjoyed & said it had a nice kick w the sriracha aioli!! & an iced oat milk latte the music was a little loud but it's a great cafe w wifi so you Can study, work, etc ...

Stopped here for a glass of wine and light bites. I loved the modern atmosphere. The service was as expected and gave us a nice rundown of our wine choices. I came here for a late lunch, early happy hour time and it was the perfect time.

This spot on the border of Chinatown and little Italy has super fresh and light energy -- makes you want to order a green juice immediately-- which I did. The prices are typically high for a clean brunch spot, but all food was great. We loved the twisted scrambled egg. Need to come back to try the açaí bowl-- was too cold when we came and we were seated right next to the door where the draft was pretty unbearable. Overall would come back... this location takes reservations, while the noho location does not.

I had so many recommendations from people to visit here when I came to New York, so of course, I had to stop by. The lines are long and wait times kind of insane, so I would recommend preparing yourself for that when you go. But it is 100% worth the wait. Their lattes are delicious; they know their way around an espresso. The eggs and potatoes are also so tasty -- it's made so simple, but tastes incredible. I got a fun cup and saucer as a souvenir and whenever I look at it, it brings such good memories. Ever since, every time I've been to New York, I have made it a priority to stop here.

4/5 Went there two times. The food is great in general It is always crowded, so don't expect good service or expect that people will check if you are finished so that you can leave asap whenever you finish. 5/5 salmon quinoa bowl: strongly recommended and very healthy and filing! ?/5 mushroom bowl: too interesting.. full of kimchi, pickles and spicy mushrooms, not what I would eat for brunch again .. but interesting to try when you are boring I guess

Absolutely love Two Hands restaurant in New York City, inspired by the Australian movie. Located on the corner of Mott Street and Broome Street, the restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a simple yet diverse menu. One of the dishes that stood out to me was the Zoe's Market Plate, which features two eggs any style, avocado, watercress, confit tomatoes, sweet potato, beet relish, and quinoa. The presentation of the dish was vibrant and visually appealing, showcasing the quality of ingredients used in the preparation. It's definitely a fresh and satisfying vegan option. What impressed me most about Two Hands was the commitment to providing excellent customer service. Victoria and Eve was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations. Overall, Two Hands is a must visit restaurant for food lovers looking for a unique dining experience. With a simple menu that showcases fresh and flavorful ingredients, coupled with outstanding customer service, Two Hands is a standout destination in the New York City food scene in the heart of Soho/Nolita.

Everyone is raving about their Espresso mascarpone banana bread and they do live up the hype!! Remember to match it w their ube latte~ Miso mushroom bowl was ok

Decent food although somewhat "fru fru" prepared - lacking some basic home cooking goodness. Trying for good ambiance in a rougher area but not pulling it off. Coffee was flavorful, acai bowl tasted a little weird.

Two thumbs up for Two Hands! We found this place by pure luck. We were staying at NobleDen, which is a stone's throw away, and wanted a breakfast place that offered avocado toast (my husband's fave). Two Hands fit the bill. They offer reservations but none were needed on a Monday morning. My husband and I just had plain old coffee because we never know what to order to get something fancier (like those coffees with designs in the foam....are they lattes?, cappuccinos?... who knows)At any rate the coffee was delish. I had the French Toast and my husband had the avo toast. When I tell you we wiped our plates clean... there wasn't a single morsel left. If you're downtown and hungry for brunch, don't hesitate to stop in and experience Two Hands for yourself!

WOW! This place was great!! We walked in on a Sunday at 9:00 without a reservation and were able to get seated, but I would 1000% recommend making a reservation because they had to turn down several walk-ins after us. I had the Kellys plate without quinoa and subbed for toast instead + bacon. It was the freshest, most delicious breakfast I have ever had. I loved it. My boyfriend had the steak sandwich which was also amazing and had a slight spicy tang to it. The quality of all the food was 12/10. We split the banana bread which was also very good, but I just which it was warm. It has marscapone on top, so maybe thats why it is served cold. Regardless, we practically licked our plates lol! I would absolutely go back again.

Wow, came here w bestie & I completely understand the long lines, totally worth the wait! The warm purple taro latte was just perfect on a cold day & I'm told I can get it w an espresso shot (w def try next time). The food came quick (also checked vax status which I really appreciate) & the servers were good w checking in on us but never seemed annoying or pushy. The place is just lovely & I highly recommend...will def mark this as a keeper.

So good!! We stopped in for breakfast / brunch on a Sunday and got in without a reservation at 9:30am. Immediately afterward it got PACKED, so would def recommend a reservation if you plan on going here. The steak and eggs was PERFECT. Most delicious hash brown ever and the anchovy dressing was one of my favorite dressings ever! Service was good and coffee & flat white were great. Cute decor and they played all my fave music (two Mariah songs in a row, basically all R&B and Aaliyah as we were leaving), so I was fully in heaven!

Patricia our server was an incredible energy and the food was not only straight up tasty but also super complex with little notes of different unusual flavors making these classic dishes even more stimulating and enjoyable! Highly recommend!! They're busy tho so call in a rezzie

This is our favorite brunch spot in NYC! Great food and coffee all the way around. The burger was perfectly cooked. Toasted sesame bun. Great sauce. And the patties were no soaked in oil, so it was very easy to eat. And a nice hearty salad on the side. The signature poached eggs meal is fantastic. That is our typical go to. But there are plenty of other options The place has a great feel and welcoming staff.

Wow! Such good food, best waffle ive ever had! The breakfast burrito was also very tasty with a yummy salsa! Great service! We made a reservation and were seated very quickly!

Both the service and the quality of the food were excellent! The interior was small but quaint in the best way. My friends and I shared the banana bread with vanilla mascarpone (they were out of the espresso mascarpone), which was so delicious! We also got two chicken bowls, Zoe's market plate, and the seasonal scramble, all of which tasted amazing. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Very expensive for what it is. Judging from the line outside and the clientele inside, it seemed clear to me that this place is bolstered by its Instagrammable plates and open, airy vibe. But let's get to the matter at hand - the food. My sister and I got sandwiches (the BLAT and I got the one with mozzarella and pesto, forgot the name). They were fine - nothing crazy in either direction, but very forgettable for $14 each. We also ordered the $10 banana bread to share. I was skeptical from the jump ($10 for a pastry?? This better be good) - it was disappointing. Thin slice with some shmear on it. Wasn't worth the price tag, and was kind of weird in the mix of flavors. Overall, will not return. I work too hard for my money, might as well make it go a little farther.

The smashed avocado toast was amazing. I would cone here every day for it. So many flavors!

As soon as we walked in we got seated right away which was wonderful. After the host dropped off our waters and gave us our menu we then proceeded to wait for the server to take our order.. 5 minutes go by.. then 10.. then another group comes in and gets seated, orders their coffee the server is attending to everyone but us. Mind you there are open tables nearby and it is not completely full. I set a 5 minute timer and at 15 minutes we just walk out. We made eye contact with our host and folks at the bar but servers never bothered to look our way. It's unfortunate and being literally the only people of color in the restaurant made it feel much worse. My thoughts and prayers for your business. Y'all lost a local.

Came here my group of ladies for brunch and was seated promptly. I settled for a breakfast burrito with added bacon for an extra $5. Our orders came quickly and I was pretty satisfied with the burrito plus the dipping sauce it came with. I can't say it was worth the $20 total for just the breakfast burrito alone but it was good for the experience.

$5.90 for an almond milk latte, but it was a stellar latte. On-point in terms of Australian style and quality, that's for sure. It was bigger than I expected, too, but I finished it in fewer than five minutes, because it was that good. The bitterness was just right. Two Hands is very sophisticated and modern inside. It feels open, relaxed, bright, and airy. Dreaming of Byron Bay white sands and sun? Pop in here for avocado toast (duh) and Melbourne-style coffee (what else) to satisfy that craving. Yeah, you're close to Little Italy and it feels sacrilegious to get a latte at an Australian place, but Two Hands makes it worth it. I'd love to return for a proper brunch one day, as they have pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast bites.

Food and service were 4 stars, and the restaurant itself is very cute and inviting, buttt had a bit of an unfortunate/uncomfortable experience while dining here where we were absolutely freezing throughout the entire meal. There was a hole on one of the sides of the wall, and freezing cold air was constantly flowing in (it was daytime in January and around 20 degrees outside). It was pretty comical seeing everyone fully bundled up in their winter coats/parkas trying to enjoy brunch, but also pretty miserable enduring those conditions when we trying to enjoy our brunch. ANYWAY food-wise we really enjoyed everything, and both the Matcha and golden/turmeric lattes were phenomenal (and they offer oat milk!). Zoe's Market Plate (two eggs any style with avocado, watercress, roast tomato, sweet potatoes, beet relish & quinoa) was a great choice for me, liked that there was so much variety on one plate. The sweet potatoes were very well prepared and simple but memorably delicious. BF had the Supermoon Ham and Cheese Croissant (cheddar cheese and leg of ham), which he loved, and was especially a fan of the buttery, yummy croissant. Would recommend for breakfast/brunch/lunch now that it's warmer and a gaping hole isn't really an issue or big grievance haha.

A cute little breakfast spot, however, I was disappointed when I looked over their menu after we sat. Everything on the menu (or at least the breakfast menu) is VERY similar. I got a drip coffee and I can say with confidence it was the worst cup of coffee I've ever tasted. I went here on a business lunch and did not pick our location. Like I said above, it was a total disappointment. There are so many great places in the city - I'd skip out on this spot.

Just ate here this morning and enjoyed the food! Cant believe we've never stopped by sooner. We had the breakfast burrito and Brassicas salad and would highly recommend the burrito for anyone who wants a delicious warm meal in this weather the sos was so good. Will stop by again.

Taking off some stars mostly for the long wait time! To be fair, my friends and I came during prime brunch time on a Sunday, but a 2 hour wait is no joke. We ended up chilling outside the restaurant for a bit, and it actually worked out since one of our other friends was running late. When we were finally seated, service was pretty quick and efficient. I had an avocado toast with poached egg - the ingredients tasted fresh, although it wasn't necessarily worth waiting 2 hours for and I've been to better Australian brunch spots. Would still come back, but only if wait times are more reasonable!

Super good food and amazing service! The two people working were some of the sweetest people ever! They really helped make sure my sister had an awesome birthday, thank you! Also they played all the hits

Although some of my friends find Two Hands overrated, I absolutely loved it. We came in at about 10 am on a Saturday, and the wait was ~ 30 for a fable of 4. The inside is very cute: the have nice art pieces on the walls, and there is a lot of natural light. The space is pretty small but fits a lot of people. The granola was delicious - the yogurt tasted unique (mango?), and had plenty of additions. If you want something a little more savory, Brassicas Bowl is also a great choice - hummus goes very well with Brussels shavings. Another thing! I like when avocado is smashed on the toast VS just cut in pieces, and theirs was perfect!

Victoria B. is the best! She's seamless, dedicated, and makes a Two Hands experience that much more enjoyable! Will definitely be coming back for the food and her exceptional, brilliant service!

Cute brunch place! We went on a weekday lunch, so thankfully there wasn't a wait. Weekends are a different story though. The place is pretty small but has a lot of tables, which does make it seem a bit cramped. I still loved the atmosphere. The host and waiters were all really nice as well. I ordered the matcha latte after reading all of the great reviews about it, but unfortunately I was not a fan. You can barely taste the matcha but was still overly sweet. I also ordered the avocado toast, which I never do at restaurants since I never saw the point in paying so much for something you can make at home, but it was worth it, including the extra for the eggs. The egg is a must add-on to the toast. I will visit again, especially to try the sweet potato fries (they didn't have it when I went).

The food was amazing and the service was even better. TRISTAN was the best waiter I've ever had in NYC. He made my party and I laugh and feel so welcome and happy. We had one of the best brunches because of his amazing service. I will be back!

I loooved their chicken bowl Amazing portions and acai bowl was delicious as well Service was amazing as well ! :)

I thought this place was overrated, service was slow and patchy, food was average :/ just another basic Australian restaurant

The granola was very good. They toasted the granola which added a great flavor and they had a delicious yogurt that accompanied it. I was a little confused on how to eat it because there wasnt that much yogurt and they had milk on the side. Nevertheless, it was delicious. A fun trendy little place where I would return. Looking fwd to trying other items here. Bathrooms were also pretty clean which is always a plus.

Came here with my team for lunch and was able to get seated for 4 right away. This place was really popping - a lot more popping that I remember. They have a lot of yummy brunch foods on the menu, a lot being healthy but still tasty. I got the acai bowl and the presentation was 10/10 - super filling (portion size was a lot more than I remember) and reasonable prices. Our waiter was also very kind. Definitely recommend as a brunch spot around the area!

Picked up the warm chook sandwich from here for lunch and it was an good! There were so many flavors going on and the lemongrass aioli was phenomenal

Stopped by for a light brunch and ordered the breakfast burrito. The burrito was tasteful and surprisinly very filling. The staff was friendly and my server Crystal was amazing!! She was so attentive and friendly. I was also able to get some work done.. the vibe and playlist was perfect! Can't wait to come back again!!

People need to stop writing bad reviews for this place because it deserves your business. I came here years ago and loved it. 5 years later, I'm so glad I've come back. The flavors are all there. Portions are great. Had the lemon poppy waffle (mascarpone was delicious). Zoe's market plate with poached egg (they give you a generous half of an avocado with olive oil). Can't remember the name of the plate with broccolini and Brussel sprouts and kale but the flavor of the kale and hummus was fantastic. Definitely recommend this place just as much as Jack's Wife Freida. 10/10.

Cute healthy cafe. Great for a low key healthy brunch / breakfast. All the food is really great. I got the egg sandwich without the bacon and the bun was so light and airy but crispy and the sauce on top was great. Also have really good matcha lattes. Cute atmosphere and great service. The soft scrambled eggs are also really good as is the Zoe's market plate.

I had pretty high expectations coming here, especially I wanted to try the acai bowl because it looks so pretty in picture on Yelp! All the food looked so pretty! I mean yes it was pretty in actuality, but I wouldn't say it's worth coming here considering there are tons of brunch spots in NYC. First let's get into food: For the price of the food, the quality really doesn't reflect the price. Yes, it's in a popular neighborhood, but that doesn't mean the food should just taste okay. Acai bowl: There was really nothing special about this. Aside from the bowl looking very pretty, the acai bowl was quite small. It tasted pretty good, but is it worth $12? I don't think so. I actually made acai bowl myself at home, and it tasted actually better than this restaurant, which already says something considering I have very LITTLE experience with cooking. Avocado toast: It was pretty tasty, but nothing special. Breakfast sandwich: This was the only dish that I found most worth eating here, flavors were on point, presentation on point. Bowl: It was pretty good. I would say that the food portions are a bit small, so it wasn't quite filling enough, and the food was okay. There wasn't anything special about the taste of the food. Service: I was actually not that pleased. My mom ordered the bowl, but it took a WHILE for her to get her dish. I noticed that other customers got their dishes before my table, although MY table ordered BEFORE them, so I was actually disappointed with that. Especially for my mom, her dish took about 20-30 minutes to arrive, while the rest of my family and I were already digging into our food before my mom got her dish pretty long after. My table had to ask the waitress WHY my mom's food was taking so long to come, when everyone else who got the same dish as my mom was getting theirs before her. Even after, it took a while for my mom's food to come! I wouldn't come back again because of the slow service and food was a bit pricy for the bit-too-small portions and quality of the food.

A friend has been recommending this brunch place for a while (though she frequents their Brooklyn location), so I knew I had to try it. We came at around 10 am on a Saturday, so it wasn't too crowded, and we were seated immediately. They started to fill up as we were leaving. We split the pickled chili scrambled eggs and the banana and walnut bread. The flavor combination was great; the pickled chili gave the tang to eggs that I like. Was amused that it came with half an avocado sitting on the eggs, as I'm used to avocado being served spread out. I wasn't a fan of the banana and walnut bread. It certainly looked pretty, with the tiny beaded nuts decorating the espresso mascarpone like brown pearls on cream taffeta. The flavor wasn't my favorite. The scent of espresso is overpowering over the other flavors (I didn't get notes of banana at all), and I feel like the bread could be more accurately renamed after that. My first impression of this place was that it was very cute. It almost gave me more cafe than brunch vibes; it was bright and airy, with cute decor (think: lighting and plants) and even merch that they sell. Switch out their smaller tables for tables you could actually do work on, and I could see the place as a cafe fairly easily. Thought the food was a tad expensive for the portions. Was a cool place to try once, though.

The best breakfast in NYC!! Love the veggies that you can get on the side of your eggs... my personal favorite is the butternut squash. Very trendy place to meet up with friends!

Came by once and the line was too long, but luckily the second time around the wait was not too bad so my friend and I were able to have brunch here. I remember the first time I saw this restaurant on a must try brunch website and wanted to go because the decor was cute and their açaí bowls looked good. Ironically, I didn't order that because it was a cold day and I wanted something hot. My friend and I came by on a Saturday around 12pm and had a 40 minutes wait time. We went around the area to do some window shopping and by the time we finished our table was ready. The restaurant is a bit small so it was a bit cramped, but one can still move around. The decor on the ceiling was really cute and I wondered if the big fan really works. I ordered the Zoe's marketplace which consisted of sweet potato, avocado, egg, and mini watercress salad. For my eggs I had them sunny side up. My friend ordered the a flat white and corn fritters that came with beets and arugula salad with avocado. Our dishes looked very appealing with an assortment of vegetables on the plate and it tasted as good as it looked. Each part of the dish was well seasoned. However, I did think there was a little bit too much olive oil on my egg which may have been for the salad. Overall, we both enjoyed our meals and were very full for the next few hours despite it not looking like there was a lot at first (for myself, but truth is the plate was big and had lots on it). I would go back again to try the other dishes they offer and the acai bowls. But I wouldn't go with too many people since the place is a bit small and the wait would be very long. And I may also try coming on a weekday when it may be less crowded.

I'd give a 3.5/5 for this place. This is our first time here. The good part was we came around 11:30 and didn't have to wait at all. But the service is kinda slow, compared to other similar brunch places. We got the burger and an avocado toast. They both tasted ok, as they are supposed to. But it's definitely over priced. If you look through menu photos on yelp, you will realized that the price for avocado toast went from $7 to $9 to $13(now). And if you wanna add an pouched egg, it's extra $3.5, sounds a bit too much for me. The portion of the food is slightly small for girls like me. And I don't have a big appetite. Other than that, my friend ordered a coffee first. She waited for 15 min for the coffee, and when the waitress came with the coffee, she gave it to the table next to us who arrived after us. Then they almost served a drink that we didn't order at all. At the end they offered another regular coffee for free. Overall we paid for $20+ for a brunch and still feeling hungry. We'll have to reconsider if we want to come back.

I decent place for weekend brunch! We came in around 10 on a Saturday morning and it was not crowded yet. By the time we left around 11, it was starting to fill up. Our waitress was nice and quick. She brought us water and coffee. Coffee is pretty pricey and costs $1 for refills - not a great aspect for a brunch place... we ordered the banana bread and the granola. Also ordered a side of peanut butter because why not! The banana bread was to die for. The espresso mascarpone whipped topping was amazing. The bread was super dense and filling. The granola was amazing as well. A very light and refreshing yogurt and very delicious and fresh granola. The peanut butter was also outstandingly delicious. This place exceeded my expectations in terms of food, but definitely pricey for the amount of food you get. Overall a good experience though and a cozy little place.

I had high hopes for Two Hands and had been wanting to come ever since I saw someone post a beautiful instagram-worthy acai bowl. If anyone knows me, they know my love for acai bowls, and Two Hands just didn't deliver. The only reason I bumped it to a 3 is because I love the restaurant's decor and vibe. Relaxed atmosphere, tidy set up, but a little cramped. However, 2 stars for the acai bowl. First off, why does mine look different from all the pictures!! I wanted the neat rows of crushed coconut and chia seeds.. but as you can see.. I got coconut flakes, a bed of granola, and a bed of chia seeds. BOO Not only was presentation unfortunate, taste was just alright. It was very ICY.. which I've never experienced with an acai bowl. Usually they are similar to a smoothie consistency, maybe slightly thicker. This one was blue in color (also a first) and icy in texture. Not down Sorry, won't be coming back for another bowl, but maybeeee possibly something else on the menu
