we were looking for a brunch/lunch place and online search suggested Two Hands, and online reviews were positive so we decided to check it out We had a reservation and showed up at that time and were seated immediately. We ordered the avocado toast, the big brekky and a hot chocolate. The food came very fast and service was decent. The avocado toast was a good size and had good flavor. The toast was really nice and tasted good quality and was nicely toasted. The big brekky was not as big as I would expect but was decent in terms of size and flavor. the toast also came with the brekky and that was good, and we had substituted halloumi for the hash browns and the halloumi was good overall fast service and good quality food. the avo toast was good in portion size and flavor; the big brekky was not big but good in flavor read more

Two Hands - menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Here is our dinner dine in experience: We are choosing 3 stars because we have heard lots of things about this restaurant but expectations fell short : with the slightly bland hummus but fresh carrots on the crudites, pork belly croquette is bacon inside not the biggest fan BUT the lemon aioli sauce WAS DELICIOUS. Paired well with EVERYTHINGG. Tandoori chicken schnitzel and farmer harissa salad was both good in its own way, crispy chicken clean oil to elements of mediterranean spices, bestie loved that mango chutney and fresh cucumbers on top of the schnitzel. I had the harissa lentil salad, nothing to rave on but that Lemon aioli from the pork belly croquette pairing, was so good on everythinggggg i repeat! more than the green sauce that the salad came with. The dessert mascarpone on the banana walnut was my personal fav with coffee subtle flavor and toffee bits but bestie enjoyed the bread more than I, the edges were kinda dry. Bathroom downstairs and its clean i like paper towels.But the service staffs were friendly and very attentive. read more

Two Hands is like that fancy brunch place your friend keeps telling you to check out, except not as pretentious. They've got great espresso drinks and an interesting menu with lots of fun ingredients. I got their soba noodle bowl and really enjoyed the mix of spicy chili sauce, cold noodles, warm mushrooms, jammy eggs, and tangy pickled veggies. What a medley, and it worked well for a filling, delicious lunch. Great option for a casual breakfast or lunch in a laid back environment! read more

I came to Two Hands Tribeca for lunch and overall had a good experience. When we arrived, we had to wait a few minutes for our table to be set up, but once it was ready we were seated quickly. The restaurant is fairly small, so be prepared for a tight squeeze and to be sitting quite close to the people around you. The staff brought water to the table right away, and I ordered the Brassicas Bowl with chicken along with their special orange latte. The food arrived relatively quickly, although surprisingly the drinks took longer than the meal. The chicken was definitely the highlight of the dish. It was well-marinated, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the boiled egg on top, though I personally would have preferred it a little runnier because it was closer to hard-boiled. The hummus was a great addition and paired really well with the chicken. The Brussels sprouts were good but could have used a bit more seasoning or flavor. The orange latte was enjoyable, but I didn't get much of the orange flavor and found it to be more of a standard latte. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff kindly brought out a slice of banana bread for us. It was absolutely delicious, so much so that I asked for the recipe. Our server said she would get it for me, but after about 15 minutes she never returned. We then asked another staff member, who brushed off the request. If it weren't possible to give teh recipe I would completely understand, but the fact that we were kept waiting with the expectation of the recipe being given. After that, we decided to leave. Despite the disappointing ending, the food was very good, especially the chicken and banana bread, and the staff was otherwise friendly. The sour ending makes me debate coming back. read more

I've been here twice recently, and both times were great! The restaurant isn't big, but the location is good and everyone's friendly. I had a reservation both times and we were seated pretty quickly. Bonus points for them seating us quickly anyway when one of the reservations got lost! The vibe is casual and relaxed, as is the crowd. The food came quickly, and was delicious. It's not a place you'd go for a long lunch, but definitely recommend for someplace relaxed, quick, and with healthy options. read more

This updated review is on just dinner and I was really happy with it. The burrata toast is amazing and the eggplants on the toast are so delish. Toast is a bit hard though. The fish (branzino) was also perfect, with a crispy skin and delightful veggies with a nice crunch and sprinkle of dill. The dessert (I got the brownie) was a nice dark chocolate in flavor but kinda hard and difficult to eat. Overall, I don't need to come back for brunch but I'd come for a dinner! read more

I've been to the Nashville two hands location and absolutely loved everything about it, so I had to come back while in New York! Though I thought the Nashville interior was prettier, this space was quite nice too and had a little outdoor patio as well. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we were able to get a table for 3 after about a 20 min wait. At past visits I've gotten the harissa chicken bowl and curry, so I tried the açaí bowl this time and it was so delicious! I also loved the banana espresso martini, and the banana bread with espresso mascarpone is a must order every time. My cousins loved the latte, chicken bowl, and breakfast burrito. Two Hands has such a well balanced cafe vibe and menu with fresh ingredients and unique twists!! read more

Went for a late brunch on a Sunday afternoon with a large group and had a good experience. Had the Burger which was solid.

Very friendly staff in a comfortable, casual environment. read more

Looking for brunch? Two Hands is a solid spot! It's a cute Australian cafe with a good variety of aesthetic food and drink options. I came with a friend at Wednesday afternoon, and got seated right away! We both agreed that the breakfast burrito was phenomenal, and the hash brown with the scrambled eggs was the highlight of the meal. I also really enjoyed the banana espresso martini! Definitely come check this place out if you want a cute brunch with friends! read more

This was my second time at Two Hands, which has a lovely casual atmosphere. I ordered the harissa chicken bowl, which features a nice mix of quality ingredients including flavorful shredded harissa chicken, lentils, greens, sweet potato, crunchy veggies, and seeds. It felt like a well-balanced meal full of greens, protein, and healthy carbs. However, the bowl was unfortunately weighed down by a copious amount of chili oil (and maybe) harissa dressing layered throughout. The excess oil overpowered the other flavors with too much spice and ruined the taste of the dish for me, as well as slightly upsetting my stomach. I would order this again on another visit, but I'd definitely ask for the chili oil and harissa dressing on the side. While I think this is a solid brunch option that can please many different palates, I won't be rushing back. That said, the prices are reasonable and it is a plus that the harissa chicken bowl is available during dinner hours as well. read more

I've had Two Hands bookmarked for a while and finally make it for brunch. The cafe was cute and relatively busy (definitely make a reservation on the weekend). I had Zoe's Marker Plate and a Latte both were delicious! Will be back to try and the espresso martinis next time! read more

I recently stopped by Two Hands in Tribeca for a late morning bite, and I have to say, it was a pretty delightful experience overall. First off, the ambiance wise, it's cozy, bright, and has that perfect mix of modern and rustic vibes that makes it feel like a hidden gem. We got seated right away at 11:30 AM, but it got packed quickly after. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick, which made the experience even more enjoyable. However, I do have to mention the tiny cups for water, they're cute but definitely not practical if you're thirsty (just something to note if you're a big water drinker like me!). Now, on to food: * Harissa Chicken Bowl ($20): My friend loved this. She said the flavors were bold and vibrant, with just the right amount of spice. If you're a fan of harissa, this is a must try! * Added Halloumi ($7): it was grilled perfectly with a nice balance of crispy on the outside and soft inside. A great addition to the bowl * Henry's Chicken Sandwich ($18): This was delicious! The slaw on the side was truly the highlight for me. It was tangy and crunchy, and idk how to explain the flavor, but it honestly paired so well with the crispy chicken. I couldve eaten a whole bowl of that slaw! * Chili Fries ($9): These were tasty, though I would have loved to see a cool dipping sauce to go with them. The fries themselves were perfectly thin and crispy, so no complaints there * Banana Bread ($13): we shared this and presentation was pretty, but I wasn't a huge fan of the texture of bread. it was a bit too dense and dry for my taste. I was hoping for something more moist and fluffy. the espresso cream on the banana bread was bitter at times, which was a bit of a letdown after having such a nice start to the meal. I'd pass on this Overall, I had a great time at Two Hands. It's the kind of place you go for a casual yet stylish meal with a fun, upbeat vibe. Would definitely come back, especially for the chicken sandwich and slaw! read more

The first time I visited a Two Hands was at a different location where I didn't really enjoyed the food I had. But this time at this specific Two Hands, I end up liking the food a lot. The ambiance and the service was just so much better at this location. I came with a group of 4 other people where we all got different brunch items. I got the breakfast burrito which I thought was really good. The vibes were also great and the staff that took care of us was really attentive and even gave us a complimentary banana bread which was so so sweet of him. read more

What a great find! A colleague recommend Two Hands and they were spot on. This is a great lunch spot, but get there early as it gets busy. We had: - Clam Special - fantastic! It's just clams in a spicy sweet sauce. They give you sour dough toast to soak up the sauce. - Chicken Bowl - very good - Seasonal Leaf Salad - tasty We will definitely come back! read more

My friend suggested we come here for lunch. She had already been prior. It was a nice day so we opted to seat outside which was oddly cooler than the inside on a summer day. I got the boozy lavender lemonade, and I had them add more sweetener because it's very tart. I got the henry's chicken sandwich and she got the two hander burger. I am not a fan of chicken salad so I was really surprised that I enjoyed the chicken sandwich. I ordered due to the allure of the pistachios which I love. The chicken pieces aren't the traditional mashed up or small bits of chicken. It's clearly chicken breast in large chunks. The mango chutney paired very well. I didn't eat mine as a sandwich, I just dumped into the plate and ate it like a salad with the bread on the side. My friend enjoyed her burger from the 1st visit so she got it again. I didn't taste it but the fries were really good. We share the watermelon salad which was very large and good for 2 to share. At the of the meal, I got the lavender matcha and my friend got a regular latte. FYI the latte was small. It came in a cup but it was mostly foam/froth at the top, not much latte for your money. The matcha tho was a good amount. read more

We went there because it was a restaurant recommended by a famous YouTuber. It was a bit disappointing that the dish we wanted wasn't available, but the alternative we ordered was still good. The interior was quite spacious, and all the food felt healthy, so I'd recommend it. We went for a late lunch, but the dessert menu also looked really good, and I'd definitely like to try it next time. read more

I came here twice within this last month and I don't think I could do it again. The first time I came by myself, and it was so hot in there. When I asked if there could be some more AC going on, the server told us it was broken. TWO WHOLE WEEKS LATER I brought my mother and we were both SWELTERING in there. the food and service is amazing, but the lack of AC made it unbearable. i know it's only a 1 hr time limit to sit there and THANK GOD CUZ I COULDN'T TAKE IT. DO NOT COME HERE IN THE SUMMER. read more

We always pass Two Hands, but recently had the perfect excuse to swing by for dinner. We came on a Tuesday, which happens to be the night they have a delicious special: 1 cocktail + Burger and Fries for $23 (you could do a beer+burger for $18). In addition to the burger and fries we shared, we also got a side of salmon and side of halloumi. We thought the burger+fries+cocktail was a great deal. Cocktail was delicious, as was the burger and the fries perfectly salted. I was a bit more indifferent to the salmon and halloumi. Service was friendly and quick. We would definitely return on a Tuesday for the burger special! read more

Great for a quick semi/healthy lunch with good prices. The chili fries were insane, must order.

Friendly and fast service. Delicious and unique chicken salad sandwich. I would stop again.

Very solid brunch. It looks like this one of a couple of locations in NYC and they're in a handful of other cities too. Fresh, scratch cooking that's very flavorful. I had the breakfast burrito and it was perfection. The coffee was also great. The vibe was pretty typical for a brunch type of place, and we liked it. I'm very glad we checked this place our during our recent trip to NYC. Would be great to have a spot like this in Detroit (wink wink....nudge nudge). read more

Yes, you need "Two Hands" to hold @twohandsrestaurant Chicken Schnitzel and their Two Hander Burger. Who knew one of the best chicken schnitzels came from an Australian restaurant? The service was amazing too! With multiple locations you are always covered to find a @twohandsrestaurant for a date night, healthy lunch or a comfort dinner with friends. Insta: @thehungrysw Chicken schnitzel roll (sesame-crusted chicken schnitzel, herbed yogurt, parmesan, mustard, frisée on a pretzel roll) Two hander burger (double smash patty, american cheese, shaved lettuce, sweet onions, b&b pickles, kewpie sauce on a seeded bun, served with fries) B.E.K. roll w/ hash brown (grilled bacon, marinated kale, fried egg, smoky tomato relish, ken soft potato bun) read more

This location is by far by favorite Two Hands spot. The other ones are tight quarters and is also a wait or rush to leave. This location has more seating and a full bar seating. The ambiance is so cozy and refined. The food is just as gorgeous. So this is what do order. Get the Seasonal Scramble with hash brown side. A perfectly crispy sourdough with the most delicious eggplant and tomato jam on top covered with chili oil. It is so delightful. The hash brown is a great side however can i say the Austin Two Hands has the best hash brown side. They have a great bloody mary. They have an incredible hot sauce that I is bottled and sold as well. read more

My friend and I went to Two Hands -- She was already familiar with the place, but it was new to me. Inside was loud, but the outside seating was quiet and calm inside their street side covered space. I asked a server for her recommendation of salad -- and she said the brassicas was the way to go -- with salmon. It was perfect, fresh, the right size, and tasty. I also ordered the herb harmony tea which paired well and was soothing. Because it was quiet, we were able to spend hours talking and relaxing. I would heartily recommend this location. read more

I haven't been to many Australian-focused restaurants in my life (unless Outback counts? Lol), but if Two Hands is a reflection of what the cuisine is like, I am 100% behind it! I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and decided to make a reservation for brunch on the weekend. It was busy as expected, but we were seated quickly. Loved the interior design, wooden tables with white brick walls and greenery throughout. Definitely a "home grown" vibe which is what they tout on their website. The menu is an eclectic mix of proteins and veggies and is bound to have something for everyone. Clean, simple ingredients without too much embellishment. I've tried pretty much everything over my last three visits and these are my favorites: Banana Walnut Bread - This is easily the most delicious and notable item on the menu in my opinion and it's not even a main dish. While the banana bread itself is moist and decadent, it's the espresso mascarpone and honey drizzle that absolutely take this one over the top. I could probably eat two or three of these - even though it's a decent sized portion. You MUST get this if you come here! Tomato Toast - Classic example of simple and high quality ingredients speaking for themselves. A super thick slice of toasted sourdough with cheesy spread is topped with a runny poached egg, tomato relish and prosciutto. Totally balanced and totally scrumptious. The presentation is impeccable too Steak & Egg - Standard steak and eggs, but the real star of the dish is their uber crispy hash and tangy anchovy dressing. The greens go well and it's not too heavy, but definitely filling Lemon Poppyseed Waffle - This is exactly as it sounds. Imagine a lemon poppyseed muffin pressed into waffle form with a sweet mascarpone cream, strawberries and syrup. I thought it was pretty good (and I love lemon poppyseed), but for me, it didn't beat the Banana Walnut Bread Salmon Quinoa Bowl - Colorful! One of the pricier options on the menu ($25), but comes with very fresh ingredients, lots of veggies and solid flavors. I love that you can add a wide range of sides or extras to your meal ranging from just an egg or hash brown to whole salmon filets or steaks (5 oz), depending on how hungry you are Two Hands gets full marks on taste and execution from me. BTW the service was so nice, I almost forgot to mention, the only reason I even tried the Banana Walnut Bread my first time there was because I saw another table getting it and asked my server about it. So he just brought it to me for free LOL. What a guy! Looking forward to coming back!! read more

This has become one of my favorite restaurants for brunch. All of the food is so good and a plus that it is healthy! The vibe very bright, clean and has a beach house vibe. It was busy, but the staff were very attentive. We enjoyed everything we had. This included the steak and eggs, chicken bowl, lemon poppyseed waffle, crispy chili fries and green mango smoothie. My favorite was the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked really well, but there was a really crispy hash brown nest and the dressing on the salad was surprisingly very good! The crispy chili fries were a bit bland and oily. These were fries that were drizzled with chili oil and red pepper. The portions are a nice size and the prices are fair. read more
