Two Hands

Si quieres un lugar con comida deliciosa, ve a Two Hands. Es un café bonito y ellos sirven comida Australiana. Necesitas probar la comida y ver este lugar. Todos los precios son menos de diez dolares. También, el menú tiene muchas comidas. Este café está cerca de Soho y en Chinatown. Puedes tomar los B, D, J y 6 trenes. Puedes ir todos los días, los horarios es de las ocho de la mañana a seis de la tarde.
Las comidas son riquísimas y son buenas calidades para los precios. Hay muchas comidas para escoger. Recomiendo el pan tostado con aguacate. Pruébalo porque el pan es suave y el aguacate tiene in sabor fresco. Luego, tienes que probar la taza de acai. Este es frío pero es muy dulce y rico. Pídelo porque es muy sabroso. Estas dos comidas son muy populares en el café. A muchas personas les gusta comer aquí.
El servicio es fantástico. Los meseros son amables y atentos. Me gusta que la comida es rápida. Pero, el tiempo de espera es bastante largo a veces. No vayas durante los fines de semana. Tienes que ir con tus amigos y probar la comida. Finalmente, estoy muy feliz con el servicio.
Two Hands es bastante pequeño pero el ambiente es acogedor. El café tiene muchas decoraciones bonitas con sillas y imágenes. Los positivos de este café son: buen lugar para adultos, puedes sacar la comida, y muchos más. Pero, no tienen Wi-​Fi, y es ruidoso a veces por la música. Entonces, no es un buen lugar para niños.
Este lugar es perfecto para almorzar todos los días especialmente durante los fines de semana. ¡Todos en el café son asombrosos, me encanta! En conclusión, ve a con tus amigos o familia porque debes probar la comida.

This is an awesome spot for brunch. Unique food that tastes as good as it looks. Everything on the menu seems worthy of photos. Coffee is really good too. Make sure to make a reservation though, this place gets packed.

Was skeptical at first due to the young teenage/​blogger following but the food was Worth the hype. Great café if you have the time to wait for it and want a cheap delicious bite. Perfect casual brunch spot for 2 friends during a day of shopping. Would strongly not recommend for big parties, we waited 30 mins for a table for 2 because it’s very small. 5 stars food wise, very simple menu. We tried the acai bowl, avacado toast with egg on top, ricotta toast and a ham and cheese croissant. All delicious with my faves being the acai bowl (perfectly chilled and loaded with berries granola coconut and flax seeds) and the ricotta toast (topped with honey and fresh berries). Great lattes as well. $ 25 a person for my friend and I.

The ambience is decent but the latte is the best I have ever had. I love this place. The service is good, and I have heard good things about the food as well.

I would give this place 5 stars for the food, but the service was horrible! It was a bit crowded upon my arrival, but once seated and after placing our drink order, I had almost forgotten if I ordered anything at all because it took 15−20mins just to make a latte! When it finally came it wasn’t even hot! Like who wants a lukewarm latte?! It tasted as though it had been sitting behind the counter for a good minute. And when it came time to ordering the food, the situation was no different. A friend and I waited over 30mins for some damn avocado toast and corn fritters and when that came they didn’t even get one of the orders correct. We were afraid to ask them to remake it because who knows how long that would have taken. Plus there were only two servers. The place is relatively small but for that size of a crowd more people needed to be working. I would definitely try going back to this place to see if things change the second time around because the food was delicious; although cold. I just PRAY the service is better on a different day.

There’s not a lot of space but the wait wasn’t too bad. The host takes your number and texts you when your table is ready, which is always a nice touch.
There was really only one good person in all of the service (unfortunately didn’t get his name, he was just the guy in the beanie)… He was hosting, seated us, brought us our menus, AND took our orders. The only thing he didn’t do was bring us our check… It’s like he was working the entire café front. The other waiters and waitresses were mostly disengaged.
The food overall was pretty good. The chefs are doing alright. I split the avo toast, ricotta toast, and acai bowl with my friend. The avo toast was sadly disappointing. It was very average, nothing too special. I appreciate the pepper flakes but something was missing. The ricotta toast was light, sweet, and picture perfect. My friend was hesitant about trying the ricotta toast but it ended up being her favorite of the 3! The acai bowl was refreshing and the toppings were on point.

i went with my friend and we each ordered a drink and a dish.
My friend ordered the avocado toast and the hot chocolate.
My friend liked the avocado toast but the pepper flakes were too much she said.
The hot chocolate was really good though as my friend and I said it wasn’t too sweet.
As for me, I ordered the cold brew which I thought was fantastic.
I also ordered the ham and egg crossaint which I thought was good but was too expensive for what I got.
The interior is difinitely instagram worthy~

As it is with most things, my brunch mantra is something along the lines of «do it for the insta, or don’t do it at all». Naturally, being the most ‘grammable brunch spot in NYC, Two Hands has been on my list of places to check out for a while.
And everything was pretty much perfect — unless you’re just grabbing coffee to go, be prepared for a pretty long wait. Once you’re in; however, waitstaff are super friendly, and service is as efficient as it can be in a tiny café. Even still, waiting for food isn’t the worst in such an aesthetically pleasing café.
We tried a bunch of their drinks — the flat white is ON point. This was also my first experience with matcha, so I didn’t really know what to expect, but I didn’t hate it. I did, however, get the idea that it’s an acquired taste, so stay tuned. The food was equally good. I absolutely loved the avo toast — the lemon and red pepper flakes added a lot to the flavor. Next time I’ll have to try it with an egg, as well. The açai bowl was also incredible — but be warned, you’ll have to floss after you eat it!
Ultimately, the only reason I hesitated to give Two Hands a five-​star rating was the price — they’re good, and they know it, and they charge you exorbitantly for it. Even still, this place is worth the hype, and I can’t wait to check out some of the other notorious brunch places in the city.

I’ve been meaning to make the trip downtown to visit Two Hands for over a year now after drooling over pictures of the food on my instagram feed, and I was certainly not disappointed. Although there was an hour long wait and the café was very packed, the servers were really sweet and helpful.
I ordered avo toast with an egg sunny side up, a cappuccino and shared a slice of banana bread. The food came relatively quickly and everything was delicious. I also didn’t feel morbidly obese leaving the brunch spot like I would after eating at other places! Will definitely be back!

I got the avocado toast with a sunny side egg (extra $ 3), and it was so good! You get a bunch of different flavors, from the lemon to the sweetness of the avocado and then the spicy red pepper flakes, but it’s such a good combination. The portion of the toast was also perfect, not too much or too little, perfect for one person.
The acai bowl is also really good, I honestly didn’t think I would’ve liked it because it seemed so healthy. The smoothie was really cold and it had banana flavor in it which was good, and mixed with the nuts and the berries.
I definitely will be coming back, I’m already craving the avocado toast again.

This Australian café is sleek, modern, with a beautiful interior that’s artfully decorated and furnished. Fancier than I was planning for… classy yet laid back. Definitely out of place in Chinatown… but perhaps that’s a conversation for another day.
We came at 11AM on a Saturday and surprisingly only waited about 5 minutes. By the time we were done though, there was a decent sized crowd waiting outside.
Flat whites were on point. Get one … or two… it took most of my willpower not to order several more immediately.
Menu was a bit hard to read, but had plenty to offer. One side was just drinks/​smoothies, while the other consisted of sandwiches/​salads/​and some typical brunch fare. Menu designated when items were gluten-​free. Got the acai bowl and my friend got the bacon and egg sambo, which he enjoyed. The acai bowl wasn’t too sweet, which I preferred, and surprisingly filled me up. The avo toast though looked incredible (I mean, it’s avocado. you really can’t go wrong) and will definitely be what I grab next time I’m here.
Service was good. Despite the line building outside, we were never rushed. In fact, even after we finished our meal and paid, they gave us a new pitcher of water as if to say, ‘hey– stay a while.’ Left full, happy, relaxed, and caffeinated without breaking the bank. Will be back!

A great brunch place to eat and catch up with friends! My friend and I waited about 30mins to be seated which wasn’t as bad because we expected a longer wait since there were a group of people before us. The place is not that big but it was nicely decorated.
The food was delicious and healthy! I had the Avo Toast, a side of smoked salmon and a cup of hot latte. It was one of the best toast I had. I’m not even kidding! The toast was filled with flavors. It was spread in crushed avocado and seasoning which gave off a spicy taste to the bread. The portion was enough for me to eat and not have leftovers. I thought the side of smoked salmon that I ordered will only be the most two pieces, but surprisingly it was a generous amount.
Overall, I really like this place and I think if you are looking for a brunch place (or just a place to grab food on the go) you should definitely try this out! I can’t wait to go back and try more food from their menu!

I had been told a number of times to get to this place and I’m so glad I did. It is definitely a place that I would love to frequent if I lived in the area.
It has the whole package. The ATMOSPHERE is really great. Just super chill, a lot of natural light and very inviting/​trendy. With a lot of cool design (see pics)
The SERVICE was top notch. Servers were super friendly and helpful, especially for a first timer. They recommended their favorite dishes and even helped me decide between a couple.
FOOD was great. I was just in the mood for some «normal» breakfast so I got their breakfast croissant sandwich and loved it. Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but I’d go back and get it again! Next time I’m here I’ll probably be a little more adventurous though and get something out of the box. It’s a smaller menu but some of the stuff I saw coming out to other tables looked delicious!
You should definitely check this place out. I’ll be back! And I’ll let you know how the next visit goes.

New fav brunch place! Went here with my best friend and we shared everything. We loved everything we ordered — every single plate was delicious. We both ordered chai lattes and shared the avocado toast with an overeasy egg on top, the ricotta toast with honey and berries, the ham and Gruyère croissant and the acai bowl. Honestly, no complaints about any of them, I loved every single one. It was very much worth the hype. Tip though — make sure you get there early or make a reservation if you can because it gets pretty crowded and it’s trending right now so you may have to wait awhile.
The inside is adorable, with string lights and little cute clouds hanging from the ceiling — such a great photogenic place. The food is also Instagram worthy so you’ll def get a lot of pics here if that’s what you’re into. I recommend all 4 dishes if you are going with another person to share so you can try them all.
Would love to go back again to try the bacon and egg roll and also the smoothies and an iced coffee. Can’t wait!

This is the perfect location to feel healthy again after munching all the fatty foods on christmas. I ordered the acai bowl and it was so refreshing and healthy. I did not know what half of the ingredients was — bad diet habits, but I really love the plating and just how good it all tasted! Would definitely recommend for a brunch date or a quick meet up with an old friend.

Came here on a rainy Wednesday after hearing about this place nonstop for the past couple of months. I loved the ambience and the music – felt romantic in some sense but still so chill and hip.
I was excited to try the acai bowl and expected my second time at trying an acai bowl to be just as sweet and awesome as my first at a café near NYU Langone. Also ordered the Little Italy sandwich.
However, the acai bowl was beyond my expectations and tasted really bitter-​added sugar from the box on the table (that was really meant for coffee and latte) before being able to continue eating it. There were too many nuts in the bowl and not enough fruit, and you could barely taste the flavor of the yogurt. Overall was quite disappointed.
The Little Italy sandwich was really good and had some avocado, mozzarella, tomato, and kale leaves. The side salad was really salty and savoring, but the bread was a bit burnt and too hard. Still definitely preferred this over the acai bowl.
This was another place where the aesthetics and photos of the food/​drinks won over the actual taste of the items. However, the staff and environment is a ⁵⁄₅.

I had been following Two Hands on Instagram for the longest time. It wasn’t until this past visit to New York that I finally said I must experience first hand what I’ve been seeing in pictures. This place nestled away in Little Italy was super trendy and intimate for a time with friends or even your significant other. The coffee was brewed well and brought me back to my favorite local coffee shop in Miami (Panther Coffee). As I didn’t get a chance to try the food, I did peek over at other plates and knew from just looking that the dish would be delicious. Aside from my cappuccino which had a lovely heart design, I did get a chance to test my friends fresh juice which consisted of red beets, ginger, carrot and apple. This place will work for you whether you’re a caffeine freak or juice junkie.

Searching for the perfect place to take my sister, my friend suggested Two Hands. The place is incredibly cute. The décor is so simple, but the clouds hanging from the ceiling are so adorable.
I had Avo Toast, and my sister had Corn Fritters. Was it the best Avo toast I’ve ever had? No, but it was pretty darn good! The avocado portion was generous, and for $ 7 it’s a steal. My sister really liked her corn fritters as well! The people sitting next to us saw her entrée and were regretting not having ordered the corn fritters!
We ordered two lattes, the Avo toast, and the corn fritters. The entire meal came out to $ 30. Service was extremely friendly and prompt!
In my quest to convince my sister to move to New York, I think I made a good move by bringing her here.

As a coffee and acai bowl lover, I should’ve came here a long time ago. But every time I pass by Two Hands, I always get discouraged by the line out the door. I finally decided I’ll do the wait with my best friend and we waited for a good ten minutes across the street until we were seated. This place is packed! The service was very rushed and it shows when the waitress rushes you with the menu or takes the plates/​bowls as soon as you’re done.
I had the acai bowl and it was picture perfect and tasted great. The consistency was exactly how it should be (not watery at all) and the right amount of sweetness. My friend had the avocado toast and it was a little tough to eat. My flat white took a while to get to me. I couldn’t help but notice that the table next to us got their drinks immediately even though they arrived later. My coffee didn’t have the lovely latte art I expected but it was still a great cup of coffee.
Overall, cute café but I feel like the crowd and the rushed service didn’t allow me to enjoy it fully. My rating for Two Hands is in the middle of a ¾. I’ll give Two Hands another try in the early morning again and hopefully have a better experience.

Everything about this place is seriously so photogenic: the décor, the food, the ambiance, the staff! The great thing is that the food is not only photogenic, but is really healthy and delicious to boot. I love the whole relaxed and friendly vibe in here exuded by the owners whose website mantra is «good food by good dudes». I can attest that that statement is 100% true. It would also be accurate to say «good looking food by good looking dudes» ;]
I love how generous they are with all the dishes on the menu that feature avocados. They must go through thousands of avocados every day; it’s a mystery how they can acquire and store such a large amount of simultaneously perfectly ripe avocados! Someone must have the Midas touch with avocados at Two Hands, which is a trait that I highly covet.
The avocado toast is obviously a must (especially with fried egg and roasted tomato). The corn fritters was our waiter’s favorite, and it was delicious. I loved the marriage of flavors and textures in this dish, and of course everything tastes infinitely better when avocados are delicately perched atop. The acai bowls are delicious, but make sure you’re eating with someone who isn’t afraid to tell you that you have little seeds in the nooks and crannies of your teeth. That’s the mark of a good friend.
expect at least a 30 min wait on the weekends

The food and service at this Aussie café did not live up to its thought-​out interior design.
Two co-​workers and I trekked down to SoHo to try this place for lunch since this place had been on their radar for a while. I was taken aback by the lay of the place — it was designed like a showroom, with fake clouds covering the ceiling and paintings of pineapples garnishing the walls. It was a masterpiece aesthetically.
The menu seemed pleasing enough at first glance, especially the drink menu. I was extremely satisfied with their smoothie selection and when the smoothie came out it was what I imagined it would be– smooth, well-​blended and delicious. My only quip with my drink was the paper straw it came with — although its stripe pattern is fashionable, its material is not plausible at all. Who decided making straws out of paper was a good idea?!
My satisfaction mostly starts and ends with the drinks, since my drink was done before we even ordered. The waiters here had no regard for time. Despite several attempts to grab their attention, we did not order food until at least 10 minutes after this.
Each of us had trouble deciding what we wanted, but upon further inspection, we realized something: how simplistic the menu really was. As one colleague put it: «Put pepper flakes and olive oil on anything and you have half the cafes in New York.» Not to say that food wasn’t good — all of us devoured our meal happily. It just wasn’t anything unusual or worth an arduous trek.
The prices weren’t ridiculous, but again, these were all dishes I could make at home (avocado toast, scrambled eggs, etc.) I enjoyed my meal, especially the smoothie, but I don’t think I would actively seek it out again.

L’ambiance est sympa même si l’on peut se sentir assez oppressé du fait que les tables soient très rapprochées l’une des autres.
La décoration avec les murs en briques, les lampions qui pendent créent une ambiance cosy. Mais c’est vraiment la seule chose qui sauve l’endroit.
Nous avons mis beaucoup de temps à être servis. Je né pensais pas que faire deux smoothies prenait plus de 45 minutes… Cependant, ils étaient bons bien que celui de mon ami un peu trop dilué à l’eau.
J’ai commandé un baked egg roll au Bacon et je né m’attendais pas à ce que j’ai eu. Honnêtement le goût y était. C’était très bon mais même moi qui n’englouti pas des grosses quantités je suis restée bien sur ma faim!!! Le roll né fait même pas la taille d’une paume de main, sûrement moins de 5 cm de diamètre et ça pour une somme que je né trouve absolument pas justifiée!
Les serveurs sont très désagréables. On nous a demandé de nous dépêcher de payer pour que d’autres personnes puissent prendre notre place. Je comprends qu’il y est de l’attente mais de la à pousser les gens dehors.

L’adresse que l’on découvre tous par instagram et qu’on a hâte de tester car oui, le lieu est super photogénique.
Et ben, je suis assez déçue par l’endroit.
Je n’ai pas vu le personnel australien souriant comme on peut le voir sur leur compte, un des propriétaires australiens tire la gueule comme pas possible, on se sent oppressé (quand les autres clients attendent collé à votre table) et les prix sont justes abusés. Elle est où l’ambiance relax prôné ?
Le acai bowl (9 $) était de loin l’élément qui pourrait être décent niveau rapport qualité/​prix. L’acai c’est le «power food» du moment avec ses vertues antioxydant etc, ils le font en purée accompagné de quelques graines et fruits. En gros c’est comme si vous versiez du smoothie fruits rouges dans un bol et vous ajoutez quelques noix, graines et fruits. Mais l’acai né se trouve pas à tous les coins de rue et encore moins en France alors on tente.
Le toast avocat est LE produit phare du coffee shop. Mais sérieusement 7 $? Je né trouve pas en quoi il est différent de ce que l’on peut faire chez soi. Le prix est abusé pour un avocat salé/​poivré écrasé sur un toast.
Les boissons arrivent dans des pots avec un paille en carton coloré, les smoothies sont beaucoup trop dilués dans l’eau et les jus sont sans intérêts surtout à 6 $ avec pleins de glaçons.
Le cappucino (outback cap) devait venir avec un biscuit australien mais ils n’en avait plus (et vous pensez pas à baisser le prix ?).
Le croissant et pain au chocolat sont en revanche très bons et sont semblables à ceux qu’on trouve en France.
Ils né mettent pas d’information concernant leur cookies: je me retrouve donc avec un cookie pépites de chocolat romarin (original mais pas mauvais) et un cookie tout chocolat et piment (infecte).
Des prix excessivement élevés, j’en suis sortie avec une note assez salé (90 $ pour 4 sans tips) et le ventre pas tellement rempli.
L’endroit est parfait pour être vu (on était assis à côté d’une actrice américaine) et pour pouvoir faire une photo instagram. Ils ont récemment changé leur formule pour un service complet à table (moi je pense que ça va augmenter l’addition plus qu’autre chose).
