Second time at Two Hands and I can say the hype is correct. I love this place! They have great coffee, amazing food, and an awesome patio area (dog friendly!!) Have been both time on a Saturday morning with no reservations. Definitely reserve if possible, but my wait for two (with dogs) has been around 40mins. We ordered a cortado, cappuccino, almond muffin, hash brown, and harissa chicken bowel read more

Came here for lunch with a coworker and I was glad we made reservations in advance as it was quite busy. Lunchtime on Friday is a popular time in this area. I ordered the salmon quinoa bowl per the waiters recommendation and loved it. My colleague got the burger and also enjoyed his meal. Lots of nice healthy options which I appreciated. The location is also great for walking around and doing a little shopping. I will definitely be back. read more

TLDR: do not come for the service! If you're too broke to tip, this is the perfect place for you! The food is scrumpiddlyumptious, but the service has been consistently SUSPECT. My most recent visit on Valentine's Day, our server only checked on us to take our order (no greeting/drink order)...and that was it! We had to ask for salt and then wave her over to ask for the bill while she was talking to another server; unbusy. We would make eye contact and she still wouldn't check on us, but would rather just chit chat with another server in front of us ... SEE IMAGE A previous visit, our server fully paid out an older rich couple who got sat after us before even taking our order. yes, I still tipped 20% bcus I have morals. Don't come here for the service, the food is FIRE! However after trying many other brunch places in Austin that seem to check both boxes easily, I will be frequenting other spots now .. read more

Service was excellent, friendly and very helpful. Good full of flavor and seasoning was amazing! The banana bread was delicious, maple flavor topping made it a perfect dessert for later on. The strawberry matcha was so satisfying that it made me want more. You won't be disappointed, many breakfast items are available until 5pm, you must give it a try! read more

I am not if it is because it is not my style but I had higher expectations in the food. Be ready to experience different food if you come here but food that feels fresh. The service was alright. If you want separate check, note that this place doesn't really do that... read more

Um yessss loved this lunch so much! We made a reservation for a Sunday at noon and both ended up ordering lunch entrees since we had breakfast very early in the morning. I got the salmon bowl and my fiance got the burger and fries. Our service was quick and friendly despite the place being nonstop packed. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and my fiance had a juice. We both loved our meals. My salmon bowl was amazing and I can't wait to go back and get it again. The slightly dippy egg was perfect and I loved the hummus on the bottom. Only complaint about this place is that there are two single stall bathrooms for the whole restaurant. We each waited in line for 10+ minutes just to use the restroom before leaving. read more

We didn't have a reservation but really wanted to try the place. We got there early. They told us they could seat us but we had to be out by a specific time. Plenty of time!!! We had the lemon poppyseed waffle (yummy and fresh), brekky muffuletta (delicious) breakfast burrito (ok) and smoked salmon toast (yummy). Serves was great and friendly! Clean cute place. read more

I just ordered a hot mocha at the window. Not a bad coffee but kinda mid for $8. Nice people tho

I really love the food and ambiance of Two Hands. I had my baby with (puppy) so we sat outside. I enjoy their fresh ingredients and offerings. There's a variety of things on the menu to find something that you like. I think this place is great for brunch, dates and big groups. They have a tasting menu for big groups I saw on IG so I definitely would love to plan an event here. I absolutely enjoyed their salmon quinoa bowl! The service was nice and friendly. This is definitely one of my go to spots in South Congress! read more

Just came by for a to-go drink order and pretty impressed with their matcha. Friendly barista took my order and wait wasn't too long. Would like to come in and try more things here - food looks very good as well. Matcha was with honey, cinnamon and oat milk. It was like a sweet treat drink - will try unsweetened next time to compare. Was able to park on the side of Congress during a weekday pretty easily and it's a good spot if you are walking around shopping. read more

Two Hands - Matcha Latte with cinnamon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food tasted really good, but overpriced for the quantities... the one item we didn't like which ruined our meal was their signature Two Hands hash brown, which tasted like it was deep fried in old oils past their expiration date. It gave my girlfriend a massive stomach ache which lasted all day. read more

Two Hands has become one of my new favorite dinner spots! I've walked by during brunch hours many times, but when I saw they started offering a pre-fixed dinner menu for $45, I had to try it. I booked a reservation and have been back multiple times since. The three-course meal is a lot of food--perfect for sharing or taking leftovers. The burrata with roti was our favorite starter; the flavor was incredible. For the mains, I've tried the pesto pasta, sweet potato curry, and pan-roasted half chicken. All were excellent, but the half chicken was my favorite--hearty and generously portioned. The pesto pasta was light and ideal for a date or social setting, while the curry was warm (though I personally prefer spicier curries). Dessert was a highlight. The coconut and key lime pavlova is an absolute must--so refreshing! The banana walnut bread, rocked, with its dense texture and espresso mascarpone icing,. The miso brownie was great as well but a little less of the 'wow factor'. (But I'd totally order again!) Cocktail-wise, "Like Lollies" is one of my favorite cocktails in all of Austin. The mezcal and guava combo, topped with a little flower, was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, with just the right amount of smokiness. I could sip on these all day! On my first visit, there was live music on a Saturday evening, which added a lovely touch. The service has consistently been kind and attentive, and the overall ambiance is a hidden gem. It's cozy, with nice lighting, great cocktails, and a quiet atmosphere perfect for conversation. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Popped in on a Sunday for a pre-dinner cocktail. Pleasantly surprised to hear that they had a Sunday Happy Hour from 4:00pm - 6:00pm. Went for their Classic Cocktail offering of a dirty martini (with gin, of course). Was great and got to try a new to me gin (Fords). Friendly bartender, nice ambiance, and fun music. Will try to check out their food offerings next time I'm in town. read more

Stopped here for breakfast before exploring SOCO and let me tell you...the banana bread was the BEST I ever had! The espresso mascarpone on top was chef's kiss!! Or server said we had to get it and he was sooo right! He gave us some other recommendations and we ended up getting the breakfast burrito and chicken sandwich, also so good! Our server was attentive and friendly, the decor inside was bright and beautiful. Definitely recommend! read more

The food was incredible!!! I'd give that alone 5 stars. The issue is parking... See below. I got the mushroom soba noodle bowl, which was awesome. I was worried the cold noodles would be too cold, but the warm mushrooms heated the noodles well. I added avocado, which was a half of an avocado, and it perfectly complemented the rest of the bowl. But the best thing I ate was the crispy brussel sprouts. I was nervous what pickled currants would taste like, but I am so glad I left them on. Their sweetness and tanginess blended perfectly with the saltiness of the sprouts, dressing, and cheese. The parking is ridiculous, though. My GPS told me to turn into a parking lot, so I was relieved thinking there was parking. The lot turned out to be a garage directly next to Two Hands, but thankfully I didn't listen to my GPS. The restaurant doesn't validate, and the waitress told us it cost $60 to park there?! Two Hands is on South Congress, and the street and its surroundings are all paid, chaotic parking. Even if you're willing to pay, there might not be ample parking for many blocks. If the restaurant validated/had its own lot, I'd want to go all the time. read more

I only came for coffee but this location is perfect! The vibes inside is classy but the menu says comfort. Will definitely d back to try and review their brunch options. Speaking on the coffee, I personally tonight it was average, wait was a little long, especially on a Saturday. Price was average, parking can be complicated and for coffee you order outside. read more

Two Hands - Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Two hands food is hands down the healthiest and tastiest food that a cafe can offer. Their chilli oil fries are so crisp that once you start eating those you will most positively forget about rest of your order. But then you get hit in the face by the lip smacking Harrisa bowl. Don't even get me started on the Henry's sandwich which comes with a broccoli slaw pickle. It took me a while to figure out why the pickle was so exquisite. It's a must visit. I would've have given 5 starts but the only thing I did not like was their choice of coconut milk available in shop at the time. read more

This place was so gorgeous inside with live music and plants everywhere. The food was delicious as well, the burrata with roti was such a fun fusion combo with spiced eggplant and burrata mixed. The chilli fries were also good. In my opinion this is the perfect size and shape for a fry so I really enjoyed it. The food was really great as well, the smash burger is what I had and it was really good. All of my friends loved their dishes as well! The service was pretty slow but I would still come back! read more

Ended up going to this twice. First time was waiting for my family to arrive for the spot next door Aba. So it was a nice chance I tried this spot. They had a really good espresso martini with their house made spirit. Then the 2nd time in the early afternoon for a caffeine stop and a ginger shot for vitality boost haha. read more

It was breakfast time and I walked in this chic, beautiful establishment. I sat at the bar. The temperature was wonderful and I was given a glass of water and a menu the moment I sat down. I ordered the lemon poppy waffle which came with syrup on the side, fresh edible flowers, and homemade cream. I also got a side of avocado dipped in olive oil and salt along with eggs and a hash brown. the only downside to the hash brown was that it was very salty. I couldn't finish it. But other than that the waffle had a perfect lemon flavor to it - so much so that I didn't need to add syrup. The cream and the strawberries were enough to deliver the right amount of sweetness. The egg was cooked perfectly and with the avocado, the meal was very filling. The service was very hospitable and friendly. The waitress I had was really nice as was the cooks. They were happily singing along to Mexican music behind the counter. That made me smile. I want to come back another day to try their drink menu. and try the breakfast burritos as well. read more

This was probably my first and last time coming to this place. My friend and I tried to order breakfast, but the waitress only offered us drinks and didn't come back to take our order. We waited nearly 20 minutes, and at that point we had to get up ourselves and ask for a different waitress, who finally took our order. read more

Was in Austin for work and looking for breakfast when I stumbled upon Two Hands (with a line out the door!). Luckily, I was alone and able to snag a single seat at the bar. Their service is outstanding and I was super impressed with the menu and quality of ingredients. I had an americano and an acai bowl and both were fabulous. Highly recommend this spot for breakfast or brunch! It was excellent. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience! My brown sugar cinnamon latte was good without it being too sweet. The bacon on the B.E.K. was SO GOOD. I wish there was more bacon on it as the bread was overpowering the sandwich a bit. The banana bread was good as well. I wish it was more moist, but I love the presentation and that the toppings complimented the bread well. The restaurant/location is very cute but a little on the small side. Gets super busy on the weekends. Would recommend making a res. read more

Coffee Window Visit: June 20, 2024 Sit down visit: August 14, 2024 This is a successful global brand that has locations in many major cities. My first time visiting (after wanting to for a long time) was in June with a college friend. I ordered the lavender matcha at the coffee window, and it was good but not special. I didn't taste a ton of the lavender syrup when I drank it. My second visit was with my parents in August, when we each got a coffee drink and bowl for brunch. My mom thought the taro tasted too artificial. My dad thought the chai was okay. I absolutely loved my vanilla latte! For food: the three of us each chose one of their 3 bowls (listed under the "lunch" section). We all thought they tasted yummy, but didn't give me a "wow" reaction. The restaurant itself is of course super cute, with a wraparound counter seating, tables, and booths. We made reservations so got a booth in the front corner, which was cozy. It is also conveniently located on popular South Congress, so there's a lot to do nearby. I would love to return when I settle down in Austin to try their sweet items and other savory choices, as well as baked goods. read more

We were looking for a place in SoCo for a light brunch and found Two Hands with fantastic reviews and a great menu. For a spontaneous walk in, I couldn't have been happier with the food. We shared the Wagyu steak and eggs with a side of chili oil crunch fries. It was all fantastic, but my favorite was actually the fries. I love shoestring-style fries and would definitely get them again, probably sans chili oil crunch though. read more

Was in desperate need of a cold drink and caffeine when I came across this spot! Ordered an iced strawberry rose matcha and it hit the spot!

I like how they have a small window to order grab and go items as well. read more

Super disappointed with Two hands, there's so many available tables, they made me wait 2hours, I don't recommend this place.

Do not deserve any star!!!!! read more

Two Hands was the perfect spot for a cozy lunch date! The juices were so fresh and vibrant--like a little sunshine in a glass.

Had a great experience here! Got a strawberry matcha and they were able to actually make it less sweet. For food, I got a breakfast burrito and it was good, but it was a little too eggy for me. I would've loved to see more veggies in the burrito itself. read more

I initially tried making a reservation on Resy but I reached out to the support team since we had a party of 6+ people in our reservation, and they were able to support us within 24 hrs. My order of the Breakfast Burrito was delicious and I loved how the hash browns added a pleasant crunch with each bite. I also ordered a side of the Crispy Chili Fries, which complimented the savory burrito well, but I wished the fries were actually spicy rather than just having a light chili flavor. Although I didn't try it this time, their coffee items are super popular and they even have a walk-up window to order coffee if you don't want to dine in. Since this Australian-influenced restaurant sits in the heart of Congress Ave, I'd highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time, whenever possible! read more
