Two Hands is right near all the soho shopping and has some great brunch options. They have a lot of good vegetarian options like their vegetarian breakfast burrito (which you can add bacon to) and their banana bread is a great thing to share at the table. Service is pretty quick and sometimes they do add a time limit to the table to keep things moving. The inside space is on the small side but still very cute and nice for brunch. Seating is best for 2-4 people but I think they can accommodate larger groups if needed read more

Two Hands - Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito and Banana Bread - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Totally enjoyed my breakfast burrito. My wife had the smashed avocado toast. We were pleased with the food and the prices are moderate. Rare find in NYC. I had the green tea and wife had the cappuccino both were good. Small venue with nice decor. Will be back again. read more

Two Hands is a chain of Australian cafe/restaurants with locations in New York, Texas, Colorado, and Tennessee (all your hip cities - Nashville, Austin, etc.). I visited their NoHo location for breakfast last Sunday and really enjoyed my meal. It opens at 8, which I really appreciate because I'm an early riser and sometimes feel like brunch that starts at 11 disrupts my ability to have a full day. They have a single all-day menu. I ordered an americano and their pesto feta scramble (soft-ribboned eggs, mint, green pea salad, white balsamic, feta, and macadamia nut pesto on toasted sourdough). While I found the dish a little difficult to eat (you can't pick up the toast, but the thickness of the slice and the toast on it - while great tasting - made it a little hard to cut), I also thought it was delicious - one of the best breakfast dishes I've had in ages. I added a side of grilled halloumi, which was great, too. The service was great, and the restaurant is bright and happy and cute. They take reservations, too (sometimes places don't for breakfasts). Overall, it was a great spot for breakfast before a day of touristing around NYC. I'd happily return to this or one of their other locations. read more

Went to the noho location today to stop in for lunch and the hostess (short white girl) looked at me like I didn't belong there. When I asked for a table she hesitated and told me I could only stay for an hour. I wasn't planning on staying very long but why did she feel the need to tell me that? After seating I just decided to leave as I was pretty uncomfortable. And yes I feel she was this way towards me because of race with me being black. Was wearing a blazer and t shirt, not a hoodie! Not a good look for a hip downtown establishment. read more

Two Hands is a great place for brunch. The smoked salmon, fennel & poached egg on sourdough was fantastic and beautifully presented, and the addition of lavender to the matcha latte adds a delicious twist to an already great staple. The hummus with the kale salad was another standout. Reservations are a must - the place was packed until afternoon on a Sunday, which also leads to it being rather loud, but the friendly service makes up for that. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. We ordered the smoked salmon toast, lemon poppyseed waffle and salmon quinoa bowl. I really enjoyed my salmon toast. The herb cream cheese was the perfect savory to be added with the lox and pickled zucchini (which is different). The lemon poppyseed waffle was also super special with the mascarpone cream and strawberries. I could have ordered another one since we split it! My friend loved her salmon bowl and thought it was quite tasty. I'd absolutely be back and would want to try other items on the menu! We love Australian brunch. read more

Amazing place! I have visited Two hands every time in in NYC, no matter the occasion of travel, work of leisure. Their iced coffee is so good and their brekky even better! I love their avocado toasts, so delicious. Staff is always friendly, though at times the wait is long as this place popular we don't mind the wait since we like it. Sometimes it can get crowded but overall its always a nice experience. read more

Came around 9:30a on Saturday, it's pretty empty. You definitely don't need a reservation if you come that early. Yummy healthy food, love the crunchy quinoa, flavorful mushrooms, and the added kimchi/chili oil. Minus 1 star since the drip coffee came in such a small size! Each refill also costs $1. The table base can use a little cleaning, they're sticky and my shoes kept getting stuck to it. read more

Very good casual food. Also reasonably priced. We had a fancy chai (this is the only over-priced item), the chicken bowl (good portion, filling, flavorful, seemed healthy), and some breakfast dish that its name I ccan't emember (but was good) :) They did charge us for a piece of bread requested for the breakfast item. That was annoying. Oh well. read more

Solid! Nothing spectacular but definitely would return for consistent, enjoyable, and healthy options. Feels like exactly what you'd expect from an Australian brunch spot in NYC, both in food and in vibes. I always get a breakfast burrito and a flat white at Aussie brunch and I'd order this combo again next time. read more

Two Hands - Breakfast Burrito - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Every now and then I stumble on a brunch place that I know will become a staple. Two hands is exactly that sort of place. I can't believe I didn't stop by earlier even though it has been on my list to try. This location is small. There is some seating inside, plus there is a covered eating area outside plus some seats on the sidewalk. I happened to come by relatively early so we were seated immediately. The service was excellent and the recommendations were on-point. Here is what we ordered: - coffee with brown sugar cinnamon syrup. It was delicious 5/5 - breakfast burrito- this was really good and the dipping sauce on the side is excellent 5/5 - seasonal scramble- it was sooooo good!! It has fresh peas and feta and lemon 5/5 - banana walnut bread- it was so good, especially with the espresso mascarpone on top 5/5 - lemon poppyseed waffle- as someone who is normally not a fan of lemon desserts or poppyseed, I am surprised I liked this so much 5/5 I don't recall giving a 5/5 to every food I had- so this place definitely stands out. read more

Was supposed to go with a friend on a Sunday morning but she had to cancel last minute so I went by myself instead. They were super accommodating about the reservation, and I noticed a couple of other people eating alone as well! The mood was very lively. It was a little cramped but not too bad. Food was good - very standard burrito and banana bread. Didn't feel like the banana bread was super life changing but good nonetheless. Would come back to try the drinks next time read more

Stumbled into this place and what a stumble it was! I was pleasantly surprised with everything we ordered. I got the chicken salad sandwich. That was absolutely joyful. My wife got the chicken salad bowl. She was pleasantly happy the main event and absolute shocker to this meal was a delicious slice of their banana bread topped with an espresso mascarpone it was a taste treat like no other and definitely a staple that you must get, if you get to stumble into this place. read more

Came with with reservations for brunch on a Sunday around noon and was delighted by how bright and airy the decor is. Definitely on the trendier side, but still comfortable and warm. I ordered an iced taro latte and the lemon poppyseed waffle. The taro latte was on the sweeter side, but I still enjoyed it. The waffle was fun to eat, with the cream and strawberries. It was pretty filling too. Unfortunately the bathroom was out of service while we were there, but the rest of our experience was great! The servers were friendly and attentive (almost too attentive though, with two different employees asking if we were ready to order within minutes of each other). I would definitely come back and enjoy brunch with my friends or even as a solo date. read more

Very very cute spot, perfect for a relaxing lunch to catch up with a friend or a lunch time time. I can in for a working lunch, sat in the corner & was happily given the WiFi to do some computer work while I was eating. I am going to start this by saying I had a good time here but I definitely ordered wrong. I got a Miso Mushroom Bowl. Reading it, I thought it was a warm grain bowl but the only thing that came warm was the mushrooms so it was kind of awkward at first when I was confused. I got the dressing on the side & it also came with chili oil that I took advantage of. Highlight was my matcha latte, very tasty, higher quality of matcha then most places & it came with a cute design. read more

Two Hands is a lovely place to do a summer brunch with friends! I would recommend getting a reservation so you're not stuck waiting, especially during weekend brunch hours. We ate outside during peak hours, so the service could be a bit slow at times (eating outside was pet-friendly, though!) I got the Brassicas Bowl with chicken and found it incredibly filling, beautiful to look at, and light. I thought my meal was great value overall. read more

Great ambiance and cute little spot for brunch. The wait staff is nice and the food is pretty good for the price point. Stopped here for some fuel before heading into soho and really enjoyed the vibe! I got the BEK roll, but it came with spinach instead of kale for some reason. The bacon was a bit on the burnt side, but overall a decent breakfast sandwich. read more

Cute spot. Came here for an earlier brunch and was able to get a table right away. The staff here are very kind and attentive. I got the acai bowl, which was delicious. Probably not the best thing for breakfast, but it was the perfect thing to cool off from the hot weather. My mom ordered the b.e.k roll, which was great as well. I'd skip their matcha lattes, nothing to write home about and since they're an Aussie cafe the coffee is probably better. As with all brunch spot in the city, this place isn't cheap. But if youre looking for a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle, Two hands is nice. read more

Yum! A catfood sandwich! Truly one of the most miserable steak sandwiches I've ever encountered. The bread was nice, but the contents of the sandwich were absolutely foul. I gave my huband my second half of my foul sandwich for his side salad. The salad was leggy, but ok. Service was fine, but it did not make up for the miserable food. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but sadly I wasn't impressed. I love an Australian cafe so I was excited to try this out, but there wasn't really anything special. I got the salmon quinoa bowl. It came with cucumbers, hummus, egg, salmon, avocado, jicama, and crunchy veggies. I'm honestly not sure what the crunchy veggies were but it was not that good. They were huge thin slices of it and felt like I was eating a garnish. It made it hard to take a bite of everything at once because of how big it was sliced so I ended up having to cut it down into smaller pieces but I still wasn't a fan of the flavor. I also didn't really like how they cut the jicama into medium sized cubes, that also made it harder to eat everything. The salmon was cooked well and wasn't dry and the avocado was nice and ripe. The egg was also cooked perfect! The service was also pretty slow. It took a while for a server to come over to take my order and then it took a really long time for someone to clean my table and bring me my bill. By the time I had finished my meal, I probably waited 20 min before someone came and gave me my receipt. It's pretty loud inside since it's a small-ish setting and they had some large parties inside. They also have outdoor dining and bar seating. It was pretty busy on the weekend. read more

Very busy spot in Noho. We went at peak brunch/lunch hour and sat on the sidewalk - chilly. There is an outdoor seating shed but that was full. The service was good- everyone was polite. Food was nothing remarkable. We had the avocado toast and the breakfast burrito. Breakfast burrito- tasty but not worth the price. Avocado toast- decent, not memorable. Overall I would not come back. This place is completely popular simply because of location and vibes. It is certainly a sceney spot, but do not expect excellent food. read more

What a lovely place for brunch! The inside is rather small but super cute and they make great use of the space. Unless you make a reservation, there will probably always be a wait. I waited 90 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a passion fruit hard seltzer to start instead of my usual mimosa. It was absolutely delicious! It was super refreshing. I ordered the weekend royale special which came with poached eggs, smoked salmon, and avocado on sourdough bread with a side salad. It tasted really delicious. Salmon tasted fresh. Eggs weren't exactly poached though. They were overcooked. My sister ordered the mushroom quinoa bowl which was really good! The star of the show was definitely the banana bread that came with walnuts and espresso mascarpone. The mascarpone was not too strong. The bread was nice and moist. Overall, I would return. I had a lovely experience here! read more

Service was okay, food was yummy, wish there was some more diverse plates. Great consistency of açaí bowl- almost like a scoop of ice cream, the chicken bowl was great!! The banana bread was ehh, too rich and underwhelming, overall really nice place if you order correctly. My boyfriend and I loved our food (chicken bowl and açaí) my two friends were "meh" about theirs (breakfast burritos and breakfast scramble), avocado toast was good. Peanut butter is great. Really good vibe if you want a Sunday brunch ambiance with well plated food. read more

One of the biggest gripes I have about shopping in SoHo is the lack of options for healthy fast-casual food. Sure there's Ruby's and Cava nearby at Mulberry/Spring St but seating can be hard to come by. I'd much rather walk a little further up to Two Hands where there are fresh options for breakfast or lunch and plenty of seating, both indoor and out. The service is always great and the playlist never misses. Some of the menu items I've tried include the lemon poppyseed waffle ($17) which is served with a bergamot maple syrup that really elevates the dish, a breakfast roll ($16) which is served with pickled shallots and a delicious spicy aioli that complements the creaminess of the scrambled eggs and avocado, and the açaí bowl ($14) which does come with a granola that contains almonds and pistachios in there, so beware people with tree nut allergies! Their açaí base is not my favorite; it tastes a little different from what I'm used to and I'm not sure if it's because they use a different sweetener but I would recommend it if you like less sweet açaí bowls. The toasted pepitas and bee pollen are a nice addition to the shredded coconut and berries. I haven't had the chance to try their bowls or salads but if it's as solid as their breakfast menu I have no doubt I'll enjoy them. read more

My daughter and I were looking for someplace to grab lunch close to where we had run a few errands. The reviews for this place looked good, so that's what drove our choice. My daughter is a fairly picky eater, so she ordered a couple scrambled eggs and some bacon and was very happy. I had the smoked salmon on toast and it was also excellent. Additionally I had a cocktail, calm before the storm, I think it was called. It had mezcal and I really enjoyed it. We sat at the bar because that way we could be seated immediately, and the wait staff was very helpful since we arrived with a few packages. We would definitely go back! read more

Drinks: some are 10/10 Food: good/ok depending on the dish Food: The miso mushroom bowl was cold, a bit too spicy, and a bit bland for the price. I can't speak to the other dishes ordered but the table consensus was that half were good and half were ok. Drinks: - strawberry matcha latte - taro latte - coffee drink (I forget which) The strawberry matcha is good. I wish there was more of a strawberry flavor, and I can't tell whether purée or syrup is used. Taro latte was amazing, just the right amount of sweet and creamy. 10/10 would have again. The coffee drink was great too. Service: Service was great. This place was packed when I went with friends, but we were still seated quickly despite not having a reservation. Staff members were friendly. read more

So happy we found this cute little brunch/lunch/coffee spot while wandering around the city. After spending the morning with my friend visiting from out of town, we wanted to find one last place to grab some food and coffee before parting ways. After a quick Yelp search (duh) we found Two Hands. Adorable and very comfy inside and the staff didn't mind too much when we needed to add a third person unexpectedly. Loved how much light was shining in on a very beautiful nyc day as we were sitting by the window. We got a couple cappuccinos that really wonderfully hit the spot and we both got the Green Salmon Goddess which was a big salad with avocado and salmon. So I thought everything tasted really fresh, the salmon was cooked very well and there was so much avocado. But, it just didn't have enough flavor. I had to ask for a lot of extra dressing to douse my salad in and even added salt (I literally never add salt). My friend felt the same way and even after all the added dressing was still not a fan. I think it just needed a little extra something to be great, but as is, I was a little disappointed. I would still return and try other things from their menu, or even just for coffees and lite bites. read more

Good brunch spot with decent options. It's cramped at times when it's busy like most typical NYC brunch spots. The service at the time was spotty...no one even gave us a menu or a QR code to access the menu. We just walked over to another table and snagged the QR code. After a while, we finally got water but luckily by that time, we were ready to order. The food was delicious and so was the latte. The pulled chicken bowl was packed with lots of delicious flavors and a mix of textures. The salmon bowl was packed with all the right things and was a great combo. Location-wise, this is a little bit off of Broadway meaning it's not in the middle of all the chaos but neatly tucked away and quiet enough to enjoy your meal inside or outside. read more

We came here for brunch and my rating will be based on our brunch experience. Food: There were a few vegetarian options and they were all options I personally would have wanted to get. I ordered the Miso Mushroom Bowl and it was delicious! It was definitely a bit spicer than I expected but I love spicy food so I didn't mind. We also got the banana walnut bread to share. It was sweeter than expected but we had saved it for dessert, so that worked. I loved the addition of toasted buckwheat. I also ordered a hot chocolate as it was a very cold day. The drink came out the right temperature with a pretty design and it wasn't too sweet which I always appreciate. Next time I definitely want to try the Avocado toast. Ambiance: It's cute little set up. Definitely feels cozy. The bench seats don't have cushions which according to my pregnant friend was tough on her back and bum. Service: The staff was very attentive and our food came out pretty quickly. The only thing I will comment on is the host service. We came in 10 minutes early to our reservation as asked and we were told to wait. We didn't mind, we were early. However, when we asked if we could wait at the bar area that was empty we were told no and we'd have to wait outside. It was 40deg and windy and we had a pregnant woman with us and my foot was broken. I think in certain instances like this it would have been nice if they had made an exception and let us wait inside. lol read more

A cute restaurant to check out if you're in the area. The space is well decorated - perfect for instagram photos. A nice place if you're craving something healthy. I opted for the Miso Mushroom Bowl and thought it was pretty yummy. Super umami as the bowl is filled with mushrooms. There is kimchi in this bowl so be warned that if you have a low spice tolerance. One thing I didn't like about the place is that seating is limited and the tables are kinda small with no reservation. This is a walk-in only establishment. read more
