S. O.August 23, 2018Very very nice place for kick a** breakfast. A little pricey but hey! good things have a cost. Tried half of the menu w/ a relatively big group & loved every bit of it. Service is slow but who cares:)
Apurva LimayeNovember 23, 2015Healthy and delicious. Did not miss any 'boozy' brunch when I was here! I added a scrambled egg to my avo toast and sipped some matcha latte! The wait was 40 minutes because the place is always busy!
Avocado toast with a poached egg plus a flat white makes a perfect Australian breakfast. No wifi, but perfect vibe for working.
Ethan CAugust 10, 2014Aussie Brunch spot with great coffee. Lemon & cucumber water is a nice touch. Airy interior is a retreat from the busy Mott st but come early as it can get bit sceney & not as chill. Good vibe though.
Kathryn PhillipsMay 3, 2016This place was💯💯💯!!! So great. Love the ambiance, great servers, amazing coffee, great food. Try a flat white, the avo toast, and the granola bowl (possibly the best I've ever had).
- Yet another very good Nolita Aussie coffee shop. No wifi, but great vibe to work in with some outdoor seating too. Iced latte is solid. Watermelon with mint slice for just 50 cents.
Foodtraveler_theworldJuly 20, 2016Superb breakfast and brunch menu with fresh & yummy taste. Try ham cheese croissants or mixed fruit with fresh yogurt. You will be happy at beginning of the day.
tricia wangJuly 20, 2017Eveyone will say get avocado toast but skip it - get Zoe plate or anything else! The a. toast is more instagram yummy than tummy yummy CUZ the bread to avocado ratio is imbalanced - too much bread!
Alexa Jane BrooksMarch 11, 2015Great ambiance. Healthy menu. Avocado toast was great. Good coffee selection. 99% young women in the place. Get the Acai bowl!
Katerina KuvNovember 21, 2022No WiFi, really trendy and always busy place. The waitress interested in more people and more money. So don’t seat here long, especially if you are alone. Healthy food, cozy atmosphere with outdoor se
Emily LoveNovember 10, 2015Cute spot, great coffee, and food. We got the little Italy which was good but very small and a BLT type sandwich (forgot the name) which was awesome! Will be back.
Now that Oro is gone, Two Hands is my go-to for early morning breakfast. Get the eggs and spinach. I also really am a fan of their espressos...feels so smooth.- Super chill new coffee spot in Little Italy run by two Aussie mates, they did well bringing their relaxed Australian coffee vibe to NYC. Great coffee too.
Dan SohaydaDecember 18, 2016Avo toast is well done. Granola is hearty with whole almonds and chia seeds. Nice space, quality coffee drinks, healthy and delicious food choices.
Eunice KimDecember 27, 2015Ricotta toast was really good! And ordered a flat white, which was good as well. Good spot to go alone or with a friend...not suited for large groups
RTWgirl ArnetteNovember 17, 2014I absolutely love this Aussie cafe on Mott and Broome. Cute staff and great flat whites, avo on toast as well as acai bowls. Busy on the weekends!!
- DoubleDeuceDecember 14, 2014Run by Australians, so it's as relaxing, helpful, clean and hip as you'd imagine. Don't miss this place if you come through the neighborhood.
This new kid in town was opened by some handsome Aussies. Spacious, lot of light, Instagram-worthy. Get your two hands on some mason jars, paper straws, and good espresso.
Lele BuonerbaSeptember 18, 2016Loved the cortado! Great atmosphere but I didn't have the patience to wait to be seated for Sunday brunch, although it looks like it's well worth it!
RobDecember 16, 2014Awesome Aussie service and the best Tim Tam Slam in the form of their Outback Cap! But don't miss their amazing tea selection from Bellocq, either
Rheya ShanoFebruary 24, 2019Cute little cafe with great food! My friend and I shared the chili scrambled eggs and the banana bread, and both were really delicious
Delicious food, drinks and coffee but can't seem to find a time to come here that isn't overcrowded. Worthwhile, if you don't mind the throngs of people.
- R BakerAugust 9, 2016With real estate prices so high, most coffee shops don't even have space to sit. Here's a great, old school bookstore with a tiny cafe and ample seating. Great to meet up or do a little work.
David BanNovember 20, 2014Among the growing number of Aussie/Kiwi coffee shops in NYC, Two Hands stands out for their expanded menu and plentiful seating. Order a Flat White for the full experience.
Andrea FerreyrosSeptember 18, 2016Trendy, adorable restaurant in soho serving up a delicious brunch. The service could've definitely been better as we had to flag down a waitress to even bring us water after sitting there for ten min.
- Lotta SaxeSeptember 23, 2018The banana bread with walnut and espresso mascarpone was amazing! Açaí bowl was really good. Great service, a bit pricey.
IrinaOctober 14, 2014Lovely Australian place. Iced latter is served in maison jar which is very cute. Acai bowl is delicious and surprisingly filling!
Asuka TsujiMarch 23, 2015Grabbed cappuccino to go. Tastes too sour. It's very crowded Sunday afternoon for Brunch. Avocado toasts look delicious, plates/glasses are so fancy! Should be good for young girl's hang...
Christopher LeeAugust 17, 2014Neatly designed Aussie inspired cafe in Nolita. Avocado toast is recommended, espresso is strong, although service is quite slow, 5 guys standing behind the counter not doing much lol!
The Outback Cappuccino is the perfect sweet tooth combo. It's common Aussie practice, albeit difficult, to use your Tim Tam as a straw. Bite off the corners and give the "Tim Tam Slam" a try!
Sylvain LienneMarch 18, 2015I wanted to enjoy a coffee after work but it closes at 5 PM (written 6PM on Foursquare) :( but I will definitely go there soon. It seems to be a great place with great coffee !
Lamia F.December 14, 2017Among all choices, Avocado toast is the winner!👍🏻. Banana bread is good too ( it would be awesome if you can find another location with a nice view ✨)
Angela WenMarch 12, 2015Great coffee and food here especially the beautiful acai bowl. However I've always seen little flies buzzing around every time I come...
Mullica ZudsiriMay 2, 2015I loved the acai bowl and the juice! You can make your own. The chai latte was very weak and that was a little disappointing.
Valentina SiragusaOctober 3, 2015Amazing place ! One of my favorite in soho for the breakfast ! Super yogurt granola and Matcha latte :)
Lindsey KimJune 14, 2016The wait can be long, but the food is delicious and super healthy. Get a side of pesto to enhance any dish!
AdnaMay 22, 2015Amazingly delicious and massive almond croissant. The latte was yummy too. Great spot for an obligatory instagram photo.
John HollanderMarch 15, 2015The Avo Toast with egg was lovely. Everything is also guilt-free because of how damn healthy it all is!
Jen ShinMarch 9, 2015an australian coffee shop with great avo toast & i really loved the acai bowl. wont be my last time here!
Friendly Aussies make good coffee. I especially like their almond milk cappuccino. Their breakfast dishes always look delicious as well
Order the Avo Toast with a Poached Egg and squeeze a little lemon on it. SO good. Don't forget a Flat White.
CRUZiiiEJune 23, 2016I listened to the recommendations (avo toast & banana bread)... Both were good! Topped it off with an almond milk latte and left happy.
Order these off-menu gems: Outback Cap (cappuccino with chocolate dusting and a Tim Tam!) and Milo Milkshake.
Tamer BekirAugust 12, 2015Took a little bit to get in on a Sunday, which is expected, but the latte and acai bowl were great. Get your omega on!
AmberApril 21, 2017Tasty little Aussie cafe with great avocado toast and tasty looking bowls. They also have coffee, juices, and alcohol!
Grace MSeptember 17, 2017Do NOT come for brunch on the weekends .... the wait is 50 mins. Ordered the avocado toast with sweet potato fries and iced matcha latte
Kennedy LandenAugust 8, 2015açai bowl and matcha latte - so good. cutest interior. waiters were a lil slow but the food made up for it!
