This amazing cafe is everything you want for a good breakfast, that's more on the healthy and nutritious side. We came here for a late Sunday breakfast (around 11:00am), and although we didn't have a reservation they were able to have us seated right away. We ordered the acai bowl, which was huge, and served with lots of fresh fruits (banana, strawberries, blueberries), almonds, shredded coconut and granola. It was delicious and great VFM due to the portion size. We also shared the Zoe's market plate (eggs to your choice - we went for scrambled, avocado, roasted tomato, roasted sweet potato, beet relish, watercress salad and some quinoa), that we added some bacon to, and a sourdough toast. This was also a very big portion, and everything in the plate felt super nourishing and tasty. The service was super kind, attentive & helpful. If you appreciate fresh ingredients and healthy food, make sure to not miss out on this one!
A gem of a brunch spot in Williamsburg Brooklyn — and the people make it special! Had a wonderful time at Two Hands and honestly can’t stop thinking about it. The food was really good — everything came out fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Exactly what you want from a great brunch spot. But what really set this place apart was the staff. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there — the kind of vibe that makes you want to linger over your coffee way longer than you planned. The highlight? One of the main cooks, Daryl, actually came out from the kitchen to say hello to guests. That kind of personal touch is rare and it really meant a lot. You could tell he takes real pride in what he’s putting on the plate, and it shows in every bite. If you’re looking for a brunch spot where the food is great AND you actually feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a table number, this is your place. We’ll definitely be back!
Good brunch spot. Breakfast burrito is loaded and flavorful. Iced matcha latte was decent too.
Two Hands is amazing!! I’ve been to the one in Manhattan but never this one yet. We decided to go for brunch and it was incredible. The service was great too. They were running a bit behind with our reservation (no big deal) and the host (I wish I got his name) was AMAZING. He was so accommodating while we waited for our table. Our waitress was also great and very attentive. Food is fresh, health forward and delicious!! Will for sure be back.
Two hands is such a great spot for a cute brunch! In the morning the restaurant is full of light with great people watching if you are able to get a window seat. Their menu options are great, the chai latte had a great presentation and tasted nice. I ordered the poached eggs the texture was perfect to my liking. They paired well with the roasted potatoes, sour dough toast with butter and jam. Beautiful decor to sit and relax and enjoy your meal. The service was great. Highly recommend.
