"Stopped by here for brunch on the way to the way to the Mamdani inauguration, Jan 1st '26. Was hesitant to book a reservation here because my experience with most 'Australian' restaurants is that they are very meat heavy places with a brash atmosphere. But reservations for new years brunch were drying up fast so I went for it. NOT disappointed. The service was great. The atmosphere was mellow. The lemon poppyseed Belgian waffle was great. Even the coffee was tasty. My companions seemed to like their dishes a lot as well. Seating is a tiny but cramped but nothing you aren't used to if you eat out in NYC often. These guys have high rents and need to squeeze in enough customers to make a viable business. Really liked the small touches like the little flowers garnishing the waffle. And the bergamot flavored maple syrup. Will visit again."

"Great food for brunch! Came here on a rainy Saturday around 11AM and I would say to definitely get a reservation before if you can because it was practically full. The big brekkie was actually fulfilling, the hash brown was very crispy and nice. The toast though was a little too hard for my liking. Steak and eggs were great as well. The banana walnut bread was pretty good, not too sweet with the coffee mascarpone!! The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the grapefruit juice; it’s too bitter!"

"Looking for brunch? Two Hands is a solid spot! It’s a cute Australian cafe with a good variety of aesthetic food and drink options. I came with a friend at Wednesday afternoon, and got seated right away! We both agreed that the breakfast burrito was phenomenal, and the hash brown with the scrambled eggs was the highlight of the meal. I also really enjoyed the banana espresso martini! Definitely come check this place out if you want a cute brunch with friends!"

"The experience was ok overall. The muffuletta sandwich was good but the breakfast burrito was just okay. The pancakes were dry. The service was slow and they forgot to bring the pancakes, which I had to remind them twice. They took my napkin twice and did not bring me a new one until I asked them."

"This place gets busy, so I’d recommend reserving a table. The food was delicious—especially the salmon—and the service was great. I also asked to substitute celery with avocado, and they generously brought me half an avocado!"
