The Best Restaurants To Eat Something Kind Of Healthy In Austin

"Two Hands is an Australian-themed brunch-focused cafe based out of New York City that opened a location on South Congress. Confused yet? Don’t worry—all you need to know is that they’re in the Music Lane development, and that they make some of the best toasts in town. We really like the mushrooms and greens toast. It comes stacked high with roasted mushrooms, poached egg, braised and charred greens, herbed tahini, and za’atar (add an avocado). They also have things like salmon quinoa bowls, crispy calamari noodle salads, and breakfast rolls. And if you decide you want something a little less healthy, they’ve got a double wagyu-beef cheeseburger on the menu." - raphael brion, adele hazan, nicolai mccrary

Absolutely loved this little spot! It’s definitely small so I’d recommend making a reservation. The juices tasted great, as did the coffee and alcoholic beverages. That banana espresso martini was to die for!! Our server was super sweet and friendly.. she gave us plenty recommendations for hitting the city after brunch. Parking isn’t fun but there is parking garage nearby for like $25. I’m still thinking about the harissa chicken bowl. It was super fresh, well seasoned, a little spicy, crunchy… omg! And the portion sizes are definitely bigger than expected. I’d recommend stopping by if you love fresh food, laidback vibes, and drinks! I think they have happy hour too!

Stopped by this restaurant in a super popular area—perfect for people-watching, especially with their cozy outdoor seating. The vibe was laid-back, and the service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. We ordered the smoked salmon toast, a side of hash browns, and the burger with fries. The smoked salmon toast was full of flavor, and the bits of salmon blended into the cream cheese were a pleasant surprise that added richness and texture. The burger ended up being a really nice surprise—juicy, flavorful, and just a solid, well-done burger. Definitely something I’d come back for. The fries on the side were a little too oily for me, but not a dealbreaker. The hash browns were perfectly crispy—exactly how I like them. Golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. A small side dish, but done really well. Overall, a great place to relax, eat well, and enjoy the energy of the area. Would happily return!

Australian food spot Great spot on Congress. We did brunch and loved it. We opted for sitting at the bar which turned out perfect for us. The place reminded me of my trip to Australia especially Melbourne area. The food and service were outstanding. A wonderful spot for breakfast,brunch and lunch.

Had a wonderful experience from the beginning. I arrived ~15 minutes before my friend. The hostess sat me right away without any concern about my friend having yet to arrive. Once seated, my server (I’m upset I can’t remember his name) was kind, patient, and helpful. I asked him a lot of questions about the menu and he was happy to help me, coming back to check in as we tried what was ordered. Anthony, the manager, was present and came in to check on us as well. All around, it was a great experience and we felt very taken care of. I’ll be back. Thank you!

Overall, cute place. Very popular, leading to long waits (1.5+hrs), cold food, and loud music from surrounding venues (not a bad vibe if you like to groove during suppa!). Got the burger with gluten free bread. The burger was tasty, great toppings. However, the bread was a bit thick needing water to chase it down. The fries are uniquely tiny, easy to cool fast! Enjoyed their nitro cold brew!

Not the biggest fan of the taste of the food here. It's more about looks. My coffee was great but I've had better. The breakfast burrito was somewhat boring. Hot sauce helps. The Hash brown inside had literally no flavor. The mushrooms were a weird texture to me, i picked them out. The green sauce was quite acidic/ sour. The banana bread was done well but nothing extraordinary. The salmon bowl was liked but it again not great for the price of the bowl ($26). The lemon poppy Seed waffle looked beautiful. Tasted sweet. Can't mess that up. Tea is good. Small restaurant so we waited about 30min for table. I wouldn't return for brunch or lunch. This place was as boring as I expected.

Such a lovely restaurant with very kind staff. We came for breakfast and the drinks were great. We got the taro latte, the standard drip coffee, and the hot green tea. The service was super fast, even with a decent crowd inside. The smoked salmon toast was so delicious with a good helping of salmon. The salmon cream cheese on it was a great addition too. The avocado toast had quality, ripe avocados on it and the flavors were well balanced. It’s easy to tell that they put time and effort to serve food that looks and tastes good, and that has good serving sizes. I would totally come back again.

Make sure if you want to eat here you make reservations a couple days in advance! The service was phenomenal. My friend and i arrived 15 minutes prior to our reservation time and went to check in. Instead of waiting, which we planned on, they were able to seat us immediately. Our waiter was prompt in greeting us and continuously serving us through the meal. The food came out fast and was really good; something slightly different from your average breakfast place. My only tip is to not order a coffee, for some reason any time someone ordered a coffee the waiters would tell them that it would be an extremely long wait and ask if that was okay. Not sure why they would be behind on making coffee so just be aware. Other than that, 10/10.

Two Hands is one of my favorite breakfast places in Austin. If you do not have a reservation in time, I would stop by the restaurant or call ahead and see if you can get on the books. That's what we did! The vibes are good, the food is great.

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

Plenty of parking on SoCo--always a win. We sat fairly quickly because we opted for the bar on a busy Sunday. Really open and beautiful space. We had the smoked salmon toast. It was perfectly light yet satiating. I even preferred it to their fire avocado toast. Would order both of those again, depending on the vibe of the day. Overall, I'd recommend Two Hands!

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!

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!

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.

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!

Cute restaurant on south congress. Can get really busy with tourists cause of the area but still cute for coffee and breakfast. The banana cake was super yummy

Decided to have this weeks date night after my lovely fiancé was influenced by one of Two Hand's instagram reels of their $45 pre-fixed (Prix Fixe) menu. We made reservations for a Tuesday night, which you absolutely don't have to on a Tuesday since we were 1 of 4 total parties there, and parked on the street. Food wise we did end up going with the $45 Prix Fixe menu and picked our 3 meals for the night. For $45, the quantity and quality was very worth it in our opinion. Here is the rating per food item: Broccolini: 10/10 - excellent starter vegetable. Love the olives and nuts. Burrata w Rotti: 8/10 I loved it; fiance was on the fence with the flavor Pesto Cavatelli: 11/10 would come back just for this. We couldn't get enough. Highlight of the meal. Burrata was $5 extra but very tasty with it Half chicken: 5/10 lot of food, but it was just alright Brownie w ice cream: 10/10 if you like chocolate, you'll be in heaven Banana walnut bread: 8/10 would also be great as a breakfast treat. Very espresso-y if you're a coffee lover. Ambience was very cute inside. Very nicely decorated and whoever made the playlist did a very good job (Clairo, the shins, the growlers, etc). The space wasn't very big so I imagine on a full Friday night it could get loud but perfectly fine for when we went. I'll have to come back for the coffee bc the window side coffee bar looked very intriguing.

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.

Haley F.

Yelp

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.

Found this place on TikTok and decided to try it out when I visited Austin! The vibe was super cool, I enjoyed watching the different people come into the restaurant. Water comes in a glass carafe I tried the steak & eggs that comes with and amazing salad and hash brown cake! The egg comes sunny but I got mine OM. My date had the the Two Hand burger and it was good! It's a double smash burger but it's a lot of shredded lettuce! We also had juiced I had the "Walking On Sunshine" juice and I enjoyed it! I give this place a 7.5/10! I'll definitely be back to try more things. The service was good, my waitress was Marissa and she was very sweet and knowledgeable!

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.

Good place for a nice relaxing brunch. Decor is light and simple. Great outdoor space. The brunch menu looked interesting. Unfortunately, what we got were either oily or dense. We couldn't get the egg white seasonal scramble so we went with as is. Jam for toast was an add-on cost. Their homemade hot sauce was very vinegary. Drip coffee was either not available or not ready so we ordered americano. It was good but small. Other than that service was great.

Georgina G.

Yelp

I absolutely love this place! I've been there several times, and I always end up ordering the same thing because it's so delicious. Their variety of juices is also worth trying, but my favorite drink is the matcha lavender latte. I always order the salmon quinoa bowl, and it never disappoints--it's good to the last bite! They offer garage parking and have seating available both inside and outside, so be sure to stop by. It's one of my favorite spots to work and people-watch while enjoying some amazing food!

Love that this place is on inKind! Had the best drink and I can't remember which one but it had whiskey. The staff was great and productive. The table loved the banana walnut bread. Can be busy.

I came into Two Hands this morning with my partner for brunch, and I've completely changed my view. The service was incredible - Lauren, and a taller bald white man who I did not catch the name of - took excellent care of us. We got the lemon poppy seed waffle, and the BEK with hashbrowns. The food came out so quickly, and I even got to see the cook decorating it through the little window to the kitchen. I also got an iced vanilla matcha (as did my partner) and it's the best one I've had in south Congress. The star of the show has to be the waffle though, IMO. Glad we checked it out a second time and we will be back!

Came here on a Sunday at 1pm for a party of 4 (We didn't have a reservation so we were told we would have to wait 45 minutes which we were fine with, especially since they have a pick up window outside so we grabbed drinks and hung out outside while we waited). The coffee was decent! The restaurant itself is super cute inside which is what made us want to try this place since we've been seeing it all over Instagram. Once we were seated the server was really kind and we put in our orders, after about 50 minutes of waiting for our food we were told that there were no burgers left so my friend chose a different dish. As we waited about 15 more minutes our food finally came out and while we were eating the table (that had gotten seated after us) got a burger..so not sure what that was about, but the waiter was sweet enough to discount us for the long wait (he offered). After the food was delivered we didn't see our waiter for the rest of the time and it was hard to find staff walking through to ask for boxes and a check. Once we were able to, there was no discount so we had to wait another 5-10 minutes to flag someone down and let them know. Turns out our waiter clocked out and was enjoying his beer but forgot to close the loop on us, which is fine but we wish the service could have been a bit better. The food was decent, I would love to try this place again and hope to have a different experience in the future. By the time we got our check the restaurant was getting pretty empty at 4pm. We spent 2 full hours there, I felt like we could have had spent our time more efficiently here.

It was a cold day in Austin- Jan. 19th, but warm and cozy inside. We were offered immediate seating at the bar. Where I enjoyed my English Breakfast tea- seen in picture-my way with my own little milk container and tea pot. I ordered the breakfast my way too with the eggs over medium:firm on homemade sour dough toast and hash browns. It was so flavorful and presented beautifully. I wish we had ventured out of the hotel and eaten breakfast here instead of the hotel buffet that served cold eggs and bland everything. I highly recommend Two Hands for friendly service and a tasty meal.

Yelp

Met a friend here for lunch. Looks to be a pretty popular popular place. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, but the staff very accommodating and we sat at the bar and the table was ready. My harissa chicken bowl was excellent lots of textures and flavors. My husband, salmon bowl was excellent, terrific hummus my friend had the waffle and hashbrowns, which looked delicious. The brussels sprouts are not to be missed. they have a pretty extensive cocktail menu and the lavender lemonade was refreshing and they carry three kinds of tea. I chose the black iced tea most excellent.

This place was so good we came here twice for breakfast! The gluten free bread they get from a local baker was amazing and so thick. Coffee was great too!

Sherrill J.

Yelp

We came in with some acquaintances for an early dinner prior to a concert. It's a pleasant atmosphere on S Congress. I had the Two Handed Smash Burger with fries. R had the Brassica salad. We had corn and jalapeños fritters and a side of mushrooms. Our friends split a steak. All of the food was delicious. No question. Service was friendly. We had Margaritas and they were ok. Here's the downside for us. With my wife's dietary restrictions there were very few "choices". Perhaps a great place for breakfast. Also, the server took our orders on an electronic device. We asked her for separate checks and she refused saying it was company policy. We were not impressed. She made it our problem to figure it out. I find that to be unacceptable given the use of electronic device for order and bill. 1* for not taking care of customers.

Loni M.

Yelp

Such an amazing experience at Two hands! Please make a reservation beforehand because it is a small space and they are always full. I have had their coffee from the walkup window about a million times now but dined here for the first time coincidentally during SXSW. They were doing a collab with Reddit and had a special menu as well which was fun. Service was attentive and fast and our food arrived just as quickly. I had the Lemon Poppyseed Waffle and that was a 10/10. I still dream about it sometimes it was that delicious. My parents had the burrito which they also enjoyed. I can't wait to go again and try other items in the menu!

Subha R.

Yelp

I love Two Hands! It's one of my favorite places to take people who come to Austin from out of town because it's just such a cute neighborhood to spend time in and explore afterwards in south congress. The location and vibes are immaculate. The food always hits and the chili oil fries are a must get. I like the soft scramble on sourdough but the breakfast burrito is filling and yummy as well! The service is nice and quick but they're always packed so you're not going to be able to chat it up with your server. The coffees are always different and they have a walk up window which is so smart for all the soco pedestrians. Overall 10/10 would recommend and go back again

Felicia C.

Yelp

Came to Two Hands for brunch on a Sunday. Surprisingly, there wasn't much waiting for 2 people. We only waited for 10 minutes before we were seated. Chicken Bowl - Off the bat, they gave a lot more than I would have expected! However, even though there was a lot of chicken, it was pretty dry. The flavors were nice although I wished that there were more pickled jicama for more flavor. It felt a little bland for something I would get from a restaurant. It did fill me up though, but for $17, that is expected. Overall, I don't love American brunch places, but it still wasn't great. The service was pretty slow and inefficient. I would recommend trying somewhere else!

Carter C.

Two Hands is a great brunch spot on South Congress. I had some friends visiting town and we decided to start our day out here with some brunch. I didn't order any drinks but my friends did and really enjoyed their cocktails. We sat outside on their patio area and it was a beautiful setup with comfortable seating allowing us to take advantage of the great weather. Inside is also a nice cafe aesthetic with tiles, wood and greenery. The overall atmosphere is very bright, warm and inviting. I opted for the steak and eggs and was very pleased with what I received. Not as basic as a typical steak and eggs, this one came with micro greens and a delicious sauce, that complimented the salad and meat expertly. The sauce really stood out as a delicious and unique factor for me. Hash browns were hidden underneath and were very crispy and well seasoned. Steak was quality and cooked medium rare. Yolk of the egg was also a perfect over easy so the delicious egg yolk could flow and meld with everything. Service was attentive, kind and quick. Our waters were filled often and we were checked in on several times. I loved my experience here and was a fantastic vibe to kick off the weekend while also providing some delicious and unique food at a reasonable price.

For brunch, my friend and I walked down south congress and we found two hands along the strip. The wait was short during the weekday, the inside was decorated so beautifully and felt very welcoming. We both ordered avocado toast and it was so delicious! It was only one small piece of toast but the spread was even better than I imagined. I would definitely order it again! For coffee, we both ordered a vanilla lavender latte and WOW it was the perfect drink to order. We chose our own syrups and it did not disappoint. On the side I got scrambled eggs, and my friend got a hash brown. Both sides were delicious and presented beautifully. Overall, loved this place for breakfast, would go again for lunch and dinner! It's a very aesthetic place to take friends that are visiting from out of town.

Shradha A.

Yelp

I had quite forgotten about this hidden gem and randomly thought to visit for dinner. I really enjoyed the food and the espresso martini was one of the absolute best I've had, given they're also a coffee bar so use freshly drawn espresso for it. The service is nice but a bit forgetful if you sit in their patio - we had to wait a while for cutlery etc. The restaurant attached to it, Aba, also has a lively patio so the overall ambiance at Two Hands is festive and fun even if they're not busy on a weeknight.

Cherry Y.

Yelp

I recently visited Two Hands in Austin for a coffee chat and was instantly charmed by its wonderful ambiance. It was my first time stepping into this cozy nook, and the experience was nothing short of delightful! I decided to try something different and went for the Taro Latte. The server recommended it hot to fully appreciate its rich flavor, and I must say, it was a great suggestion. I was especially pleased that it was served with no added sugar, allowing me to tailor the sweetness to my liking. While I was there primarily for the drinks, but it seemed that the restaurant caters more towards meals than just a quick caffeine fix. I'm definitely planning for another trip, but for brunch. Given the location, parking here is notoriously difficult, but with a bit of luck, you might snag a spot. Despite this minor inconvenience, I'd say the hassle is worth it!

Alayna M.

Went with my sister for lunch to enjoy our birthdays and a little shopping trip. We shared the fries and a salad grain bowl and each got our own protein to go with it. The amount was perfect. They have a great amount of indoor and outdoor seating and the atmosphere is somehow both chic and relaxing, which is nice amidst the bustle of South Congress. The service was great and the food was delicious, fresh, and it came out quickly. I didn't get a coffee this time but I have in the past and it's always great! I love going to this spot with my sister or girlfriends!

Genna G.

Yelp

Had a lovely brunch here. Be warned the wait was long. We waited an hour for a table. Food was good. Started with the banana bread which was, um, weird. It had a marscapone espresso cheese topping which I just didn't get. Additionally the cake tasted gluten free ( skip that ). Had a salad that was solidly good. Lots of yummy menu options. Seating was particularly uncomfortable which I'm guessing is intentional to get diners in and out . That said , service was good and food was solid . If I lived in the area I'd return.

I'm only reviewing the matcha bc that's what I got-- iced strawberry rose matcha overpriced mediocrity! Super light matcha and strawberry syrup, I don't think there was any rose flavor in mine. Service was quick and blunt but it was convenient Really cute space though, I love the aesthetics

Thomas N.

Yelp

Arrived around noon without reservations and it was about a 45min to 1 hr wait for a table for 4. Interior is simple modern, the coffee bar is near the entrance as it has a to go window. Staff were pretty friendly, food and drinks came out quickly. But this review of 2 stars is solely based on the food. I ordered the chicken schnitzel upon recommendation from the waiter. He hyped it up over the other lunch bowls on the menu. The chicken schnitzel is a good size and I left full, but the sandwich was soooo bland with zero flavor. I had to douse it in hot sauce to make it bearable. It's $17 for a sandwich with no fries or a side. My friend ordered the Build Your Own Breakfast $9 for a piece of sourdough bread and 2 eggs. Any additional sides is ala carte pricing. Really there bare minimal for $9 the BYOB needs to include one side at least. My friend said her food had no flavor either. Moral of the story, the lack of flavors does not match the price point. Probably won't be back for food, maybe just for the coffee.

I recently had brunch there with my husband. The food was decent, especially loved the lavender lemonade and the harissa chicken was pretty good. The atmosphere is really nice and we sat outside in the patio under this beautiful large tree. The service was not great. Out waiter was quite impatient and curt with us. He seemed like he was annoyed with having to wait on us. I was quite surprised as we were nothing but polite to him. When taking our order, he got it wrong, and assumed I was ordering something else entirely. He was honestly killing our vibe. Otherwise a cute place. Hopefully you get better service than I did!

The outdoor patio dining area is lovely. The line at the takeout window was constant and there is plenty of indoor seating. We had great service and the food was amazing. Not pictured was a delicious iced chai. The espresso mascarpone on the banana bread made it out of this world.

Great food options for Gluten and dairy concealed people. Good vibe and friendly staff. Would highly recommend! Traffic and parking is the only drawback but it's s. Congress / touristy area in its own weird rights

Erin L.

Yelp

A friend and I dropped by for lunch and ordered the burrito, chili fries, and matcha latte with oat milk. The burrito was very delicious, with a good balance of avocado, egg, cheese, mushroom, and a little spice from the jalepenos. The matcha latte was okay, it was a bit too milky for the price. The chili fries were nice and crunchy, but I wish there was more chili added since a lot of the fries didn't get the sauce. Overall it is a very cute and cozy restaurant and very aesthetic for picture taking!

Riya S.

Yelp

I got the breakfast burrito which was pretty decent. the eggs were well cooked, not too hard or soft. Could've used more jalapeños for the spice and more of the sauce but it was yummy. The place itself is super cute but pretty small, all the seats were taken up so we had to sit at the bar. Service was good.

Alexis K.

Yelp

Sigh. The rice was uncooked. The Goan curry was mostly sauce, too few veggies. It just wasn't that good. I like that I can add haloumi but that's about it. Maybe Ill give them another try but that was pretty disappointing.

Food was over the top. Service was great. Atmosphere was fantastic. What a great place.

Cute little place on SoCo! They have both an indoor restaurant going on and a walk-up window for ordering on the go. The barista was super friendly and helpful. Definitely worth trying once. Wait wasn't too bad for the drinks. DRINK RATING!! Matcha latte: 3/5 Maybe because we added the vanilla syrup to the drink, but all we could taste in it was the vanilla. Wish the matcha was a bit stronger Taro latte: 4/5 Tastes just like taro milk tea but not as sweet as the real deal.

love the vibes and the atmosphere matcha latte - 4.5/5 got it with no sugar and oat milk and the matcha flavor really came through with a hint of the oatiness seasonal smth (the one with the fluffy eggs): 3/5 the sourdough was nicely toasted and i loved the pickled things on it. The egg was nice and fluffy BUT it was severely under seasoned :((((( it desperately needed some salt bro burger: 4/5 fine burger? nothing AMAZING but i love the fried egg - it was ooey and gooey NOM NOM NOM finger licking good. THAT HASH BROWN THO im still thinking about it. good seasonings and i like the presentation lolll

Had a great brunch in this spot before flying home from such a great weekend in Austin. This is in the heart of SoCo and has such an appealing exterior with bright blue tile. The interior is decorated so chic and modern with plants and neutral tones - I was obsessed. Loved the service we received and the food was fantastic. Get their hashbrown. It's like a hasbtown cake but so so good and not greasy or heavy! They also gave us fruit bowls which was fresh and delicious. And I love avocado toast with the chile - spices it up!

Two Hands, located in Austin's South Congress, is a visually appealing Australian brunch spot, definitely Instagram-worthy. The interior is undeniably cute and inviting, perfect for photos and girl's brunch outings. While the menu offers healthy and straightforward dishes, it's worth noting that prices are on the steeper side. However, Two Hands redeems itself with a great drink selection and a convenient walk-up coffee window. Service is attentive and friendly, but finding parking can be a challenge in this area as always, so be prepared to search for street parking and walk from nearby. TLDR: In conclusion, Two Hands offers a picturesque setting and a charming experience, making it a great spot for special occasions and Instagram-worthy moments. However, the high prices and the balance between price and quality might make you think twice about returning. If you're willing to splurge for the ambiance and aesthetic, it's worth a visit at least once!

Two Hands. Some of the best food I've had in a while. The environment was refreshing and peaceful. I have to say if you decide to pop in, try the Taro Latte!
