"Amazing cafe with awesome ambience. We stopped by to have breakfast on the way to our day tour.
The egg scrambles were yummy .. blended with bacon done to perfection and cheese and topped with crème frache and avocados.
Combined with a side of the house breads and croissant, we had the perfect breakfast!"

"Absolutely loved this cafe. We had an amazing lunch (pulled pork and mozarella sandwich) and the latte I ordered was good. I loved the fun tables with swing chairs and the servers were very kind. I would definitely come back."

"I stopped by Two Hands for breakfast and ordered the avocado multigrain toast with bacon, lettuce, and a soft-boiled egg, paired with an Americano. The dish was tasty, with fresh ingredients and a well-cooked egg, but the portion felt disappointingly small for the price. The Americano was a letdown, arriving lukewarm rather than hot. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating with table service, and its location is convenient—just a 5-10 minute walk from Chapel Bridge and our hotel in Old Town. While the restaurant and service were pleasant, the high price for small portions and the lackluster coffee means I won’t be back."
