Two Hands
2681 Howell St, Dallas, TX
Crema's Take
“This uptown spot is a vibrant gathering place where expertly pulled cortados meet colorful, generously portioned brunch bowls layered with fresh ingredients and bold spice—think harissa-kissed chicken and crispy Brussels sprouts that justify the buzz. The energy is contagious (especially on weekends when the people-watching alone is worth the visit), and while service can be leisurely, it feels intentional rather than rushed, giving you time to linger over pastries and specialty drinks with friends. Whether you're after a carefully crafted coffee or a supercharged cava-inspired bowl, Two Hands in Uptown delivers memorable, thoughtfully composed food in an atmosphere that celebrates community and good company.”

Memorable food and experience! Came here with a group of 4 plus a baby, it was family friendly and the portions are big for sharing! The food was delicious but I have to say the service was slow! We could have consumed more coffee and drinks, but our server never came back to check on us. The place was packed so understandable, will come back soon as I loved the area and it’s very walkable + toddler friendly!!
Finally made it to Two Hands in Uptown, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is fantastic—it was busy on a Saturday, which made for great people watching. The highlight for me was the cortado; it was perfectly pulled, strong, and served in a proper Gibraltar glass. On the food side, the Harissa Bowl was amazing and full of flavor, and the sourdough toast with butter and jam was the perfect "simple done right" treat. The portions are a great size, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I’ll definitely be back soon to check out their Happy Hour—the burger is already calling my name! Pro-tip on parking: You can find spots on the street or park in the Quadrangle garage, which the restaurant validates for two hours.
Great food and serves. Luis was very attentive. The bowls were a supercharged cava experience. The Brussel sprouts were tasty. The Fries were also great but I would do them without the chili oil and substitute for parm. The coffee was delicious 😋 it’s a great brunch spot! Reservations recommended
Two Hands was my first foray into the culinary options available at The Quad in Uptown. The food was fresh with layers of flavors and textures. My chicken harissa bowl had the right amount of spice. The service was thoughtful and friendly. Xita timed the courses perfectly for us. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming. It was a bit loud for conversation with a full lunchtime crowd. I’ll definitely come back to try their brunch menu!
Honestly one of the best brunch spots by far in dallas in my opinion. I met with my friend and we ordered the brunch bowls, which had a good amount of veggies and meat; just a colorful bowl of healthiness, tastefulness, and nutrients. We also got lattes-their drinks are pretty amazing. And of course we had to try their desserts. Everything was so good. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town. Great place for small or large groups. Till then, let’s eat and sip!
