Two Hands Tribeca
Sydney café culture on Church Street — flat whites, toasted banana bread and avocado toast.
Australians changed how New York does breakfast — the flat white, the long café lunch, avocado on good toast — and Two Hands is one of the brands that did it. The Tribeca outpost on Church Street is an all-day café that runs from breakfast through dinner, with cocktails in the evening.
Come in the morning for a flat white and the banana bread, toasted and buttered, or the avocado toast. Açaí bowls and big brunch plates carry the afternoon; the menu changes with the seasons. It is Sydney's café culture rather than outback cooking, which is exactly what most Australians abroad are homesick for.
