My new favorite spot at the Domain. Awesome coffee, food, mimosas, and the staff is great!

Stopped in yesterday for the first time– Best pour-over coffee I’ve had! Also enjoyed a Salty Oat cookie from Quack’s bakery in Hyde Park(central Austin), which nearly made me cry with nostalgia, since I used to live two blocks south of Quacks, and have loved those cookies for 15 years(but haven’t had one in 10 years…). Two Hands has a really nice open and light atmosphere with lots of comfortable seating. Its welcoming and warm without being a dark noisy cave like the big-chain coffee house we all know about… I’ll definitely be back!

I live in the domain so it’s such a short walk to grab some of the best coffee. Management and staff are very kind. They even offer beer and wine for those evenings when needed.

Amazing place! Until they opened, I cannot say I had found a local coffee shop in my neighborhood(North Austin) that was not a Starbucks. Great atmosphere and I especially love that they acknowledge their customers: they recognize you and actually check up on you. I also love that they have a quiet area with no speakers, something other places definitely lack. A great place to get a good cup of coffee(they have great almond milk lattes!!) and get work done or have a conversation with a friend without the need to yell. I also appreciate that their coffee is fair trade and that they recycle! No Styrofoam here! I have definitely found my local coffee shop!

This place is awesome. Great coffee and drinks(chai latte specifically is delicious) plus they serve Fricano’s deli sandwiches all day! They sell out of the good ones fast so make sure to come early! Nice outdoor seating as well and all the workers are super nice. Love it!

Had the potential to be great and embrace the dog friendly atmosphere that is the Domain(home of Dogtoberfest). Wedged between 3 super dog friendly apartment complexes, a 9 acre dog park, 97 high end dog friendly stores, and a Starbucks 2 blocks away that doesn’t mind if you wait in line with your dog. I can shop in any store with my dog but no dogs at Two Hands Coffee. Their excuse? «The food that’s in the display case isn’t wrapped up.» Yet Starbucks has the same set up.

Goodbye Starbucks; I’ve moved onto Two Hands. I’ve been waiting for the Domain to open a local coffee shop, and it’s finally here! I came here with my boyfriend on opening day and we were both impressed by their coffee. The baristas were a bit confused when making my latte, but since it was opening day, it was understandable. Their pastries are from a local bakery and super delicious. I grabbed the sugared cinnamon roll and it taste a lot better than Starbucks’ variation(morning bun). The only negative was that they didn’t have a to-go container. Trying to balance my pastry on a plate while making sure my dog wouldn’t pull me was a struggle…

Finally, a quality cup of coffee in North Austin(The Domain). I had to either go downtown or to Houndstooth(Midtown) to get a decent cup of coffee in this city. Great staff. Friendly. Good prices. Great vibe. The owner sat and got to know me for 20 minutes while he was super busy. Definitely a community place.

Awesome new coffee shop in the Domain! It’s a new business, but it doesn’t show at all. The space is large, bright, and airy. Generally quiet, so it’s the perfect study space, but the noise from few chatty tables seemed to disappear in the space below the tall ceilings. The staff are incredibly cheerful, welcoming, and attentive. They never stop moving, and despite the crowds, they manage to crank out orders quickly and accurately. The coffee itself is sourced directly from Nicaragua, where the owner himself traveled and hand-picked the beans. They also offer a selection of cold-pressed juices and beers. Two Hands is open every day from 8am-8pm, and until 10pm on Tuesday-Sunday. The food and drink are top notch quality. The staff are wonderful. If you’re looking for a quiet and open coffeeshop to study, a small meeting place, or an unassuming beer, this is your place!

What can I say about two hands! It’s so BEAUTIFUL. The attention to detail is so thoughtful and the quality of the product is outstanding! Talking with Aamil the owner is so fun he is kind and so knowledgable! He has a passion for his products and even gives back to some of the farmers! He has 6 tap handles of all craft beer and a list of fresh juices which is perfect for someone like me who doesn’t love coffee as much as my Boyfriend does! They even have happy hour Monday-Friday -$ 1.00 draft beer… I’m in heaven! Keep up the great work Two Hands! We will be back :)

This wonderful little place is a short walk from my job. I braved the cold and wind this morning and walked over and I’m so glad that I did. I love this place! First, it is nestled in the growing avenue of Rock Rose and I’m so excited to see what else is coming. If the quality and ambiance of Two Hands is any example of what is coming then they are on point 100%. I decided to order two items just to get a sample of their menu. I ordered a Mixed Greens Juice and a Chai Tea Latte. The Chai is delicious, just the right amount of spice, it was the perfect temperature and blows the socks off any I can remember. The Mixed Greens Juice is really good, really fresh and flavorful. The prices are not too bad, the Chai was $ 4 and the Mixed Greens was $ 7. I noticed that they had a nice offering of salads and sandwiches on their menu. They also offer an assortment of baked goods. Their drinks menu has plenty to choose from and I am excited to keep trying it all out. The best part for me was the service. The owner and the sweet lady at the counter were both welcoming, friendly and talkative. They made me feel like I wanted to stay and have a chat with them. Anyone that chooses to go to the Starbucks a few streets over is out of their mind. This place has everything a coffee place could offer. The interior was inviting and well decorated. Nothing about Two Hands feels generic. It is a perfect addition and I can’t wait to go back!

Another great establishment open in the new Rock Rose area of the Domain. Two Hands Coffee has something to offer at any time of the day. Most days of the week they are open from around 7−10pm. In the morning, it could be a fresh blended juice made in house. Lunch, sandwiches and/or salad by Fricanos Deli with a coffee. In the afternoon, tea by Mighty Leaf, with a pastry by Quack’s. After work, a local beer on tap or wine by the glass. The seating area is spacious and bright. They have a few outside tables to sit at as well. The seating is comfortable, and with free wifi great for students or those working remotely(no password necessary). This is the first coffee place that I am aware of in the domain area that specializes in pour overs and organic coffee beans from Nicaragua. They have a partnership that pays local farmers fairly. There are two different medium roast coffee beans you can choose from. One is more fruity, and the other more chocolate and nutty in flavor(El Capitan). Both are delightful and well done. They blend the two for the espresso. The green juice here is legit. It is definitely heavy on the greens, and not sweetened, just like l like it. They are working on getting some gluten free pastries, currently they offer a coconut macaroon that is wheat free. It was very filling, and good. The staff are friendly and do their best to keep up with the orders. They do also have drip coffee for those that like it the American way.

Located in the new phase 3 development of the Domain, this coffee shop is a great addition to the shopping center. The Rock Rose area has a different look and atmosphere than the rest of the Domain and Two Hands Coffee is a perfect fit. The ambiance is inviting and the staff is very friendly and helpful. On my first visit two of the staff members introduced themselves and made an effort to get to know me. Not only is the coffee superb, but they also offer beer and juices. The juices are made on the spot using local fruit and vegetables. This was the perfect place to get some work done as well. This may change if the place becomes more popular though. If the service and products remain as good as I experienced, there’s no doubt that the business will continue to grow.

I don’t usually like to give 5 stars but really liking the start to this place! Friendly counter staff, comfortable varied seating indoors and out. Looks to possible have semiprivate conference room also. Oh, main thing very good coffee and varieties at resonable prices. What else to say, clean, coffee alternative to the area. Steady flow of people but not crowded. Lots of outside seating also. I’m rambling as the coffee is taking effect and the sun is trying to break through the gray sky. Surely to be a great day thanks to Two Hands! Free WiFi also.

The Domain in Austin offers a variety of stores to shop, places to eat, and things to do. However, the location does little to offer for coffee other than Starbucks, the Steeping Room and restaurant coffee. Until now Two Hands Coffee is a coffee shop my girlfriend, who already posted a review that is probably more insightful and enjoyable to read, recommended to me(by that I mean forced to tag along). The shop sits on Rock Rose ave, a hidden road that will be filled with new stores in the Domain. At first glance upon the minimal yet appealing décor, I knew I was in for a treat. I took my gf and two sisters to try this place out. We ordered two vanilla iced lattes, a special Juice(I forget the name but I remember the price of $ 7) and a hot latte for about $ 20, fairly priced! I noticed that their bakery options are from Quacks, which is a local bakery near me that I often enjoy a pie or two. Coffee was good and to everyone’s liking, but most importantly the juice apparently made my sister feel healthier within 5 minutes of drinking it. Wow The vast interior and high ceilings give an open, relaxed vibe to the shop. Order your drinks/food, get handed a number and find a relaxing seat next to their huge window or a nice table with friends and a few minutes later someone will come out and bring your order to you. First time I’ve experienced this in a coffee shop! Upon leaving, the manager/owner(i’m not too sure) came up to greet and thank us for our visit! An extremely nice gesture that gave me the extra push to declare this neat coffee shop as my new go-to coffee shop outside of home!

I live in the Domain area, so when I heard about this new Coffee Shop opening up I decided I had to try it. I have to say this is the BEST coffee you’ll find in Austin. I tried their Vanilla Latte, Cappuccino, Chai Latte, Paradise(juice), and Mighty Greens(juice). I’ve been everywhere in Austin(Summermoon, Houndstooth, Caffe Medici, Beware, Radio Coffee, Sister Coffee, etc), and Two Hands is my favorite by far. Not only is the coffee great, but the environment & ambiance are great as well. Would encourage anyone and everyone to try this place! Definitely get one of the juices as well, the two I tried were delicious!

I had to check out Two Hands as one of the first businesses to open in the Domain’s Rock Rose district. They offer a range of juices, coffee, wine, and beer on tap. I ordered a hot latte, and tried an iced vanilla latte as well. I enjoyed both — definitely one of the best iced vanilla lattes I have tasted! I did ask for my latte in a to-go cup because I like my coffee to stay hot and was not given one, but that’s not a big deal. The location is beautiful inside and out — I love the minimalist interior and the comfortable seating. It definitely would be an awesome place to study or get work done, and there are large windows for a bright atmosphere. Interesting that the coffee was delivered to our table directly, rather than called out at the bar — I am wondering how this will work during busy hours but it definitely made an impression. The owner approached us as we left to introduce himself and let us know he was thankful that we dropped by on opening day which was nice. I also read online that Two Hands reserves a percentage of what they spend on coffee to go straight back to the farmers — much respect! I would come here again to support the business in the future.

Nice new spot with good pour over coffee and food. Serve local beer and wine too. coffee is all fair trade and they have sandwiches and pastries too. Park in the garage and walk over if you’re visiting the domain.

This place has a wonderful ambiance, not to mention excellent coffee and juices! The staff was super friendly and attentive. It is right next to the new Tarka in the Domain.
