HABITAT COFFEE.

I honestly cannot believe how long it took me to try this amazing cafe that's so near to my home. It's literally a 10 minute walk away. I've been to quite a few cafes around the island, but always ended up giving Habitat a miss for some reason. I mean yeah, I have tried to go there before but I always ended up on the waiting list for at least a good 15 minutes, and by that time my friends and I would have found another spot to chillax at.

Since I got some well-deserved time off I decided I'd pop over with a friend of mine this afternoon, and for the first time, I wasn't put on a waiting list. We got the last two seats.

My friend ordered the Big Ben (part of their all day breakfast menu), while I just ordered some coffee - a hazelnut flavoured one. The coffee was pretty darn good to be perfectly honest. The only complaint I had was that it did take quite a while for our orders to arrive, but the waiter explained that it was because there was something wrong with the beans and they wanted to make sure it was just right before serving it to me. Very professional. You can tell the staff are not just there for your money, they're pretty dedicated.

I should probably give whoever's reading this a warning that their all day breakfast isn't served all day. It's only available till 5.30. That was one of the reasons why I didn't get to try Habitat once.

We then decided to share an Oreo cheesecake, which was also excellent. It was the best cheesecake I had had in a while, with the texture of the cream cheese being just right, and the ratio of the cheese to the cookie being just nice as well. It was definitely worth the calories that I had tried so hard to burn off over the past few days. I had juice for lunch yesterday. JUICE. While ordering the cake I took a few pictures of their dessert display and stuff. I really love the ambience and the atmospheres that cafes have. It's hard to explain but it's just great. The slow, jazzy music, the chatter of the people, the yellow lighting and the strong smell of freshly brewed coffee makes it feel so cosy.

Now that I've confirmed the awesomeness of the coffee and the dessert I shall be heading back there soon for more! For those of you who haven't tried it, it is a stop you mustn't miss while you're on your cafe-hopping adventures.
