Habitual Coffee Salcedo Village

Their coffee matcha latte were subpar at best. It was incredibly bland nothing exciting. It was definitely a watered down matcha. We also tried two of their dishes since the reviews were pretty good, nothing special either.

The best flat white in Manila. The only café that serves it with oat milk. On top of that, they roast their coffee right in the shop, so you can enjoy the delightful aroma. Plus, it's a great spot to work as they offer unlimited and speedy wifi. The temperature inside the café is just right, creating a perfect environment for you to concentrate and get your work done.

Pretty good black Americano coffee and everything is freshly roasted as they have a roasting machine on premises! A great place for casual hangouts and working outside.

This may sound weird but there are days when I actually crave for Habitual’s katsu curry more than anything else and today was one of those days. Always happy with the food. Their menu is simple but crave worthy. The steak and eggs was simple and good enough to satisfy a craving.The lemon meringue cupcake was good, although a bit dry. As for the coffee- tried their holiday drink with earl grey and it was a winner. Probably my favorite drink now! Do note however, that since the space is cozy, just expect to have the smell of food on your clothes and hair. On weekends, there are usually tables outside.

Yes, it was lovely coffee but after having visited some of the beautiful beaches in the Philippines and seeing how many bottles and single use plastic there is washed up on them, I was shocked to find that EVERYTHING was served in single use plastic and thrown away. What surprised me even more is that they had a sign saying to use reusable cups to help reduce plastic, yet my iced coffee came with 4 separate plastics. Even the food was served with a plastic knife and fork. For such a nice coffee place this was a huge disappointment. I mentioned this to the staff (as they had the sign) and they said it was because of covid, personally, I am not sure and thought it was because they didn’t want to wash up. We also had to ask for our food twice as staff were just on their phones and not really paying attention. If I had previously known I would not have gone here.
