Habitual Coffee

Almost everything went wrong with this much awaited visit. Firstly, website got the timing wrong - this place closes at 7pm, not 9pm. Secondly, I reached 7.05pm and they'd already shut off the coffee machine. Thirdly, they said kitchen was also closed and weren't even willing to give me cookies.Thankfully, I was offered their cold brew coffee, which was pretty good. And their wifi is good, so I was able to get some work done

I sinned. I committed a grave error. I did what a "would-be reviewer" should never commit... I expected.It happened (again) when we visited Habitual Coffee in Makati. We trooped there after reading glowing reviews, after listening to positive comments. Only to be disappointed... massively (I was with my Tita N. and my Vlogger cousin, Isabelle).We were impressed as we entered. The entrance and the counter and yes, the whole store have a certain character. But it was downhill from there.Two of the menu items we wanted were "out of the stock" (one is forgivable but two? Come on!). We settled for Grilled Cheese (how can you go wrong with grilled cheese?), Almond French Toast swimming (drowning?) in a plateful of maple syrup (why not renaming it Maple Syrup Toast?). And yes, the king of Habitual Coffee's Mistakes... the El Pogo Sausage Plate, that "organic, all-natural smoked classic sausage." That organic, all-natural pretense. That organic, all-natural blunder. Go on and judge it for yourself (of course, we might be wrong).Let's end this "review" with a letter:Dear Habitual Coffee, please put attentive, accommodating, knowledgable servers in place of the staff you have now who are inattentive, unaccommodating and clueless. And please, teach these people to be a little cheerful. A ray of sunshine won't cost you anything. I promise.Oh, PS... you do serve good coffee. But I think I will settle for coffee somewhere else. Good luck!

Tried their iced chocolate. Wish it could be richer. Not a coffee drinker but my friends seem to like to coffee here. They offered BOGO on International Coffee Day.Cookies are soft, but there's an after taste of coconut oil which I don't like.Got a Fig grilled sandwich to go and was still pretty good an hour later. The cheese they used was  gooey. Maybe less figs for me next time.
