Habitual Coffee

Heard a great deal about this place and it’s IG worthy branch in Makati. Really wanted to try the coffee if it was worth all the rave. So we decided to order: Vanilla almond for me, and hot flat white and hot mocha for my friends. First, the price range of our drinks were from 140-160 pesos. We’d expect to at least get a regular size but we we’re kind of disappointed when we saw how small it was. It was literally as big as a hot choco drink from Jollibee. I was hoping that they’d have the taste to compensate for this. The one I ordered, the vanilla almond, was good and had just the right amount of sweetness. It was the first time I’ve tried this kind of flavor. My friends however, absolutely did not like the fact that the flat white and mocha had no taste. It was almost like water. Again, this was our first time so we we’re not sure if this was how it was suppose to taste (so we apologize if we offended anyone). The size was small and I definitely had better. :(

Habitual Coffee is one of the third wave coffee shops that support the local coffee farmers. I was told that they get the beans from Benguet. I have tried the Makati branch before, so I went to this second branch at Uptown Mall this time. The owner was hands-on and very knowledgeable on what to type of coffee to offer based on what the customer likes. I had Cortado (PHP 140) to boost the day. This mix has more caffeine with less water and milk. With that, it had a strong and bitter taste but with a little texture of milk. Although it was a good coffee, I find the price too expensive for a small serving. It was just half the mini cup! I was surprised, really. It's not the "everyday coffee" for me.
