(habitcoffee.com) – Chinatown neighborhood of Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

How I heard of this place: When we told our once-local friend that we were headed to his hometown for the weekend, he suggested two coffee shops. This one was right down the street, and immediately became our first stop.

Type of cuisine: Focus on coffee;
Ambiance: “Habit Coffee’s original location in opened January of 2007 on the doorsteps of Fan Tan Alley, and it quickly became a hub for people who enjoy connecting with friends and the local community.
Rustic and hand-built by friends and family,
you’ll find works from local artists on the wall,
an event board keeping you on top of what’s going on and a big rack of cool magazines to flip through while you drink your coffee.“
What I ordered: An iced mocha (with a touch of vanilla, their only additional flavour) for me and one for my husband ($6 each).
What I loved: The intricate, slightly sweet, perfectly smooth coffee and real chocolate.
Why I loved it: Outside of baristas that are full with an err of pretentiousness and unwilling to be helpful, nor pleasant in their interactions, the space is quite unique, the seating cool andhomemade, and the coffee certainly worth a return trip.
Cost: Average (CAD $3 – CAD $5 per espresso beverage)
