I love this coffee shop!
I went here with a friend for a cappachino, and it was wonderful. Top notch espresso, yummy snacks, and cool location. I'll be back often! -

Great coffee shop. Nice selection of coffee and tea and snacks... very Victoria kind of place with a selection of vegan options too.
I figured I might as well try to find the hippie/earthy part of me (so not there!) and ventured to have my first vegan cookie here... nasty! Give me a butter and milk/chocolate laden cookie any day! That being said, the coffee was excellent and nice atmosphere overall. -

I'm glad we swung by today to grab coffee before heading to the ferries to go home. This place totally reminds me of Revolver in Gastown; a caffeine joint of hipsters, by hipsters, for hipsters. In short if you're not cool, don't bother coming. At least that's how I interpreted the look I got from the barista when he overheard me asking my husband "it's $3.75 for this size cappucino?". FYI, cool people do not ask about prices. They just quietly sip their coffee, nod, and walk away, looking cool.
Yes, the cappucino only comes in one size (at least that's the conclusion we came to because they didn't bother asking HB what size). A teeny, tiny size. Fit perfectly in the palm of my hand and everyone who know me also know I have freakishly small hands. But oh so awetastic and satisfying. The perfect cappucino. I only wished they gave me more for how expensive it was. But hey, that's the price for great coffee (which I'm assuming is also fair-trade, organic, hand-picked, shade-grown and hipster-made.. factors that drive the price up so much). Not complaining (too much), it was the perfect start to my flu-tastic day. -

Being a Victoria native who has moved east, I was pleasantly surprised to find this place on a recent trip back home.
The floor to ceiling windows and their advantageous corner location make this an excellent place to sit and watch the world go by. To top that off, their espresso and baked goods selection are great, something that I've always felt Victoria could use more of.
Definitely tops on my list when I'm looking for a good cup whenever I'm in town. -

I have been to Habit at atrium twice now and I am quite impressed. My first visit I got a simple vanilla latte (it has become my drink of choice for "testing the waters", as it were), which was very good and nicely balanced between the sweet and bitter, (chains tend to overdo the syrup, indies tend to underdo) and I finished the drink without having to push myself.
My second visit, I got a french press and a muffin for breakfast. The muffin was amazing, a kind of carrot and fruit muffin which I forget the name of. The french press was pretty good, though the flavour was not really what I prefer in a roast. Though, as odd as it sounds, the coffee did have the best after-taste I have experienced. A more umami flavour (if that makes any sense) rather than the usual sour aftertaste I normally get from drip.
The shop itself is extremely nice. Floor to ceiling windows surround the cafe, looking both out onto the street and back into the atrium of the building.
I really liked habit and it has been added to my list of go to coffee shops. -

The second location of Habit Coffee and Culture in Victoria. One of the best coffee places in a town with some might fine coffee places. The floor to ceiling windows make it a great place to sit, have a coffee and watch the world race by. Go, enjoy, have a coffee!
