Lunch time at caffè HABITŪ is always a good mid-week treat! Today I ordered the lunch special: Italian Gem which included pumpkin soup and a coffee. Pumpkin soup: Nice and hearty, great for winter! Temperature wise could have been hotter but consistency was just right, it was creamy enough Italian gem: All I could smell when it first arrived to our table was the aroma of the truffles, just smelt so good! The egg benedict itself was great, layer of rocket leaves, Parma ham, poached eggs with crea

Italian gem: All I could smell when it first arrived to our table was the aroma of the truffles, just smelt so good! The egg benedict itself was great, layer of rocket leaves, Parma ham, poached eggs with creamy Hollandaise sauce. Personally I like my Hollandaise sauce to be stronger in flavour, the punch in the sauce here seems a bit mellow. The dish was sided with potatoes and herbs; this tasted really good and thoroughly enjoyed it. Salad was alright could have made it a bit more special instead of just pouring balsamic vinegar... Or am I asking too much for $120??
A regular coffee came with the meal but because I'm absolutely in love with their Rose Latte the extra money was worth it! I always get tempted whenever I walk past any caffè HABITŪ to grab their Rose Latte because their just so god damn good! 20+ cups later within the past 2 years or so, I have confidence to say that there was no exception with this branch, best Rose Latte! Highly recommended! From any branch for this matter
My colleague ordered the deluxe breakfast, I'm normally a regular with this but decided to try something new. Won't say much, would only like to say this is worth a try as well
Atmosphere: Perfect if you want to have a good chat with friends, seats aren't cramped in like most urban cafes and its quite enough if you want to tuck into a book with a good cuppa =PValue for money: $120, bit pricy for lunch, but hey, you deserve a good treat once in a while!
Service: nice and polite, at least you don't have to suffer from a 'black face'
