@habitatcoffee has moved from it's Upper Thomson locale over to Lavender. Geez, it has been so many years since my visit to their previous location - 7 years to be exact. Good lawd.

Their new locale boasts a clean look with a mix of wooden and concrete features. It's definitely more spacious compared to their previous location with a cleaner aesthetic. The counter area kinda reminds me exactly of the one from Prairie by Craftsmen - with a light blue shade, coffee machine on the left and dessert kiosk on the right.

The menu has definitely evolved since my last visit years ago but retaining the concept of all day brunches. I immediately eyed their Stuffed Berries Hotcake - with stuffed cream cheese, mixed berries, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds and crushed walnuts. I'm a sucker for sweets and the word hotcake enticed me to no end.

If you ever had the hotcakes from the McDonald's breakfast menu, well this was definitely similar - but on steroids. (In a good way of course.) Drenched in maple syrup, the different range of textures from the hotcake to the seeds and walnuts actually worked together harmoniously and I just couldn't stop eating it. The only thing missing was some ice-cream!
