One of my favourite Victoria coffee establishments is Habit. Their newer location in the Atrium Building is nice and always busy, but I still love their original shop, just a couple blocks from us, on Pandora Avenue: great coffee and snacks, beautiful art on the walls, awesome selection of magazines to read and purchase, cozy windows seats from which to watch the city. Both locations offer an authentic local experience and dedication to their craft.

The hot chocolates and triple chocolate cookie are obvious in their deliciousness, but don't be fooled by the plain look of that muffin: lemon, lavender and wild blueberry – just divine!
