Habitat Coffee Upper Thomson Brunch Review

Birthday boy was craving some poached eggs so it was a good opportunity for us to try the brunch menu at Habitat Coffee. Usually dining here on weekdays meant I could finally experience the weekend crowd here. I have written about their non-brunch food here Habitat Coffee Review and also provided their menu here Habitat Coffee Upper Thomson Menu

Life takes you unexpected places, love brings you home. 

The place was packed when we arrived at 3pm. Managed to get a table for 2 at the upstairs area which I felt was quite squeezy. Luckily the table next to us left after awhile and we gladly combined tables for a more breathable time. 

The Big Ben with poached egg 

Though their selection isn't very wide, I think quality is the most important factor coupled with good prices. I find the Big Ben very affordable at $14 for a hearty set that comes with a juicy sausage, ham, baked tomato, english muffin and potato pancakes. The set comes with scrambled eggs but I opted to switch to one poached egg, for no additional charge. The potato pancakes were delicious and probably healthier than the usual hashbrowns. I was very pleased with the portion of the set which was just right. Their special homemade hollandaise sauce is also very good with a more runny texture which I really liked.

Waffle Sunrise with extra mushrooms

The next choice I made was the Waffles Sunrise because it's a wonderful combination of both sweet and savoury aspects of breakfast. Getting to eat one bite of scrambled eggs, and then the next bite of waffles with maple syrup is the best way to enjoy food. The eggs were abit tasteless on their own but when eaten with the homemade hollandaise sauce, it becomes a star party in the mouth. I added on an extra side of sauteed mushrooms, though I was abit disappointed because I prefer white button mushooms to shitake mushrooms.

 For drinks, we ordered a delicious caramel iced coffee and iced chocolate. Haven't yet mastered the art of making a picture of iced coffee look nice so I shall not include them. You have to try their coffee to know how good it is.

Happy Birthday ! 

 Sat beside this piece of art so I snapped a picture of it. Dear coffee, I love you, and I love many other things too.

Habitat Coffee Brunch Review

Overall I'm very pleased with the price and quality of the brunch at Habitat Coffee. They have never failed me in terms of their food or drinks. The coffee is especially commendable as they manage to bring out the flavor of the coffee without overpowering it with any additional flavors I choose such as Caramel which usually tends to turn out too sweet in many places. Definitely worth the slight crowded-ness of the weekend.
