In the era of the laptop most
cafés are filled with people having meaningful heart-to-hearts with their
MacBooks. Not at Victoria’s Habit Coffee and Culture, an institution for
those seeking quality java and compelling dialogue. The local haunt was designed
for owner Shane Devereaux with discourse in mind: “A lot of people ask ‘Where
are the tables?’ but it actually seats about 45. The design is about communal
sitting; it’s about people relaxing together and conversing.” Chances
are a stop at Habit will have you bantering with someone new. Coupled with top-of-the-line,
ethically produced coffee, it won’t take long for Habit to become a habit.
