I've been to Habitat Cafe a fair few times now but today's visit was the first since I started yelping (cue me snapping away at any opportunity!)
Today was just mum and I, mother daughter bonding, taking a wee trip down memory lane as its Feldy (Aberfeldy to the rest of the world!) where I went for my 5/6th year at high school. Sadly Habitat wasn't open way back then, that's maybe a good thing mind you as I doubt I'd have made many classes if it was!
Set in the main square, Habitat has a lovely warm, welcoming feel to it. Greeted straight away upon entrance we had the choice of a few tables but lucky for us, the leather sofa was free so we nabbed that!
Menus arrived promptly and with lots of choice but I already knew what I wanted...a flat white (Australia you have a lot to answer for!) and the banana cake I'd spied on the way to our table! Mum opted for an Americano and a slice of pumpkin and caraway cake. The cakes arrived straight away and the coffees soon after (oh I should mention that they feature in the Scottish Independent Coffee Guide so you know the coffee will be gooood!).
What can I say, the coffee was on the money! Strong and hit the spot! Both cakes tasted good, my only slight criticism is for the buttercream icing on top which would have benefited from an extra minute or two's beating but I'm being realllly picky here.
Staff were all pleasant and chatty but importantly, I got the feeling they all loved their job! We even got comparing our favourite coffee hotspots in Glasgow, I say compare, but it was more of a mutual agreement lol.
Lovely afternoon all in, and somewhere I make a point of visiting when I'm in the area.
Oh and also worth mentioning is that on hotter days they have tables and chairs outside and they are in prime location for a spot of people watching! ;-) read more
