I have been to The Habit more than a handful of times and it has to be one of my favorite coffee…read morespots in Thunder Bay. I love the quaint aesthetic and furniture, the ample seating, the friendly baristas, the inviting atmosphere, the drinks, and the baked goods. The croissants (Saturdays only) and the blueberry ginger loaf (gluten free) are TO DIE FOR. Seriously, so yummy, I didn't even know the loaf was gluten-free the first time I got it.. I would love to know the recipe! As for their drinks, I usually get an Americano which is consistently good. But I've also gotten a latte and mocha (made with real chocolate) before and they were also wonderful. Best of all, all proceeds from their sales go towards supporting the women's shelter. I love supporting this business.

What's extra cool is that it's inside a beautiful church with beautiful stained glass windows and the employees are actually volunteers who give their time and the profits go to the church to be used for the community (apparently they're building a youth community center in town). I don't go to church, but it was so peaceful being there. It's definitely an experience--not your typical coffeeshop visit. I wish we had a church-coffeeshop-bakery all in one where I live. My only complaint is, okay two actually: 1) have a plastic lid that covers your baked goods from the flies 2) please don't play the same playlist--even if it was pretty music--every day; I was there every day for a week and was almost going out of my mind, haha.

The cafe had better vibes for chatting rather than for working / studying. I was hoping there would be more of a baked goods selection (they seem to carry the Donut Run's baked goods sometimes), but when I got there later in the afternoon, there was only one type of cookie left and it wasn't very appealing to me. I ordered a decaf gingerbread latte (seasonal special) which, aside from being a little too sweet for my liking, was a good latte in other regards.

I didn't even know this place existed until Anlina suggested we go there a couple nights ago. I…read morehadn't lived in Thunder Bay for a bit and all of the old Seattle Coffee Houses have closed down for the most part. So I was very excited to see that the Thunder Bay tradition of very cozy coffee places where you could come and study, read or catch up with friends still existed. The waitress at the counter was very friendly and very professional. She told us that we could go sit down anywhere and she'd bring our drinks out to us. I ordered a vanilla cafe latte. It came out in a nice large mug and was really tasty, better than what I've had at Starbucks and Second Cup. They had a large selection of other hot drinks and cold drinks, and some tasty looking snacks on the counter (which I proudly managed to ignore this time around). I had a medium latte, which was priced around $3.50. The decor was very nice and relaxing. I loved the warm dark colors that made for a really nice, seclusive environment. My only complaint is that there were only three booths in which to sit at. All three were occupied when we arrived; two of which by one individual each. It'd be a lot nicer if they had a couple more booths on the opposite wall since I much preferred sitting at them than sitting at the individual tables. With really wide table-tops, it looks like an awesome place to go to get some work done without interruption. I'll definitely go back here next chance I get.

I like the big sofas and booths in the Arthur Street one. They do some lite food, such as tomatoe and cheese bagels. They have great coffee's. The cold drinks are super, and they let you choose your own syrup and make your own combinations of shakes. My favourite was banana and butterscotch. They are a bit more intimate than a starbucks.

The booth we were sat at was comfy, though it was right next to the back door which was used frequently. The service was quite good, they were very friendly and our food came out fairly quickly. For food I got the Brie and Chicken Sandwich with soup. The sandwich and soup itself was quite pricey at $18.00 without tax, but worth it. The sandwich was delightful, the Brie and chicken worked in perfect harmony to create a perfect savoury bite, while the spinach was a good background flavour and the apricot jelly was a perfect sweet addition. Pretty good size for a sandwich as well. The soup was also a delicious pairing. Overall I definitely recommend this place.

For food, I ordered the prosciutto gouda pretzel and tomato spinach roll. If I had to choose my favourite between the two it would be the pretzel - it was very crispy and definitely the best tasting pretzel I've had. If you prefer softer, chewier foods, you may like to tomato spinach roll more. Altogether the total was just over $21 with tax. Very reasonable portions and prices coupled with freshness and great taste - this is probably the best cafe I've been to including ones in Ottawa and Toronto. I'll be coming back if I visit Thunder Bay again!

Well where to begin..... Let's start with the good:…read more Has the vibe of a small town local cafe, as I was sitting a few "regulars" came in and we're greeted by name asked about their lives and even offered their "usuals". The prices are not bad ($4 for a regular cappuccino or latte and $4.50 for a "large" although after getting the regular I am scared to see how big that is) Now for the reason I am giving them a 1 star review If you're going to open a cafe do not and I repeat do not go to the department store and buy a $500 single boiler machine you will embarrass yourself when you try to serve more than 5 people per hour. Also please teach your baristas how to make the drinks you are trying to sell, if I ask for a regular latte I should not get a 16oz cup with a single shot of esprsso and the rest being what I can tell is 2% milk (cappuccino and lattes use 3.25% milk heated to around 140°F) over frothed even for a cappuccino although I asked for a latte.... Milk heated to around 100°F please get soem proper latte/cappuccino cups 8oz and teach your employees how to prepare the drinks (honestly I'll come and do it this is embarrassing) And telling people "use the wifi from subway next door" is just sad. Go buy a 200$ router and set up a public wifi.... But first let's get a dual boiler professional drink machine in this place. Overall unless the owner gets things together go across the street to the other coffee place it's much better.
