Review: Habitu


If you're looking for a spot to relax after browsing and buying books at Eslite Bookstore, Hysan Place, Habitu is a good choice as it is accessible from the bookstore. Offering a mix of wholesome food and unique drinks, this cafe provides a serene escape from the busy Causeway Bay area. Among their offerings, the beetroot latte and kale salad stand out as some of the only vegan options they have.

The beetroot latte offers a unique, vibrant twist on the traditional latte experience. Its striking pink hue is visually appealing, and the subtle earthy sweetness of the beetroot compliments an oat milk base well. There is a pleasing balance without the bitterness of coffee, making it a great caffeine-free alternative. However, the flavour might be an acquired taste if you're not used to beetroot's natural richness. 

The kale salad is a refreshing and nutritious choice. The kale is fresh and crisp, balanced by a variety of toppings that add texture and flavour. Depending on the daily menu the toppings include an array of vegetables and nuts with a tangy vinaigrette. It's a satisfying, healthy option that pairs well with the beetroot latte. 

Together the beetroot latte and kale salad make for a wholesome, health-conscious meal in a cozy, relaxing setting at Habitu. Perfect for a quick break while exploring Eslite.
