My New Favorite Work Spot: Good Habits Coffee (SM Seaside)

You know that rare moment when you stumble upon a place that just clicks? That’s exactly what happened when I found Good Habits Coffee at SM Seaside.

Located on the Upper Ground Floor near Lemon Grass, this café is now officially my go-to spot when I need to get work done without getting distracted by chismis, loud music, or intense Mobile Legends battles at the next table.

Why I Love This Place

As a Virtual Assistant, I’m always on the hunt for a coffee shop that’s quiet enough for deep focus but comfy enough for a long tambay session. Good Habits? Sakto kaayo.

✔ It’s peaceful. Dili samok, walay saba nga mag-meeting murag call center, walay sudlay-sudlay challenge nga murag TikTok studio.

✔ Big open space with natural light. Their café is right next to huge windows, so even though they don’t have Wi-Fi, my mobile data works smoothly. I’ve worked here for 2-4 hours straight without interruptions.

✔ Friendly staff. I even left my stuff on the table for a quick restroom break, and wala jud gi-kawatan. In fact, they even watched over my things—true MVPs.

✔ They have non-coffee drinks! Since I don’t drink coffee (yes, shocking, I know), I was so happy to see a menu that actually had delicious non-coffee options.

✔ Lami ilang lasagna. I was expecting the usual so-so lasagna, pero this one? Cheesy, saucy, and comforting AF. Perfect if gutom na ka pero dili pa ka ready mo-commit to full rice meals.

Drinks & Food: What to Order?

Okay, now let’s talk about the real reason we’re all here—food & drinks.

☕ If You Love Coffee:

• Iced Americano – Para sa mga ganahan ug strong ug bitter (same sa imong ex).

• Iced Seasalt Cloud – Brown sugar latte + sea salt cream? Mura kag gi-hug sa kalami.

• Iced Matcha Cloud – Matcha with a creamy top? Chef’s kiss.

🍵 For Non-Coffee Drinkers Like Me:

• Iced Chocolate – Thick, creamy, and not too sweet.

• Matcha Latte – Smooth and earthy, sakto kaayo kung feel nimo mag-inarte gamay.

• Fruit Teas – Light and refreshing, perfect pang-thirst trap.

🍽 For When Gutom Hits Hard:

• Lasagna – Cheese overload. Saucy, meaty, and comforting. 10/10 would eat again.

• Chocolate Chip Cookie – Dako, chewy, worth every calorie.

• Basque Burnt Cheesecake – Light but rich, perfect for emotional eating.

So, if you see me here, pretending to work while actually scrolling through Shopee… let’s just keep that between us, okay? 😆☕🍵
