'This decision was never easy but it was necessary': Habitat Coffee to shutter after 14 years, last day on June 30

Habitat Coffee is closing its doors after 14 years of operation, with their last day being June 30.

The popular, all-day brunch cafe announced their closure in an Instagram post on May 31, sticking to their minimalist industrial theme with "Till next time" written against the backdrop of a grey wall.

Another photo of a sole coffee cup on a windowsill shows the establishment's closing date.

In their caption, Habitat Coffee thanked their patrons "turned regulars" throughout the years, from their previous location at Upper Thomson to their current place at King George's Avenue, which they moved to in 2021.

"This decision was never easy but it was necessary as we, being a family run cafe, have decided to take a break and count our blessings," they added.

The post garnered farewell comments from patrons, other businesses and even a like from singer JJ Lin, who owns Miracle Coffee at the ArtScience Museum.

Nevertheless, Habitat Coffee shared that the closure did not mark a "full goodbye".

"You never know what the future brings and we may probably stick our heads out somewhere again to greet you," they added.
