Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Old Habits Cafe leans heavily into its vintage theme, offering a nostalgic dining experience with decor spanning the 60s to 80s.

We think the ambiance is a significant draw, with many reviewers highlighting the old-school clocks, retro items, and classic game machines that create a calming and fun atmosphere.

The food, while generally described as 'decent' and 'gets the job done,' receives praise for its generous portions.

The Mushroom Soup, priced at $6.50, is frequently mentioned as a must-try, noted for its smoothness, strong truffle aroma, and rich, earthy flavour.

Other popular dishes include the Wagyu Beef Carbonara ($17.90) and the Simply Salmon ($16.90), which features a spicy belachan chili paste.

While the sirloin steak is appreciated for its medium-rare cook, some feedback suggests a sauce would improve it.

Service is noted as average, with staff sometimes inattentive even during less crowded periods.

Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a unique, retro-themed cafe experience with satisfying, large-portioned meals.

Verdict: Best for those who appreciate a strong nostalgic theme and hearty cafe fare; expect average service but good value for money.

Tried their sirloin steak, cooked nicely at medium rare — tender and enjoyable. That said, it would be great if they offered a sauce to go with it instead of just coarse salt, especially since the sal…
