I'm so glad I found Nectar Cafe! This place is great! Let me tell you why. I was in town to run a…read morerace called The Canyons 50K. The day before the race, I arrived in Auburn (my first time ever) to pick up my race bib and to look around to take in the local culture. I was also hungry after flying into Sacramento and driving another 45 minutes to Auburn. I'm vegan, so I searched for local places that offer vegan options. Nectar Cafe was at the top of the search results. As luck would have it, Nectar Cafe was just a short walk from where I parked my car, and just a short walk from the Start/Finish line of the race. Man... I am so glad this restaurant exists. The food and the service were great. I had the Southwestern Wrap and a brownie. I was so happy with this place that I knew I had to go back the following day after my race. And that's exactly what I did. The following day I had a BBQ Burger with their own house made patty. And this time I had even more dessert. All the desserts are vegan, and they are awesome! I tried all of them. The chocolate chip cookie, the brownie, and the chocolate mousse were delicious. I highly recommend Nectar Cafe. Really. I highly recommend them. I look forward to eating at Nectar Cafe the next time I'm in town.

I'm going to dream about the nachos I ate. And the bite of cauliflower tacos I stole from my friend. and the brownie I also stole from my friend. It all tasted so fresh and light which is not a word I would use to describe nachos, but it's the truth!! honestly my only note is just the kind of service. the food and vibe of the establishment feels much more suited to a dine-in wait-on type experience, but that's truly just a preference! I can't wait to come back with more friends so I can try the whole menu!!

My husband and I split the chicken salad sandwich and a date shake, and we ordered a large açaí bowl for the kids to share. It was definitely a little pricey, but everything was delicious. We ordered the large date shake, which was $15, açaí bowl was $20, and the sandwich was $18. The service was great, and they had plenty of crayons to keep the kids entertained while we waited. The kids loved their açaí bowl too. We will definitely come back the next time we're in town.

The honey loved his sandwich and my hummus+vegan tuna salad+carrots+cucumber box was amazing. It really hit the spot after having some trouble finding a veggie-based restaurant in the area. The service was friendly and they have quite a bit of outside seating out front and in back. The biggest issue are the kids items next door smell so if you're sensitive, either plan to sit indoors or take you items to-go.

They have fantastic gluten free sandwiches and coconut flour wraps. I chose the dealers choice because it all sounded so good and I made the right choice! They use soy free mayo too so if you have a soy allergy like me--you're in the clear! I will definitely be back after my next hike. It's the perfect way to unwind on the patio in the sunshine or shade. They also have the best nut based queso dip with clean ingredients. You'd never know it's not cheese and I'm a cheese fanatic! My friends love this store and make it a point to drive all the way from Sacramento to shop/eat here.

Flour Garden Bakery in Auburn has a bright, welcoming bakery-cafe atmosphere. When you walk in, you…read moreare greeted by large display case packed with handcrafted artisan breads, bagels, fresh-baked pastries, and custom-made cakes, alongside plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices. You will also see chalkboards and cases featuring their daily selection of fresh salads, homemade soups, sandwiches, and organic juices. As I was looking for a parking spot, I noticed one of my regulars is also a regular here. We were so happy to see each other. There we were pulling out our phones to show each other pictures of our kids. Since he was on his way out, we said our goodbyes do that I could get down to business... and pleasure my taste buds. First, I like the checkered floor. I feel like it adds to the playfulness of the atmosphere. The art on the walls was extraordinary. I couldn't help but study it. While Robb and Mimi were helping other patrons at the counter, it gave me plenty of time to look at their gorgeous creations. The custom made cakes and cupcakes made my eye twinkle. It brought back memories of when I used to be a cake decorator. It takes time and patience to create these masterpiece. The cakes cakes made with superior ingredients looked classic... Immediately, the giant German Chocolate cupcake caught my eye. One of those was definitely going home with me. Since it was early, I needed something more breakfast like to start with. If you're visiting in the morning or looking for a refreshing drink, they also feature an extensive fresh juice bar where they will blend combos on the spot. Robb was the person to help me. With a big smile, asked what I would like. I asked what was popular here because it was my first time. They said the almond breakfast cake was pretty popular. So Robb packed me up and I was on my way with both the Almond Bahar cake and giant German Chocolate cake! Robb even offered to warm up my almond cake for me! Thank you, Robb!!!! When I got home, both the German Chocolate cake and Almond Breakfast cake had some weight to them. With my first bite of the Almost Breakfast cake.. it was a warm beautiful bite... and exactly how I like my cakes... not too sweet, a little fruity, with a nutty taste. From the inside out, this breakfast cake was made insanely good. I loved the crumb topping. You know I had to take a bite of that German Chocolate cupcake... although it was breakfast time! Let's just say I definitely spoiled myself with this one. The cake was moist and with a deep cocoa flavor! The coconut-pecan frosting was creamy, a gooey goodness. It was a phenomenal contrast with the soft moist cake. I think I can taste that the pecans were toasted to add even more of a nutty flavor! Perfection! Someone here knows exactly what they're doing and I can't eat another German Chocolate cake from anywhere but here! In fact, hold on while I take another bite... I have not even touched the tip of the iceberg with this review on the cozy lunches that they offer. How exciting does it sound to be able to have lunch, and then get up and go pick a dessert after? Or enjoy a cinnamon twist with a fresh cup of brewed coffee? Pure bliss! Taste of heaven! Flour Garden Bakery makes me want to stop in everyday and try one of everything. The price ranges from moderate to slightly high... however, you can expect some of the best flavors in town coming from this delicious bakery. If you come by, you won't be disappointed!

This Greek yogurt bowl with granola, peanut butter, Nutella, banana, and topped with a waffle was actually a huge snack! We pulled into the Bel Air parking lot, which is crowded with other businesses. Many many places to park. We walked in on a rainy day and ordered 2 of these. They don't come in a small size, so we got the smallest size we could. A medium. The woman working was pleasant and smiley. She had great attitude and was happy to make our bowls. While she made our bowls, we noticed the chairs had already been put up. It was nice and clean and we tracked in water and left footprints... oopps. She was kind and said she didn't mind and thankfully, she had not mopped yet. There were small papers to color for St. Patricks Day! So we colored ours in a hurry until she finished. We took our bowls to the car and these were so delicious, we ate about half and saved the rest for when we got home. They were sweet, tart, and I like the crunchy texture with the granola with the creamy textures of everything else. 10/10 on that peanut butter bowl. You gotta try it!

Stopped here at around 1:20PM on a Sunday, and it was moderately busy…read more Really friendly staff, family owned (I think) and a good amount of seating inside. There is a bathroom that you must ask for a key to. Once 1:30 rolled around, I was excited to try my sandwich given the great reviews, then came 1:40, then 1:50, and I did not have my sandwich until around 1:55. I worked in a sandwich shop for 3 years, so I know sometimes a wait is unavoidable and can recall dealing with rude customers, so I did not approach the staff regarding the wait. They were trying their best to accommodate the orders. However-- 35 minutes for 2 sandwiches, I think, is a little excessive. In the end, my sandwiches were spectacular, genuinely well crafted, and met (maybe even surpassed) my expectations. When I got back to my car, I noticed the worker (owner?) gave me a full sandwich despite me ordering half. I wasn't sure if this was purposeful as means of saying "our bad", or just a mistake, but I will say it left me in better spirits. If you have some extra time to kill, with friends etc., this is a must try. However, if you are on ANY sort of time restriction, I would not recommend stopping here. I'm sure this is not always the case, but as a stop on a long drive, I did not consider an extra 45 minutes for a sandwich. If the owners are reading this, I truly mean well and hope you know a long wait is a sign of success. Growth is inevitable!

I have received a few gift cards to Panera and I finally used one (one that I got over a year ago,…read morelol.) This location here in Auburn is located off of highway 49 and Bell, next to McDonald's. Parking is very limited if you are trying to park right in front, but if you don't mind the walk, there is plenty everywhere else. I like that there is an option for outdoor seating and that there is a drive thru available... which I have never used. It is probably convenient if you use the Panera app, where you can earn points on every order you make on it. On my visit, the gift card I was given was malfunctioning while I was trying to use the self serve computers where you can put an order in yourself. So I had to wait a few minutes for the employee cleaning to come back. It was malfunctioning for them a well and it needed to be put in manually. There were 3 team members that helped us and it was all pretty confusing. After we ordered a bread bowl of Mac & Cheese with extra bacon and a Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel Stack... we sat at a clean table and waited a short time. At the pick up window (inside), there are condiments and pasticware available if you think you need them. The registers and pick up window inside were separated by walls from the dining room. I got a few bites of the Mac & Cheese. It was not mushy like I imagined. It was good. The chicken bagel stack was really delicious, but kind of all over the plate. The spring mix was spread out on the plate and I had to put it inside the bagel sandwich. The dressing in it meshed so well with all the flavors. There was also cheese inside, but some of the ingredients didn't spread out over the bagel enough... for example, the tomatoes were pretty small. Overall, delicious food, clean location, and service was great when I needed help with the malfunctioning gift card. Just when I thought there was nothing I liked here at Panera... along came the Bagel Stacks. Steak was recommended to me, but I am more of a chicken kinda gal.
