    Spicy Tuna Sandwich
    Lauren P.

    The Healthy Habit is a simple and fresh eatery where you can get a variety of breakfast, lunch, fresh juices, acai, or coffee items. You order at the counter and they'll bring you your food. The food tastes fresh and healthy. I ordered The Terry's Garden salad (mixed greens, tomatos, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage and sunflower seeds) and added chicken, which came to $19. I would've liked a little more chicken to make the salad feel heartier. I was still hungry after eating it. My husband got their Spicy Tuna sandwich, and he enjoyed the flavor & textures. For $15, I wish they had added a little bag of chips on the side, a pickle, or something small to complement the sandwich. Overall, I will definitely come back to try more food items as well as their fresh juices!

    Choco Açaí Bowl
    Liz C.

    Came here for a quick, healthy meal after a weekend of skiing. The menu looked great, though definitely overpriced for what you're getting. I decided on the Choco Açaí Bowl since it seemed like the best value. I ordered last after my two friends, and we grabbed a table outside, which was a nice setup on a gorgeous sunny day. My friends got their sandwiches first, and about 10 minutes later, the waiter brought out their smoothies, apologizing for the wait. At this point, it should've been obvious that the third person at the table (me) was still waiting on food, but no effort was made to check on my order--especially frustrating since the place wasn't busy (only about two other customers). By the time my friends finished eating, I still had nothing, so I went inside to check. The cashier looked surprised and said, "Oh, they haven't brought you your food yet?" then quickly grabbed what seemed like a pre-made to-go order of my açaí bowl--despite my request to dine in. At that point, I had to eat on the road since I didn't want to hold up my friends. Getting your order forgotten is one of the worst dining experiences--frustrating, inconvenient, and honestly humiliating. Definitely disappointing service, and given the price point, I expected much better. Wouldn't return.

    I've been to the healthy habit twice now and I've thoroughly enjoyed it!! I've gone with my friends both times after we went hiking in Auburn. It is the perfect healthy meal after a good workout. I've had two of their sandwiches but last time my friend and I split the BLAT and it was amazing and perfectly messy! The acai bowl is great. I highly recommend the strawberry banana smoothie it tastes so good. The service is wonderful and the place itself is adorable sitting inside or outside!

    The North Shore with peanut butter
    Will P.

    So here's the deal: the açaí is good, big, and loaded with toppings. I got the North Shore with peanut butter on top, which was exactly what I wanted, fruity, savory, and filling. But you're gonna have to take out a loan to get this bowl- mine was almost $20. This is the cost of a close and delicious post-hike snack. The kids working here are nice, even though it can take a while to get what you ordered. I've been before and it's taken a half hour. I sat outside on their cute little patio and looked out at Lincoln Way, which is this small town's main street. Definitely worth it. Until next time, happy trails.

    Drinks, sandwiches, garden courtyard- lots of choices, healthy choices!

    Just a short stop here for a hot Chai Tea and a strawberry lemonade.... Great menu- full of choices Breakfast, lunch, açaí bowls, snacks Coffee, tea, many other beverages and "extras" Loved the patio Service was friendly though slow, but the drinks were really good. Great FRESH lemonade- tasted good and tart; Chai tea was frothy and a nice blend of spices.

    The Blue Dream Bowl

    This place is my favorite in Auburn. Great people, service, and the food is AMAZING. Great healthy options to accommodate everyone's needs. Definitely recommend!!!

    Grilled tuna.  Meh
    David C.

    Well, it was ok. The good news is I didn't over eat. Sorry, I don't think this was a $14.75 sandwich. It was ok, but nothing special. I understand inflation, but this seems way overpriced for what I got. The other person with me said their bread was stale. Not real thrilled.

    The Blue Dream bowl
    Jordan L.

    The healthy habit was a perfect find! The turkey club was fantastic, their açaí bowls and smoothies are refreshing and healthy. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed the conversation. This is an absolute must when passing through Auburn. We're looking forward to our next visit!

    Breakfast Club

    Great food ! Great service! Chai latte was amazing ! Justin created a great experience and made some great recommendations!

    Spicy tuna sandwich
    Bethany L.

    Disappointed. I tried what was recommended which was the spicy tuna sandwich. For starters I was asked if I wanted to add avacado, for an extra charge of course... and I did. However when I got home with my to go order and looked at my sandwich, there was absolutely no avocado. Also it should've been called a tomato sandwich, because there was barely any tuna, but a gigantic tomato that overtook the sandwich. And like everything else these days, it had a hefty price tag for just a sandwich that was subpar. $17 for the sandwich, and not impressive. Won't go here again unfortunately.

    I was attending a meeting a few blocks away and the organizers offered to fetch us lunch from this…read moredeli if we'd order and pay in advance. The online ordering system was not working - it balked at payment - so I phoned them and ordered that way. On the day, we got a pile of plastic bags each labeled with our name, and inside mine I found my hot sandwich, still pretty warm, inside a foil wrapper. Mine was the Italian melt, lots of different kinds of meat plus provolone and a little onion and pepperocini and a mildly spicy marinara sauce lightly dabbed in. It was not too thick but nicely dense, as well as delicious, with a well chosen mix of ingredients. I didn't want too much bread, so I ordered it on marble rye, and that turned out to be fairly thin, not overwhelming, and also strongly and delightfully flavored. I'm not ordinarily big on deli sandwiches - I don't think they have much else - but this was a major find.

    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 had a great experience I was immediately helped by a young women I believe her name was Aaliyah…read moreshe gave great recommendations and had a great attitude I would recommend coming here great food great people

    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.
