    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!
    Jacqueline S.

    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.

    Enter a new world Of beautiful organic eating. I'd rate it a billion. I got a vegan wrap with a green goddess juice. It was amazing.

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.

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!!

    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!

    Nice place to stretch your legs and stop for a snack and pick-me-up on the way to Tahoe!…read more I like their day-old discounted bread and baked good section.

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!

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.

Instead of answering helpfully, he got visibly offended and defensive. He then launched into a claim that Tru Bowls has "been around longer than Erewhon," which came across as rude and irrelevant. (For the record, Erewhon has been operating since 1966. Tru Bowls has not been around nearly that long.) Relax, Champ, even from a girl, you are spun way too tight! The combination of a flavorless drink and unnecessarily rude service ruined the visit. I won't be returning and can't recommend Tru Bowls to anyone. There are many better acai and smoothie options in the area that actually deliver on taste and basic customer service. Very disappointing.
