    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.

    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.

    Absolutely amazing sandwiches. Highly recommend trying this…read moreplace. We ordered the Santa Fe chicken on a sourdough roll. Simply amazing..!!!

    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 just happened to come across The Baker and the Cakemaker and, of course, I had to stop in and see…read morewhat they had! There were plenty of goodies to choose from like pastries, croissants, artisanal breads, cake slices, brioche bread with fruit, cinnamon rolls and several other products for sale. Their cake of the week was a mocha cake! It has layers of chocolate cake with an Expresso milk soak, frosted with expresso buttercream frosting with a chocolate ganache drip, topped with cocoa nuts... WOW!!! The artisanal breads are located on the side of the shop when you walk up towards the case. They have many flavors like roasted sourdough, pumpkin seed, kalamata olive, rosemary & lemon, and more! All breads are preservative free and made with organic flour. I decided to try the flourless brownie along with a ham and cheese croissant. I wanted something sweet and something savory. The flourless brownie was definitely my favorite of the two. It was rich, chocolatey, and had that creamy texture that you want from a good flourless brownie. It was a good size, too! The ham and cheese croissant itself was good and had a nice flaky texture, but I really wish there had been more ham and cheese inside. It felt a little light on the filling, especially compared to the size of the croissant. I absolutely enjoyed the flavor and flakey texture. It was a perfect crossiant, minus the ham and cheese part. The inside is cute but be prepared to get cozy with only a small amount of space to sit. Thankfully, they also have some outdoor seating if you want to hang out and enjoy your pastry there. I didn't get a picture of indoor or outdoor seating because they were a good amount of people enjoying their dining experience. I guess they know where the goodies are! Here! Overall, I liked discovering this little spot. Between the pastries, croissants, artisanal breads, and other goodies for sale, there was plenty to look at and definitely a few things I want to come back and try... and I'd for sure grab another one of those flourless brownies!

    Gotta start off by giving the GOAT of schmears a shoutout.. the Mango Schmear 5/5... Burgers here…read moreare always kind of trash.. idk 2 maybe 3/5 stars. Went with the wagyu smash burger this time.. was greasy as ever and the bottom part of my bun was soaked and soggy/falling apart by the time I was eating it.. honestly kind of trash.. still tasted okay but not much flavor.. sweet potato fries were okay. a big enough portion to share with someone else. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 2 or 3 is directly because of one item and one item only... the mango schmear... some of the best damn schmear I've ever had. I always come for the schmear and leave with a burger that disappoints me.. the smear always wins me over though.. Lots of other good salsas/spreads/aiolis but the mango schmear.. the mango schmear.. try it and tell me I'm wrong

    Ikeda's California Country Market is well known for their meat pies…read more Walking into the cute little market we ended up purchasing two frozen pies to heat up for later. They were both delicious although a bit bigger and filling than expected. Next time we would definitely try them fresh and hot since they took about two hours to cook in the oven at the recommended heat. The service was friendly and helpful and they sell insulated bags if you, like us, had not yet started keeping a cooler in the trunk. All in all we would definitely come back!

I don't know what was going on back there, but the servers barely made rounds to our table, didn't even ask us if we wanted coffee, and when we asked one server to check on our food. All she said was "it would be out soon" and we heard that for the next 10 minutes each time we asked. The restaurant itself seemed pretty clean although the bathrooms definitely could use renovation. You can just tell that either they have so much business they don't care much about service or they're just not quite sure how to dial everything in to balance the front of house and kitchen delivery. If I have any specific suggestions to offer: tell your customers upfront about your kitchen wait times. Nobody wants to wait an hour for breakfast food. Make sure to follow up with your customers and ask them if they want anything else to drink besides water it seems like a really easy way to make extra money.

    I came to Burger & Cream with my friend, and we had such a great time! I ordered the Western Burger…read moreand decided to make it a double because apparently one patty just wasn't enough for me that day, lol. It came loaded with Tillamook cheddar, crispy bacon, onion rings, mayo, and their gourmet BBQ sauce. The burger was juicy, cheesy, smoky, and slightly sweet without the BBQ sauce overpowering everything else. Adding that second patty made it a beast of a burger! It was way too much for me to finish in one sitting, but that worked out perfectly because it became two meals and how the heck was it more delicious the next day? My friend ordered the Boss Burger, which came with lettuce, tomato, bacon, onion rings, Swiss and American cheeses, and their signature sauce. He made his a double too, which turned an already fully loaded burger into something absolutely massive! Both burgers looked impressive when they arrived. By the time I barely finished my half, he was practically done with his burger... how the... well, lol, he's a man! The restaurant was crowded when we visited, and only about half of the tables were clean. However, the customer service here is always great. I also like that they keep water available on the counter so you can easily help yourself. We had a great time laughing, talking, and even chatting with other customers who shared our love for Burger & Cream. That made the experience even more enjoyable! Of course, you can't come to Burger & Cream without checking out the desserts. We chose a chocolate cookie dessert made with chocolate ice cream, took it back to my place, and shared it there. It was rich, chocolatey, and the perfect sweet ending to a fun time with my friend.

    A Great Burger, a Little Nostalgia, and a 20-Minute Test of Patience…read more I've been bringing my family to this location for years--back when it was a Foster Freeze. This place has some history for me. Many a Friday night, when I was the Defensive Coordinator for Lincoln High School, I'd find myself here. And on those hot summer days, my wife and I would stop in with our son Jonathan before heading off to watch Lincoln play Nevada City. So, yes... I have a little emotional investment in this place. Fast-forward to today, and I'm happy to report that the burgers are still worth talking about. The buns were soft, the meat was flavorful, and the whole burger experience hit the spot. And, of course, my family gave the milkshakes their official seal of approval--which, in my household, is basically a Michelin star. The menu has plenty of good options, there's outdoor seating, and the staff is genuinely working hard. They're multitasking like their lives depend on it, so every once in a while you may need to repeat your order. But honestly, I'd rather see people working hard and trying to take care of everyone than standing around looking bored. Parking can be a bit challenging, too. Consider it part of the dining experience--your appetizer is finding a parking space. So why only four stars? The wait. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. It wasn't terrible, but when you're hungry enough to start considering whether ketchup packets are technically a meal, 20 minutes feels like a lifetime. That said, the food was really good, the staff was friendly, and there's a genuine sense that people are working hard to make this place successful. Bottom line: Great burgers, excellent milkshakes, a solid menu, friendly people, and a little nostalgia thrown in for free. I'd absolutely recommend giving this place a try. Just remember: bring your appetite, a little patience, and maybe say your order twice. Four stars--and I'll definitely be back.
