Healthy Habit HHI has always had a little bit of its own personality.

Bright. Clean. Colorful. A place where you could grab something that made you feel like you were doing something good for yourself without feeling like you were being punished for it.

Now, after a fresh renovation of their Hilton Head Island space, that personality has grown up a little.

Andrea Roberts and her team recently completed a refresh of the restaurant, transforming the space into something lighter, cleaner and a little more polished. Think lots of whites, greenery, new chairs, updated lighting and an overall brighter energy. The pinks are still there, but much more subtle now.

“We’re trying to go a little just different,” Roberts said. “A little bit more cleaner, a little bit more bright, happy energy.”

That about sums it up.

The renovation itself was not some long, drawn-out construction project that had everyone closed for weeks. Quite the opposite. A good chunk of the work was done over one weekend, with plenty of sweat equity from the Healthy Habit team.

“It was intense,” Roberts said.

The job included multiple coats of paint, all done by hand. No sprayers. No easy button. Just rollers, teamwork and a restaurant full of people helping push the space across the finish line.

“It was fun,” she said.

They reopened that Monday with a fresh new look, new vegetation throughout the space and the kind of lighter feel that makes you want to sit down and stay a while. That is part of the idea, too. Some additional soft seating is still expected, creating more of a café/lounge feel for guests who want to linger over coffee, breakfast, lunch or something in between.

Healthy Habit has been on Hilton Head Island for nine years now, with the current location open since 2019. This latest renovation is also a step toward something bigger.

“This would be our prototype,” Roberts said, talking about what the brand could look like if Healthy Habit expands beyond Hilton Head.

The menu has also gotten some attention. Healthy Habit has added more gluten-free options, including gluten-free wraps, and they are now making bread in house. Roberts says they have leaned into more house-made items, including organic focaccia sandwiches and toasts.

One of the biggest updates? Healthy Habit HHI is now open on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with some brunch-style options and the kind of healthier Sunday food a lot of people are looking for after a Saturday night out.

“Everyone always asked us to,” Roberts said. “People want it.”

And she is probably right.

Because sometimes Sunday is not about another round of fried everything. Sometimes it is about getting reset for the week with something fresh, clean and good.

Healthy Habit HHI now looks the part more than ever.
