A reliable go-to spot in the Mission Viejo Town Center for a quick and satisfying meal between client appointments. The soups, sandwiches, and salads hit the spot without slowing down a busy day.

Panera is consistent, clean, and well-located. A staple for anyone spending time in this part of South OC.

We had hoped to get a breakfast roll but that is not offered after 10:30 a.m.
