Panera Bread - Aliso Viejo

A great place for light healthy meals especially when you watch what you eat. Portions are just right, neither too big or small but always delicious and fresh. It's my first time to be at this out let and I had difficulty finding it since there's no sign showing the name of the store and if there was, I completely missed it. Parking is available, restrooms too.

I absolutely love the black bean soup! The iced tea is also quite generous in size, and I always like to add a splash of lemonade. Delicious!

The sandwich soup was outstanding. The service was also very good on Saturday afternoon.

The only dish we consistently enjoy here is the mac and cheese, as it’s a favorite among the kids. I would love to see some gluten-free options on the menu, because it feels torturous to smell all the delicious food while the kids indulge without me. I do appreciate the Rapid Pick Up for online orders; it’s always efficient, so thank you for that. However, the in-person line can be a different experience altogether.

One of my sweetest friends there. Great mood there
