“Pandor Bakery & Café in Mission Viejo is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a beautiful, warm, and inviting setting that immediately makes you feel welcome. The display cases are simply stunning — an extensive array of freshly baked breads, pastries, desserts, and treats that make it nearly impossible to choose just one.
Everything looks and tastes exceptional, reflecting true craftsmanship and quality.
What truly sets this location apart, however, is the leadership and staff. The store managers — especially the French-speaking manager — along with the entire team, enthusiastically greet every customer with genuine warmth and professionalism. They are a real class act and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Their energy, hospitality, and pride in their café elevate the entire experience.
Mission Viejo is fortunate to have such a wonderful establishment serving the community.
Bravo, Pandor Bakery & Café — I’ll most certainly be back!“

“Always great wine and food here!“

“We found this little Gem recently and fell in love! Amazing food and the friendliest staff! I have Celiac disease and their menu offers me so many delicious choices! 💙“

“I rarely write reviews unless a place truly deserves it, and this Moulin Café location at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point absolutely does. We visit weekly and even go out of our way just to come here.
The coffee is consistently hot, fresh, and delicious—and they’re one of the few places that still serves great old-fashioned brewed decaf. We usually order it half decaf and half regular, and it’s always perfect.
The pastries are excellent, and the customer service is outstanding. Antoine, the manager, is always friendly, respectful, and welcoming, and the rest of the staff is just as wonderful.
Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommended 😂 Yummy food and friendly servers . Thumbs up 👍“
