The Shops at Mission Viejo

This is my favorite mall. It’s not overly fancy/​expensive but it’s not trashy either. I couldn’t give them 5 stars when Barkworks was still there but now that, that’s been gone for some time now I happily give them 5 stars. They have my go to stores and enough dining choices to keep you fueled for some hardcore shopping. No Starbucks, which is crazy to me because I’m from Seattle, but Nordstrom E Bar is even better!

One of my go to malls. It’s not as bougie as south coast, its better than main place and Laguna hills shouldn’t even be called a mall.
It’s nice, clean, not as crowded and has tons of parking and if you boug, valet. My usual stores are: Nordys, Macy’s, Gap, Sephora, MAC, Victoria’s Secret, Aldo, Steve Madden, Zara, Bebe, loft, h&m, f21, BCGC, Jamba juice etc…
I could go on and on but it’s making me want to go shopping so I’ll just stop.

I think I see some pretty good things happening at this mall. Today I went in for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and noticed that a new place called The Melt is opening soon. Then I noticed that Farrells is being replaced with Islands. Ok I’m a happy boy.
I also noticed that the food court is loaded with some pretty fine establishments. How did I miss this? Philly Cheesesteaks to bakery items to smash burger and more. They even have a Starbucks located right in the middle of it all.
I love this mall. Good food court and more and a good variety of popular shops.
I found my new shopping locale.

I love this indoor Mall. According to it’s website there are a total of 150 stores here, which is a good amount to choose from. I’ve been to larger and smaller, but find that this is just the right amount to my liking. I also like their simple layout. No chance of you getting lost down any long, never-​ending corridors that lap around (or not!). It’s easy to remember if your favorite stores are down near the Nordstrom end or Macy’s. I generally shop at the same favorites and park towards the middle of the Mall, but sometimes still make a wrong decision by walking towards Nordstrom instead of Macy’s (for example), which was easily corrected due to the size of the Mall. As long as they continue to carry many of my favorite stores, I will definitely be back!

I live close to Irvine Spectrum center in Irvine city, but i love to shop in this mall. There is a good environment and it worths the drive for me. I love the fact that there are so many skin care stores as Lush, Origins but the best one is Skin 63! They give amazing treatments and they have very good costumer service.
Besides that, there are a lot of places to park and the restaurants are great!
The only thing that bothers me is the trash can outside! The smell is not good and i hope they will do something!

Convenient, family friendly, easy parking, on and off I5 quickly, food court is reasonable and ambiance is very safe.
For a whole family to hang out a few hours and have lunch during a lazy nice afternoon, it is ideal!

I’ve gone to this mall ever since I was a kid. I haven’t been here in a while and it’s changed a bit. There’s some new shops and the place looks more updated. I came here today to make use of a few of my gift cards I’ve had on hand for a while. It was crowded and hard to find close parking. I ended up parking a little farther than anticipated. I found all my shops though and bought a few things. All the employees were nice here and I had a nice shopping day. This place is still kicking.

I shop at this mall for over 3 years.
Love the atmosphere and the good variety of home design stores.
I also got to test one of the skin care stores Skin63 and fell in love with the products and the staff.
I believe that there’s not enough good quality restaurants.

Went to stop by here before going home to San Diego.
I actually like this mall. It’s similar to the North County mall except this mall is smaller. It has two levels and it’s an indoor mall. It has high end stores within this mall such as MAC, Macy’s, Guess, and other name brands. I didn’t really get to venture this mall because I was tired from driving and just wanted to go home since I don’t have much money to spend.
The food court was pretty awesome because I saw a Thai place, a bakery, and some other cool eateries. There was plenty of tables and chairs to dine in the food court. I also saw a Jamba Juice. At the front of the food court, the Farrell’s was in the corner and across was P.F. Chang’s.
There’s plenty of parking around the mall. There are entrances all around the mall. I am definitely coming back with my husband and daughter when we have a free weekend where we don’t have plans. I want to see what other stores I missed in the mall. Definitely coming back here!

Much improved. I enjoy going here more than I did in 2007. Customer service has gotten a lot better and the store offerings are more interesting now. I like the Microsoft Store, ALDO shoes, and have taken a look at the TESLA store (no buying, of course). Godiva and See’s Candies are here for chocolate lover. Nordstrom’s e-​bar and Nordstrom Café have good offerings. The Lego store attracts a lot of customers. EXPRESS and Bath and Body Works are here as well.
The Cheesecake Factory does well here and there’s a Farrell’s Ice cream shop. The food court used to have McDonald’s, but they closed it. Now they have Sarku Japan, Smashburger, and some other food court restaurants. PF Chang’s does well here also. The Mongolian BBQ restaurant is pretty good and there’s a Thai place. Wetzel’s Pretzels and Haagen-​Dasz are by Macy’s Men’s Store.
There are some places I don’t frequent, like Tommy Bahama’s (I don’t think I’m their target audience) and there’s a ton of shops I didn’t mention. They seem to offer a wide variety of stores. Can’t wait to see what’s opening next.

This is a good mall for a visit, a walk, or shopping. And I found a new favorite brand… XCVI. Their clothes are mostly cotton, and mostly made in Los Angeles. Imagine that! I bought three pieces that I am going to wear all fall and winter.
