Escape Room coming to Mission Viejo and more!

Nerdy by Nature Escape Room 

The City’s Planning Commission recently approved an application to permit an “escape room” entertainment business to locate in the Alicia Business Center at 24002 Via Fabricante, Suite 206. Nerdy by Nature Escape Room will provide a fun, inquisitive, and challenging experience and will test your resourcefulness and team building skills to escape a simulated precarious situation.  Stay tuned for an opening date sometime this summer.

Little France Coffee & Bakery

Pastry chef enthusiasts with more than 15 years of experience have opened Little France Coffee & Bakery at 28181 Marguerite Parkway, across from Saddleback College. They specialize in coffee, various bakery items, pastries and sandwiches, served during breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., seven days a week. Patrons can look forward to authentic French pastries, such as croissants and eclairs. Breakfast includes Croque-Monsieur sandwiches and lunch ranges from baguette and croissant sandwiches to sweet and savory crepes. The owners originally relocated from France and have brought their passion of baking as well as their expertise as awarding-winning chefs to all that they do at Little France Coffee & Bakery.

Smart Cups

Smart Cups produces all its beverage products using an innovative, patented process of affixing microencapsulated ingredients (dehydrated liquid) on the inside of a disposable cup, for later addition of liquid into which the ingredients dissolve to create the final product.   

Smart Cups currently manufactures non-alcoholic beverage products, like healthy energy and coffee drinks and with recent Planning Commission approval, Smart Cups can now produce alcoholic beverage products, such as various cocktails (margaritas, cosmopolitans, Moscow mules, etc.). The Commission unanimously approved the project and commended the applicant for keeping his operations in Mission Viejo.
