Expanding its Orange County presence, Sweetgreen is set to open its 5th location in the region tomorrow, Tuesday, June 17, at Laguna Niguel’s Plaza de la Paz center (27221 La Paz Road, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677). O.C. diners are invited to indulge in the restaurant’s menu of thoughtfully sourced, scratch-made meals, and enjoy complimentary activations with local partners. Sweetgreen will also match every meal sold with a donated meal to Laguna Food Pantry to nourish people in Laguna Beach experiencing food insecurity.
Sweetgreen’s opening in Laguna Niguel comes on the heels of introducing its limited-time KBBQ menu. Made in collaboration with COTE Korean Steakhouse, the menu showcases a new KBBQ-glazed steak in bold new bowl and plate options—plus a salad packed with spicy, Korean-inspired flavor.
Sweetgreen’s full menu includes salads, warm bowls, protein plates, and sides, featuring longtime favorites like the Harvest Bowl and Crispy Rice Bowl, and protein-packed offerings including the Caramelized Garlic Steak and Miso Glazed Salmon protein plates.

In celebration of its newest Orange County location, Sweetgreen Laguna Niguel will host the community for opening day activations with local partners and small businesses. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, Sweetgreen invites guests to enjoy a complimentary build-your-own floral bar from Sweet Blossom Designs, hand-crafted specialty beverages from Golden Lantern Coffee Roasters, custom-decorated cookies from Cookie Curator, hand-beaded friendship bracelets from Beadiful Jewelry, and Sweetgreen hats, all while supplies last.
Located in Laguna Niguel’s Plaza de la Paz center at 27221 La Paz Road, the new restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seating 43 diners indoors and 42 diners on the patio.
Sweetgreen Laguna Niguel will be the third location in Orange County to feature the restaurant brand’s Infinite Kitchen technology, which was first introduced on the West Coast in Huntington Beach in late 2023.
