“Moulin Café is one of those hidden gems that has the power to refresh your day, whether you stop by in the morning for a bright start or before sunset to wind down. The atmosphere immediately draws you in with its charming ancient décor that makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into a European café by the beach.

The staff are consistently welcoming and kind, adding warmth to every visit. Their pastry selection is impressive—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Pair that with their well-brewed coffee or indulge in one of their subs, and you’ve got yourself a perfect café experience. The menu strikes a wonderful balance between quality and variety, making it easy to find something you’ll love every time.

Its location close to the beach makes Moulin a convenient stop before or after a seaside stroll, and the fact that it has a restroom available adds practicality for longer visits. The overall vibe is cozy yet lively, and it truly feels good to spend time here, whether you’re enjoying a quick coffee break or settling in for a longer chat with friends.

Moulin Café is more than just a café—it’s a destination that leaves you refreshed and satisfied. Highly recommended!“
