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 youâre enjoying a quick coffee break or settling in for a longer chat with friends.
Authentic French market and beautiful pastries and desserts. The Quiche Lorraine is a top dish and always perfectly prepared. Cool European vibe frequented by locals and cyclists. Highly recommend

Love the O.J., Croissant with Cheesy Omelette and Quiche was pretty good. Also tried the Custard filled pastry and Marble pound cake next day. This location was a much better experience compared to the Newport Beach location, employee here was friendly, helpful and smiled, which made us want to come back.
Out of all the locations, we visit this one the most. Ava hands down is the best! Always friendly and great to deal with.

I like this coffee shop. No fancy latte art. Lots of dogs and entitled Karen. Loud and rude people once in a while. It is still relaxing, just like a home.

Always have issues with this location. Quality of the deserts dropped. Today we ordered pressed panini for my son, waited for 20 min. Then we asked about this panini, they just forgot about it . In 5 minutes they brought totally burnt panini to us , it was impossible to it. What a waste of time . I werenât able to comfort my son for 30 minutes , he waited a lot then we just left him hungry . Poor thing

Trendy place with a European touch. I would give 5* for the food but when you set high expectations, then you should fulfill them. French patisserie is difficult to replicate without compromises. The flan was below average and the tart tatin acceptable but not exactly a tart tatin. Last but not least, and that goes to almost all US based coffee providers, it is difficult to get a real espresso or a cappuccino. Bottom line, If you haven't been to France or Italy (for the coffee) you will have a high level introduction. If you have, it will be an acceptable reminder. Well played!
Awesome lil coffee/pastry/sandwich shop. So much better than the food at the Waldorf, and much better value! Worth the walk!

This was my first time here, and we ordered a little bit of everything. Everything was absolutely delicious, and Iâll definitely be coming back. My favorites were the croissant sandwich and the Nutella crepe. As a crepe lover who's always on the hunt for the best, I can confidently say this one was amazing.

Ordered the latte and the coffee was bitter. Very simple and very disappointed. Plenty of other places with better coffee. Unimpressed.

Moulin CafĂ© 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 dĂ©cor that makes you feel as if youâve stepped into a European cafĂ© by the beach.
The staff are consistently welcoming and kind, adding warmth to every visit. Their pastry selection is impressiveâfresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Pair that with their well-brewed coffee or indulge in one of their subs, and youâve got yourself a perfect cafĂ© experience. The menu strikes a wonderful balance between quality and variety, making it easy to find something youâll 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 youâre enjoying a quick coffee break or settling in for a longer chat with friends.
Moulin CafĂ© is more than just a cafĂ©âitâs a destination that leaves you refreshed and satisfied. Highly recommended!

En bons français en vacances Ă lâĂ©tranger, nous avions envie dâun petit dĂ©jeuner comme Ă la maison. Moulin est parfait pour cela: des pĂątisseries françaises fraĂźches, du bon cafĂ©, et de bonnes crĂȘpes rĂ©alisĂ©es minute. Le service est impeccable, mention spĂ©ciale Ă Maureen pour son accueil et son sourire. Un petit coin de France en Californie, allez-y sans hĂ©siter!
