“Moulin in San Clemente is this adorable French bistro that's totally transporting. The vibe's cozy and it feels like a mini getaway. We sat outside and it was perfect, beautiful sunny day and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. I went for the omelette special with mushrooms and French ham and it hit the spot, eggs were perfect and the flavors were great. My wife loved the Croque Monsieur sandwich. Customer service was outstanding, the staff were super friendly and on point. Oh, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing! They've also got this cute little market thing going on which was a nice touch. If you're in San Clemente, Moulin is a solid pick for a chill French meal. We'll be back.“

“I went here for a quick coffee stop and to check out this place as an out of tow visitor to Cali! I first ordered a drip coffee but switched to an Americano due to them being out. This caused an error on the computer where the manager ended up just giving me my coffee for free. I really appreciated that gesture and love the vibe of this place! I will definitely pay it forward and continue to come here. The espresso was delicious! There was no wait and I was greeted upon entry by the barista. Would highly recommend 🫶🏼“
