Moulin is the most perfect French cafe experience. I had Quiche Lorraine and French Onion Soup. Both dishes were spectacularly delicious! Then I visited the bakery counter for a delicious treat. Amazingly delicious, wonderfully creative meals in a quaint French cafe setting. I’m a visitor who had to return home, but I can’t wait to return to Moulin! It’s perfect!

Perfection every single time.love the variety.there is no bakeries again that come even close to the quality and craftmanship of this place.truly unique .Finally TRUE french pastrie that taste just like the one in france and haven t been fused with anything .not as fancy as the newport location but cute and cozy. This is authentic you will not find better pastries in oc or inland.while the ham cheese baguette was a 1/10 , the vienoiseries were meh 5/10 ,the pastries are out of this word 10/10. I havent been able to find this quality even in LA . They pay attention to every detail . Im beyond picky and these made me almost wanna cry as it taste just like if you walked in a bakery in paris . The only down side is the insanely outrageous price point 15$ for a sandwish you can easily make at home 4-5 $ for vienoiserie ( you can buy a dozen at costco for that price) , 7$ for ONE crepe ( lmao , they could cut that price in half and still make a huge profit) and 8$ for one cake . For two people you will easily spend 50-60 if you add coffee on top .the location itself is small with limited selection but cute . My other down side was that there is NO HEATER OUTSIDE . Its attrociously cold early morning in winter maybe thats something they could invest into seeing how grossly overpriced everything is .overall come here for the pastries skip the sandwishes grossly overpriced which is a huge turn off . Its good for a special event or bday but not something you can go daily to pick up vienoiserie and baguette like you would in france ( as it cost more than double what u would pay in europe). They refresh their selection the pastries are pretty seasonal it wont be the same ones everytime you go back ( which is fun) . My tumbs up to the patissier for making incredible master piece pastries in US .the pastries are endlessly changing which is fun

” Triple the price & Half as nice “
Vietnamese ” Banh Mi ” ( sandwich ) make the same bread; ” Baguette ” far less priced than this. They use twice what this place does. It taste the same but your wallet will enjoy the experience. Way over priced. As someone else said, Bristol has better offerings for the same price. Small Ham Half Bread One Pastry = 30 bucks.

I enjoy the great variety of French pastries. Try their petit pain au chocolat!

Jeremy blew it for your business. We spent over $100 on food desert. 4 omelets . The food is great but the service we received from Jeremy was just simply rude. I asked for once slice of lemon and the answer was No! He said that your entire cafe doesn’t have one slice of lemon for my water and my salad. He had a nasty face attitude.
Please take this feedback seriously. Service is everything.

At Moulin, I ordered the almond croissant, Mille-feuille, and a cappuccino. The croissant was 5/5! Very airy and crispy with a good amount of almond filling. The Mille-feuille cream filling was too sweet for my liking but the pastry part was very crispy and nice. The cappuccino came with a little piece of dark chocolate which was a sweet touch.
This cafe is sort of hidden in a small outdoor plaza with a number of home decor stores, a couple restaurants, and little shops amongst a business area. I like the location as it’s not crowded and has a number of outdoor seating, there was a live performer on the Saturday I went too! There is plenty of parking.

A little piece of France in Costa Mesa. This is a small stop but still delicious for an authentic French coffee break. For full Moulin experience go to main location.

Prefer this location over the one in Newport Beach. It’s less crowded and zany but has most of the same pastries/salads/sandwiches. I enjoy the croissants and baguettes – they’re reliably good. The tuna nicoise salad is also a winner. The only downside is that this location is closed on Mon and Tuesdays. ETA: They’re now open throughout the week!

Not a good value lunch compared to other locations. There was much less meat in the sandwiches than other MOULINs I have eaten at. The chicken pesto sandwich was about one slice of chicken thick, so I don’t recommend ordering lunch here if you want to be full. The quality is amazing and it tasted wonderful, but it doesn’t feel worth the price. Try a different MOULIN location.
The chocolate croissant was good but somehow smaller than I remember it being? And there was a patch in the middle with no chocolate, not sure how that works since it’s a baton.
