Our second visit here, We come all the way from the Inland Empire. We love all the pastries and fresh made orange juice. I make a mimosa with the Champagne. It's hard to not want to buy all the treats imported from Europe. And the crepe is so fluffy compared to any other place. Had to remind the staff to give us our baked goods and there was an over charge yet another staff member helped us resolve the issue. Have to come back to try the quiche and more mimosasš„š
Nice little French bistro with a great view. The jambon fromage sandwich was decent. The baguette was a little stale. The coffee was very good and the service was excellent. Great for lunch.
A refreshing spot with inside and outdoor sitting overlooking parts of the ocean. The food was fresh, pastries were; well you can look at those mouthwatering pictures and the service was 5ā
It is an order first and sit down restaurant where your delicious food is brought to you using a number.
If you are looking for a relaxing morning afternoon or evening informal French spot to go to, here is your opportunity!
I loved my cafe au lait with oat milk! Beautiful variety of sweet and savory foods, perfect for a picnic. The seasonal tart was sweet and fresh. Loved hearing the staff speak to each other in French, they were all very nice and eager to help.
Best local French bakery. They have incredible French onion soup and yummy croissant sandwiches and crepes!! Small outside seating with ocean view! Location can't be beat and great customer service.
What a great little French restaurant and cafe. Pretty good location right at North Beach with a large selection of handmade pastries, sandwiches, coffees, and brunchy prepared dishes (like croque monsieur & madame, omelets, etc.).
Gets a bit hectic here but thatās a sign of a good restaurant! But a good atmosphere, delicious food and the patio is dog-friendly!
What a lovely place!! I actually felt like I was in the streets of Paris!! I had the La Croque Madame, and it was glorious!! The croissants are out of this world!! I canāt to come back and gorge on the delicious treats!!
The food, service, and ambience is great. Feels like a bustling little cafe in France. I have had the Eggs Benedict, the Le Croque Madame, one of the black cherry pastries, and the cappuccino all taste fantastic.
Enjoyed my morning breakfast and writing sessions here while on a vacation in San Clemente.
PROS:
The barista welcomed me and excellently met every need I had for breakfast. The crepe complete incorporated delicious cheeses and ham in a crunchy crepe shell. I ate it three times! The butter croissants delivered in flakiness and butteriness. The apricot danish balanced fruit, cheese, and bread very well. The tarte Tropezienne delighted the palate with just enough orange flavor. The drip coffee stood out as outstanding. The light and fruity flavor required nothing added. It is their own blend! The Ambiance reflected a cute, quaint, and cozy Paris bistro. A beautiful experience.
CONS:
The apricot tarte tatin possessed very little apricot. It was dry.
I love this place! The baked goods are excellent - the best croissant in San Clemente in my opinion. They also have delicious, fresh squeezed orange juice that is a delight. It is a bit pricey, but I think well worth the money based on the quality of their product.
Simply put, perfect little cafe, excellent pastry, high quality espresso. Interior is rustic, in a modern way. I like this one more than the other one located in Laguna Beach, only because of the nice quiet neighbourhood and a little better ocean view. But, both are really authentic and have a great vibe, plus most important, very welcoming staff. Must see, feel and taste!
Oh mon Dieu what a fantastic Croque Monsieur!! I truly enjoyed visiting this morning. Freshly squeezed orange juice was a perfect complement to my breakfast. Good selection of bread and other French products such as mustard, wines, cookies and marmalades. Outdoor seating and good safety guidelines in place. Merci et a bientot!
Great little place with some cute French touches. Reminds me of some street vendors in Paris... good hearty food, reasonable prices. Although not a table service place the staff is very friendly and very service oriented
Nice little cafe restaurant bakery with a french touch. Delicious breakfast, pastries, tarts and bread. Good coffee. Pretty location near the beach. Outside and inside seating.
Moulin is fantastic. Service is great, food is phenomenal. I always have a hard time recommending food to try because everything I have tried there is amazing. I would highly recommend trying this spot if you are visiting or live in San Clemente.
Great place for a weekend brunch. Will stop by next time after bike ride. Highly recommended!!
It was our first time going there with friends who live in the area. We loved it, & everything was delicious.
Cute spot to have coffee and pastries by the beach. We came on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy but we found a spot to sit. Not the most delicious omelet Iāve ever had but it was a nice breakfast in a nice area by the beach :)
