" This is a highly recommended café with a warm atmosphere. The staff were friendly and prompt. I was particularly impressed with the pastries—such a variety to choose from. I ordered a dessert, and it was light and enjoyable. Though the prices are slightly on the higher side, it’s worth it for the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently stopped by Moulin for brunch and had their famous 'Le Croque Monsieur.' It was quite flavorful, but I wish the portion was a bit more generous for the price. The coffee was pleasantly strong, which complimented my meal perfectly. I appreciate the effort they put into creating an authentic vibe in a lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Moulin, I finally visited. The atmosphere is charming and feels like a slice of France! I tried their almond croissant and it was indeed the best I’ve ever had. However, I did have some trouble finding parking nearby during peak hours. Still, it was a delightful experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful lunch! The ham and cheese baguette was truly authentic, with the bread just the right amount of crusty and soft. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring my experience was enjoyable. Their selection of desserts was tempting, but I opted for a savory meal this time. I will be back to savor those pastries soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit, I was excited to try their famous 'Croque Madame' and it did not disappoint! The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were pleasantly authentic. However, the service was a tad slow as it was busy at that time. The outdoor seating with a view of the ocean is definitely a plus. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into Moulin, I felt like I was in a cozy cafe right out of Paris. They have an extensive menu, but the almond croissants stole my heart! Freshly baked and absolutely rich in flavor. The barista was incredibly welcoming and made my coffee just right. I can't wait to return to try their savory crepes. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Superb place for breakfast! The ambiance is warm and inviting. The baked goods selection was mind-blowing. I ordered a few croissants and a savory crepe—all were delightful. The only issue was with parking; it was quite packed. But, the delicious food made it worth the hassle. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)
