" What a delightful treat this place is! I came here for breakfast and had a delightful almond croissant. The natural light that flooded the cafe made it feel even more inviting. Service was prompt. Would recommend for anyone in the area looking for a cozy coffee spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Moulin has quickly become my favorite spot in town! The assortment of pastries is mind-blowing, particularly the pain au chocolat. The atmosphere is relaxing, perfect for brunch with friends. I also enjoyed their fresh-squeezed orange juice—it’s a must-try! The only downside was that I had to wait for a table, but once seated, the experience was seamless. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable experience at Moulin! I loved the outdoor seating area with great views. My order consisted of a delicious pain au chocolat, which was heavenly. The staff was friendly, and the service was prompt. They have different kinds of pastries on display, all looking tempting. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had expected more from this café, given all the hype. My café au lait was good, but the ham and cheese sandwich wasn’t as fresh as I had hoped. The atmosphere is inviting, but I can't overlook the minor flaws I experienced here. It's worth trying again to see if my experience improves. Just be prepared for the occasional wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to visiting Moulin after all the praise I've heard. I chose a crepe and it was delightful! The flavors were vibrant, and the service attentive. The only hiccup was that it took a bit longer than anticipated to receive our drinks. Overall though, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend it for a delicious brunch. " (*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*)
