    Today was my first time at Moulin Laguna Beach. I have been to their other locations and I'm happy to say that this location did not disappoint! The indoor restaurant is so cute and they also have a lovely patio as well. They have a lot of grab and go, premade items, as well as fresh cooked/hot meals as well. Plus, they have delicious bottled drinks and pasties made to perfection!

    I used to go to the Newport Beach location all the time. It was close to my office, so I went at least once a week to grab a quick, healthy lunch. My main takeaway back then was that the food was delicious, but the staff wasn't very friendly... haha.This time, I was visiting Laguna Beach with a friend and looking for a spot to have a light yet tasty meal, which brought us here. My friend was starving, so they ordered a sandwich and the roast chicken plate, while I got the scrambled eggs. To be honest, the prices aren't exactly cheap.First, we tried the Jambon-Beurre sandwich, which is made with jamón (ham) inside a baguette, and it was absolutely amazing. The baguette felt a bit hard at first, but as you chew, the rich, savory flavor really comes out--before I knew it, the whole sandwich was gone! The roast chicken plate was served incredibly fresh. The side potatoes were so hot and delicious they instantly put a happy smile on my face. Even though we ate the chicken a bit later because we were focused on the sandwich, steam was still rising from it!The scrambled egg dish I ordered came with a salad and sourdough bread, making it the perfect healthy meal. It was packed with plenty of mushrooms, and I was incredibly satisfied! Unfortunately, I was so busy eating that I forgot to take photos of the food, but their desserts are excellent too, so you should definitely check them out. Highly recommend! Oh, and all the staff members here were so incredibly friendly that it made the food taste even better

    Cute small shop in the heart of Laguna. Just like their flag shop store, they do have everything you're looking for. They got pastries, cakes, sandwiches, crepes, breakfast, little shop, coffees and nice & friendly service. The store is very chic and spacious with both indoor and patio seating area. Unfortunately at the moment, the outdoor view is block by the construction so it's abit boring. Inside is nice and Europe vibe with plenty of Europe foods pics hanging on the walls and the baked goods smell. The foods are generally great, not too sweet and not too salty and heavy. Simply delish!

    The Le Parisien Brie-Apple-Walnut at Moulin is a delicious combination of sweet and savory. Creamy Brie, crisp apple, and crunchy walnuts on a baguette.

    I'd been craving buttery pastries for weeks, and on Monday I happened to be in the area. I'd stopped by Forest Ave and realized Moulin was nearby too! I've been to the Newport location maybe three or four times, so I'm pretty familiar with their pastries. I was excited to finally visit the Laguna Beach spot. It's definitely smaller than Newport, but as long as they have the pastries, I'm happy. Everything in the case looked incredible--I honestly wanted to try them all. I settled on a butter croissant, a pain au chocolat, and a cannelle. Clearly, I wasn't holding back; the craving needed to be satisfied that day. My favorite was the cannelle--I could really taste the rum, and now I regret not grabbing five or six of them. Also, I'm very glad I went on a Monday... I can't imagine what parking is like on the weekend.

    French Coffee and Pastry Shop Vibes with Pigeons. Moulin was Michelin Bib Gourmand and it has expanded into three locations: Newport Beach, Dana Point, and Laguna Beach. First tasted the French Pastries at a food event in Newport and I legit loved every bite! When I saw Moulin in Laguna Beach I had to pay a visit. This time I opted for something savory instead of sweet. Chicken Pesto Baguette. Definitely enjoyed the quality ingredients and the needed punch of the mustard to complement the baguette. Whether you are into people watching, drooling over their desserts, Moulin has a bit of everything with a French Twist: Crepe, Croissants, and Coffee! They also sell day old pastry in bags for $10, so naturally I grabbed a bag for the road :)

    I Loved this place... the ladies behind the counter all speak French.... The menu is in French and English...I ordered a ham and cheese croissant....and a chocolate chip cookie... the croissant was flakey and buttery... the cookie was delicious too....... a walk up counter to order.... the staff is very attentive... they bring your food to the table... and come by often to check on you The restaurant is on a street with no driving or parking... blocked off for the restaurants...cute... Laguna Parking is issue... every thing is paid parking.... We parked on the street it is $6.00 per hour or you can do an all day parking for $25.00....

    Coffee with mille feuille
    Loc L.

    A great place for a Sunday morning. Coffee and mille feuille were delicious. Quick service with a beautiful French themed environment. The mille feuille was flaky, creamy, and crispy. The perfect amount of sugar too, as I don't usually eat desserts. A nice pastry with my black coffee.

    Everything was so fresh and delicious. I'm glad I got this ham egg and cheese croissant sandwich. I enjoy vegetables with my food, so the side salad was perfect to put into my sandwich. The restaurant has a cute European vibe. Friendly employees. Second time here. Would come again.

    We really wanted to love this place but it just kept missing the mark. Overall, it wasn't a terrible lunch but too many issues that would prevent us from returning. Staff is all super friendly and helpful whether it's at the cashier or the busser, they were all great. We had a small group so we ordered a variety of items. The baguette sandwiches were a good size but the baguettes were dry, stale, and very hard to chew. Nothing like true Parisien style. The jambon fromage and saucisson had a good amount of filling but the lettuce in the jambon fromage doesn't make sense. No jambon sandwich in France has lettuce in it. The croque madame was solid. Nicely toasted and thick bread, perfectly cooked egg, it was cheesy, great ham, but the side salad was just subpar. Wilted lettuce and no actual "dressing" except for simple balsamic. Now for the pastries. The plain croissant was soft, chewy, and very mild in flavor. The issue seems to be they stack all the pastries in a small "container" like display so they all become soft on top of one another. The almond croissant was actually pretty good! Crunchy with a semi sweet almond paste. Thee Parisien Flan was a mix. The custard or "flan" filling was great, rich, and velvety. The crust was lacking. Very tough and dry, not flaky and crumbly as it should be. And the Almond tart was just a fail. It was oddly gummy, the almonds were burnt, and the crust was rock hard.

    Outstanding Service Ruth! I just had to leave a review because Ruth gave me the best customer support experience I've had in a long time. From the very first moment, she was so kind, patient, and professional that it honestly felt like I was being helped at a cozy little café in France. The way she communicated was smooth and reassuring--like "no worries, I've got you" but in the most elegant, classy way. Merci beaucoup, Ruth!!!

    Stopped by Jedidiah Coffee with my husband and we tried a couple of their drinks. He got the…read moreespresso tonic, which was really nice and refreshing--especially for summer. The espresso with the bubbly tonic made it feel light and crisp. I got the iced saffron latte and absolutely loved it. The saffron gives it this warm, slightly floral flavor without being overpowering, and I really liked it over ice. It was smooth, refreshing, and just different enough from your usual iced latte. I'd definitely get it again.

    I feel like I could just copy and paste this for most coffee shop reviews now - "Fine, but…read moreexpensive..." I have to be honest, I was not impressed with this latte, and I am wondering why everybody raves about it. I got a vanilla latte and added vanilla cold foam as a little treat and somehow it still had a little to no flavor? I think it was $18 or $19 for 2 drinks, that's just crazy to me and it's my own fault, that should have been a warning, but they had a Ube cruffin (and my husband loves ube) and I ordered one without asking the price and imagine my surprise when it was $7! A little more than that I think actually. I get it - it's a pricey area, they're a block from oven views, it's Laguna, I'm too broke to live and exist there but good Lord. All of that aside, it is a very cute shop, very cute merch, and very good vibes with lots of sitting areas. They even had a cute little corner with toys for kids to play with, which I love!

The wait wasn't as bad as we thought and gave us a chance to review the menu better. This place has quick turnaround for sure.

We met Ahmed who usually doesn't work at this location who was an absolute gem. Ahmed is so knowledgeable about coffee sourcing and the information he shared was in such a delightful way. He welcomed us and let us know all about the coffee and showed us the most beautiful hospitality, we went with his recommendations and he did not steer us wrong. They are getting in an Ethiopian variety in a few days which sounds like it's going to be really good. I love the minimalist sharp clean Vibe and the coffee and service was fantastic. We tried a cortado and a cold brew their cold brew is a true 24-hour slow drip. I wish I had taken a picture of the unique looking contraption they use to make their cold Brew.

These drinks were around $6 with regular whole milk which was a good price! The interior is clean and nice. I saw one outlet, but I'm unsure if they have wifi. For parking, there's spots in the nearby Pavilions parking lot or around it. Overall, a solid spot for coffee drinks in the area.
