Food here is pretty good. Came here one day for brunch with a friend. The restaurant is split into 2 sides, the restaurant and cafe on one side, and the bakery on the other side. We ordered the egg benedict and the Croque Monsieur to share, and both items were delicious. We polished off our plates pretty quickly. Theres a nice patio outside to sit and have food, which was nice. After having brunch and coffee, we decided we wanted to fulfill our sweet tooth, so we moved over to the bakery side and ordered some baked sweets. The tarts were good, but was overly sweet and the flavors were a bit lacking, and all the baked goods were extremely expensive, 3 items cost more than our 2 brunch entrees. Bathrooms are very clean, easy parking. I would definitely come back for the brunch but probably not the bakery.

As close to authentic French as you going to get in Orange County. The owner is Thoroughly French, half is wait staff are not only French but also gorgeous. But never mind that. The food is spot-on, the pastries are pretty darn good. Although I will say that theyre baguettes and croissants leave a bit more to be desired, however its still probably the best croissant in Orange County. The omelets are cooked just right, the chicken is to die for. Their drip coffee is even good.. dont bother to come here if youre just going to have a cold sandwich. Actually eat something off the menu and you will not be disappointed. This place is great for entertaining

New fresh restaurant on Forest Ave in Laguna Beach. Moulin is a very nice authentic French Restaurant. Well trained friendly staff are very, I mean very friendly. All healthy choices. Beautiful artful interior. You will love Moulin, I did. Some reviewers mention the prices are a bit high but come on, this is a very pricey area on the best street in Laguna Beach. Anyone visiting should expect a somewhat pricey menu for the experience and the time spent in this exceptional area of Southern California. We are talking the best.

Very experienced, amiable, and knowledgeable waiters. Pierre was excellent in refilling our Belgian beers and helpful in providing recommendations and non dominating entertainment. The happy hour food was a surprisingly good deal. The cheese croquettes were a crowd pleaser for our cheese loving family. But the bitterballen and bacon brie were hit or miss for our party, though I thoroughly enjoyed both! Lovely atmosphere in Laguna! Worth a try and definitely going back!

Came here for brunch on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. I was confused by the two sides to the place but apparently one side is the bakery. They dont have a ton of vegetarian options, but the woman helping me was very kind in getting me to figure out my choices. I ordered an omelette, which was okay. I also had a bit of their pastries and cookies, which was ok too. Overall, its a mediocre spot with nothing I could recommend.

Looking for an authentic French restaurant? Look no further! This place definitely gives off that feel. They sell other goods besides just serving food. Makes me feel like I just walked into a mom and pop shop in France, without even being there. I got the LOmelette Moulin. It came with salad, which was very tasty, without it being overbearing. The dessert was good too! I would totally come back here again!

The chicken and mushroom omelette was decent but I felt the need to add pepper. The citron crepe was a new experience. The sugar added a granular texture which felt richer while not being too sweet. The whipping creme was thick like a soft vanilla ice cream. Very delicious. My favorite aspect is the environment. The rich darks of the wooden tables to the walls adorned with french memorabilia.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and I enjoyed by Croque Monsieur and salad on a lovely afternoon on the outdoor patio. The salad was fresh and the Croque was light but flavorful with a great balance between the soft bread, saltysweet ham and the creamy béchamel. There was a good vibe and energy inside which was inviting an wanting me to come back and explore there other food.

Ive only been the one time to this new place, but intend to return. It seems a proper European grocery and cafe. Not cozy, but a great location, a patio, and an authentic experience. Had a pretty good cappuccino and tiny Danish pastry.

Just walked up to the place in our leisure venture in Laguna. Walking in was a delight with all of the appetizing smells of a bakery, cafe and deli. Had a simple lemon crepe, croissant and a cappuccino. Delicious!

This is a ittle Paris in OC! Best pastries and gourmet food and breakfast! Otherwise you have to fly to Paris to get such great quality! Everyone there is so very kind, warm and respectful. Merci ×1000000!!!

Authentic French baguette. They werent lying when they said you will feel like you are in a French cafe. Except the service is definitely not typically French ( its a good thing). Will be back a lot.

Nice little place and deco. Pastries...ok. not too frenchy. Services is nice. Got a mini bague and butter, but they cant toast it, so its a little hard. Coffe is average. Would come back.

Agreed with most reviewers, we have a great breakfast here. The atmosphere is good and the food is fresh. The pastry is excellent. Thats why it gets crowded all the time we were there.

The Saumon Aux Légumes is the best salmon I have ever had. Cooked perfectly around the edges and inside. Comes with asparagus and a side salad which is equally as delicious.

unfortunately, the qualty of the baguette and croissants has become very erratic. Getting a fine baguette remains elusive but Layer Cake Bakery is the star in croissants.

Wonderful little place recommended by two gentlemen that "eat there at least three times each week"- I can see why. Loved it!
