This charming cafe is situated in South Coast Plaza, conveniently next to the escalator leading to the bridge connecting the two buildings. In our search for high-quality French pastries in the area, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of delightful options available. The staff was incredibly helpful in assisting us with our selections and even prepared a lovely gift box. The pastries were exceptional and brought joy to everyone at the dinner.

Love the food, the service, the atmosphere. I love the omelette moulin, the little puff with chicken and mushrooms, the stack of sliced potatoes, some of the desserts. The staff is super nice and French (mostly). Loved the whole vibe. It is crowded and parking is also crowded.

This place has never disappointed. Awesome sandwiches, wine and fine French desserts. Yes it is a little pricey, but it's not your downtown French Bistro. It's South Coast. There is a good reason why this place has lasted for so long. The vanilla flan outstanding and the ladies working there were phenomenally courteous, helpful and nice. An A plus just for that alone and thank you to the owners too for vetting your employees well!

I came here with my 3 daughters from Corona. I loved the atmosphere. It's outdoors, not a big line. Many dessert options to choose from. I had the chicken pesto sandwich. We most enjoyed the outdoor seating and having a relaxing time with our dessert and drinks.

Moulin means best drip coffee (regular and decaffeinated), great bakery, nice service, and beautiful outdoor seating area (on the bridge). Have a relaxing time with the Sbarros. The team in this Moulin Cafe are the best; they really exhibit genuine customer satisfaction.

Love the OG spot but this is even closer to my house. AND somehow the service was even more amazing got some really great treats that I flew with including a sandwich and cake and an apple turnover. Most decadent flight food it was a punishment to all who could see my spread. Lol

Moulin at South Coast Plaza offers a delightful mix of classic French pastries and savory vegan options, like the rich, glossy chocolate eclair and a flavorful vegan sandwich packed with fresh ingredients. The ambiance is chic yet welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a quick indulgence or a leisurely coffee break.

It's a really good place to dine at. The sandwiches are really good even maybe exotic Drinks are also very good especially the orange soda. The only really downside is that it's pricey but expect prices to be a little high at these places recommend would come again.
