  • Beachfront French pastries and fresh sandwiches! Amazing and delicious quality ingredients. Great light and open atmosphere with nice patio seating and display cases. I wanted to eat it all! Dog friendly patio and right next to a bike way, the casual atmosphere was chill and comfortable for anyone. Great brunch spot right next to the beach.

  • Favorite local eatery for breakfast. Feels like you're sitting at a café in France. Ocean view, great selection of baked pastries and breads. The most beautiful Cafe au Lait too! Friendly staff.

  • This place is amazing, I had the best salmon sandwich here! Also had great croissant the staff was very nice. When I’m back in the area this will be my first stop. They have so many great sandwich options, this is a must when in the area!

  • This is an authentic French cafe on the corner, in San Clemente. We walked in for a cup of coffee, then stayed for breakfast, and got some wonderful items to go. The pastries were outstanding. We picked up a selection of Tarts and eclairs along with a baguette and some fig jam for our charcuterie later that afternoon. A welcoming staff, wonderful atmosphere, and delicious food.

  • Excellent all the way around, parking excluded but that’s the beach area for you. I stopped here the other day on a bicycle tide. Enjoyed it so much that I came back with my wife for lunch. Brilliant idea! Highly recommend for a great change of pace and atmosphere. Bring your walking shoes as the beach area calls

  • If you’re anywhere near San Clemente, you have to stop at Moulin. It’s like stepping into a little slice of Paris—cozy, charming, and full of incredible food. The pastries are unreal: buttery, flaky croissants, rich pain au chocolat, and desserts that look like literal artwork. Think glossy fruit tarts, elegant mousse domes, and delicate layers that are almost too pretty to eat… almost. They’re as delicious as they are beautiful. The sandwiches are just as amazing—fresh, packed with flavor, and served on the kind of crusty baguette that makes your whole lunch feel special. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the upbeat, happy vibe just makes you want to stay a while (especially if you grab a table out on the patio). Between the food, the energy, and those jaw-dropping desserts, Moulin is hands-down one of my favorite spots. Go for one thing, leave with a whole box.

  • I ordered their croissant sandwich and a cup of coffee, and both were outstanding. The croissant was incredibly flaky and buttery, perfectly complementing the savory fillings that made each bite memorable. The coffee was rich, smooth, and the perfect pick-me-up to round out the meal. The cafe itself exudes a charming, European vibe with an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The friendly and attentive staff added to the overall experience, ensuring that every detail was spot-on. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot for breakfast or a relaxing coffee break, Moulin is definitely a must-visit in San Clemente.

    Louis Bester
  • We moved to San Clemente in 1956, and this is one of my favorite places to visit. Their coffee and croissants are some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The location is perfect for a French Café with ocean views from the patio and inside by the windows. The staff are always polite and very courteous. Highly recommend for breakfast and lunch since they close early around 3pm.
