Moulin Cafe Patisserie

Very good pastry

Sandwiches are delicious and the outside patio is like eating in Paris

How happy am I that Moulin took over this perfect mini bakery location?

Very.

Husband and I love to visit the mall right when the shops open in order to avoid the rush crowd. However, we need a little latte break prior.

Situated at the South Coast Plaza side of the Bear Street pedestrian walkway, is the mini version of its main location down the street, as a matter of fact, in Newport Beach.

People don't know this but I am an almond croissant connoisseur. LOL. Any bakery I visit, there is no doubt that I will choose the croissant aux amandes.

No other bakery can hold a candle to Moulin's almond croissant. It is packed with an almond filling that is fluffy and light with just the amount of flavor you need to pair with a latte (i love that it comes with a little piece of dark chocolate). Also, croissant is topped with all the sliced toasted almonds it can hold. Besides my husband, this is indeed my other true love.

I love their outdoor cafe with all the lovely French bistro tables and weaved chairs. It's a slice of gay Paris right here in sunny California! What a way to get some fresh air *smile*

Anyway, they have a good selection of pastries plus salads, baguettes and hot plates like quiche or croque monsieur. Perfect place to take a break with your favorite person or go solo!

You will be sure to find us here any time we visit South Coast Plaza!

á bientôt!

It was delicious!!! Tasted like cooked at home really really good.

A petite version of the local classic Café, patisserie in Newport Beach. Perfect for a little break from shopping or watching holiday shoppers go by.
