MOULIN — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

Perfection every single time.love the variety.there is no bakeries again that come even close to the quality and craftmanship of this place.truly unique .Finally TRUE french pastrie that taste just like the one in france and haven t been fused with anything .not as fancy as the newport location but cute and cozy. This is authentic you will not find better pastries in oc or inland.while the ham cheese baguette was a 1/10 , the vienoiseries were meh 5/10 ,the pastries are out of this word 10/10. I havent been able to find this quality even in LA . They pay attention to every detail . Im beyond picky and these made me almost wanna cry as it taste just like if you walked in a bakery in paris . The only down side is the insanely outrageous price point 15$ for a sandwish you can easily make at home 4-5 $ for vienoiserie ( you can buy a dozen at costco for that price) , 7$ for ONE crepe ( lmao , they could cut that price in half and still make a huge profit) and 8$ for one cake . For two people you will easily spend 50-60 if you add coffee on top .the location itself is small with limited selection but cute . My other down side was that there is NO HEATER OUTSIDE . Its attrociously cold early morning in winter maybe thats something they could invest into seeing how grossly overpriced everything is .overall come here for the pastries skip the sandwishes grossly overpriced which is a huge turn off . Its good for a special event or bday but not something you can go daily to pick up vienoiserie and baguette like you would in france ( as it cost more than double what u would pay in europe). They refresh their selection the pastries are pretty seasonal it wont be the same ones everytime you go back ( which is fun) . My tumbs up to the patissier for making incredible master piece pastries in US .the pastries are endlessly changing...

While driving around i needed some treats for my nieces 19th birthday I always rely on Yelp just like most of us well at least my family does I was near moulin I was browsing through the pictures and I said to myself why not it looks good but will it taste good? As I walked inside the place it’s beautiful staff is working etc there were a few customers coming behind me I tried to explain to the lady trying to help me it was my first time and everything look really good it was going to be hard to choose what I wanted but she could berely explain herself in English she had a heavy accent but that’s ok I just told her 1 of each please she filled to boxes of treats as I got home everyone loved them I wanted to say thank u ,your desserts look and taste finger licking good you can tell every design on every pastry look so beautiful it’s pretty pricy But they...

Place is busy, I do give you that credit, but the system is entirely chaotic There is a line for everything, I mean a separate line for everything!!! Just for a up of coffee after I paid for my croissant, I was directed to another counter, get in line for another 30 mins for a single cup of coffee. and each and every time I asked about my cup of coffee, its the same answer: " its coming and we are preparing it" when it only took 30 secs to pour some coffee into a single cup. But I ended up waiting at the counter for 30 mins? Yes its fancy french food, but the wait and service is just not worth it You guys in management needs a lot to learn how to do business in the USA, we are not in Paris here guys.... Starbucks would sell me a cup of good coffee in 3 mins, and they do get their...
