“ This has easily become my go to cafe in Napa, which says a lot considering its right in the center of downtown haha. It still has that small town local cafe feeling which is supported by the incredibly kind workers. The coffee, pastries, bread, and pizza are just all out of this world, and with great, reasonable price tags too! I always come back for their iced coffee and its very consistent in taste. Couldnt recommend this place more. ”
“ Best pastry in town and very nice atmosphere. We loved it so much that we came back another day to get pastry on our last day staying in Napa. Their chocolate croissant and kouignamann are both crispy and fresh and not too sweet. Cant wait to come back to Napa and get more pastry from them. ”
“ Ive been a fan of Moulin after discovering them at the Napa Farmers Market and was so happy to see the cafe open recently in downtown Napa. The creme patissiere filled pastry is among the best pastries Ive had on earth! Tasty coffee drinks. Friendly service. They have a series of tables outside, but no shade at this time, hence the four stars. Happy to up that if shade is available. Overall, its my new staple for coffee and baked goods in Napa. ”
“ Moulin is a gem! Its quite new in Napaduring my visit its only 7 weeks old. From amazing pastries to excellent coffee they have it all. Everything looked so good we had a really hard time making decisions. For pastries we got Matinee cannelle which is croissant dough bundles with cinnamon sugar on the inside. Its crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Cinnamon sugar compliments the butteriness. Flan fruit de la passion its like an elegant and elevated Portuguese egg tart. The crust is beautifully layered. The flan on the inside is custardy and omg the passion fruit flavor is so vibrant. It is chefs kiss! Chausson apricots croissant dough I believe with apricot jam on the inside. It is ,first of all, beautiful!! The layers are pretty and also add a lot of texture. The jam is not too sweet just right! Pain au Chocolat it is buttery but so light! The layers are exquisite. Crispy on the outside and so airy soft on the inside. For drinks we have Cappuccinoscoffee beans by Camellia Coffee Roasters its expertly crafted! Deliciously smooth and strong good cafe level coffee. Watermelon Shrub with fermented watermelon, and Topo Chico. The watermelon is locally sourced from Napa Farmers market. It is so refreshing in this hot weather. Sweet but not too sweet. Everything we got was absolutely delicious! We cant wait to come back! The place is beautiful with tall ceiling. You can see the bakery and the flour mill, so cool! Service is very friendly, and staff are so knowledgeable. Their recommendations are spot on. The barista is so good at his craft, so definitely get coffee to go with pastries. There are outdoor seatings. The table and chairs really match the vibes of this bakery. Small touch but makes a big difference Love this place! Highly recommend!! ”
“ Tried it yesterday at the Napa Farmers Market and couldnt wait to return. Next day early in the morning Im here. Follows little alley next to Fidelity Title to the rear. Hidden gem, but busy with outdoor seating. Pet friendly! ”
“ This is cute coffee spot nestled down a little alley way in the heart of downtown Napa. Good lattes, and chill vibes. The only downfall is that seating is very limited if its busy. ”
“ Coffee made by a guy with a manbun gonna be great! The pastries are absolutely excellent as well. Reminds me of some of my favorite haunts in Portland home. ”
“ If you love excellent pastries and breads, this is the place. One of the best in the Bay Area the country even! and rivals many of our favorite bakeries in Paris and elsewhere in France. The folks who run this place are lovely, and the coffee is great, too. ”
