The food and atmosphere here are amazing. I had the Amsterdam French Toast breakfast with scrambled eggs and Turkish sausage. Everything was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. This is a small establishment so you can expect to wait a little for a table. The short wait was certainly worth it. Once inside the service was prompt and friendly. I will most definitely dine here again. Hopefully soon!! read more

The food was adequate and ready only 10 minutes late. However, the utter disregard the staff shows for the basics of COVID safety was appalling. Apparently, they believe that masks were developed to protect your chin. Three members of the cooking staff were wearing their masks in that manner. What precisely is the point of that? Either you believe they are necessary or you don't. If the former, then wear them so that they work. If the latter, then don't even bother with them on your chin but advertise the fact that you are not bothering with masks. read more

Yelp listing shows Vegan options. Typically at a good restaurant, they are easily able to substitute almond milk for regular milk, soy product for meat or eggs, etc. very simple, my children are able to make these substitutes at home themselves. Here, your option is a salad. That is NOT "vegan options" when you are a specialty breakfast place in an upscale part of Pittsburgh. You can't be the hipster basement French breakfast restaurant and not have more vegan options. Good coffee. Fast service. Helpful staff. read more

I am VERY surprised at the positive ratings this place has. My boyfriend and I had a bad experience. I'm not usually too picky about service, but it was truly poor. I would be a little more understanding if the place was short staffed, but nope - there weren't too many customers and there were several waitresses. As soon as we stepped in someone told us "sit anywhere". We sat down at a table and she made us get up and said "any of the small tables". Once again, we sat down and she moved us another time. She took our order and we didn't see her again until the end when she gave us our check without asking if we wanted anything else. My boyfriend got the Sofia omelette crepe, which was supposed to have sausage in it. It was a sad looking omelette with three pieces of sausage on top. Not the best prices either. The Nutella hot chocolate tasted like one of those prepared powdered ones (no Nutella flavor) and cost $4. Their vanilla latte tasted nothing like vanilla and also cost $4. We paid about $35 for very very very average food and poor service. I don't recommend going here unless you're starving and happen to pass by. read more

It's pretty much every man for himself on arrival. Waited at least 10 or 15 mins before waitress came over to take names. If I hadn't shouted to her that we had been waiting, she'd have seated others who came in after us first. They need a greeter on busy days to avoid chaos. I ordered a crepe with fire roasted chicken and harissa. If there was three ounces of chicken, i'd be surprised, more likely two. I spent most of my meal thinking, well, there'll probably be some in the next bite. Don't get me wrong, the crepes are good, but prices are a bit high to be skimping. Paid extra for avocado and literally got about a sixth of a small avocado. Yes, Americans are spoiled on portion size, but this place needs to get a clue. read more

I simply love this place! The food is always excellent ! It's truly does remind you of being in a Parisian cafe! Very very similar atmosphere with the small space and exceptional food. Every chance I get I go with my daughter who loves it just as much as I do! Only downfall is it's always crowded - FOR A REASON ! Absolutely LOVE! You have to try ! read more

This is one of my absolute favorite places to go. I've tried several items on the menu and every thing is delicious. The service is always good and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. read more

Had brunch twice. A cozy place. It was interesting to see how they cook while waiting.

I like this place. Its a small cafe located by Walnut St. You get a french feel and I loved the crapes. I had their Walnut and cheese crape. It was franch, big crape with nice touch of syrup... read more

Cafe Moulin - Walnut and blue cheese crape - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

The savory crepes are so die for. Best crepes in Pittsburgh. I highly recommend trying the Marseille, chicken savory crepe which is very decadent. Also there house coffee is much better then other breakfast places read more

Amazing food, truely delicious if you have any kind of taste buds in your mouth hole. Amazing coffee too, I would come just for the coffee. We tried the crepes and liked it so much we came back and tried the French toast. Delicious. Good service too, and fair prices for the quality of the food. If your looking for breakfast or lunch or coffee, come here. read more

This is by far my favorite breakfast place!! The crepes are too die for and the staff is so friendly! They even gave me a desert crepe once when my friend wouldn't share hers read more

I just ordered for delivery and I was very impressed! So delicious! I recommend getting a savory and sweet crepe to enjoy. Generous fillings made me appreciate all the flavor combinations! I will be ordering again soon! read more

Walk downstairs and enter deliciousness.... Café Moulin is an excellent spot for a weekday breakfast. I came here on a Monday with a friend and was seated immediately. The service is friendly and fast, and the wait staff didn't mind answering a lot of questions for first timers (no the sausage is not spicy, yes dark chocolate pairs as well with raspberry as white chocolate does). I had the French toast, specifically the Mykonos Platter, and it was absolutely delicious. The sausage was tasty and the perfect portion. And, while I typically don't go for the pricier beverages, if you are a fan of chai and don't get the chai tea latte you are absolutely doing yourself a disservice. This was one of the best chai teas I have ever tasted.... ever.... and I drink a lot of chai anywhere I go. If it was just a bit less expensive, I might have crossed into five stars but this is definitely a shadyside breakfast experience worth having! read more

The service here was unbearably slow even though it really wasn't that crowded. The hazlenut hot chocolate was mind blowingly delicious. 'ow-(h)ever..(I had to get Jamaican for a second) it was probably about 50 percent foam. Not cool! I really couldn't understand why three crepes (one with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella; one with bananas and nutella; and one whose ingredients escape me but called for brie on the menu) took so long to come out. How difficult it is to make a crepe? I'd imagine that the batter is pre-made and all you have to do is cook it and fill it. Our order took over 30 minutes. Not only was the service slow, but my sister's friend, specifically asked for no brie in his because he cannot have dairy products. Sure enough, it was in there and he had to continue to wait. Once you get past the slow service, the food was quite good. I was glad that we stumbled across it, but it ate into the little time that I had left and did not allow for all the things that I had hoped to do before my flight left. *le sigh* C'est la vie... read more

As a Frenchman, I want to say that what this place offers is not even remotely close to savory French crepes. The so called "classic" section of the menu does not propose the basic ham-cheese-egg crepe. A quick chat with the owner revealed that he didn't even know that crepes are traditionally served with cider (note that I don't blame him for not serving alcohol). They use regular flour instead of buckwheat flour. The avocados in the Bristol crepe weren't ripe. The Alaskan crepe was OK. Positive notes: nice interior design and polite staff. read more

Not sure why this place got such good reviews. Food was mediocre at best; tiny pizza lace with no room for people to wait.

Was on my way to Pamela's and decided to pop in here instead. It was a great decision. I had the Turkish Coffee and the Black Rose Waffle. I like strong, black coffee and the Turkish coffee did not disappoint. It was actually slightly sweet. With Turkish coffee and espresso sometimes sugar is a necessity, but not here. Now for the waffle. Another reviewer said his waffle tasted stale or dry. Yes the waffle was dense, with a crispy exterior. Could it possibly be a little lighter? Sure, but I wasn't at all put off by it. And besides with the fresh berries, the airy whipped cream and the amazing Belgian chocolate, the density of the waffle is a welcome contrast of texture. I'll be back with my family. read more

Ducked in for a coffee and found a great French breakfast. Little bit of Paris in Pittsburgh.

first, this place would have been three stars if not for the fact that it replaced crepes parisiennes... first, ambiance, if you don't care skip it. the renovations and location look good but now it's a completely sit down restaurant yyet still with a paper menu that you would expect of a suburban pizza joint. the place reeks of middle brown pretentions with little to back up it's nature. french people can be rude i am told but at least they make good food. further, mixed in are some of the alternative commercialized hipster movements such as a focus on italian coffees and water served not in a glass but rather a jar with a straw. this place is seeking a younger but classy ambiance and in my opinion falls flat for trying too hard. also the music was fairly lame, crepes parisiennes went the whole hog and played very french music, cafe moulin plays slow alt pop... still, good coffee and in a ceramic cup. so plus twenty points. as to the food, it seemed fitting that i would order my typical order at crepes parisiennes. i can't speak to moulin's sweet crepe, but their attempt of a tomato and cheese crepe was sub par. a tasteless crepe with cherry tomatoes and an overabundance of cheese to cover the lack of anything else. the cherry tomatoes make the mix less juicy as they retain much less water in cooking, further the cheese here was fattier leading it to remain rubbery at serving temperature. at one point i realized i was simply chewing a large chunk of cheese. did i have fun acting like a snoody critic right now? yes, so this was a bit meaner than my typical fare, but still i won't be back unless i just want something sweet and a cup of coffee, then maybe... read more

I've actually wanted to go to brunch here for a long time, and I don't have any excuses as to why I didn't earlier- seeing as I live right down the street. I actually didn't like the venue very much, as it seemed to be more favorable for a coffee shop rather than a restaurant. Located in the bowels of a Walnut side street, it was small and quaint- which unfortunately doesn't bode well for the brunch crowd. It was way too crowded, and I ended up sitting right by the door that people kept opening and shutting and it was unbearably cold. The food was average to above average for brunch, and the service was so-so. I was a bit disappointed with my experience but would consider stopping in again. read more

Nutella!! Cookie Butter!! Crepes!! Seriously, who would not love it here? Love the banelle (banana and Nutella crepe) and the French toast with strawberries is cooked perfectly. The staff is just so nice as well! Don't be put off by the basement entrance: it's actually quite cozy and inviting once you get inside. The house ice tea is refreshing and the Nutella hot chocolate is fabulous. Did I forget to mention the Nutella menu items?! They have a nice list of savory items as well but they always get me at "Nutella"! Kid friendly and free wi-fi read more

This place just opened and a friend and I stopped in for breakfast today. We were both very pleasantly surprised by the experience. I had an crepe omelette, with roasted chicken, avocado and spinach and it was fabulous. Eggs were fluffy, and the ingredients were of very high quality and ample - I needed to take half with me for lunch. I lived in France for four years and have eaten at many creperies; this one is really impressive and worth supporting! My Cafe Latte was excellent as well. read more

Had the Bristol crepe with goat cheese substituted for Brie, paired with a vanilla latte. Seriously some of the best food you can buy in this city... All for less than $15! Truly a gem with great service and great food. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting or local. read more

The meal was very inoffensive, if not memorable. Service was attentive. My savory crepe with eggs, cheese and bacon was slightly under-seasoned but still tasty enough. The star of the show was a friend's french toast with berries and goat cheese--delicious. read more

Very cozy cafe nestled in a corner of Shadyside. The inside is very intimate, little small. There is additional seating outside as well. The service is wonderful and our server was a very friendly young woman. The house coffee is delicious, for one. The food is all fresh - fresh ingredients and not too long of a wait even on a slightly busy day. The healthy yogurt breakfast parfait was really delicious although there was less yogurt and more granola. Fruit was all fresh which is a nice change from others who usually pile on smushy and old fruits into parfaits! Overall good vibes - would come again. read more

We tried both sweet and savory brunch items and the taste was unbelievable. I will definitely be going back! I was skeptical when we had to walk down in what seemed like a basement to get inside, but the environment was very cute and enjoyable. read more

I def miss the old place. They pack the patrons in here like it's NYC; yet completely ill-equipped to handle big crowds. 45 min wait for a crepe?!? Really? read more

It takes FOREVER!!!! I arrived at 10:00 and did not get our food at 11:00. They said it's "computer problem".... Poor service

Very nice staff. Strawberry/ chocolate crepe was amazing. Gave me complimentary coffee while I waited for my to go. Freshly brewed at that

I've been to Cafe Moulin a couple of times, both of them with friends. The atmosphere is cute and charming, which makes it great for social gatherings. It's also next to a bunch of shops that you can visit before or after your meal. Personally, I felt the food was average. I got the Marseille crepe, which felt a little heavy on the harissa. It came with a small side of greens. The portions are enough, but probably won't fill you up if you're arriving ravenous or have a larger appetite. read more

I tried the ham and swiss crêpe and a cappuccino today. They were both okay, but I wasn't overly impressed - the cappuccino was not one of the better ones I've had in the area, and the crêpe had a big thick (1/2 inch?) slice of ham in it, complete with gristly bits which were hard to cut. At other places, it's usually thin sliced luncheon meats which I think works better in this scenario. The side salad it comes with was fine, but not especially exciting. On the plus side, they have a couple of outdoor tables which work well on a pleasant day, and the interior has an appealing cozy ambience. The service was also prompt and friendly. read more

Ordered breakfast from Postmates, the Chef Salad (entree) and French Toast with both strawberries and banana- each at extra cost for add on. The salad that arrived was small- a side salad size container, which is not an $11 salad. It's supposed to have only avocado, goat cheese, over easy eggs, tomatoes. I received lettuce, 2 fried to death oily eggs, and a small amount of oily sautéed zucchini and onion. No avocado, no goat cheese, and with the addition of disgusting oily vegetables suited only for inclusion in something else, not as THE salad components. The menu offers a House Salad (no eggs) that includes these vegetables but also avocado, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds- none of which were on my salad. So it wasn't a mistake but rather a throwing together of pieces of junk from two different menu items, omitting all of the expensive ingredients that make up the substance of these salads, and resulting in a completely unacceptable and inedible mess that I immediately threw away. The French Toast arrived cold. The extra fee banana that I'd expressly instructed be only included if firm bananas were available (because my last order with them used overly ripe, mushy banana)- 5 thin slices of overly ripe, mushy banana. The extra fee strawberries- ALL unripe, gross and poor quality and the side was half blackberries instead. The two add ons paid for equalled a total volume of one add on as well. With only half the syrup for an order too, this means really only half the order of 2 toast has any topping and all the fruit is gross (omitting my 4 super tiny, unintended blackberries). Pro tip: If you don't have ALL of the key ingredients required of a menu item offered, don't slop on some crap and have it delivered, just cancel the order for that item or offer a real substitute. And if you can't get, or won't pay for, strawberries in season, then put blackberries or something you can obtain in sufficient quantity and quality on your menu item instead of promising one thing and then delivering a partially substituted and ridiculously low quality version of the ingredients someone paid for in reliance of the menu description. read more

fav brunch spot in town. can never go wrong with the savory crepes!

Very great place to get some brunch. Their savory crepes are to die for! Also anything from the coffee drink menu is really good.

The perfect breakfast! I wish I lived in Pittsburgh as this would easily become my new breakfast/brunch spot. The menu had so many amazing choices that I had a hard time even picking one option. The coffee was fresh, the ambience cozy, and the food: ridiculously good. Thank you! read more

Got the Alaskan Crepes Omelette, was alright, no frills. The omelette part is really tender and good, but didn't really like the salmon in them, a tad too salty for my taste, the coffee is nice. All in all wasn't that impressed. read more

There crepes are amazing!! I got great Belgium for the first time and Alaskan with eggs for the second time. Love walnut street only because of all the great restaurants you can check out here! read more

I had the ham and cheese crepe, which came with a delicious salad and a piece of fruit. The crepes were very authentic in my opinion! I also had the Turkish coffee which was great! It's a small place and gets very busy on the weekends, so come early or during the week. Overall, I highly recommend coming here! read more

Partial Halal menu available. Turkish sausage and beef option is halal with selected items. Food looks and tastes great.
