Cafe Moulin is a cute breakfast spot in Shadyside. I tried the Bristol crepe, and my friend had the Liege Waffle Toast. Both were good, but lacked on the flavor side. The quantity of food was okay for the price, but the quality fell short for me. Also, buyer be ware, this place does not do substitutions except for a $2+ up charge. Like adding tomato to an omelette or swapping a side salad for fruit. This was a cute place to check off of my Walnut St bucket list, but it's not one I am eager to return to. read more

This place was great! They were so kind and helpful with my dairy allergy and everything we got was delicious!

Idk I used to come here all the time when I was still in school and swore by it. Their walnut street french toast used to be my favorite thing ever but this time it just didn't hit the way it used to.. It's good if you like really sweet things and brie, but I guess my taste buds no longer do! I still love their chai but wish they had oat milk as an option... PSA only giving 2 stars because we were seated at the back table and while we were eating, pieces of the wall started falling off and onto our table. When we told the server, she just nervously laughed it off. WTF? read more

So glad for Cafe Moulin that they've moved upstairs! Same great food but with abundant sunlight. What a pleasant spot, even on a rainy Saturday morning. My french toast was delicious as always but tried their breakfast sausage for the first time this morning and will definitely add it into my rotation. read more

The service is always excellent! We went around Noon on a Friday and there was no wait, which is rare but there's so many shops to explore while you wait it's a wonderful way to look around. It's a very bright, warm and welcoming place. The food is fantastic, with a wide variety between sweet and savory dishes. One of my favorite spots in Shadyside! read more

This was my first visit in four years so it was also my first time since it moved upstairs. The atmosphere is so much better! Light and airy. There are currently a few outside tables in the street out front of the restaurant. The long wait is still part of the experience and to be expected on a beautiful Sunday late morning at such a popular place in Shadyside. Their menu does feature savory, sweet, and omelet crepes. In addition, they offer a variety of toasts both French toasts and egg toasts; Plus a limited Healthy Options section with Salad and Fruit. I do miss their mixed greens version of the side salad that previously accompanied their crepe dishes. One crepe, Spinach & Feta (can add-on avocado and tomato) was plenty of food for me. The ginger peach ice tea was so refreshing and they offer real fresh squeezed orange juice. The staff from the hostess, food runner, to the waiter were awesome. And their POS system, Toast made splitting out our group of six's checks easily. Note for courtesy: when there is a waitlist, there is a limit to how long you have at the table. The metered street parking is free on Sundays. And if you're not great at parallel parking there is an alley of pull-in parking spaces behind the restaurant. And for those of you not familiar with the area, it's located on a side street just off the main business district strip of Walnut Street so you can conveniently walk around shopping either while you wait for a table or afterward to burn off the calories of a delicious crepe brunch! read more

A nice Shadyside neighborhood brunch place with crepes and omelets. I enjoyed my lunch in a comfortable quiet environment. I would go back.

AMAZING choice for breakfast/brunch! The Walnut St french toast is really unique breakfast option that I loved! My friend had the ham and swiss crepes which were also awesome. This is some of the best breakfast food in the city. read more

This is a great spot to grab a crepe. The atmosphere is cute and charming. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. I've tried several crepes on the menu and they've all been fantastic. It definitely seems like they use top notch ingredients. Highly recommend for a sweet or savory crepe, and I'm sure their other dishes (French toast, toasts, omelettes) are also great. The food can take a bit of time to come, but we were there during brunch so it was quite busy. read more

This place is delicious (their crepes and waffles are really popular)! The waiting will be really long however (expect 30-45 mins during brunch hours to be seated plus decent amount of time for food to be served) but you can hangout in the area. Overall, cute place and food is good. The iced white mocha was good, but there were bits of sugar that were settled at the bottom. Other than that, it was really refreshing and delicious! read more

A great spot in Shadyside to have brunch! Parking can be challenging since it's mostly street parking! There was 6 of us on a Sunday afternoon and we waited 45mins which was expected. We hung out at the coffee tree roasters for a bit! The menu had a variety! I got the Ham and Swiss with added egg. It was definitely filling!! My friend got the Barcelona French toast and it looked delicious! She was actually the first person to finished her plate! Next time I'm gonna try that!! My crepe was delicious as well! From looking at the reviews prior to coming and seeing the salad wasn't leafy greens as in the pictures was a little disappointing but other then that the service was great and decor was cute! read more

How I had never been here is a complete mystery to me. Found it on Yelp while just looking around, and decided that it would be a great place to try. So, we had a nice Saturday lunch here and really loved it! The house was PACKED, but service was quick and food was delicious. Their crepes are super tasty! There's a ton of options, and you won't be sorry with any of them. I also liked how they serve a very tasty side salad with the crepe order - it complements the dish perfectly. Prices are very reasonable, staff is friendly, and food is delicious! The most difficult part is finding convenient parking! We'll be back! read more

We didn't wait too long for our food but it wasn't very crowded for a Friday morning. Perfect location too, we were able to visit a few shops on the same street! Very interesting menu but not bad at all! I recommend visiting if you're in the area! read more

great iced coffee. good food and service. a little noisy. they are very nice and efficient.

Food is okay. I feel dishonesty in their business and I got scammed by their coffee order. Their House Coffee clearly indicated "free refill" on the menu, but when we ordered decaf House Coffee, the House Coffee order was automatically changed to Americano (I assume that the do not have decaf House Coffee), and Americano does NOT have free refill. The issue is that we were not told that they charge every single cup of the refill for our decaf Americano, until we saw the bill. Imagine if a party of 4 get decaf coffee and all happen to refill once, that's total of 8 cups of Americano, adding up to $25~$30. read more

Cafe Moulin - Bristol (Turkey Crepe) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A great local hangout, this cafe is pretty decent and you can usually get in without a wait. My favorite dish was the eggie veggie scramble which is a new addition to the menu (top tip, you should definitely add avocado). The service is friendly and prompt and while it is on the slightly more expensive side, it is still reasonable. My only criticism is that the hot teas they carry are very mediocre, they should definitely find a new brand of tea. read more

Stopped in for lunch today after a nice girl's morning with one of my best friends. Parking is in paid lots or paid street spots. It's a small space so you might have to wait (not sure about opentable or yelp's app since we went on a random Monday morning). I got the lox toast and it was delicious. The salmon was smoky and the little tomatoes and spread were a nice touch. I wished the ciabatta was toasted more. For dessert (we ran the Pittsburgh Half Marathon yesterday and were rungry) I for the walnut st crepe. It was nutty, caramelly, buttery and topped with granola. read more

When you first walk in, the decor has a French- modern vibe going for it. I really liked the aesthetic they aimed for here - you have the open kitchen to see the quality food but you still have a cozy French cafe decor. I will say the giant rooster on the one wall ventured a bit too modern for me and I preferred the brick painted wall as a cozier view, but we didn't come here for atmosphere did we? We came for crepes! From top to bottom the menu has options for everyone, from vegans and vegetarians to meat lovers and sweetlovers! My partner and I settled on their omelette- crepes, as we were looking for something heavier but my partner's sweet tooth could not shy away from suggesting a shared French toast platter. My partner got the marseille which comes with a bit of a salsa with a small kick atop this meaty flavorful pile of folded fluffy eggs, with a delightfully light crepe underneath. He added their aioli on the side just to try it out and let me tell you, if you're someone who likes hollandaise this is gonna be your JAM! Just a little dip on the fork before you pick up your bite and you'll be in heaven. My Ottawa was equally delightful with added béchamel sauce, though the presentation of the omelette wrapped in the crepe posed a bit of difficulty when eating. I'd suggest requesting the egg on top rather than wrapped just because the risk of losing your eggs out the back disassembles your dish, but the flavor is all the same. NOW FOR THE FRENCH TOAST. I truly thought I was getting something 100% sweet when I read whipped cream and raspberry sauce on French toast, but let me tell you I couldn't be more wrong. The Barcelona French toast is a MUST TRY for anyone who is looking for a dish when they can't decide savory or sweet. Picture a nicely cooked piece of soft French toast but between the next slice is this ooey-gooey layer of cheese that you didn't know could work so well! We were so taken by our "dessert" that we ate it first! The raspberry compote isn't overly sweet - it's like a natural tart-sweet that complements it well. I would eat here again. Mardi and the amazing staff they have there are ready to help you order and they truly respect a hot béchamel (it's only served in the crepe, never on the side). Don't forget to grab a coffee or latte while you're there, because they don't disappoint by any means! I'd probably stop by for just coffee if I was closer. read more

Brunch place in a quiet neighborhood with trendy modern decor. Service was very friendly and attentive. Had a quick brunch here. The fresh squeezed orange juice had the taste of real orange. Marseille omelete came with a nicely flipped piece of egg, generous portion of beef, and pleasantly spicy house sauce. Fruit was also nice and fresh. Not much to pick on overall. read more

Cafe moulin has really cute decor and they just recently renovated. They are owned by real Parisians and their food is authentic. My mom says that their Alaskan crepe is the best "lox crepe" in all of Pittsburgh. I liked their spinach and feta crepe. The couple of let downs is that they don't have a wide variety of items on the menu. Also the flour that they use makes your teeth feel really really weird. Lastly, the waitresses constantly hover over you making you feel uncomfortable. I've also gone a prior time and felt as though the waitresses were judging my every move. read more

Cafe Moulin - Alaskan Crepe and Spinach and Feta Crepe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I've been going to this spot for years and they've moved to a larger location, but it's still attached to the same building. It definitely feels a lot more open than the old spot. The dishes have had tiny changes over the years, but the food has always been consistently good. I had the Alaskan, and the smoked salmon has always been delicious and I feel like they do a good job of serving quality items. This place has also surprised me with the little things. One person in the party asked for milk to put into their tea, and the server asked if they'd like the milk heated. I've never had that presented as an option, and while cold milk was fine, it shows that they didn't mind going the extra mile to make sure the beverage was enjoyed. I also do feel as though that the menu has been expanded on over the years. There are quite a few savory and sweet crepe options, but there's also some panini and french toast options, and the menu offers far more vegan options than the average place, and that's a nice bonus depending on distant choices. read more

I was here for brunch on a weekday so the restaurant wasn't crowded at all, which was very nice, because on the weekends it can get kind of crazy. I had to wait to get in. read more

My favorite brunch place in Shadyside especially when im craving delicious coffee and crepes. Cafe Moulin is such an appropriate name for this quaint little cafe which will transport you to Paris when you step inside. Tucked away in a corner, this was my go-to brunch place for every other Sunday this past winter. My favorite go-to entree is the Super Belgium with a side of turkish sausage. The crepe is filled with cookie butter and topped with bananas, strawberries and chocolate sauce. The sausage provides the much needed savoriness which lacks in the sweet crepe. Sooo yum! My friend once got the salmon crepe and i tasted it and it was also delicious especially if you are looking for a light and savory option. My friends also love their paninis especially the ones with the harissa aioli. P.s: Dont forget to try one of their coffee drinks but seriously their black coffee is the best. I always get so sad days when i miss their daily brewed coffee (they usually stop brewing an hour before closing on weekdays). The cappuccino is good too but nothing beats their coffee. Must try! read more
