“ What a find! We've lived in Havering for over a decade before we discovered this hidden gem and I honestly regret all the wasted years buying coffee and pastries from the big chain coffee shops where I'm served by teenagers who are dead behind the eyes. But don't let me confuse you. This isn't a coffee shop, it is a patisserie and boulangerie but I would go out of my way to go here just for a coffee alone. My husband and I first came here for breakfast to try it out after a recommendation from a friend, and upon entering we were dazzled by the sheer vastness and quality of their offering. Multiple types of breads, cakes and pastries. All freshly-baked and golden rather than those limp, pale specimens you see elsewhere. Every time we went in we felt compelled to try something new and nothing disappoints. That being said, whatever we buy we will also typically purchase a few mille-feuille to go. Honestly this place is amazing in that every item is of exceptional quality, but also so incredible reasonably-priced. The decor is quaint with cute and interesting artwork dotted around and it feels warm and homely. The owner is a real character, greeting regulars and new customers with the same warm, open, friendly demeanour as if you were a guest at her home. We now take the walk most Saturdays from our home in Harold Wood to Hornchurch so we can get enough steps in to justify treating ourselves to a delicious breakfast (and the walk back for the mille-feuille). If you haven't checked it out before, I implore you to do so. For quality AND price, you won't do better locally, you''ll be supporting a local, independent business AND you can avoid the dead-eyed teens at the local chains. ;) ”

“ Wonderful - from the coffee, food and service. Owner is such a lovely person, as is her staff. I, like many of her customers have been visiting for more than 15yrs...most, if not all who visit 1st time..return! Don't understand very negative review below...seems very unjustified. PS, I also love the decor including the pictures on the wall ...having said that I'm usually too busy enjoying the food and atmosphere! ”

“ This place is a must-visit in Hornchurch! I absolutely love it. The food is delicious and fresh, and the cakes are made fresh every morning. The coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had, and I’m a coffee addict. The staff, especially the owner, are super friendly and welcoming. It’s always a great place to be. P.s they don’t do eggs Benedict or have salad cream but the poached eggs dishes are a big yes ”

“ This is our go to favourite cafe anywhere... Delicious lunchtime meals, a wonderfully naughty pastry and a coffee that tastes so much better than the chain coffee shops. Great friendly service and a perfect ambiance. What's not to like. 10/10 ”

“ Lovely French Cafe. You could almost be in Paris. The only cafe I know where you need to book and rightly so. Food service and atmosphere is superb. The cakes and patisserie on another level. Tip book in advance to avoid disappointment ”

“ Lovely little french cafe with a huge variety of choice for sweet and savoury. Great customer service. We can't wait to go back to try something else!! Just editing to add more pictures of new visits ”

“ Absolutely amazing! I have had coffee and cakes in Le Moulin before which I have always enjoyed. The cakes are exquisite! A friend recommended them for birthday cakes. I have just ordered a beautiful 18th birthday cake with a one day turnaround. I have to say that nothing was too much trouble, loads of advice and ideas given and being able to order and collect a masterpiece the next day is fantastic! In addition to great value. Thank you so much. ”

“ We’ve been coming to Le Moulin for some fifteen years and have never been disappointed. We’ve ordered the most beautiful celebratory cakes and the pastries at this lovely little patisserie are exquisite. The cafe has a lovely homely atmosphere and the owners are always welcoming. We have tried many other menu items and they are always well prepared. We love the charm of Le Moulin and always look forward to returning. ”
