Diploid

Wonderful experience at Diploid. We were able to walk in without much of a wait. We got the smoked trout pancakes and sweet pancakes with some juices. Everything was amazing. The smoked trout pancakes were paired with some goat cheese cream and pink peppercorns that really balanced the flavor so well. The sweet pancakes had a really fresh whipped cream that wasn't overly sweet like some places can be. Service was friendly and efficient. We were very happy with our meal and would recommend for anyone looking for fresh brunch options.

We did not want the hotel breakfast so we decided to walk out of the hotel and see a place where we can eat. Found this a block away - am so glad we found this. We had pancakes that was so fluffy! We had the sweet and savory one. Great way to start the day. We went back the next day and had muffins - with egg and bacon. Nice location, cute and cozy place and friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend this place.

A French café known for its fresh and delicious offerings in a very beautiful location. They serve various egg dishes, coffee, and fresh juices. I highly recommend it, but the portion size is quite small. The staff was very polite and welcoming

This nice little restaurant was near the hotel where I was staying in Lyon so it became my go to place for having breakfast. It serves both sweet and savoury dishes: I had the granola and the pancakes, they were both very good. Prices are in line with those of other similar restaurants.

Wonderful breakfast/brunch experience in Lyon. The food was outstanding, the service was friendly and the place is adorable. We went here three times during our 3 day stay in Lyon. The Turkish eggs were my favorite - they have a kick 🌶️! My husband enjoyed the gluten free smoked trout pancakes as well. We would certainly come back here, and I highly recommend it. Good selection of gluten free options as well.

Everything we ate was delicious and at a very fair price. We got a chicken hamburger with pico de gallo and it was just perfectly made. It looks like they really focus on the ingredients they use. The only thing I noticed is they didn't know the brand of chocolate they use, as they seemed to be concerned about their sourcing, I think chocolate should be taken into account as well.

We had brunch at Diploid in Lyon and were thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a trendy yet relaxed vibe that made it the perfect place to unwind on a weekend morning. The staff were friendly and attentive, striking just the right balance between professional and personable. The brunch menu was creative and well-curated, with high-quality ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. We particularly enjoyed the balance between sweet and savoury options – everything was fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. The coffee was excellent too, rich and smooth – a great complement to the meal. Overall, Diploid offers one of the best brunch experiences we’ve had in Lyon. It’s a spot that gets everything right: great food, great service, and a great setting. We’ll definitely be coming back!

A gorgeous little cozy cafe that’s a must try if you’re in Lyon! Plenty of gluten free options savoury and sweet - including pancakes which are a highlight! The coffee and other flavoured lattes are amazing too! The staff are always friendly and smiling!

There are 32 Yelp reviews of Diploid, and they still have a five star rating. This is almost unheard of in the annals of Yelp. I am about to give them a five star rating myself , making that 33 Yelp reviews and they still have a five star rating. Does that mean this place is solid gold? Yes it does. * * * Diploid is a Seattle style coffee house with a focus on American computer nerd style upscale breakfasts. They can give any coffee house in Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, or Brooklyn a serious run for their money. The coffee is great. The breakfasts are absolutely positively outstanding. * * * Diplo is one of the few places in town you can get a serious flat white. Their flat whites are Australian style rather than London style. (Creamy and not bitter.) The flat whites were up there with anything you could get in Sydney or Melbourne. I had the least interesting breakfast - which was still damm fine. This was a Japanese breakfast tamago sando. Super high, the way Japanese sandwiches tend to be. Super small and square the way Japanese sandwiches tend to be. It was entertaining and filling. * * * The star of the show however was my wife's breakfast. O M G This was a Norwegian Egyptian fusion breakfast. You heard that right. Norwegian Egyptian fusion. You start with dukkah which is an Egyptian flour made of hazelnuts, sesame seeds, cumin and coriander. These are mixed with enough flour to make a mix you could make a pancake batter with ... and yes ... they make a pancake out of it. The hazelnuts, sesame and spices make this the most savory pancake you have ever had in your life. Then they put smoked trout on top, with yogurt sauce and a poached egg. The yogurt contains extra lemon juice to give it the tartness of a traditional Scandinavian smoked fish serving. While the pancake is Egyptian, this type of flavor could easily show up as a Norwegian or Swedish breakfast bread - which could easily be savory with robust spices. How does it taste? Like out of this forking world! It was totally addictive. One of the reasons I did not like my tamago sandwich, Was that after one bite of the smoked trout hazelnut pancake combo, Nothing else on the planet seemed to be worth eating. I wanted smoked trout pancakes more than anything short of oxygen. * * * Just for the record though, the menu at Diploid is extensive. Looking at the other tables showed people were eating all sorts of exotic treats. Pancakes come in many forms at Diploid. And there are all sorts of American and Egyptian breakfasts if pancakes don't particularly move you. * * * Diploid draws a crowd. There is often a substantial wait to get in. If there is a line in front of you, just wait. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And how many croissants and pain chocolates can you really eat anyway?

Food was yummy. Service was good. Coffee was good. And place was nice and cozy. Wi-Fi availability helps too!

While waking around, i found this little place, and it looked interesting. We tried it the next day for breakfast. They have a full breakfast like I'm use to getting. We got a little table in the back. Hard to describe but it looks like it's out back but there's a roof and it's closed in. Cute and very nice. We ordered the full breakfast and pancakes. We got our coffee to start. This was the best coffee of our entire 2 week trip so far. Coconut Latte and a mocha Latte. The meal came out just like we ordered with crispy bacon. These were also the best pancakes we have had while here. Good size and very fluffy. If we were here another week, we would be eating breakfast here everyday. The ambiance was really nice. Ŵe were In the corner. The service was great and fast. Everything looked so good, and it was. The pancakes were tasty and fluffy. The table next to us said the same. I will miss this place. I wish I could bring you home with me. I would be here everyday. Recommend highly.

Good food and service. Nice atmosphere in a great location. With good free wifi and convenient power outlets, it's a nice place to get a spot of work done while enjoying a coffee.

Very cute and unassuming cafe. If you want to order to go, it is at the counter, but if you are sitting there is table service. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I know it is a very american thing to order iced coffees and lattes in winter, but they were willing to do so for us. It was appreciated. We tried three kinds of pancakes and they were all amazing. The savory with bacon and the savory with halloumi were perfection. A little sweet, a little salty, soft, fluffy and warm, my mouth waters thinking of them. We also had the sweet with carmelized bananas. Insert drool here :) The bathroom was clean, as was the whole place. If you are in the area, I recommend. One star off for the variety of the menu.

Seated fairly quickly in 5 minutes via virtual queue. Staff was friendly and food was good. Didn't know what the Katchapuri was but it was really tasty

SO GREAT! we got there at 9:35, had a tour 10 minutes away but they were able to get us drinks food and be on our way by 9:50. Spoke perfect english and super cute design. 100% coming back!

good lord my taste buds have never been so grateful beogre in my entire life ah ahhhh ahh

A great breakfast spot! If it's too busy try Frechia next door also very excellent. Both have amazing healthy breakfasts with GF options. Service and faculties were great. Ambiance was typical of breakfast spots. Staff were excellent.

Great brunch location that was open when many other restaurants were closed. When we walked in we didn't have to wait to be seated. We were seated in this small hallway in the back where it was hard to get the waiter's attention but there was a great view of the kitchen. A very american breakfast the breakfast combo, where I chose avocado toast (€9.50) with unlimited coffee (€3). This was quite a good deal. Avocado toast was incredibly memorable, served on a crunch piece of rye bread (I think) with fresh avocados and avocado cream and a small salad! This sounds odd but we were excited to get some greens which we hadn't been eating while in France (our fault). Also got the lemon cheesecake which was delicious (€4). Brunch ended up being around $32 USD (probably around 30 euros) for TWO breakfast combos. Compared to LA brunch this was a steal. I highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Looking for a breakfast place with a few options and this was a great choice. They had pancakes, eggs and bacon, as well as pastries and various coffees. The service was attentive and thoughtful. The food was fresh and delicious. If you're in the area this is a place to check out.

We had a great breakfast here! The salmon with pancakes is something I will definitely be missing. Definitely recommend this place!

Great breakfast place. Bacon and eggs were amazing and hit the spot after a week of European style breakfasts. They are the sister cafe to slake so the coffee is just as good with a full kitchen to enjoy great food.

Quite busy, if you can reserve. Really good meal, wonderfully food. Flexible and accommodating for our dietary requirements and really kind service! Would definitely recommend!

The best brunch we had in Lyon while visiting - so good we went back three days in a row. Friendly staff who is happy to help you in English if you don't speak French. If you like salmon, the "Pancakes 'n Salmon" is really great. Really tasty fruit in the yogurt and granola too. Coffee is not too shabby either.

It's a great place for breakfast. Woodly decorated, good avocado toast, great home made granola, good coffee , friendly service. I like it!!!

Pancakes, avocado toast, eggs, banana bread, and cakes are all delicious. And the decor is so cute! I would like if they served breakfast/brunch until 12 PM instead of 1130 (the kitchen is strict about that), but I will keep coming back!

As an American it was fun to have a pancake and egg breakfast to break up all the bread! Great coffee, delicious scrambled eggs, and my first ever gooseberry. Tea was awesome and the pancakes although wrong the first time were immediately fixed and perfect. Come!
