Read the book a couple years ago and when I knew I'd be in Paris, this was the first place to eat that went on the list. Dragged my traveling companions with me and they were not disappointed when they started eating the food! So good! The staff were delightful but didn't pester. Tiny inside but comfortable. This was an unexpected pleasure for me and my traveling buddies! read more

Most people love me breakfast in Paris however, I was craving some American breakfast and this totally hit the spot

I'm perfectly happy eating almost anywhere in Paris, arguably among the finest in the world. Paris has a variety of regional French styles, other national cuisines than French. So It's appropriate so Breakfast in America is a natural fit, especially considering the heavy traffic of tourists and a sizeable American population resident. Breakfast in America is essentially an American diner with food that will make you feel back home, wherever your home diner is. Coffee American style, fries, coffee, burgers, pancakes - with friendly helpful and efficient service. MY first experience there was years ago when I lived in Paris for several months in a flat a short block away. . I had to make an effort not to eat there every day. Where we stay depends on what flats are available. For many years we were in Paris several times a.year and usually found a day to eat here. read more

A great way to 'feel at home' after a few days in Paris. All food just like America traditional breakfast.

My daughter suggested this charming spot as it was a go to for her college friends during the first few weeks of their Junior year abroad. A place where it was okay to speak English. We ordered burgers and fries at about 2:00 on a weekday, others were ordering pancakes, omelettes and other American breakfast foods. The joint was busy and the two servers were just keeping up with clean-up, seating and serving, it almost seemed choreographed. The burgers were juicy, fries crisp and a milkshake to share was chocolaty but not over the top. The place was full of customers chatting and enjoying themselves but not so loud you couldn't converse at your own table. This place is cozy and charming. Need some American diner food, head this way. If I lived here, I'd come back. read more

Has a specific American diner feel. Food was okay though no butter was given and not enough strap. 222 was plenty big for one and eggs were well cooked. If going for American diner should have waffles and hash browns on the menu. read more

When in Paris a must! Loved this lil diner, and we didn't care how far away BIA was from our hotel, because it was about surviving our current dissatisfaction with their food! Staff was super friendly. We both ordered CC's Big Mess, pancakes and asked for some tortillas which of course they had and it was food heaven! Freshly squeezed orange juice and their hot chocolate was exquisite. We wish they had mugs for sale because we really wanted to buy one! read more

Good breakfast place to go if you want American food. The 3x3x3 is a great value and was really good. Eggs cooked just how I wanted them. Fresh orange juice was delicious read more

Half way thru the trip and we were wanting a little taste of home! These folks gave us that with an amazing American breakfast! A must try!

To start. My hotel offers breakfast but only during a certain time so I decided to search for breakfast closer to the center of Paris. I chose this place because it serves breakfast all day. This day was a Sunday. I was very happy that the hostess spoke English so that was exciting. The place itself was well worn much like some of the diners in the U. S. Usually that means that the food is good and they usually get a good crowd. I arrived around 3:30 and asked for seating for one and out of the whole empty restaurant I was sat right next to the register. Where everyone pays and where the food comes out. Like, why??? I put in my order and noted that my butter was perfectly soft enough to spread on my toast. Great! Tea came in a big mug and the juice was in a small glass. This was good. My food came out with out the pancakes and my server asked did I mind. It was not a problem for me until I realized that other patrons who came in after me also ordered pancakes and they got theirs before me. Like what were they waiting for? When the patrons finished their meal I finally asked if someone could check on my pancakes they came out maybe 5 - 10 minutes later. They were a small stack. They arrived without butter or syrup. I had to ask for both. Really? She then brought me butter, which was hard as a brick and I asked if they had any softer butter and the hostess said no. Okay.... So I place the hard brick pats of butter in between the 3 pancake stacks and waited for them to melt. I then cut half the stack into bit size small pieces and when I went to pour the syrup it got all over my hand. I'm pretty sure the top was loose. There is no other explanation. I then went down these narrow stairs to wash my hands. Which, luckily, I was able to figure out turning on the water. I decided to forgo the restrooms, it was just too dirty for me. I was hesitant to touch anything else besides the water unit. As I was washing my hands a guy came out of nowhere, I suspect he used the men's restroom, yet, he did not even attempt to wash his hands. :( I did not see him in the restaurant upstairs at all. Weird. Magician? At that point I decided I would not subject myself to another minute of trying to eat anything more. The food was just passable for the 22,00 euros I spent and I had gotten much better food in a cleaner establishment for 8,00 euros. I selected this place based on a very positive review I read. Unfortunately, we had very different experiences. read more

This was right around the corner from our apartment on our trip to Paris. My kids were missing the American style breakfast and this is where we found it. The owner was walking around the restaurant and truly cares about her place. An American girl transplanted in Paris bringing American breakfast to the city. The cutest old-school small diner vibe can be found here. It was very authentic and the food was delicious. Excellent service. read more

Its a cool concept but the food doesn't live up to it, or you could say its authentic America to the extent that many american breakfast joints are meh. Potatoes were mushy not crunchy. Coffee was reminiscent of a typical american bottomless cup. Omelette pretty tasteless. But again, if you're in paris but going for an American dive vibe, this may be it. You'd have to really miss america a lot. read more

Who comes from NY to Paris to have an American breakfast? yes this girl :) We weren't staying far and stopped in here since we wanted some eggs and it seems like pastries are more common for breakfast. I loved the whole 1950s diner décor and soft rock playing. The menu is just like here omelets, pancakes and stuff like that. One thing I found unique was that they bring you bread but each table has their own toaster so you toast your own bread which was kind of cute. read more

A standard place if you want an American breakfast in Paris! Went here twice given it's proximity to where I live and needed to grab a decent breakfast. My first time was on a Sunday and they offer a Sunday brunch for 17 euro which includes a main dish, pancakes, coffee, and orange juice. The food was not bad but nothing special as well. My second time I tried the french toast which was great and the portion was decent. I would recommend the french toast if you come here. Overall a standard place and work great if it's close to you but otherwise you are in Paris try something new! read more

So after subconsciously avoiding Breakfast in America for years, since I don't let myself eat American food when I'm here in France (I eat it every single day when I visit once a year) I found myself at an event sitting across from one of the owners! It was interesting explaining to him that yes, I had a breakfast club that met once a month, but no, we had not managed to make it to BIA. Probably time to stop punishing my friends through my subconscious "don't eat American food in France" bias and bring them by, as the food is good, in enormous American portions (which means you'll get a meal for later too), with decent pricing. read more

We were in France for almost three weeks on vacation. What do I crave while I'm on vacation? A delicious "big breakfast". What is nearly impossible to find in Paris? That's right, a big breakfast. Now I'm a big believer of "when in Rome" and immersing yourself in the local culture, but I'm also a believer in having what you enjoy on the best vacation of your life. Thank you Yelp for pointing me to Breakfast in America. I loved my American style coffee. The pancakes and bacon were just ok. The service was kind of slow, but despite the "America" in the name, you're still in France. (Although they expect you to tip American-style.) If this place was in the U.S., I wouldn't recommend it. But like the only man in a convent, BIA looks pretty good when you've gone without for a while. read more

JUST OK If you're an american, in paris and want a little bit of home then this is where you go. BUT, be ready to spend them dollars. I ordered the french toast with bacon, banana and maple. It was pretty decent like a 7/10. Personally, I can make better at home. Service was great. Place was packed. If I come back to Paris, I probably won't re-visit. read more

Echoing what EVERY American on here has said...when you haven't seen an egg, piece of protein, or cup of coffee in 12 days Breakfast in America shines like a beacon in the night. We got sick of eating croissants literally every. single. day. We found this spot, and it is hilariously cliche and on purpose. Started by an American film student who just wanted BREAKFAST! There are Friends posters, soft rock music playing, and most importantly it looks like a 50's diner. We ordered a Western Omelette and the classic breakfast two eggs, toast, and bacon. Surprise! They had english muffins - WIN! The breakfast by American standards - totally just ok. After not eating eggs for 12 days the BEST thing I have ever tasted. Totally recommend, but only if you are at your wits end. Enjoy Paris and then when you feel like you're going to die, come here and you will be satisfied! read more

James & I found ourselves in Paris on Thanksgiving day. Where to go for a traditional meal? Well, BIA of course! We had a delightful experience here with a traditional meal. It requires and advance reservation for one of there 3 sittings but the meal and service were excellent! read more

Nice to have a piece of home in France. Definitely like regular french food more but was still fun.

Wet nice little spot in Paris! In a place where there are so many restaurants and so little good customer service and food....this place was a delight! My daughter rarely eats anything and she asked for more. The people who waited on us were also nice ....especially considering the rudeness in the city. I'll return here in January when I'm back in France! read more

Even though I'm in France and I like to explore and taste unfamiliar foods specific to a country, I like my breakfast as close to normal as possible. I stopped into this place as the menu seemed to be everything I was looking for. They offer all of the normal foods we would get in the states at pretty much the same price point. The service was pretty good and the food was average but good. This location is about a ten minute walk from the Notre Dame Cathedral but they have multiple places around town. read more

This place was good but i can't give it 5 stars because there was NO A/C.. which made for an uncomfortable experience but the waitress was really nice, and the pancakes were the absolute best !!! I really enjoyed the bacon as well .. Food - 5/5 Restaurant itself - 3/5 read more

BIA is a great place to have breakfast (served all day) and hang out. Bottomless cup of Jo helps too. Sometimes when you have been on the road a while, a croissant just won't do it. They have the "Big Mess" which is like a skillet from the Village Idiot (Inn). I see a lot of people ordering burgers here too. PS, they also have beer & wine. Viva la France! read more

It's pretty good...I went here couple times and idk how to explain it, in America this would be a very average breakfast place but in Paris where it's harder to get this type of American food it's pretty good. The milkshakes are way over priced but the cheeseburger student menu option is good. I'd go back but I wouldn't be super excited about. read more

Save yourself the grief, go to the Marais location instead! We came for Fourth of July, and sure enough there was a holiday special. We asked our waitress, and she said she didn't know, and didn't bother to ask another server or her manager. Strike two and three was when she messed up both of my friends orders, even though she had us repeat it a few times for her to write down in the beginning. Asked for blueberry pancakes... no blueberries. When they came back from the kitchen, the pancakes were half the original size, it was ridiculous. She didn't get the right order for the eggs, and forgot the pancake syrup entirely. Eventually, our original server began ignoring us and a different server had to bring over the toast and syrup. We truly weren't being irritating, kindly asking her for things that we ordered - and have to pay extra for! - the few times she came to our table. Beyond the awful service, the food was sub par here in comparison to the other location too. I fell in love with the blueberry muffin at the Marais spot, and it was half the size and odd tasting here. Through and through disappointment. read more

The 4:00-7:00 apple caramel pie with bottomless coffee was absolutely disgusting. I legitimately regret the €5 I spent on that. It's not the price that bothers me, I cannot believe I wasted precious calories on that. The small piece of pie had no texture to it- it was lukewarm and felt wet from a microwave. The apple flavor was absent - rather it was just a disgusting amount of sugar. Breakfast in America, you know better- that is NOT classic american Apple pie even worthy of being served In a dingy diner on the New Jersey Turnpike read more

If you're an American looking for a piece of home here in Paris, look no further. Breakfast In America has milkshakes, cheddar cheese omelettes, and breakfast potatoes that almost make you feel like you're back in the states. This place looks like every other kitschy American diner with red vinyl booths and those metal-rimmed table tops. The waitresses are American and it so strange (yet cool) to order food without the slightest bit of French. As for the food, the cheddar cheese tasted a bit like American cheese and the breakfast potatoes were a little cold, but the "Obama" milkshake was a chocolate peanut butter heaven. Also, my friend had the blueberry pancakes and said they were amazing. The prices are on par for Paris, and really can you even put a price on hometown comfort food? I'll be back for another milkshake soon, and if you're really into great milkshakes or you're a study abroad study looking for a little cultural escape, I would definitely recommend you check this place out. read more

Holla to all Americans abroad! This is the most American breakfast in Paris. Fine Parisian dinning is the reason you're here, but a little taste of home is always nice! Just make sure to asked for butter on the side of your pancakes. The French are kind to your cholesterol numbers, but American Breakfast is about exploding that!!! read more

First time I came in here, the place sank its claws into me fast: I'd been accidentally smitten by Laura, one of the waitresses working bar. Quite a story, feel free to ask me about it: but it kept me from getting a good look at the place the first time around. So I came back, maybe for the wrong reasons, but I did. It's a sweet little place, I'll have you know: it's got the crowded-diner charm (even when empty), unlimited joe, pancake specials, big ol' burgers, fat-man cooked breakfasts... I love it. I'm a big guy, though, so pushing past seats and down a narrow staircase to the toilets where I may have to twist a bit makes it less welcoming than it should be. Staff is friendly enough if a little distant - but that's no biggie. You want something (like the waiter's attention) you go out and get it. Be a man, for Pete's sake. This place is americana soundtracked by Tracy Chapman. It's a piece of united states culture brought to life by a population of students and backpackers. Because your diet can wait but your tastebuds can't - drop by. Sit down. Order a drink. Think of something else. read more

There are 2... What! My classmates coaxed me (it didn't take much)... This time I had a classic strawberry milkshake, YUMWOW! My "Ginger"'s french toast was bigger & better than mine at the other location. Though we all had good things, someone mentioned their burger was gamey in taste & another persons sausage did not taste of the pork sausage in America; maybe it's Parisian meat!?! Fries, burritos, pancakes, french toast, eggs and of course milkshakes are recommended, if you are yearning for some US while abroad! read more

loved this place since the first time I tried it a year ago. Eating croissants everyday gets tiring so pancakes eggs and bacon "American style" just does the tummy right!

With an empty diner for breakfast the 18 year old waitress wanted us to sit in a table when nice booths were empty. Well that started the ball rolling but, still undeterred I wanted to try that American breakfast. What a disappointment. Waiting for cream or milk and then it was like pulling teeth to get a refill. Who was I kidding after eating that great Spanish food for weeks earlier. No not recommended and no the place did not fill up as promised. read more

Visited this restaurant while on vaca in Paris and it was delish. In a cute location. Nothing fancy, def gives u a "moms and pops" feel. I ordered breakfast: eggs, ham steak, toast and home potatoes. This was the ONLY restaurant my mom actually liked the coffee while we were in Paris so I think it's safe to say the coffee is on point since my coffee obsessive mom liked it! read more
