"First impressions- modern, hipster, comfortable vibe… if there is such a thing? Rating this café four out five stars because I did not have breakfast or lunch during my visit. I visited on a Sunday mid-afternoon and the location was fairly busy with the brunch crowd. Since it was my first time here I walked around and took a look at the place and all it had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised to see the London, US influence to the options that they offered compared to most café’s in France. They had a self-service water dispenser, blended drink options, and even proper lemonade (citronade), not the limonade that is typically an iteration of Sprite or 7-up. I ordered a flat white, and was again surprised to see a familiar roaster being used, Placid. The flat white was actually better than I expected since I was used to what was being served at Slake (for some reason I don’t care for the coffee there, although they use some of the roasters I prefer). They provide you with brown sugar in packets and offer a variety of different milks they could meet individual preferences. Food options include a variety of pastries, sandwich options (presume they change daily, none was mentioned specifically), and for breakfast (served Monday thru Sunday 8h-1130h), (eggsy, oeuf brouillé ou au plat bacon, champignons, et café filtre ou thé au choix pour €11; petit déj, baguette fraiche beurre & confiture, yahourt granla maison, et café filtre ou thé au choix pour €8; pancakes $ sirop d’erable café filtre ou thé au choix pour €9). The ambiance was nice and had a comfortable feel to it. I question the comfortability of some of the seating for a long period due it being pretty flat and either thin, or no cushion at all. Overall, the décor was quite nice with the rustic wood look for most of the tables (see pictures). The location has Wi-Fi but it is not available on the weekends. Staff is friendly and helpful, most speak a little English from what I could gather. There is a unique little courtyard that is pretty airy towards the back of the café that offers some fresh air while you sit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. The front entrance has patio style doors that slide open offering a nice breeze to flow throughout, making it nice on a warm day. Enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back again. This has the potential to become our new favorite café in a city full of great cafés. Diploid offers an excellent blend of beverages, snacks, and food that many cafés in Lyon do not offer. Whether it is something hot, cold, sweet or savory, they seem to have something to meet your tastes."

Good for multiple food restrictions. GF options are marked on the menu and they actually have more GF options if you ask!

Amazing cafe! Went there on a Friday morning and it was quite busy. Had a delicious banana break and a flat white! Everything was really tasty!

Ici, rien n'est laissé au hasard: la déco est très sympa, le brunch bien pensé: des produits sains, frais et délicieux. A recommander absolument!

Accidentally ended up here after maps switched directions from our original brunch destination… man am I happy it did. The food was amazing, particularly the yogurt, Turkish eggs, and the bacon pancakes. Not too heavy either; everything was light fresh and tasty. Definitely swing by here while on the island.

Ravie d'avoir découvert ce lieu, n'était pas lyonnaise. La cuisine est un régal, saine, avec des produits frais, des menus du jour avec soit un plat, une salade ou un burger plutôt gourmet qui changent souvent et Pas très cher étant donné la qualité ! Le lieu est super sympa, belle déco, belle terrasse et serveurs chaleureux également ! Nous reviendrons c'est sur!

I did my Erasmus year in Lyon so have been to Diploid several times and have been back to Lyon twice since and went here both times! A reliable and delicious brunch spot. I’ve never been disappointed and I will go here again the next time I visit Lyon! Highly recommend. There’s a cosy outdoor corner as well among the quaint Lyon style buildings which I really enjoyed brunch in on one of the occasions I visited.
