Twinkie Breakfast & Lunch is a charming and welcoming spot. The American-style food was average, but the cafe itself, coupled with friendly service, made for a pleasant experience. A special shoutout to the adorable Pomeranian that added a unique touch to the ambiance! A nice place to relax and enjoy a meal, even if the dishes aren’t particularly standout. Worth a visit for the furry friend!

So, Twinkies is nice. I think they cater to the American crowd, but the only thing American here were the prices. Some of the meals were 29 euro. We've been really wowed with many of the meals in Paris and this just hit flat. The cafe does have dogs though, which is nice. It just didn't live to the hype for me. Also, the pancake is cornmeal? Did not feel it.

My family and I took a trip to Paris for the first time. We googled American breakfast in Paris and this wonderful restaurant named Twinkies appeared on Google. Let me tell you, it reminded us of home in America. The pictures of the breakfast were gorgeous and looked delicious. When we went there and had the breakfast, it did not disappoint… The food was so good and delicious. It was so good, that we decided to go there again the next day. My wife and I, my daughter and my daughter’s friend all had a great time. This is one of the best breakfast and lunch restaurants in Paris. I am not kidding, if you’re in Paris for the first time or if you live in Paris, you must visit this wonderful restaurant. Food is delicious. Service is phenomenal and the decor remind you of growing up as a child and enjoying the best that life has to offer. I wanna thank the owners and the staff for making me and my family feel at home. God willing we will return, because I believe Twinkies represents the best that Paris has to offer. Thank you, Twinkies!!!!

My favorite breakfast / brunch / lunch place. They have the best coffee and the best oeuf benedict. Highly recommended! They are also fully dog friendly with dog food available.

Overall this is a nice place but too expensive for brunch. Most items on the menu are over 30€ and while the portions are not small it does not feel like good value for money. We had the Avo toast and the eggs Benedict. Both were very tasty and they offer gluten free bread. The service was a bit slow but friendly. While I enjoyed the meal I wouldn’t come back at that price.

This place was solid, they don’t take reservations which we really like. The atmosphere and service were awesome and the food was really good. I wish we could pick what we wanted though because the food was very very expensive.
