All of this to bring you flavors like Beach Haven: a classic cinnamon and sugar doughnut; The O.G.: the original glazed; and Boneshaker Cream: a doughnut with chocolate cardamom glaze and vanilla pastry cream filling.

American Corner is a restaurant that specializes in American food like bagels and hot dogs in the heart of Paris, however, they also have a café section and menu where Americans, tourists, and the French alike can all come and find traditional American sweet treats like muffins, cookies, and, of course, DOUGHNUTS!
