Cute place with good service. I had a breakfast burrito and felt the ingredients were perfectly blended. It was tasty and not greasy! My daughter loves the Texas French toast but did feel the generous amount of Nutella was a bit too much. I never thought I'd hear her say that!

Staple every time!! Just read the other reviews—or better yet, go see for yourself. There’s a line every single time we go, and for good reason: Yiannis Café is the best. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. It’s more than a meal—it’s a must. If you know, you know.

This is such a nice restaurant. The breakfast was great and the staff was very nice. Our waitress was attentive. It is very popular, so we waited a bit for a table. There is outside seating. I can imagine very nice in warmer months. The place is located 2 blocks from the beach. I'd go back - the French toast delicious

We came to this cafe during our recent visit to Brigantine. My 9-year old woke up at 7am and the whole house was still asleep, so I had to take her out for breakfast. This cafe is cute with good breakfast selection. We were lucky to arrive earlier and have a choice of the seating spots. People who came after us already had to wait to be seated. The Green Power smoothie was very delicious, everything else was good too. We were sitting outside and it was very pleasant, and the service was great too. Overall, a nice breakfast spot.

Excellent! Our 2nd time here and did not disappoint! We highly recommend and will come here every chance we have. Thank to Yianni's! We had the avocado toast and the salmon eggs benedict! Oh my, we could not even finish it as there was a lot of yummy food!

We have gone to the one in Ocean City many times and love it. We tried the one in Brigantine today and there was an extremely long wait to get a table and an extremely long wait to have our order taken even though there were empty tables. The food was Only OK. My omelette tasted fine, but the potatoes were not amazing. My daughter got the veggie burger and said it was mushy. There were so many flies in the restaurant and a lot of crumbs and wrappers on the floor. Disappointing.
