About a 20 minute wait on a Sunday morning isn't too bad. Seating outside of the booths is a bit tight, but could be worse. We ordered the following: Shore omelette: 10/10 full of lump crab and very good. $1 to upgrade to jalapeño bagel. Bon Matin: 10/10 very good half waffle is perfect flavor and portion size. read more

Now, I'll keep this short. I think I found a gem tucked away next to the Atlantic City. This restaurant is not really a huge place. If you weren't looking for it, you might even drive by without noticing. The staff are friendly. Food was amazing. The food came in on a huge plate. Great breakfast spot. You better come hungry! read more

Stopped in today during lunch time. The ambiance is nice and the place is clean. The employees I encountered all seemed friendly. Our server, Glenn, was wonderful. He was friendly and attentive. The meat (pork roll) & cheese omelet was good. I liked that the home fries were crispy without specifically asking for them to be. I didn't care for the orange juice...I'm not sure what to say was wrong with it, but the taste just wasn't good. My son enjoyed his waffle with Nutella and even took a second one home for later. I would recommend and will return. read more

Yianni's is a must try gem in Brigantine! If you are looking for a great brunch place, look no further. We tried everything from green smoothie to breakfast burritos to pancakes. All were delicious and generous portion. Our waitress Autumn was so sweet and made our experience even more special. This has become our favorite spot, and we can no longer visit Brigantine without making a stop here! read more

So glad I find this place! So close to where I was staying and the service was amazing! I am back in town again, and that is where we will be headed for breakfast!! read more

Busy 4th of July and a great experience. All the staff was so nice even with the craziness of the holiday. The hostess was sweet and found us when our table was quickly ready. Our waitress was so nice. She was friendly, efficient and made no mistakes. Checked on us frequently too. Everyone was really happy with their food. I had the Shore Sandwich. I liked that you could easily customize your selection. We sat outside on the side. Great spot. Highly recommend read more

The service was great, the environment was cleaner than any other restaurant you'll eat in. And the food looked as great as it tasted. Pictur perfect. Better than a brochure. All of this adds value at any price. Tip: Go early in AM and dine inside. read more

Yianni's is simple, clean, quiet, comfy, and safe, and it has nice window views and a great staff. It's across the street from a good Italian restaurant (Andre's), just over the bridge from the casinos, and the town has a nice outdoor market with plenty of parking, produce, and fresh corn in good weather. One of my happiest things to do is to sit on my back patio and shuck fresh corn. Oh, and in midtown there's a well-stocked card shop. read more

Rude owner, only cares about talking with her friends that come in. Order to go is rude also, doesn't smile or greet you when you walk in. Just stares at you until you order. Made me feel uncomfortable. Food is great ! read more

We weren't ready to leave vacation so decided to go out for breakfast on our last morning. Most of the portions were very large and reasonably priced. My wife and daughter both got the Bella Nutella, but the French toast version was much better than the pancake version which wasn't so flavorful. Definitely a spot I'd go back to in the future, even just for takeout bagels, if I was staying in the area again. read more

Super cute and delicious brunch spot in Brigantine! This was such a great find since there aren't many brunch places in Brig during the off season. I got the breakfast combo which was a pancake, french toast, and eggs. Everything was great, especially the french toast! Service was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend Yianni's if you're in the area and need a cute beachy brunch spot! read more

Yianni's has a small diner type of feel and menu. The inside is very nice with a shore/coastal kind of vibe. Our server was attentive and helpful. I had the chicken gyro with a Greek salad. It tasted very fresh and the pita bread was really good. My wife had a Classy Californian crab omelette with avacado and that also was very good. The portion sizes were large. Will be back to further explore the menu. Great for breakfast and lunch. read more

The best place in brigantine to get bagels BY FAR! Located in the heart of brigantine, Yianni's has indoor and outdoor seating as well as take out. When we lived in brigantine we would go every weekend and get bagels for the week with their outstanding strawberry cream cheese. We don't live in brigantine any more but every single time we visit from Florida we get 2 dozen and bring them home with us! They stay fresh the 24+ hour trip back to FL and we freeze when we get home. They last for months in the freezer and are just as delicious toasted. I love their egg bagels. They do sell out so call ahead the day before if you have a large order. Yesterday we called and we picked up 2 dozen bagels and 2 breakfast sandwiches this morning and they had everything ready for us. Thank you Yianni's!! read more

Great professional service, consistently delicious homestyle breakfasts and strong, smooth coffee. What's not to love?

I went to Yianni's cafe in late June with my family. The food was great and so were the staff. However, when I paid for my meal I did not realize at the time that they charged and extra $50.52 to my credit card. I call and talked to a woman named Peggy who claimed she would make it right. It is late July and she refuses to talk to my credit card company to refund the $50.52 to make it right. They stole from me and thus far lied about making it right. My whole family (lives in Brigantine) is very disappointed. If you want to be robbed go here. Stay away. read more

Yianni's is a small but cute establishment in Brigantine! have a great breakfast menu that includes smoothies..Yum While visiting Brigantine I observed the 'social distancing' procedures being followed and at one visit we decided to take advantage of the 'outdoor dining'! The hostess and servers were friendly! The food was good! So..I will say this is a 3.5 star establishment. If I am staying close by in future visits--I will return during my next visit! read more

First off the wait can be very long upwards towards an hour long. So put your name in and go for a little walk up the street or play some games at the arcade next door. Once in the place the wait staff is so kind and the food hits the spot for such a nice little beach cafe. Definitely recommend read more

if I could leave less than one star, I would the food is OK but overpriced and the service is terrible. Whoever is managing does not know how to run a restaurant. I ordered a bagel this morning with American cheese over the phone. They told me it would be ready in 15 minutes when I got there. I waited over 30 minutes and got nothing but attitude from the snotty little kids they have working there, I would stay away from this place read more

PROS: The place is very quaint and the food was good. Prices were reasonable and the food came out quickly. the waitress Giovanna was a delight. She catered to all of our needs CONS: They don't turnover the tables fast which causes a long waitlist OVERALL: I love this place for breakfast and I will be going back here read more

Our only regret about Yianni's is not finding this place sooner! The quest for a delicious and satisfying breakfast ended the moment we found this gem. They offer extensive Eggs Benedict options, in addition to waffles (both savory and sweet), pancakes, and create-your-own omelets. Fresh-squeezed juices, smoothies, as well as baked goodies are also available. Did I mention that they sell bagels? And damn good ones! They are more akin to NY bagels, and lucky for me because that's the style I like (more doughy and less crispy). Be prepared for a wait, even in non-summer months. No matter how early we arrive, we always seem to have a 30 minute wait. Well worth it, and it will only assist with building your hunger. The outdoor seating area is covered, so you'll be protected from a passing shower. We always hold-out for an outdoor seat (much like everyone else)! The servings are large, the staff is efficient, and the prices are reasonable. What's not to love about this place? read more

Good is always fresh and tasty. Love coming here for breakfast. I wish they were open for dinner.

Yianni's is a cute little diner-esk restaurant and is always packed on the weekends. We decided to come here for breakfast mid week to see what the hype is all about. I feel like of silly saying this, but for "fresh and healthy" the best foods we had there were all fried.... My husband got the chicken tenders and fries and both were just really exceptional (and I typically don't even love fried food). I got a omelette which was fine... not the best I've ever had, not the worst. Maybe I was just making assumptions, but I do wish they had more Greek options - something to stand out against typical breakfast items. I'm sure we'll go back and give it another try, but probably not on a weekend. It's decent, but not worth a wait. read more

Nice place!! We had breakfast and it was very good. Service is fast and everyone is very attentive. Even though there was a lot of people waiting we sat quite fast. The only complaint about this place is the little flies all over the walls and ceiling. They need to do something about that. Other than that we enjoyed our breakfast here. read more

Saddened to have witnessed a kitchen staff member pay for bottled water on a hot summer morning on a busy Saturday! The food was very good and the service was pleasant otherwise read more

Very busy Resturant with experienced pleasant staff. We had 4 adults and 1 child. Our server was understanding and helped us navigate the menu well. I was disappointed in my order. The falafel had a taste similar to a round corn meal patty. There was not the normal Spice which is present in the falafel I've enjoyed in the past. The grape leaves tasted like they were from a can. Not what I expected So for the Vegan in your group. They will be able to eat there were other choices. We only went once so perhaps my other choice will have more flavor. My table mates enjoyed their waffles, pancakes eggs and potatoes fresh squeezed orange juice and good coffee, No photos were taken. Presentation was nice read more

Breakfast was excellent gave more than enough food. Service was excellent very friendly staff with no rush.

We were staying at our friend's timeshare hotel across the street and she recommended we check this spot out for breakfast since she had enjoyed it a few times before we arrived. This small joint has that local feel. We were here in the winter time just before Christmas and they are packed with customers. My friend, Teresa L., recommended the fruit smoothies. Wow they were not only very fresh, but also very filling. I ordered the banana berry smoothie which I enjoyed a lot and definitely would go back in the future for another. For the entree I ordered the gyro omelet that comes with a choice of toast and some home fries and tzatziki sauce on the side. The gyro meat was very tender and flavorful. Overall the meal was very filling to satisfy my appetite. read more

I liked this cute cafe and would have loved to leave it a very good review if it wasn't for the sub-par service we received. Was here with my kids on a random Friday. The wait was long due to seating restrictions. Surprisingly, the indoor seating was actually available, as compared to anywhere in AC, where it wasn't. It's a breakfast joint so it wasn't uncommon to see a table with one person just reading a book for two hours while sipping their coffee. Obviously not the restaurant's fault. Although I've seen recently many places institute a maximum seating time depending on the number of diners. We were told our wait would be 30 minutes, but it was more like an hour. No complains here however. When we were finally sat, my kids were to the point of having a heat stroke. There isn't much shade in front of the resultant. After we sat, we did not get any attention for probably over 15 minutes. In fact, I observed another table that was sat shortly after us, not only get their drinks but put in their food order. I had to flag the server from that table to ask her about our server. When we asked for waters only one was brought out (for three people). Iced coffee with no accompaniments or straws. The menu was pretty great and the food was pretty tasty actually. My son had a very interesting dish of amazingly light french toast sandwich covered with strawberries and bananas. With that said, again, we not only saw the table next to us eat their food (one dish was what we ordered) but actually get their check. Up to that point our food was never brought out! We only ordered two meals actually between the three of us. My suspicion is our server never put our meals in to begin with until I asked her where our food was. We spent way too long in here. With all of that, I think I would come back to give Yianni's another chance. read more

My only complaint is it's too much food! I absolutely loved the Bon Matin...I ordered it without the bacon I got some incredible home fries with scrambled eggs and a half piece of waffle covered with strawberries bananas and Nutella. I couldn't believe their cappuccinos were only four dollars and they were incredible, but the height of it all was the hand squeeze fresh orange juice! read more

Wow, what a lovely find while in nearby AC as a great breakfast / Brunch spot. Was created by a lovely hostess and selected outdoor seating as it was in the 60s this past weekend. The coffee was super fresh, the menu had anything imaginable and food came out with lovely presentation and tasted great. The server was phenomenal. Prices fair and great portions. We loved it. For sure will return . read more

The food and service is always good. I would have given five stars but during our visit, we asked the guy who was sweeping near our table to stop and he gave us an attitude and kept sweeping. Why do restaurants do this while you're eating? read more

Been wanting to eat here for some time but it was always crowded. Finally was able to eat there the other day and I was not disappointed. My wife had a lox platter and the quality was better than expected. They did a good job with Cajun omelet also, seemed liked they used three huge eggs as I couldn't finish it. I understand why it is always packed. read more

What a great cafe! We went there for a later breakfast and coffee (they have nespresso). Their breakfast sandwich (eggs, bacon, cheese) on a bagel was delicious. My friend got the Yanni's favorite and it did not disappoint. The portion was HUGE (warning!) and the plate was the perfect size for food not to touch (this can be a serious problem)! Service was beyond hospitable and the environment was family friendly. I will definitely be back when in town! read more

The bagels have been restored to their glory days. They are excellent - crispy on the outside and just how a New Jersey bagel should be.
