Yanni Bistro is truly a hidden gem in Matthews, NC. I’ve been here a few times before and always loved their food—especially the salads, which are consistently fresh and flavorful. And let’s not forget the gingersnaps. It seems like every time I visit, they’re generously offering complimentary gingersnaps. Today, I stopped in on a whim during my day off and ordered a lavender latte with almond milk and a gluten-free BLT. I decided to sit outside, soaking in the minimalist decor and letting the sound of birdsong become the soundtrack to my morning. Then something unexpected and lovely happened—the owner brought my BLT out to me personally and struck up a conversation. What started as a quick meal turned into a 30-minute, soul-filling talk about food, wellness, and the importance of clean ingredients. I learned that everything on the menu is sourced locally from the farmers market next door, and I could genuinely feel his passion and care behind every bite. Yanni Bistro gets 10 out of 5 stars for their incredible customer service, peaceful atmosphere, and commitment to healthy, locally-sourced ingredients. They also offer fantastic gluten-free and vegan options, which is a huge plus. If you’re in the area—go. Take yourself on a breakfast date. You might just leave with more than a full belly.

Elena is so very kind and welcoming. We love it here. The food is delicious--highly recommend the Bavarian cream crepe made soft (add banana & Nutella for extra deliciousness) and the El Rancho - made crispy! We love coming here and recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary by having breakfast here and Elena made sure we felt extra special by bringing out our food with a surprise dessert. P.S. they have gluten free crepes that are divine!!!

I can't believe I have not been here to eat before. I'm so excited to see all of the gluten-free options available. I'm really looking forward to ordering the French toast one day. The eggs, bacon, and grits I had today were amazing. Great coffee and love that they brought a carafe for us.

Overall great experience. It was our anniversary dinner with my wife and 2.5 year old. Service was great and so were the drinks and the food. They catered to my wife's gluten intolerance as well. We started with drinks, the Heatwave Martini was SO good (and spicy), as was the Strawberry Rose Sidecar. We ordered the Mussels Josephine for an appetizer- delicious. For entree, my wife got the Sea Bass and added a lobster tail, which was incredible. I got the Filet Mignon and added a lobster tail, also good. My son got fish sticks from the kids menu. For dessert we got the gluten free brownie with ice cream. I definitely recommend coming here. It is a chain, but better quality food than most.

I used to get a gluten free pasta trio at Carrabbas that was delicious. I was a little disappointed that this option was no longer available on menu and not many actual gluten free pasta options. I got Chicken Marsala but there was no gf pasta with it. The food was good just minimal gluten free options.

Food is delicious. Edit: There has been some misunderstanding I’m sure. I believe all the other orders have been gluten free. So when they were telling me when I was trying to order recently my usual that it wasn’t gluten free, it made me feel betrayed and confused. I wasn’t able to think at the time as I was hungry. After some time, I believe they were tired and was thinking of a whole different roll than I was, I just wish that if they have realized that, that they could of just mentioned or laughed it off and said something in the line of “ Oh, I was mentioning a whole different roll”

Honestly from the moment we walked in, The Loyalist Market blew us away!! The people are just lovely, the charcuterie board was unique and delish. Cant wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. So many great offerings. Highly recommend! Even did great with gluten free

I had savannah chopped salad with the seasoned chicken on it. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Many times, at other restaurants, I receive a dried out piece of chicken. This was great! I asked the girl if the chicken was gluten free, and she kindly went to the kitchen and found out for me. It was!! I was with my girls from church. About 12 of us. We ate, and chatted. They all loved their food ! And then the manager T.J. came over to us to make sure everyone was happy, we were !! He told us whatever we ever needed, that he would make it right ! I think might eat here once a week ! T.J. sealed the deal !!

I’ve been coming to Greco for years. It’s one of my favorite spots. The workers are friendly and helpful. Tried the gluten free gyro today and it was so yummy. It’s thinner than a tortilla but it tastes like a regular pita. So if you’re gluten free or want something lighter than a regular pita, I highly recommend trying it. Sometimes I get a full salad with dressing on the side and eat half later at home. It’s a generous salad. Fries are yummy. Greco bowl is delicious according to my grandmother. My grandpa loves the shrimp kebab platter - which has a generous amount of fries.

What a comfortable place to stop by and enjoy some coffee. Plenty of outdoor space! Cappuccino was perfect, and the breakfast treats were all delicious. They’re gluten-free pastry of the day was very good.
