I am so restricted on what I can have for desserts due to dairy, gluten, & sugar. I can never eat dessert out and my husband found this amazing place!!! They have a small selection of sugar free options as well which is amazing!! The first time in 6 years I was able to have a waffle cone that was gluten free! The flavors are absolutely amazing! Definitely worth the drive!

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.

I am leaving this review to give a very specific shout out to Janae - I have an allergy to wheat (Celiac), so when I found out that Mod offers safe pizza options I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one! Janae took my allergy extremely seriously including changing gloves, and even washing dishes before serving me. Her knowledge of my specific allergy was awesome and something I’m not used to. The pizza was SO good! I’m so excited that I can indulge in one of my favorite foods safely. Thank you Janae!

Initially I was going to order burger with fries and a drink, until the very polite cashier told me my total was just short of $25. For a burger, fries, and drink! I told her nevermind the fries and drink, and paid the $16 for the gluten free burger with a cup of water. When my food came out, the bun fell apart in my hands, so I ditched the bun (which I paid a few extra dollars for) and ate the burger by itself. It tasted amazing without the sawdust GF bun. But I definitely left feeling like I got ripped off.
