ABOUT US
A Taste of Crete at the Jersey Shore
The story of Yianni’s Café begins in Crete, where a passion for vibrant, nourishing food was born. Today, that tradition continues in Ocean City, where we’ve proudly served the community for over 17 years, and for more than 11 years at our newest location in Brigantine, NJ. As a family-owned restaurant, we bring together the best of Mediterranean and American cuisine, offering fresh, high-quality ingredients and hearty portions that reflect both our Greek roots and our coastal home.

SIGANOS FARM
Crete, the birthplace of Yianni, is Greece’s largest island — celebrated for its exceptional cuisine, fresh ingredients, and healthy way of life. Yianni grew up in a small Cretan village, working alongside his family in the olive groves of Siganos farm. From an early age, he learned that the best food begins with the best ingredients. That tradition remains at the heart of everything we do.
Today, Yianni’s Café blends the wholesome values and flavors of the Mediterranean with the generous portions and comfort of American dining — creating meals that are fresh, flavorful, and always served with care.
