Holy super legit Greek snacks, Batman! They will make a frappé Greek style with less sugar and milk (but you can also get tasty flavored frappés); they have probably the best tiropita I've had outside of Greece, and very very good spanakopita; their loukomades are GREAT. Like really damn great. We had both the traditional honey-cinnamon version and the chocolate, and both were heaven. We don't have to wait for Greek fest (or my culinary motivation) anymore -- we have Yanni's. And they're better. read more

Yanni, you magnificent SOB. How can you improve on fried dough? Well Yanni found a way. It's exactly what you would think, but better. I'm not even going to get into the flavors. They are all going to be good. Only critique is this place isn't open 7 days a week. Let's figure that out please. (4.7 Stars) read more

Yanni’s Greek - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yum. First time having greek donuts and wasn't sure what to expect. Things I learned: Generous with the amount of donuts you get for the size. The medium size is enough to feed 2 people. These donuts aren't sweet or full of sugar on their own, the sweetness comes from the toppings. Nice and chewy texture. Great dessert! Greek Frappe's are available here- only $4/4.5 for those. Owner is nice and friendly read more

Today I tasted Greece! I have eaten gyros in many places throughout the US and abroad, and Yanni's is hands-down the most authentically Greek. Hot, savory, and delicious food with warm and inviting service. There is also a nearby covered seating area that provides plenty of space to enjoy the cuisine with your loved ones, or you can order to-go. The pitas, tzatziki, frappes (traditional and hazelnut), and loukoumades are delightful. If you haven't tried Yanni's, you should definitely visit soon for your taste of Greece. We will be back! What a great treat! read more

Yanni’s Greek - A little gem - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Little bit difficult to find. Hard to see from the street, but literally behind lab and very close to the food cart. Spanakopita was delicious. The other one with the sausage is amazing. The sausage is really big for only $5.50 and super filling. It's like a hotdog in a puff pastry with some cheese I think. So delicious. Got a whole meal for 10 bucks plus tip. Amazing in today's economy read more

This Greek donut cart is located in the parking lot right next to Lucky Labrador pub on 9th avenue. After reading about their background, I really can appreciate the hard work it took for the two brothers, to dedicate their business to their grandpa. For a savory item I purchased the spicy sausage roll. The sausage was well seasoned and had a really nice kick to it. The exterior pastry was delicious and flaky. I also ordered the whole flight of loukoumades since my daughters were with me and they couldn't decide on what to narrow it down to. I have never had a loukoumade but it really was a treat. The complimentary elite weekend dish we tried first was the original with honey. They had a resemblance to tiny footballs. The dough itself had a really beautiful texture. The exterior was perfectly fried and the inside was soft and airy with a satisfying chew, reminiscent of mochi almost. The honey coating was really tasty at first but it got really overpowering, especially with the pieces at the bottom that soaked it all in. The hazelnut was delicious and not too heavy. The kids didn't want the pistachio bits on top so I can't comment on that. Last but not least was the caramel coconut. The caramel was a thinner gooey glaze. The nutty coconut flakes broke up the richness of the caramel and also added unique textures. This was a personal favorite of mine. Overall the one brother we interacted with was kind and knowledgeable, giving us honest expectations for wait time. Prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes. If I'm in the neighborhood and craving something sweet I would consider returning for sure. read more

Yanni’s Greek - From Left to Right: Caramel Coconut, Hazelnut, Original, and Spicy Sausage Roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Service 10/10. Food 8/10. Ambiance 8/10. This cute sweets food cart is the perfect way to end your visit to the brewery next door if you have a sweet tooth. The LouKoumades are delicious. We tried the Chocolate Pistachio, Caramel Coconut and the Traditional Honey Cinnamon, and that's the order in which my taste buds preferred them. The Spanakopita (Spinach pie, flaky dough) is also delicious, particularly because of its flaky texture. The Mocha is not their strength, mine was watery and the flavor was as if one poured chocolate powder into instant coffee. I've never been to Greece, it's quite possibly mocha coffee is different over there. Service is AMAZING! A big smile, nice treatment, accurate description of the product upon questions, explanation of the making process, on time delivery of the goods and as predicted. Although this is almost an hour away from my house, as I re-read my review, I'm thinking of driving back to give the guy who prepared our LouKumades a bigger tip! read more

Having been here before and trying the standard donuts I wanted to try the other flavors. I would probably just stick with original because they are really tasty. These were good, and messy, but just didn't hit the same. Don't get me wrong, if you're thinking about it you should try because at the end of the day, they're still going to be delicious. The quality is already there and the portions are quite large for the price. A small is enough to share. They also have some tasty beverages at a reasonable price too. We had to try a peanut butter version because you don't usually get that as a beverage option. Really enjoyed, not sure my drink even made it home before I finished it. Funny thing was there was so much flavoring and foam in it that after I finished the first I added more liquid for a second drink. And yes, it still had plenty of flavor. read more

Never had Greek donuts before and blew it out of the donut world! So delicious. Got one of each flavor and glad I did - they were all so dang good! So soft and yummy. Service was great and recommendation was on point. My favorite was the chocolate pistachio, with the caramel coconut in a close second, the traditional honey cinnamon was also great too. Very gooey and loved the presentation. Also the cutest food cart around.. located in the Lucky Labrador parking lot, down past the Hawthorne food carts, parking can be hard to find on the weekend, but it was a Great sunny day for some donuts. They do have a picnic table to enjoy right there, but I took mine home to share with B (barely made them home with only a few left). read more

Finally tried these donuts and I recommend eating them fresh because it's so good when they're nice and warm and crispy. I thought the chocolate pistachio is going to be the far favorite, but I also really like the original it almost had like a tea like flavor to it. I would put that in the chocolate pistachio close as my number one flavors. The staff was very friendly also, but the hot chocolate could be a lot sweeter. It was very light almost tasted like water to me. read more

Conveniently located of you want something sweet after (or during) a trip to Lucky Labrador (it's in their parking lot). The guy behind the counter was extraordinarily friendly & explained things well; we chatted amiably while things cooked. I had not had loukoumades before, so I have no reference for comparison. But the honey cinnamon ones I got were kind of "meh". Not bad, possibly overcooked (or maybe they're supposed to be that way?). The stars because while it wasn't at all bad, it wasn't great or otherwise noteworthy. But if you're there anyway, with a try in case I'm being too harsh. read more

Very delicious doughnuts! Perfectly fried but still soft and chewy on the inside. They were light and airy but full of flavor with their toppings. My personal favorite was the caramel coconut for a sweet and salty combo! read more

Yanni’s Greek - Large - Half Coconut & Half Pistachio Chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

After passing by a few times before, I decided to check them out yesterday. Since it was my first time, he suggested that I should start with the classic honey & cinnamon. When I got it, I was pleasantly surprised how many I got for the small size. They were fresh from fryer - hot, crunchy on the outside and glazed with honey. I really like the crunch! And it stayed crunchy even til the last one. Next time, I'll try the chocolate & pistachio one. They also have a 3rd flavor: caramel & coconut. They're located at the parking lot of Lucky Lab but only open til 5pm, so a very short overlap with Lucky Lab's hours (opens at 4:30p). There's one picnic table next to the cart where you can sit to enjoy your donuts. read more

Visited the food truck after a morning at Hopscotch with my toddler. It's a short walk away (4 blocks) in the Lucky Lab parking lot. No wait on late Friday morning, and the donuts were made fresh for us in about 5 minutes. All the flavors looked tempting but we went for coconut/caramel. We seriously overestimated how many we could eat -- the medium size would be good for a family of 4, there were probably about 15 pieces in there. (They do display containers so you can get an idea of the donut count.) Will be back the next time we're in the area and need a sweet treat (which is always). read more

Found loukoumades in Portland, at long last! Have been dreaming of these little nugs ever since attending the Cleveland Greek Fesitval almost 20 years ago. Before I gag at the thought of adulting for nearly 20 years, let me turn my attention back to these little beauties. Yanni's does them right-- you get a generous portion of steaming hot fried dough balls. I got them traditional style, drenched in honey and coated in cinnamon. Each one was a little pillow of delight. Pro tip: Dig down to the bottom and dip the top ones in the melted honey that pools down there. Yum! read more

I didn't think this place was anything special. The donuts were fine but not anything outstanding. I probably wouldn't go back. The guy making them was nice and service was good enough, it was just fairly meh, in my opinion. read more

Wow what a little gem of a food cart! The donuts are absolutely spectacular - chewy but crispy on the outside, and they do NOT skimp on the toppings... got a medium bowl of chocolate pistachio donuts (which is a LOT of tiny donuts) a frappe (great coffee with lots of lovely foam!), and a hot chocolate. Everything was delicious! The guy was super friendly and helped me make the hot chocolate kiddy temp for my kiddo. There's a little picnic bench next to it to sit and enjoy your treat. Definitely worth stopping by!! read more

Yanni's recreated a memory for me and that is not something many places can do so easily. The first taste of their Greek donuts brought me back to going to the Greek festival when I was a child with my mom and how special it was for us to have it once a year. It is exactly how I remembered it tasting and Yanni's took it to another level with their customized flavors. Our favorite was the caramel coconut which was sweet balanced with a hint of salt and nuttiness from the coconut shreds. I highly recommend checking them out and getting a coffee with your donuts. Perfection! read more

OMG! I just had a little pillows of heaven that brought me back to my childhood. Their Loukoumades are phenomenal, especially since we are in a city where is literally impossible to find, good, authentic Greek food. They are fried Greek donuts, generously smothered in honey, dusted with cinnamon. Go here and you won't be disappointed. FYI - they are polite as well. read more

Yannis is such a great addition to the neighborhood. Luke and Theo are awesome and this idea of theirs has given me some of the best Greek donuts I've ever tasted. Might even go so far as to say one of the best pastries I've ever had. The two brothers are so chill and kind and it's nice that you can grab a beer nearby if you're here in the afternoon. I recommend everyone try if they're a sweets fan! read more

Perfect! These are like donut holes with a nice topping, we got chocolate and pistachio and it was great.

Best loukoumades in Oregon. Crunchy, light syrup. Cheap. Friendly worker. Bright blue cart easy to spot.

Fast friendly service. Traditional Greek doughnuts with cinnamon and sugar plus two other varieties. I bought the chocolate and pistachio, excellent flavor, chocolate sauce is higher quality and very good taste. Just drip coffee and an iced frappe. Coffee is good and goes well with the treats. Nice to get the Greek donuts and not wait for the Greek festival. Donuts served hot and fresh. Chocolate ones were a little smooshed on ride home, presentation much nicer when first served. Located in parking area behind Lucky Lab, off street parking available with plenty of nearby street parking. read more
