Nick the Greek Bringing Greek Froyo Throughout California



Fro-yo girl here. While I was feeling sad about how mini chain, Yalla Mediterranean, stopped offering Greek froyo, I was reminded that the Nick the Greek franchise has been growing throughout California. A new Nick the Greek location opened in Ventura on May 23, 2020.

Nick the Greek was established in 2014 by three cousins, all named Nick, and all 2nd generation Greeks. The authentic Greek fare served in a fast casual setting. The specialities are souvlaki and gyros. The first location opened in downtown San Jose. They added Greek froyo in 2018 at one location in San Jose and now offer it at all their locations. They offer one flavor, plain Greek frozen yogurt. You can get it plain or with honey and baklava. I hope they’ll offer a smaller size in the future. The current size is huge.

Nick the Greek currently has 13 locations; 11 of the 13 are in the Bay Area. The Ventura location is their first in Southern California.

The locations and the year they opened are:

  • Downtown San Jose, 2014
  • Almaden Expressway, San Jose, 2015
  • Sunnyvale, 2016
  • Willow Glen, San Jose, 2016
  • Santa Teresa, San Jose, 2016
  • King Road, San Jose, 2016
  • Redwood City, 2017
  • Stevens Creek, San Jose, 2018
  • Morgan Hill, 2019
  • Santa Cruz, 2019
  • San Carlos, 2019
  • Santa Clara, 2019
  • Ventura, 2020

According to the Nick the Greek website, future locations will be opening in:

  • Gilroy
  • Mountain View
  • Napa
  • Newport Beach
  • San Diego
  • South San Francisco
  • Union City

I can't wait to eat Greek froyo from the new locations! They also make loukoumades, Greek donuts. Donuts & froyo!


You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
