If your Yorkie has never had a reaction and the benadryl is just a precaution, then the vaccine clinic is probably fine. We do benadryl subq before vaccines, not by mouth. Orally may be just as effective, but when the vet injects it, they know how long they should e waiting until the vaccine is given. If you give benadryl by mouth before leaving, get there and stand in line, the time thing may be a problem. You can always talk to the staff about it.
One problem with clinics is that they do usually carry steroids and benadryl for reactions, but they don't have a crash cart. They are likely not as prepared as a regular vet. They do have their place, but there is a lot to consider.
And also, groomers are not doctors and they should not be telling you to get the rabies vaccine more often than is required by state law. Only a vet has the training to be able to make that call. If the law just changed in your state, maybe the groomers haven't heard yet?
