Very nicely decorated space and nice staff. We were very pleased with our apps (the brie was delicious and the olive tapenade very good.) However our entrees then came out far too quickly after receiving our apps. Not only were we now feeling rushed to finish but there's not enough room at the small 2-tops for 2 app plates/planks, 2 entree plates, 2 waters (with bottle) and 2 wines. The crepes themselves were large, well presented and nicely flavored however the interior fillings were just barely lukewarm, not hot (although the crepes themselves were hot.) Another oddity that put me off was that they have wrapped the hot water pipes on the wall with rope. It's a very cute stylistic detail with one major downside -- IT SMELLS, people. Seriously, there is no way I'm the first one to notice this. The smell of heated rope, how to explain it... Kind of like burnt cumin? Or maybe hemp and dirt? Or that hippie friend in college who wore the dirty Baja pullover and patchouli oil? Either way it's distinctive and gets in your nose when you're sitting next to the pipe and, therefore, seeps into the way your brain perceives the taste of your food. I'm sure they'll do nicely on Main St. regardless.

Disappointed. We had a lovely lunch here a few months ago. Brought our daughters back for dinner. The waiter was not interested in small talk or being pleasant. The food was bland. The poulet crepe was inedible. The waiter walked past us a dozen times but never asked if everything was ok. Other tables seemed to get pleasant service, but there weren't many patrons on a beautiful Saturday evening. Left us feeling like we'd wasted a dinner.

We ordered the frites because the table behind us ordered them and literally we started to drool over the sight of them. What was great is that we were drinking at Tapas, outside and could order from cachette and tapas at the same time. The frites were amazing and hit the spot, I would defintely order again and come back to try the crepes. Only negative was we waited about 40 minutes for them to come out. I think they forgot to place our order and remembered last minute.

Visited Cachette while on a crepe crawl ( visiting as many creperies as possible in one afternoon). We ordered one sweet and one savory crepe. Both were very good- light, unique filling) but the experience was soured by our waitress who couldn't be bothered with providing any service. She took our order and that was the last we saw of her. I wanted a coffee and my daughter wanted water, but she never came by. We saw a bottle of water on a nearby table and served ourselves. She never even brought the check- we estimated to the total with tax based off of the menu and left the cash on the table. We won't be back- the crepe place on the south side had better crepes for less money and really pleasant servers.

Resturant has a great vibe and interior decoration was innovative. Got beignets and crepes, the crepes we well made and tasty. The beignets were microwaved. Would have been great if they were fresh fried. Brunch was loong, over an hour. Not sure if this was a true French attitude of a relaxed brunch or something else.
(4)Haley G.
Delicious! On the medium side of prices, but the portions were balanced. Was overall full and very happy from my meal. Looking forward to returning and enjoying a sweet crepe soon. I ordered the Savory Italiano- mozz cheese, spinach, tomatoes, pesto. My fav cambo of flavors.

I don't even know where to begin. Cachette, located in Bethlehem, is one of very few, if not the only, French Bistro in the area that claims to be "authentic." Having lived in France for a while and being a French speaker, I was so excited to give it a try! I was disappointed. Since I have been to the "sister" restaurant of Tapas which has menu items in Spanish, I expected the same for Cachette. Nope. They had maybe two words of French on the menu. Also, the menus were just two sheets of printer paper on a CLIP BOARD. I find that to be somewhat tacky especially for the prices being paid. The server we had, like others have mentioned, seemed disinterested. She had very little knowledge about the wine list. I am also pretty certain that not a single member of the staff speaks a word of French. I'm not trying to be overbearing, I get it. It's Bethlehem and not Paris. That being said, don't claim to be what you're not, Cachette. I honestly hope the owner sees my review because I think the place has a lot of potential! I would LOVE to work with them on their menu to make it at least a little French and work with their staff on the language. I think it would make the atmosphere all the more authentic and professional. Not trying to sound all high and mighty, I just want so badly for this restaurant to meet its full potential.

Cute little bistro/Crapery! I like that you can order from both cachette and tapas menus! I was recently there with a group of girlfriends and we all enjoyed our drinks... I had the citrus Cosmo which was yummy! The crepes are good but not the best I've had! Service was great and Gruyere cheese fries were Delish! Cute place.... Would be nice if they served breakfast crepes

Been here a few times. Never had crepes better than here. The ambiance is simply so awesome, elegant and creative. It's that kind of place you just love to go even for a coffee (also amazing) and enjoy the view in and out of the place. Nice spot in downtown Bethlehem. The ladies are always friendly. Food quality = as good as it gets.

The food was ok; not great. My chicken crepe was not very flavorful, but my son liked his crepe and the baked Camembert cheese was good. Unfortunately the service was disappointing. The best way I could characterize it is to say that the server seemed disinterested. He forgot to place our order for the Camembert. An honest mistake and he apologized for it, and we had it after rather than before our crepes. That was fine, but his flat affect and slow pace revealed...well...disinterest. When the Camembert arrived and he had already taken away our silverware, so we had to ask for new silverware. Rather than give us each a knife and fork, we each got a complete napkin pack bringing the table's elegant napkin total to 4 for 2 people. Then we had to ask for plates since the Camembert was served on one serving platter. We had to ask for the check multiple times and it was very slow moving, especially since there were only two other occupied tables inside the restaurant and multiple servers. Finally, and I gotta say this is really a pet peeve of mine, we were charged for every soda refill. Two thoughts about this: first, is it nor reasonable to say that today's norm is that restaurants offer free refills? It's fine if a restaurant diverts from this common practice but if they do, I think it's incumbent on the server to make this clear before offering to refill your drink! Second, if you're going to charge for refills, it is pretty tacky to serve each $2 drink in a small 6 oz. glass filled top to bottom with ice. The net yield of actual soda in a single drink might've been 2 oz., or $1 for a shot of soda. This nickel and dime approach to generating income is tiresome.

I'll start with saying I've never had savoy crepes before so this was a first. I had the Miami which was shrimp, red peppers and quinoa, it was super tasty. My parents had the French and Poulet crepes which they reported were delicious. For dessert we shared a half a dolce de leche crepe which was heavenly and I could have eaten all day. Service was a bit slow but over all I enjoyed it.
(4)Dinnabon S.
Great atmosphere especially outside. I've had better crepes but this place has a spot in my favorites list. Coffee is great. I highly recommend a cappuccino. I had a dulce de leche crepe which was delicious but, again, I've had better but none of this area.

Cachette, a French term that means "hiding place," reminded me a lot of the intimate chic restaurants that adorn my favorite place on Earth- New York City. Very quaint with its delicate touches and laid back atmosphere. The restaurant has a rustic sophistication to it without feeling pretentious. The co-owners, Chef Palomino and Juan Carlo, along with their management and staff, know how to treat guests in their space. My cousin and I visited this restaurant on their first day of business and upon speaking with the owners and staff (Lauren- the manager and Bekah- our sever), we felt like we had dined there several times before. I made reservations prior to arriving, however, they were not necessary, as the restaurant did not advertise their soft opening. With that in mind, they still had a sizeable number of patrons who wanted to try the newest eatery on Main Street. Once we sat down we decided to try several plates to get a good feel for what their menu had to offer. The menu prices are attractively reasonable- ranging from $3.95 to $11.95. We started our meal by sampling the Olive Tapenade from the "Small Plates and Sandwiches" section of the menu. This was the only thing we ordered that I was not crazy about. Albeit good, however, the flavor seemed a bit off to me and I couldn't really put my finger on it as to what it was... The Arugula Salad was incredible. Fresh, crisp greens that were coated lightly with tasty Champagne Mustard Vinaigrette dressing. Mix in the melt in your mouth goat cheese and crunchy almond slices and you've got a very flavorful and delicious salad. Next time I go I will definitely get this with the grilled chicken or Shrimp option. Next, we ordered The Mexican and The Miami Savory Crepes. The Mexican Crepe had juicy chipotle pulled chicken, fresh tomatoes, cheddar, sour cream, black beans, and salsa verde. Overall, the flavors were pleasant, however, I felt that a little corn and some traditional fresh salsa would have taken this crepe to the next level. The Miami was sheer perfection. Diced sautéed shrimp, perfectly cooked quinoa, melted gruyère cheese, and garlic aoili...it doesn't get much better than that! Okay, I lied, it does get better. We decided to try the French Burger. A tender and succulent mix of angus, brisket and short rib meats. Cooked to juicy perfection and topped with thin crispy apple slices and gruyere cheese. House-made fries lightly sprinkled with sea salt and a smoked bacon aioli accompanied the burger on its cutting board plate. Lastly, we ordered The Classic Crepe. It was my cousin's birthday so they brought it out with a candle on it, along with a birthday serenade from one of the talented kitchen staff members. His voice was quite powerful and enjoyable- not what we expected to hear when he approached our table. It was a pleasant surprise! The crepe was a proportionate combination of Nutella, strawberries, and banana. The Classic was the perfect compliment to a deliciously satisfying meal. Plus, who doesn't like Nutella?! Excellent food and service, definitely recommend! Below is a link to view the images I captured while dining at this great addition to Main Street Bethlehem. I look forward to eating here again soon! jhmphotography.com/Resta…

Amazing atmosphere and food. Do not miss this place. All of their crepes, savory and sweet, are delicious.

This is a great new spot on Main Street! My husband and I did a late lunch here and were thrilled with our meals. We started with the gruyere and bacon fries which were flavorful. My husband enjoyed the El Cubano savory crepe while I had the Miami crepe. The El Cubano is so decadent. The Miami crepe is very light, you definitely have to like quinoa because there is quite a bit in it. For dessert we enjoyed the bananas foster crepe. They offer half portions for the dessert, which was perfect! The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. Between the french music playing and the quaint decors the entire atmosphere of the place is amazing. It's odd to say, but the bathroom is really unique too. Definitely a must for a date night!

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!! We waited an hour and 20 minutes for food and then only 3 of the entrees came out. We waited another 15 minutes for the other 2 entrees. There was about a 40 minute period where the waitress ignored us. We even explained we had a show to see and we had more than enough time and then ended up barely making it and rushing because of the terrible service. And the food wasn't that good. The olives were just something you'd get at a cheap grocery store.

Came here tonight for the first time. Wow! It is definitely going to be one of my new Bethlehem staples!!!

Surprisingly special. We had the crepe bourguigon which was beef with wild mushrooms and cartelized onions. It was delicious. Also had the Miami crepe made of shrimp , quinoa , roasted red peppers, Gruyere cheese and aioli. Don't know which was the best. Both were outstanding. It is a simple place but you will be glad you came. There is a limited bar selection but enough wines and beers plus a few cocktails. Desert was Dulce de Leche., caramel , vanilla cream and angleise. Service was also good. Try the Cachette you will not be disappointed
(5)Asim A.
The food is decent but the service is horrible. I don't think they are interested in being very busy as every time we have tried to go with a decent sized party they don't show any enthusiasm in serving or making room for us...there are other eateries in the area with limited space who are much more accommodating...and customer friendly.I guess that is what happens if the owner is not always on top of things and delegates to employees who are not as vested in the business as he may be. Learn from bolete, molinaris and others who charge around the same in the area. Location can only get you so far. You are not doing me a favor by serving me food and taking my money.
(2)Pelin C.
Both savory and sweet crepes are very delicious! Very cozy atmosphere with light french music and nice service. The coffee is not the best, yet it is good with the crepes. I gave 4 stars because of the cleanliness of the utensils.
(4)Jehan M.
The atmosphere is lovely, but I wish there were more sweet crepe options. I believe there were 5 varieties of the sweet crepes, but 3 were made with alcohol, which I can't have. I tried the Dulce de Leche with ice cream, which was delicious.
(3)Natalya S.
I was pleasantly surprised! I've never had a crepe before and am glad this was the first place I've tried one! We started with the olive tapenade. I've never had that before, either, so I have nothing to compare it to. It was a nice tangy olive flavor, served with bread and fresh rosemary. For the crepes, we tried the French (beef bourginone - if I spelled that correctly?!) and the Cuban (pulled pork with Gruyere, ham, pickles, and a mustard aoli). Both were delicious, and big!! There was plenty to make a meal of it, with some left over. The crepes tasted a little eggy to me but not to my friends. I don't know if that's usual? We tried dessert as well, one dulce de leche and one crepe Suzette. They were quite sweet, but you can order the sweet crepes in half sizes. The Suzette I think was made with marmalade. A little too sweet for my taste but in any case, delicious! I will be back to try something else! Oh also a nice hot tea selection, but expensive! You will be charged for a second cup of tea, and they are small!
(4)Keith L.
My savory crepe was good as were the fries. We actually received a second order of fries as the first order was mushy, but the second try came out perfect. Service was excellent. Will try it again one day for a sweet crepe. Decor is spartan, but classy, making for a dining room with a lot of loud echo.
(3)Rick O.
This business just opened and it is amazing! The crepes are magnificent, very tasty and more than substantial. The service is terrific, and the prices are fair and reasonable. Be prepared for long lines as the word gets out.
