4-cheese quiche with Greek salad
Cassie C.

This is a nice spot for fresh food and brewed teas. The daily lunch specials had good choices. I got the quiche of the day, 4-cheese, with Greek salad on side and also a fresh brewed iced tea. Simple and good. Friendly staff too.

Chipotle chicken with corn chowder soup

Order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Staff was very helpful, polite. Sandwich was good, really nice chipotle sauce. The corn chowder was unique and flavorful. Restaurant was clean and has a great outside seating area. Also liked that they have a you pick two option! Will definitely return to grab a soup or sandwich. Looking forward to sitting outside next to the pond with a coffee!

What a great spot! It is clean, spacious, the staff are all so nice, and the food is tasty. The artwork on the wall is beautiful. They even have monthly open mic nights that are open to the community. I highly recommend this place. Go eat good food and know that it helps serve a greater purpose

Fresh side of the day.

I came for the food (specifically lunch) and what got was not only a good meal but I helped support a business that helps to provide opportunities for those with mental health challenges in the Northampton County. The restaurant is clean and welcoming and after grabbing a menu, my dining companions and I placed our order with a lovely employee whom was all to happy to make sure we got what we wanted. After we paid, we moved to a small, bright and airy dining room whose walls were adorned with people whom did not let mental challenges stop them from doing great things. In no time our meals were brought out to us (turkey sandwich and a mixed salad for myself). The food was fresh and delicious, especially the salad which included mixed greens, roasted peppers and some lovely cherry tomatoes. My sandwich also came with a freshly prepared side - which on the day we dined was a pasta salad. It was a little over dressed but I used it to dip my turkey sandwich in. I had no idea before arriving the great work that Cafe The Lodge does in the community. It's a great way to reduce the stigma of mental illness and provide vocational skills to its employees. And even better is that there food is good, a sentiment all my dining companions agreed with. Cafe the Lodge is great way to get a good meal and help the community at the same time.

The backyard is adorable.

We love this little spot! We found it when we were down at the Kristkindlemarkt. Great food! I got the blue burger and my husband got the buffalo chicken wrap. Loved the outside

caesar salad

Stopped here for lunch after touring Lehigh. Everything sounded so good, I had a hard time deciding what to order. I ended up getting the Greek wrap with chips (they accidentally gave me macaroni salad, which I didn't mind) and it was super tasty. The chicken was seasoned well, I liked the roasted red peppers, and the balsamic vinegar dressing was good. This is one of the best wraps I've had, and it was fresh! I tried a bite of the salads my family ordered and those were delicious too. Service is very friendly, and the prices are an amazing deal. It was about $6.75 for a salad! (see picture)

Mushroom meltdown and strawberry milkshake

Nice cute atmosphere, and you're also supporting local charity by eating here! Didn't discover this little place until recently and wish I knew about it earlier...but price wise, its cheap! And you get a decent amount. The staff is super friendly, they even come over and check on how you're doing mid-meal, and make sure everything is done right.

See all

My only complaint is I live over an hour away. I fall in love with cafes easily, but not without…read morevery high requirements. A coffee elitist ? Yes. I am. But life can be so unfair, can't it ? There are few things that are more soothing than waking up to a black cup of well-made coffee. I have a thing for pour over--gesha and rare single-origins. They're not always easy to find at a coffee shop. Passenger has some of the best beans and that's what used here. The staff made me a perfect gesha and a beautiful cappuccino. I'm unsure where the pastries are from, but they all looked delicious & I loved the oatmeal cream pie. The cafe has multiple areas of seating for you to yearn, write, read, study, yap in. I'll be back to park myself in that cozy enclave and enjoy 3-4 cuppas.

This is quite possibly the best coffee shop I've been to, period. And as a coffee lover (and self…read moreproclaimed coffee snob), I have been to a LOT of coffee shops. We ordered 2 cappuccinos with oat milk and a pourover, and everything was ... perfect. The cappuccinos were just the right temperature, the milk was foamed perfectly, and you could actually taste the unique flavor of the coffee beans. The pourover was amazing, and you could tell they took care to brew it properly. We also ordered an earl grey scone and cheddar bread with PB, honey, and banana, and both were delicious. As a bonus, the space is beautiful with plenty of seating, and a parrot that fascinated my toddler. We live about 90 minutes away, but as soon as we left, we started thinking of reasons to go back.

You could get your bubble waffle flavored with red bean or matcha. Or you could get them plain if you wanted. I love being able to choose! Variety is the spice of life! So many options, so many toppings, and so many Asian flavors! I love it! The place is small and only has counter seating along the walls but it's so much better than Wondaffles across the street! The service was nice. The young guy who helped me was so patient and that goes a long way!

I order from HOCAA almost every Sunday on Uber Eats. I love their drinks, they're always well-made,…read moremy order has never been wrong. I think for the quality of their drinks, their prices are very acceptable! Where this location is, in Bethlehem, it is 30 minutes from where I am and when the drinks arrive they're always packaged good, I always have straws, my drinks are always still cold, tapioca is always good, and the drinks always taste exactly like I ordered them before. I have also been into the store personally 4 times and it is kept very clean and the workers are sanitary. 10/10 in all areas, though I have never tried their food, but I'm sure it's good. I love the drink selection, especially their Oreo crème brûlée and watermelon coconut bubble tea. Just amazing! KEEP IT UP!!!

It…read morewas founded by restaurateurs and business partners Juan Carlos Paredes and chef Rafael Palomina. Both hailing from Bogota, Colombia, the two partners own a number of restaurants both separately and together. With Tapas on Main, they brought authentic Spanish-inspired dishes to downtown Bethlehem. In February 2015, when the unit next door became available, the partners opened a French-style bistro dubbed Cachette Bistro + Creperie. With both eateries adjacent to each other, they can share the same kitchen and liquor license; it makes for easy management. Palomina serves as the executive chef for both establishments, while Luis Abundez serves as the chef de cuisine. My family and I visited Tapas on Main and Cachette Bistro + Creperie this past summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We stopped by while exploring Main Street and it looked like a cool place to get brunch. Although we were all seated in Cachette's dining room, the staff said that we were allowed to order anything from either establishment's menu. For drinks, I ordered a "Limoncello Spritz" while my wife had a "French 75". For food, I had the "Smoked Salmon Benedict" (two poached eggs, smoked salmon, sautéed spinach, bacon crumbles and hollandaise over English muffins), my wife had the "Huevos Rancheros Crepe" (two fried eggs, chorizo, pico de Gallo, cilantro rice, black beans, jack cheese), and our sons shared the "French Toast" (fresh bananas & strawberries, maple syrup). We all really enjoyed our meal! Our extended family also enjoyed their dishes, which included the "Croque Madame" (gruyere, ham & egg sandwich, served w/ frisee & apple salad). Whether you fancy a culinary trip to Spain or France, you'll find plenty of delicious dishes at these two establishments!

We visited this spot for brunch as a group of eight. We made a reservation online in advance,…read morethough calling is also an option. The service was excellent, and our waiter was friendly. However, the food was brought out as it was ready rather than all at once, which made for an odd dining experience--some people received their meals much earlier than others. It would have been better if the food arrived together so no one had to wait while others ate or risk their meal getting cold. Food Ratings: Classic Crepe (Gluten-Free): 8/10 2 Eggs Over Hard with Home Fries: 10/10 Classic Crepe: 9/10 Classic Crepe (Gluten-Free, No Banana): -- 8/10 French Toast: 6.5/10 Italian Crepe: 8.5/10 (Pesto was good) California Crepe: 2/10 (Wouldn't recommend; should be removed from the menu) House Fries: 10/10 (Not actually fries, more like potatoes, but highly recommended) Overall Impression: A mediocre brunch spot. It's best to keep it simple--stick with the crepes and maybe the house fries. Street parking is available. The food took so long so they brought out a happy birthday ice cream!
