Bites Nearby: Confetti Cafe

A charming atmosphere; fast, friendly service; delicious, well-priced food; and of course, yummy ice cream for dessert--these are just some of the attributes ascribed to Bethlehem's Confetti Cafe by exuberant online reviewers. 

Confetti, a downtown fixture for decades, features a menu offering an assortment of appetizers, soups, chili, salads and sandwiches. Among their appetizer offerings are favorites such as nachos, sautéed portobella mushrooms and quesadillas, and their generous portions are often enough for two to share.

From a basic ham and cheese sandwich to their vegetarian Main Street Masterpiece (whole wheat bread, swiss cheese, mushrooms, zucchini, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce and tomato finished off with mayo, Dijon and a splash of poppyseed dressing), this is an eatery with something to please everyone. 

Dinner specials are widely varied, and have been known to include Confetti Café Crab Cakes, meatloaf and Eggplant Rollatini. The restaurant is also BYOB if you’re so inclined.

And for dessert? The cafe offers a delicious selection of cheesecakes, chocolate ganache, cannoli and more. Tempted by their ice cream selections? Ask for a sample and try the cake batter. It’s their most popular choice.

Confetti Café is located at 462 Main Street in Bethlehem. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11am to 8:30pm. For their full menu and additional information, visit their website or their Facebook page.
