Cachitos

If you love Venezuelan food, you'd love Cachitos. Best place to eat Cachitos in Montreal. They are amazing. And if you like a coconut, you must have the cocada! You will not regret!

A huge thank you to Carmen! Honestly, it’s not just about the food (which was amazing, by the way). It’s the warmth and kindness we felt from her. My friend and I were visiting Montreal, and when we saw they had cachitos, we were like, ‘Wait, what?!’ We were hooked! Definitely a solid 5 stars. My personal fave? The ham and cheese one – 100% recommend!

Must stop here, the memory of the chorizo fromage will follow me the rest of my life. The staff was kind and patient. There is a lot of seating for being a smaller location as well, to keep you out of the cold. They also offer hot chocolate!

I had the cachito with ham and cheese which was the perfect lunchtime snack. The cafe bonbon was also the sweet punch I needed for the rest of the day.

Love the fresh cheese stick, warm served with great service!

So simple yet so good. I got the recommendation from a Venezuelan friend to try this place out. My favourite one we tried was the spinach ricotta over the ham and cheese. We also got different drinks like the coconut one which were sweet and perfect for dessert. The actual desserts they had on display all looked so good and would go back to try other cachitos and a dessert next time.

Venezuelan food?! In Montreal?! Say less. This is a hole-in-the-wall bakery offering cachitos, a Venezuelan savory pastry usually filled with ham and typically shaped like croissants. They seemed to have some indoor seating, but we ordered at their outdoor window — it reminded us of the South Florida ‘ventanita’ culture. It was a lovely experience. We stumbled upon Cachitos while walking around Montreal and had to do a double-take. The place's name wasn’t in French, and upon closer look, we saw that it was a Venezuelan spot. Needless to say we had to try the food. As someone raised in Miami, I have somewhat high standards for Latin cuisine, and Cachitos’ food did not disappoint. They had an extensive menu of different cachitos, everything from the traditional ham and cheese to guava-filled ones (which I regret not getting). We went with the traditional ham, and it was delicious! You could tell it had been freshly baked. It was so warm, and every bite just took us back to the street food in Miami. It was one of the best fast-food Latin pastries I’ve had in a while. It came with a sauce side, making for the perfect pairing. The one thing I wish they did differently? Adding prices to their menu. I had no idea whether we would pay $10 or $3 (we ended up paying $6 for one, a fair price for a hearty snack).

We never had Cachitos previously, but now we are huge fans! We have been here a couple of times during our stay in Montreal. Cachito is a Venezuelan soft baked bread traditionally filled with minced ham. This little shop offers this unique baked good with additional flavors like spinach and ricotta, guava and cheese, beef and cheddar. They serve it with a small side of green sauce, which is really good. We have tried the traditional one with ham, and the other 3 mentioned earlier. All of them are excellent. The guava and cheese one is like a dessert, and the spinach and ricotta is a good vegetarian option. We went very close to closing time and yet got freshly baked warm cachitos. The service is very pleasant and the prices are reasonable. If you are a light eater, then a single cachito will be filling. I would definitely add this to a must try in Montreal. You have to experience these perfectly soft warm bread with a hint of sweetness and delicious filling! The shop is cozy with limited seating, but these are perfect to take out, carry around and eat while you are on the move.

I really enjoy this tiny little shop. They serve these great little savoury mini sandwich type pastry. I've tried them all and I am never disappointed. Warm, flavourful, and convenient to eat on the go! One easily satisfies my craving for a late afternoon snack. Please stop by if you are ever in the area catching a show or at a festival! Super friendly service.

First time having Cachitos. B found this place online and it was recommended. We showed up first thing in the morning when it opened. Cachitos is a very small shop that can only fit one customer and two at most. Selections is somewhat limited in the morning. I got the ham and cheese and B got the Chorizo and cheese. I really liked my ham and cheese. It came with a dip that was kind of a mixture of dill and ranch. It went well with the cachitos. We took our food and we went to Quartier des Spectacles/ near Desjardins Complex. There were seats just outside of Desjardins complex and that is where we ate our cachitos. I suppose the other options is to walk and eat. I recommend trying Cachitos if you have never had them before. I am sure all cachitos on the menu are tasty.

Walking down St Catherine, we ran into this casual Venezuelan sandwich shop. Cachitos are a Venezuelan food similar to the croissant, and are often filled with ham and cheese. The most common ingredients that make up a cachito bread are: Wheat flour, butter, eggs, room temperature milk, water, salt, yeast and a pinch of sugar. Cachitos are a staple in Venezuelan cuisine. Normally, they are eaten during breakfast hours, but they are also known to be eaten throughout the day. In Venezuela, some bakeries have made sure that the scent of fresh Cachitos are in the air by the time the country wakes up. Here in Montreal it seems to be just a fast food sandwich shop where you can walk in, get a cachito and eat it while you walk down the streets of downtown. We got a couple to try...they were delicious. The tres leches cake looked too god not be ordered, so we did..... Nice friendly staff.

I accidentally found this place and I was really impressed. My ham and cheese cachito exceeded my highest expectations. The man behind the counter was very friendly. Highly recommend. Absolutely would go again.

Excellent cachitos definitely authentic flavour! I'm a huge fan of these I will definitely be back. We ordered the guava and cheese and it was amazing! We even ordered the papalón with lime and that was very tasty and refreshing! Thanks again for the great service :)

Hello I was in the neighborhood and decided to go back and get some goodies to take home. I was introduced to this place from the last Yelp event. This time the person who served me was not in a good mood and was arguing with me. I wanted to get six pieces to take home but she said if I give you all six pieces I will have no more to give to customers. I told her to make more it's only 11:30 and I'm sure you will sell more. She said that should could not give me the six and I have to wait 20 to 25 minutes so that she make more. I took 6 and left after waited for them to be made. 3 chorizo and 3 beef and cheese The chorizo was over cooked and extremely dry The beef and cheese was very good and cooked perfectly

I've had Cachitos on my bookmarks list for a while now, from back when they were at their old location. I'm glad I got to try them finally. I liked it, but I didn't LOVE it. I went there with my mom. Our goal on our trip was to try as many places as possible, so we mostly would get an item or 2 and share. Our waistbands were pretty stretched by the time we were at Cachitos, lol, so we decided we were only going to get 1 cachito and share, but we were having a hard time deciding which one to get. The ladies working there were really nice and one asked us if it was our first time there. When we told it that it was, she gave us some samples of the Cheese Cachito. It was good, the cheese was a little bit stringy and it was mild, not pungent at all (I know that it's probably déclassé to admit this, but I hate strong cheeses. I'm a brie and mild cheddar kind of girl. Feta is about as strong as I'll go, lol). We finally decided on the chicken cachito ($3.95). The chicken cachito had shredded chicken in it with some spices. The bun was soft and the chicken was flavourful. It was good, but didn't wow me. I think that if I was in the area and wanted a snack that I could easily eat on the go, I would come back for one, but I doubt that I would make a special trip across the city for one. The place is cute with some bar seating along the wall.

Small sweetish bread rolled like a croissant and baked golden brown, called Cachitos, is a staple of a Venezuelan breakfast. Traditionally, they are filled with ham OR cheese, but in 21st century Canada, Cachitos (the shop, not the bread) serves cachitos (the pastry) with many modern flavours. My favorite flavours are: Beef and Cheddar: gooey, yellow cheddar cheese half melted on a generous portion of minced beef. 5/5 Ham AND Cheese: reminds me of the better version of my childhood lunches: fluffy bread baked golden brown instead of mushy white bread. 4.5/5 Guava and Cheese: are originally cuban, but the flavour combination apparently also works well in the form of a croissant. 4.5/5 Honorable mention: salmon (4/5) There's an accompanying herbal mayo with every cachito. It tastes almost like a tartar sauce. The owners are welcoming and take the time to explain every pastry if you ask. The desserts look very appetizing, but I haven't had the chance tot ry every one of them.

These were delicious! I've never had Cachitos before, but this was definitely a great first experience. I got the guava cheese one which was so warm and gooey. My friend got the chorizo and cheese one which he loved as well. Because of corona, they are only taking orders at the window, so you can't walk in and see everything, but it works and seems like a good idea!

I really like this place. I ate here by chance while doing some errands. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so good! The bread was so soft and buttery, everything was fresh and warm, and the little dip they give you is so fun. I've had the ham and cheese, ham and bacon, cheese, spinach and cheese, and cheese and guava. They were all pretty good, but my favorite is probably the ham and bacon, which is the more traditional choice. I was not a huge fan of the cheese and guava, as I wasn't expecting the guava to be so sweet, but it's more a matter of personal taste as opposed to it tasting bad. I still liked it. I had never had anything like that before so I didn't know what to expect at all. I usually get the lime drink as well. I can't remember what it's called, but it's very nice. It might be a bit too sweet for some people, though. The lady working there is warm and friendly and I felt very comfortable ordering. As someone with anxiety, this is very important!

Simple, delicious, and super reasonably priced (especially for it to be right next to place des arts where most things are expensive.) The bread is super soft and tasty and everything was nice and melty warm. I also had the dulce de leche cake and it was unsurprisingly very delicious as well. I wish the hours were extended a bit so I could go more!

Had a terrible experience on this place. Food was really bad and looked not fresh. When complained people there were very rude. Many other places better than that

By chance my friend and I walked by on their opening day (think they moved/re-opened) October 11th, 2016. It's a very small yet bright space (so much so that turning around can be a challenge), but it packs in a nice little selection of Venezuelan/Latin inspired baked food and dessert treats. No arepas we were told, but we did share the spinach and Parmesan filled Cachitos (a Venezuelan hot pocket of sorts). It was wrapped in a delicate, though quite munch-able, dough with a not too salty filling. You can get a small creamy dipping sauce (not sure what the spice was, and hard to dip while walking) with it at no charge. They have about a dozen fillings on display (not in stock at all times) from what I could see. Ranging from cheese only, to cheese and meat combinations, to some with fruit or chocolate. Most are about $3.95-4.25 plus taxes. The second visit we tried the most popular we were told - ham and cheese, with its semi-melty, semi-firm, mild tasting Latin style queso. This one was slightly better with the dipping sauce. Noted and took out a set of dulce de leche filled soft crumbly butter cookies ($3+taxes). They also have very neat looking cupcakes, tartlets and tres leches cake. Lots of yum in that area. A little pricey, but for the freshness, cleanliness and deliciousness...well you decide. Gracias.

Very nice staff, but nothing special going on food wise. Essentially they have sausages with bread baked around them. There's a few different flavors, and it's adequate. There is nothing going on that most artisinale bakeries don't already do better. If you are in the area, hungry and want to eat a sausage wit the bun built around it while walking around sure why not. Outside that it's not a destination spot.

A true Taste of Venezuela. Great service. The Jambon e Fromage Cachito is superb and the cheese melts in your mouth. Totally worth it

Every time I make it to Montreal, I stop in and grab some tasty baked goods. I'm yet to have one I didn't enjoy. I've been going here for a while now and the folks are always really nice and welcoming.

Cachitos is a great establishment. The owners are super friendly and willing to chat with you. it really feels like the old Venezuelan times when people will go out to panaderias to eat breakfast. The cachitos are even better than what you find in Venezuela. Flavors are good but not overpowering. Favorite flavors are ham & cheese, cheese and salmon. Never really tried the sweet versions so I can speak of them. Getting there about 20 minutes after opening will most likely guarantee a warm, fluffy cachitos. A must stop for my family when visiting Montreal.

We went here early on a Saturday morning while we were in town for the weekend. We were walking by prior to attending yoga, decided we were hungry and walked in. The girl behind the counter was very friendly, we got to talking and she told us all about the Venezuelan food, and her experience in Montreal. I liked the cachitos but wouldn't say I LOVED them. My friends did though so if they were reviewing this could easily shoot up to a 5. It was a cute little spot with about 5 bar stools so I'd recommend it for a quick bite with a small group or take out.

I had never heard of cachitos but decided to stop in when looking for something new. They're basically a simple baked bread with some sort of filling but that doesn't mean they aren't tasty! I tried the gruyere with jelly (guava? I don't speak French so hard to say) and the shredded chicken (served with an herb mayo) and both were real good. This is a great place to pick up a snack when on the go.

Went to Cachitos for breakfast while visiting Montreal , it hit the spot ! We had the Ham & Cheese, Spinach, and white Cheese Cachitos. The service was good, and the little shop clean organized and cute. Will be back !

Excellent cachitos from Venezuela. They have the traditional ham cachito and new flavors that are out of this world

This is a great place to grab breakfast. It's fairly inexpensive, the Cachitos taste fresh and are so soft, and the employees are very friendly. We tried the cheese, the cheese and guava, and the spinach. I would highly recommend the cheese and guava- the flavour combo is great, and it's something that isn't generally available everywhere. The cheese and the spinach were good too, but didn't blow me away. If you're looking for a cheap, quick, delicious breakfast this is a great option.

I can't resist going to this place to grab a cachito every single time I'm in the area. Usually I get the spinach and cheese cachito as well as the guava and cheese one. They're both delicious. I'm really glad they moved a bit closer to Place des Arts, it just makes it easier for me to drop by for a bite. I highly recommend this place!

I ordered 30 Cheese, Spinach, Ovava+Cheese and Chocolate Cachitos for breakfast at work and everyone liked it. I am impressed with quality ingredients. These are like filled Croissants but less buttery. Will be ordering more in future.

I didn't know what cachitos were before finding this place. So happy to have found it. These slightly sweet brioches with savoury fillings are outstanding. My favourite is the classic ham and cheese. Perfection.

So good. We stopped here for a quick breakfast while exploring downtown and were blown away by how good these cachitos are. We tried the cheese, ham and cheese, as well as the cheese and guava. Such a great savoury/slightly sweet flavour -- try them! The service was friendly, the food very reasonably priced, and everything was ready fast. We also had two of their signature coffees, with sweetened condensed milk at the bottom. Go try cachitos!!
