A great bunch place, chain or otherwise! I recently went here with a friend for a weekend brunch…read moreand had a good experience. We were able to order and get our food quickly and get seats, despite Tatte being busy. The costs were reasonable for our portion sizes and everything was beautifully plated. I got the tomato basil soup and the lamb hash and both were delicious. The tomato basil soup was rich and creamy; however, the roll could have been better. My lamb hash was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the potatoes. The labneh, herbs, and the tomato salad added delicious freshness to the hash, and the challah served as a great vessel for eating the hash. I tried my friend's spinach, Jerusalem artichoke, and egg plate, and it was also tasty, with properly done eggs and hearty bread. I would recommend Tatte for your next weekend brunch!

Later, I ventured out to their patio to snag a seat outside. The desert is essentially rice pudding and very sweet but addictive and milky enough for my liking.

Service is quick and pleasant. There's also limited outdoor seating if the weather is nice. My friend has ordered the Dolan cake and I've tried the vanilla eclair. When I've been here there are no prices listed for the pastries so be sure to ask if you are not familiar with DC prices. The pastries are really high quality. The vanilla eclair was decadent. I would recommend coming here for a quick coffee and/or pastry.

Thank you, Dav, for all the times you powered me through my studies with a perfect boost of caffeine. I will always be back.

This place is so dull, even a hangover won't drag me to get in. The fact it is in the middle of the American University campus, that in itself would have you believe that this place is the nucleus of gallant uprisings of intellectual revolution and meetings of professors and their beloved student, far from it! Its dull, over priced, bad service and certainly a hangout out of necessity because the nearest starbucks is far from a block away!

The actual space is large with plenty of seats from tables, booth seating, to high top tables. There are plenty of outlets and strong free WiFi. Restrooms are in the very back.
