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.

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!

Very cute space, they're known for their bread. Their pastries were good, but nothing out of this world.

Recently, the owner told me that this summer marks her first full year in business, and it's easy to see why she's made it. If you stop in, tell her congratulations!

There's plenty of seating, though I wish their back tables were smaller because then one person using their laptop takes over an entire four-top. Service is a bit slow when the place gets crowded. We left a little early when a large group of book club folks came in and tried to take every available chair they could (they should've called ahead to give the staff a heads up). Food is decent enough, especially the tasty shakshuka with lentils, but the omelet was quite dry. And maybe it's just me getting old, but the classical background music was way too loud for a Sunday. There's enough people chattering to keep the place lively. This space was empty for awhile, so I'm glad Yours Cafe is here, and I wish them success.

But I think it's the people and community that really tip the scales. As soon as the Com-Coff door is ajar, Morgan (one of Compass Coffee's finest) or any of the other baristas greet me by name. Other regular customers I meet there have identical sentiments. The staff is efficient, quick and work with grace; and sometimes with a bit of wit ... even despite recent the occasion(s) when there less a barista or two. :)
