A bit of a hidden gem since it's a block or so off the main street in Chinatown but totally worth a…read morevisit! It feels like a really classic Chinese bakery and such great prices that I feel like are unheard of these days. Even when we went around 1:30 on a Saturday they were still fairly well stocked. We got the peanut mochi, walnut cookie and pineapple buns. All less than $2 a piece. The peanut mochi is my favorite. The mochi is super soft and the filling is a peanut and coconut that is the perfect flavor and crunchy texture. The pineapple buns are very soft and they don't skimp on the filling.

Stopped by the Boston location after hearing so much about Uncle Tetsu's famous Japanese…read morecheesecake. There was a short wait since they bake the cheesecakes fresh in batches, but it moved pretty quickly. The Original Japanese Cheesecake was warm, soft, and definitely lived up to its signature "jiggle." It's very different from a traditional cheesecake--much lighter, fluffier, and less sweet, almost like a cross between a soufflé and a sponge cake. If you're expecting a rich New York-style cheesecake, this isn't that. Personally, I enjoyed how light it was, and it didn't leave me feeling overly full. The staff was friendly, and the shop was clean and well organized. My only suggestion would be to have a few more seating options since it's mostly grab-and-go. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in downtown Boston or curious about Japanese-style cheesecake. I'd come back again and would like to try some of their other pastries next time.

I ordered an Ube cheesecake and repeated my order as it seemed there might have been some miscommunication. I was in a bit of a rush due to limited parking and unfortunately didn't check my bag before leaving. When I got home, I realized I had been given a different cheesecake than what I ordered. I decided to keep it rather than return, as going back to Chinatown wasn't convenient at the time. The cheesecake itself was also disappointing in texture and freshness--it felt quite soggy and not as fresh as expected. Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations, and I don't think I would return.

Walk up the stairs and the cases show off their pre-wrapped buns and other goodies. The cashier has a gruff about her that's not as inviting. The coconut butter bun was lacking than the more usual coconut bun with filling. The Portuguese eggs tarts were luciously soft and creamy not too sweet, and the regular egg tarts good. Good bakery overall but not earth shattering with a decent selection. Enjoy!

The bread kept being stocked and it felt like I was in a corporate bakery not a local one. But prices were fair and system was efficient. There is a minimum 10 dollar purchase to pay with credit card. Otherwise it is cash only! Also they don't have pennies. Pretty cozy inside but no room to eat!

On a weekday, there was little wait and plenty of seating. The selection of pastries was immense. The only downside is how loud it can get. I'm not sure if it's the tall ceilings or the music, but this is not a quiet cafe if you prefer that kind of atmosphere. I ordered the new corn and spinach shakshuka and was not disappointed. It had just the right amount of chili oil and some sliced tomatoes reminiscent of the traditional shakshuka. The zucchini was al dente and added the perfect crunch. The eggs were not poached nicely, which led to a messy appearance in the dish, but that was the only critique I had. It came with wheat sourdough which was perfectly grilled with butter and utterly delicious.

We wanted just a touch of tea, and happened one of the locations of Tatte Bakery & Cafe, the one on Summer Street near the Financial District. It's a rather large bright modern corner spot with huge windows facing both Summer and High streets. I am guessing around 25 seats at tables, another dozen or so at the coffee bars, more at a counter along the window. There were bright spring flowers outside, around 20 seats at tables, and maybe 10 Adirondack chairs. We got a simple black tea, with sugar and milk, and noticed that the tea is in more of an open-mesh net than a finely-woven tea bag. The tea was strong and rich with no bitterness. For a bit of lunch, we can't resist a traditional shakshuka. They say it's "North African" style: poached in a rich tomato sauce with bell peppers and onions, flavored with cumin and lightly spiced with chili. Lovely, dense, and satisfying. They have so many fresh pastries, we could not resist a creamy-textured halva muffin. A perfectly pleasant deIght to finish our tea. Tatte grew from a Boston farmers' markets to have many locations around Boston, and as far as Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC! We'll certainly keep an eye open in Annapolis and Rockville!

Roasted pork and wonton noodles ($12.95) - the pork inside the wonton was black and had a terrible smell. The boneless spareribs also looked dark and not fresh.
