The cost of the food can add up for sure - but I do think that the portions are bot bad (good P-P ratio).

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!

I ordered the french onion bread pudding, sesame chocolate chip cookie, and yuzu strawberry lemonade. They heated up the bread pudding for me which was lovely. Nice crispy texture and soft inside with lots of onion. I also enjoyed the choc chip cookie and the sesame added some nice texture/nutty flavor. The yuzu lemonade was ok. $7 felt a little expensive for a non coffee drink and the sweet/sour flavors weren't quite balanced enough for me. They have self serve order kiosks which I ended up not being able to use because an item was missing, so I had to ask the cashier to check out and was charged like a 20 cent service fee which seemed a little silly!! Overall solid spot but not the most convenient for me to return to location wise.

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!

She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area.
