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

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!

The fact the cashier forgot parts of our order in the fridge wasn't a great first impression.

My favorite coffee shop in the world. The Dav, as us…read moreAmerican students so affectionately call it, is essential to life at the university. I think the hot matcha tea latte is the best. The selection of teas is exquisite, and the "mush" overnight oats are delicious! I rarely indulge in the pastries here, but they are sugary, tempting, and delicious as well. 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!

We ordered and paid quickly. They had lots of gourmet food options and I look forward to coming back when I need fancy salts or other such items!

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

We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.

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.

Started by two veterans, Compass has weathered some bumpy roads over the last few years with leadership, splits, and unions. That said, this location is quite large. Ironically, it's close to a Starbucks in Spring Valley in Northwest D.C. Walk inside and order a pastry or one of their many coffees. Their almond butter latte is among my favorites. 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.

Inside of the cafe, there was plenty of seating where people worked on their laptops (and super quiet too). If I'm ever in the area again, I will be open to try more of their drink options!
