Sausage breakfast sandwich
Heidi F.

We were in the area for the St. Patrick's Day parade and grabbed a sandwich and chai tea. I was incredibly impressed. The food is delicious and the vibes were stellar. While it was busy the staff was friendly, knowledgable and moving fast! The restaurant was super cute and felt like a resort. The breakfast sandwich was impressive and delicious. The sunny side up was the star of the show. The chai tea wasn't the best I've had but I would try it again! I'm definitely going to look to visit other locations.

French Toast

I ordered the Lamb Meatball Shakshuka, which was delicious. Definitely recommend! I forgot to take a picture. But I did snag a pic of the French toast someone else at our table got. Enjoy! LOL

Americano

This is a very cute and large cafe. Their coffee is good, and their turnover was tasty! We didn't have to wait long, but it does get very busy especially on weekends. The line moves quickly and they bring everything to your table.

I stumbled upon this really cute breakfast spot My food was delicious and I will be returning for the pastries because I can tell they taste good ! Service was fast too !

Standard Tatte bakery and cafe. Ordered a quick hot matcha with vanilla sweetener to go since I was in a bit of a rush. The staff were very helpful in pushing out my drink quickly since I was in such a hurry. It's spacious and still somewhat busy for it being 7 PM at night. I would say the downside with Tatte is how expensive their items are.

Pistachio latte
Ruby B.

The pastries through the window caught my eye as we walked through Old Town Alexandria, and with the chilly weather, it was the perfect excuse for a hot drink. I had the pistachio latte with oat milk and vanilla syrup. I loved the pistachio crumbles in it, they went perfectly with the creamy latte, and it was delicious and warming. We tried the Pistachio Cherry Tart. I loved the pistachio flavor, but the tart was a bit dry. The cafe is cozy with plenty of seating, perfect for enjoying a drink while chatting with friends or getting some work done on your laptop. There are two private restrooms, though long lines can form at times. Overall, I really enjoyed the visit. Bella was very friendly and helpful, and I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Menu

A good coffee shop that's local to Boston but has a bunch of locations in the dmv now. They have a good variety, pastries, and food options. The pastries and desserts are all pretty good with some better than others. The honey carrot cake is a bit dry and was a little overcooked, but I've had other pastries before that have been good. It's crowded on a Sunday morning, but they have a lot of seating inside and a couple of tables outside along the sidewalk you are nice to sit at if it's a nice day.

This is now our favorite cafe when in DC! Delicious food, good service in a cozy atmosphere. The chocolate heart chocolate mouse dessert they had for Valentine's Day was to die for.

Lemonade.

As soon as I saw the name and font, I knew exactly what this place would look like on the inside and how things would be served. Turns out I was exactly right. Fancy sandwiches with a lot of white decor and tile. It's not a bad thing, I just found it amusing. It was a brutally hot day and we were walking around Alexandria in need of a cool spot to have lunch. This place is a good size, the air conditioning was pumpin, and the menu is full of the kind of food that won't leave you feeling bloated and more hot. Your wallet will certainly weigh less, that's for sure. I had the BLAT, which is like if someone added turkey to avocado toast. The sandwich certainly looked nice, and the tastes were all fresh including what I'm guessing is bread baked on site. I also got a lavender lemonade to go with it, and that provided even more refreshment on this super hot day. No complaints on the taste, it was just all pretty expensive for what you get, but I suppose that's the norm around here. Would return if in the area seeking a fresh sandwich, but wouldn't necessarily make any special trips.

Pear Tart
Mel J.

We came upon the cafe on our way back from Alexandria. We decided to check it out since there was a line although it was in the evening around 4:30pm. The line moved quite fast and I ordered and paid at the cashier and found seats near the bar area. - pear tart: delicious! The tart had crumbly sweet crust. The almond filling had perfect sweetness and the pear on top complimented it perfectly. - pistachio latte: just okay. The pistachio wasn't too pronounced but it had good hint of sweetness. However, I had to wait for a long time to get my drink and even after finishing my tart. I think that they missed my order and after asking for it, I got it right away.

House Iced Honey Halva Latte - 12 oz
Angelina B.

First time visiting a Tatte after having it on the to do list for so long! Stopped across the street for a pedicure and once told there was a short wait, it was the perfect opportunity! This location is located on the corner, but there's only one entrance, on King St. and people enter through the door on the left. There was a short line, but that gave us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted and look at the bakery items in the glass case. My partner opted for an orange juice ($6) and I, the house latte ($6). It was something new and I really enjoyed the honey and cardamom taste! The staff was nice, drink made quickly and location clean. I'd come back to a Tatte, but not on a regular basis.

My daughter loves their coffee, figured we'd try it out after having pho down the street. Good vibe, love the setting. Great place to catchup with friends. Would give it more stars, but they took a really long time to make my drink. Not sure why it took so long? Probably the Pistachio latte I ordered needed manual grinding? Their coffee is good - quality ingredients. 8 out of 10 for me. Enjoy.

Original sausage Breakfast Sandwich
Jordan J.

So I went to Tatte's Bakery & Cafe recently to meet up with a colleague. I had heard about the cafe from a few friends and decided it would be a great time to check it out and grab breakfast. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the meal I had and here's why. First things first, I can say that the service was very good. You have to place your order at the check-out register, but no worries, the lady helped me promptly, even though they were moderately busy at the time. The staff was very friendly and once I ordered and sat down at the table, I received my food in less than 5 minutes. Now, to the food. My breakfast sandwich unfortunately was delivered to me cold and the eggs on the sandwich were a bit lifeless. It's almost as if the ingredients are not freshly made with every sandwich and they were sitting around for a bit. The flavor profile overall for the sandwich just did not jump out at me and lacked seasoning. After 2 bites I gave up and decided to call it quits on my breakfast. The bread was also a weird medium between being toasted and not toasted. Almost as if it was toasted for a a minute or so but not long enough for the bread to be crisp Overall, it was a disappointing experience for me. My colleague ordered a French vanilla latte that she said she liked, so I recommend if you do stop here maybe just go for coffee or lattes. The ambiance of the establishment was good. It's located in a central area in Old Town and the restaurant has a lot of seating, including by the window in case you'd like to just relax and people watch.

Sunday Brunch day! Today I was craving a nice Omelette, and…read moremy brunch philosophy is always quality over quantity. And since it's officially fall, I couldn't resist adding a little pumpkin flavor to my Sunday with a pumpkin spice latte. I actually started at another restaurant that I won't name. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite meet the moment. I sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes without any acknowledgment from the bartender. I completely understand that Sundays during brunch can be busy, but a simple "Hey, I'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. So I decided to take my beautiful self to HomeGrown. ‍ And I'm glad I did! I knew it was Sunday brunch, so I expected it to be busy. Luckily, there were two open seats at the bar, and I was shown to one right away. The bar was busy, but the bartender immediately acknowledged me and let me know she'd be right with me. That small gesture was appreciated, so I happily sat back and waited. My bartender/waitress, Ashley, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone at the bar was taken care of. My food came out in a timely manner, and the omelet was really good! I substituted the bread for challah, and let me tell you... that was a good decision. And of course, I had to try the pumpkin spice latte. Delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday brunch experience at Homegrown and would definitely come back to try something else on the menu. Sometimes it really is the little things -- a simple acknowledgment, good service, good food, and a little fall flavor. Sunday brunch: redeemed.

If you are in the Old Town Alexandria area, make sure you stop by x grab a drink x grab a snack baked freshly everyday!

They have free WiFi and phone booths (for members to take calls) for those who want to work/study there. There is a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating although it's not an overly large space. I loved that they had a community puzzle, but wished they had more than one bathroom. I ordered the Jasmine Zest Iced Latte (signature drink from their summer menu), Brazilian Cheese Bread (3 for $4.50), and Honey Goat Toast. Everything was delicious and flavorful! Items came out as they got prepared - cheese bread (at checkout), latte, then toast (estimated wait of 5 minutes). I lucked out with the cheese bread. The customer in front of me got the rest of the last batch and I got everything of the new batch that came piping hot out of the oven! The texture was different from other cheese breads where it was a thin bread exterior and a mochi-like cheese filling. I appreciated actually being able to taste the jasmine and lemon in the latte as well as the lavender on the toast. I wouldn't mind coming back to try more items on their menu. I wouldn't mind coming definitely reorder the cheese bread!

I ordered a decaf pistachio coffee paired with the pistachio baklava, and both were absolutely heavenly. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the baklava was fresh, perfectly sweet, and a wonderful complement to the drink. The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food and coffee. It was a beautiful, relaxing space to sit and chat, while others comfortably enjoyed their drinks as they worked on their laptops. We also loved exploring the art gallery on the lower level, which added a unique charm and made the visit feel like more than just a stop for coffee.

Nice! Overall, if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee that is not a chain coffee then this is an excellent option for you especially if you are in the area. The other key thing to note is this shop opens at 6 AM Monday through Friday so if you're an early riser like I am, keep that in mind.
