    This is a fancy bakery chain in the DC area (think at least 5 locations?). The selection wasn't too extensive (kinda skimpy, in fact), but some of their pastries looked amazing! However, things took a quick dive in more ways than one. For starters, they were out of plates, so we got everything handed in To-Go boxes (though we were eating in). Then the tables were a mess! I guess you basically have to bus your own tables here? Also, the seating area just wasn't very comfy...with so many tables squeezed in together. Not sure why the layout is so awkward here! Still, the pastries that we tried were really, really good! The drinks were just OK. So...definitely a mixed bag of impressions. Based on the pastries, I would rate them 5 stars...but the rest of it was just really bad. Running out of dishes and cups (??), dirty tables, bad layout, weak service (not friendly at all!), etc.etc. I guess the management was a bit slack here?? In any case, I probably will stop in again to try their pastries again. Just hope things are better next time around.

    Met a friend for coffee midday on a Friday. Sat at the bar and had to ask when I realized no one was going to wait on me... went back up front and ordered coffee and a passion fruit pastry to eat there. Got a number and sat down. When my friend arrived, changed seats. Coffee came relatively fast but had to ask for the pastry. It came in a box- had to ask for a plate and utensil. Coffee delicious. Pastry very good. Service needs work. The place was pretty full. Toere is outdoor and indoor seating. I'd come back.

    Came to Washington DC for a whirlwind weekend visit. Had a little bit of time to kill before my flight home, so we wandered around this cute little area for a bit and then came here to Tatte for a light breakfast. Ambiance was really striking. You walk in and boom, you're smacked with the wonderful smell of baked bread and pastries. You're forced to walk by dozens and dozens of delicious options as you wait in line to order. I got some coffee drink. I don't remember which, but it was iced, and it was pretty good. I ordered a couple of pastries, namely Chocolate Croissant (Four Valrhona dark chocolate batons rolled into Tatte flaky croissant dough) and a Dark Chocolate Muffin (Rich chocolate muffin made with 62% Dark Valrhona chocolate and roasted beets). The croissant was excellent. Very, Very flakey. You will not be able to avoid getting flakes everywhere. But the buttery pastry is actually very flavorful and isn't just the boring part of the pastry, like other American versions of a pain au chocolat. The chocolate here is the 50/50 star of the show. Very well done. The real treat here was the muffin, though. Dark on dark on dark chocolate. The only real source of sweetness was the beets. Very subdued, but sweet enough to be a sweet. Just so elegant. I was a big fan. Overall, I'm very happy with Tatte, and I hope they bring one to Orlando. We sure could use a place like this.

    Tatte never fails to disappoint! The customer service is always so friendly and welcoming, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful. It's such a cozy, aesthetically pleasing spot to relax, grab coffee, or enjoy a meal. Everything always feels fresh and thoughtfully made. I genuinely love coming here every time!

    I had almost dismissed Tatte entirely after an underwhelming experience at the Georgetown location, but it was raining and the group decided to go here. I'm glad I gave the chain another chance because the Clarendon location did much better. We got the Halloumi Salad and Corn and Spinach Shakshuka. I enjoyed both dishes. They had good flavor and used fresh ingredients. I just wish the portion sizes were bigger for the price. The dinner roll that came with the salad and the brioche that came with the the shakshuka were delicious. I also tried a little of my friend's labneh and lamb shakshuka and I highly recommend it. The flavors and spices were spot on and much better than other shakshuka I had in the area which just tasted like canned tomatoes with an egg in it. Their Havla latte also tasted nice. Strong cardamom and spice flavor. The space was nice and modern with bright white walls and high ceilings. Be warned it got loud and echoey inside. I do think their to go system could use improvement. The space is too big. We sat down to wait and could not hear them calling our names. Had to continuously check back. Wish they gave buzzers instead of forcing customers to wait at the counter.

    I have heard so many good things about Tatte Bakery. I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm with my friend and it was incredibly busy. Almost every single table was full, so we sat around one of the small bars where they were making drinks. The staff were very busy, but I was slightly expecting to have some form of a greeting but we did not. To order, you have to go up to the counter and I will say there was a long line and only one person taking orders so it did take a good fifteen minutes to order, which felt very long as I was in the third person in line when I went up. They have a good amount on the menu that all sound very delicious. I like how the prices and portions range. I got the smoked salmon and avocado and it was a good size. I liked the green herb dressing, but i almost feel it would be better on toast or just not on that particular bread/with a bun, as it was kind of difficult to eat. The sandwich was falling apart and the egg was a little bland and cold. For a drink, I got the iced mocha, and to be incredibly frank, I could not take more than a few sips. It tasted as if I was drinking straight mocha power, kind of reminded me of making hot chocolate and drinking the powder if you did not mix it enough. I tried mixing it, and even adding half and half and honestly nothing was making it taste better unfortunately. I thought about trying something else instead, but due to the line, I did not have the time. I want to come back, and try a different coffee. This would be a great place to do work. The inside is very pretty, and the pastries look fabulous.

    Aside from some sticky surfaces, the pastries and coffee/tea is pretty reasonable. Really loved the seating arrangement and light able to come through the place! Makes it a great spot to grab a quick drink/bite or get work done. The chocolate mousse is very dense and not overly sweet, making it the perfect companion to any savory item or a drink. Appreciated the free cold water!

    Love working from here, though it is usually quite busy so if you're looking for a quiet work spot this probably isn't it. All the drinks have been really good! I've tried the house latte, ginger date latte, sesame latte and matcha latte. They are all on the sweeter side though The oatmeal was really good and the pastries and desserts always look tempting (the ones I've tried have hit the spot)

    This location is beautiful but as a self proclaimed coffee snob the coffee leaves much to be desired the seasonal drinks aren't good and there's nothing special about the coffee. I wanted good coffee and this place didn't deliver. I would come back for brunch or pastries but as far as coffee no! There's nothing more frustrating then when a coffee shop can't deliver blah not memorable don't recommend

    Tatte is a bright and open space to have a coffee and a snack. The location was bigger then I expected with a range of tables, including outside covered seating. There would be even more tables available but the time I visited, many customers had seemingly not bussed their tables and no one else had cleared them so there were multiple tables covered in dirty dishes. Once I found a spot, I enjoyed a tasty almond croissant with a great crunchy to coating of sugared sliced almonds. The iced mocha was a little disappointing. It was more bitter than usual and I didn't really taste any chocolate. I probably would not order that again.

    Such an amazing bakery!! I love the ambiance here, it's super open and airy, lots of seating, and it's very bright. I got a ham and cheese croissant which was so delicious! I'm a really big fan of dijon mustard with the ham combo. I also got a pistachio croissant and the pistachio filling was also really good, but wish there was more cream. It wasn't too sweet either and it had a good balance with the croissant. The croissants are also so flaky! Lastly, I got an iced pistachio latte and it was so yum!! It had real fine bits of pistachio at the bottom which I enjoyed, but it might not be for everyone cause I could see how it can be chunky.

    Platter
    AJ C.

    Came on a Sunday morning and it was packed! Though able to snag counter seating. Everything is a little disorganized and chaotic here - a little unsure about where to line up, who's taking my pastry vs coffee vs cooked foods order, unclear whether this is a self-bussing place or if we leave our plates when we are finished. An employee took our number card before we had received food and we were fortunate that the person who had our order was walking around shouting our names. Breakfast platter was pretty tasty! Although the coffee was a let down and not one to write home about. This might be a decent place to stop by on a walk downtown, though there may be other options nearby that have a better system in place to avoid some headache.

Not so much now. Now it is good but not exceptional like in the past. Their pastries are getting smaller and the prices have gone up. There is also inconsistencies in quality, with some items being slightly overcooked. Napoleons - these are about half the previous size. Still very good though. Strawberry eclair - smaller than previous. Also, the shell is consistently overcooked now. Quiches - these are around a third of the previous size. Sometimes they are overcooked and dry. Also, the mixed veggie quiche is much smaller in depth to the spinach one Various danishes (cheese, apple, cherry, sticky buns) - all around a third of their previous size. Still great quality and tasty though Sfogliatella (Italian pastry) - surprisingly, these are larger than they used to be. These are not good anymore though. The filling tastes good, but it's a weird texture now that they make it larger. The pastry shell is really hard and chewy now that they are larger. These used to be the greatest ever. It's a shame. Cannoli - tried this for the first time today. Won't ever do that again. The shell was good and crispy. The filling was a weird color and had tiny chocolate chips in it. You could tell it was several days old because the chips were soggy. Also, they filled it when we ordered it - and they just put a tiny bit of filling in it so we could actually see through the shell. Not good.
