Conveniently located literally steps from the Arlington T stop, and next to carbon health! Stopped by here to get a little treat after going to the doctor. It was pretty busy, but they have the process ironed out. The staff was very friendly and kind. I got the pistachio cherry tart, and the chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was SO good! I liked it better than the cookies from flour if I'm being honest. The tart was ok. It could have used more cherry, and was pretty dry. I didn't love it or hate it, but I wouldn't get it again. I'll go back to get treats again- I don't care much for their coffee (their food is better imo). One thing to note that it is a bit pricey. The tart was $7.50, which I thought was a bit steep. And the cookie was $4.25. It's a big cookie but still, that's pretty pricey. It's a great spot to go to with friends, but it's a bit loud/busy for remote work.
What a cute cafe and delicious coffee! Was visiting Boston for a quick trip from Portland. A friend used to live in the area and highly recommended we visit Tatte. I'm so glad we did! The place was packed but we were easily able to order a latte and breakfast sandwich at the counter and sat at a communal table. I will definitely come back if we're ever in the area!
Nice cafe. Lots of seating. Inviting modernized industrial looking space with spacious very tall ceilings. Ordering is easy. They have a good selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. My niece got a smoked salmon avocado sandwich and I got the sausage egg sandwich. I was very satisfied with my sandwich. It had a good amount of scrambled egg and the sausage was topped with melted Swiss cheese and there was a full thick slice of tomato. It was very tasty. I also got the pistachio latte which had actual bits of pistachio which was a good different. My niece and I sat comfortably while eating and got caught up in conversation. She loves going here and she's tried a lot of the food items and says it's always good. Prices were reasonable.
I came here around 11am on a weekday and it was PACKED. They have small tables so it's hard to fit more than 2 people who all have a meal in them. We got the tuna sandwich, chicken pita, and chicken salad sandwich. To drink we got an iced green tea, a hot coffee, and a matcha latte. The food was great! I really like the flavors in everything and it all tasted fresh. The drinks, however, were awful. The green tea tasted heavily floral and gross... The matcha barely had any flavor. I could see myself coming back here but just for the food, I would just get a water next time for drinks. Pretty expensive as well.
I came here for coffee one morning and knew that I had to come back again to try their baked goods and breakfast. The interior of the cafe is spacious with plenty of seating and free wifi. Perfect spot to grab lunch with a friend or get some work done. Service here is stellar. I got their house latte (with cardamom syrup) the first time I went and although I thought it was a bit sweet for my liking, my friend loved it. The second time I went, we got their sparkling matcha lemonade, a cappuccino, an almond croissant, and their lamb shakshuka. I was a fan of both drinks but my friend wished their matcha lemonade was a bit sweeter (it all comes down to personal preference haha). But! Their almond croissant was so well done, and their lamb shakshuka was so flavorful, filling, and a great way to start the day. I can totally see why this spot is so busy and I would love to come again.
This location of Tatte Bakery and Cafe was just around the corner from my hotel stay in Boston and it was the ideal spot for a morning breakfast/brunch. I visited here on a Sunday morning and got lucky that I got there before it started to get busy. Got a table with my family and the staff here were incredibly friendly and recommended us some of the popular things they sold. A family member of mine had the pain au chocolat with a mixed berry tart and a pear juice. I had a homestyle breakfast, with scrambled eggs, sourdough toast, bacon, and potato fritters. The homestyle breakfast was extremely filling yet light and tasty. This was a lovely place to eat at and there was so many people coming in and it seemed like such a nice place for families as well.
Tatte Bakery has really good service and a beautiful menu, but the ordering process can feel a bit chaotic. You have to place your order first and then try to find a seat, which can be tricky during busy times. That said, the food and drinks make it worth it -- I had the pistachio latte and it was absolutely amazing. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Once you're settled, it's a great place to enjoy a treat!
Would definitely say going to Tatte is part of the quintessential Boston experience at this point. Tatte is the place to be if you want some insta-worthy pastries and drinks. Their pastries & cakes are definitely their strong suit. Today's Sour Cherry Black Forest Cake was absolutely delicious. I loved the strong dark chocolate notes paired with sour cherry to cut the sweetness. I think their drinks could be way better (my pistachio latte didn't even taste of pistachio) and they're rather overpriced for their quality. There are definitely better cafes out there, but if you're looking for aesthetics or a cozy spot to chat with friends, Tatte is always a solid choice.
This was on my top must try, and it didn't disappoint. They have several locations, but this location was right by our hotel which was perfect! The customer service was great, lots of seating in doors and outside and the breakfast meals and coffee was just as good as I was hoping for. Let's say we tried Tatte two days in a row. The location in Newbury is more crowded due to it appearing smaller and less seats. When I come back to Boston, I'll definitely be trying more on their menu!
This place is super cute, the aesthetics are definitely there! We came for breakfast, and even though the line was long, it moved fast. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and the food gets brought to your table. I had the shakshuka, and wow, it was huge! Perfect for 2 to share. The presentation was beautiful, and the bread was generous, perfectly toasted, and went so well with the tomato sauce. Absolutely delicious! The guy who brought out the shakshuka had that classic Boston/East Coast accent, which was so iconic for me to hear, he seemed funny too! And the brunette with curly hair who brought our drinks and to-go box was so sweet and friendly. I also got an iced latte, and it was really good. My only tiny regret was that we had to rush a bit to make it to the Swan Boats nearby when they opened, otherwise I would've loved to have stayed longer and gotten a pastry. Love that they have other locations around the city. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Boston!
We are from California visiting Boston for the weekend, and this was the best little café that we could have ever found. The best thing about this café, is that they're located in various places around the Boston area. The vibes are great, once you walk inside, there's a lot of people doing work on laptops, it's like a modern Starbucks vibe. Seat is very limited, so if you go during peak hours, all I have to say is good luck finding a seat. We eventually did find seats, while we are waiting for our show to start in the theater down the street. We got two coffees and two pastries. And all I have to say is that these pastries did not disappoint at all. Neither did the coffee. Definitely recommend this place. If you're looking for a quick stop coffee shop. Or if you're just looking for a bit with a cup of coffee.
Great food and coffee!! Got the traditional shakshuka - loved the flavors and really liked the cheese on top. Perfect balance of tang and spices. Nice ambience - can get very busy over the weekend. Quick service and friendly staff. Their latte was great. They have lots of pastries that looked really good too
I've been to multiple Tatte Bakery & Cafe locations and every single one has been cozy, inviting, and full of charm! We got the short rib grilled cheese which was delicious! Their housemade challah really hit the spot. It was just so light and crunchy. Also had the Chicken Pita which was beyond what I expected. Every bite was flavorful, balanced, and it was not heavy at all. Every single ingredient in there was just lovely and the bread itself was something I could definitely eat all day! Also had their red lentil soup paired with bread and wow! Just wow! It was a cold day and I just wanted soup but this soup really hit the park. It was creamy, velvety, and packed with spices that just made it so comforting on a cold day. We came back another time just for this soup! Definitely a great place for anytime of the day.

I love all the bakery options and breakfast/lunch offerings at Tatte. Service is always prompt, the place is clean, and food is delicious. We got the overnight oats with roasted peaches and raspberries which was such an elevated version of this healthy dish. The house breakfast plate has all the expectations of a breakfast plate, but the sourdough bread was so soft, the bacon crispy, the scrambled eggs fluffy, and the potato fritters salty and crunchy. Both were much fancier than I can make but still very healthy and familiar. We did have to indulge in a pastry though. The Kouign Amann is relatively low cal, buttery, flaky pastry that wasn't too sweet and made a perfect addition to the meal. Coffee was great. They also have little cups and a water dispenser for hydration. Bathrooms were clean. It became a lot more crowded by 9, so come early if possible. We swung back by in the afternoon to pickup some Jerusalem bagels to go, and it was still full even in the evening. Those were well received as well. The food is amazing and the prices are very reasonable for a quick, healthy, elegant breakfast spot. read more
This Tatte location in Back Bay was the least welcoming I've visited so far. The central location means a longer wait, and it was tough to find a seat inside. Ended up seating outside (while a girl at the closest table was attacked by a bee). Service could also use some work- they forgot to give me one of my bakery items right away, and I assumed it would come out with my coffee, but it never did. I had to go back to the counter to ask for it. Food was a bit of a miss too. The overnight oats had some unripe peach slices that were hard and unpleasant to eat. I also wasn't offered to have my cinnamon swirl warmed up, which other Tatte locations normally do without me even asking. I'll be avoiding this location going forward. read more
Beautiful and cozy bakery cafe with a great atmosphere The cold brew was definitely the highlight -- smooth, naturally sweet, and really enjoyable. We liked it enough to buy a bag of their coffee beans to take home The croissant was also very good, while the latte was just average The signature Shakshuka was a big disappointment. It was extremely salty and tasted mostly like tomato pasta sauce with toasted bread, without anything particularly memorable I'd come back for the coffee and pastries, but would skip the Shakshuka read more

"I want to get back to my city by the bay" (Journey) Two days ago, we enjoyed our first visit to a Tatte Bakery so much that today we went to a different Tatte for breakfast. The location may have been different, but every other aspect of our visit was as excellent as our first encounter. The Back Bay neighborhood is a densely populated section of Boston crammed with residential, retail, and office buildings. Tatte was crowded- the ordering line never slowed down, and from our table we saw it expand toward the front door and never subside. The shop seemed a little larger than the one we visited on July 26th, but it was just as busy with plenty of worker bees filling drink and food orders, a steady stream of customers, a crowded dining room, and plenty of amazing food in the showcase and on the counter as we inched our way to the ordering station. Their menu and showcases were pretty much the same with breakfast/brunch orders, sandwiches, soups, shakshuka egg plates, bowls, pastries, brownies, cookies, cakes, desserts, breads, and 55 choices in the drip coffee, espresso, iced espresso, hot and iced tea, lattes, milk, juice, and sparkling drink families of beverages. We ordered a gorgeous Pistachio Croissant "Filled with house made pistachio filling, brushed with simple syrup, and topped with crumbled pistachio" and a Jerusalem Bagel (traditional soft, sweet Israeli pastry dipped in simple syrup and coated in sesame). Having visited two different Tattes within three days, we concluded that they are a fantastic and very affordable place. read more

So I was really surprised at how well this bakery is run, yet it retains a great amount of small business family like feel. Very cozy as I had breakfast on a chill morning journaling through Gods word. The coffee (black), had a nice flavor, as it should. The egg sandwich took all the attention though, like a great book, I couldn't put it down. The bread (challah roll) was the most perfect piece of bread and they paired it with this fantastic cheese (halloumi). It was somewhat epic. See photo and menu pics and try this place out. Also, they had calorie counts! Respect that. read more
I have always enjoyed eating at Tatte in DC so thought it would be a nice experience at this location in Boston. I enjoyed a hot plate of shaksuka and I like how a hot plate was provided for the cherry sour cheese pastry. Other than that, there are some things to note that I hope the establish will address in the near future. Seating is first come first serve, but the more concerning issue is that the staff insist you have to stand in line to order. I had a sprained ankle with a structured brace, this expectation is not accommodating to people with injuries or disabilities, it is not inclusive for people who cannot stand in line for a long time. I would have hoped that a waiter can at least help, but she said you must order in line and then get a table. Additionally, I was not happy to see the lack of bussing or cleaning of tables. Staff did not clean the tables consistently by the window, so I arrived to a seat and table with so many crumbs. I am only so frustrated because this location does not uphold to Tatte's fine dining experience, instead it was over cramped, somewhat stressful with orders being yelled out instead of provided to patrons, and overall cutting corners despite coming up as a expensive pastry shop. read more

Tatte is a chain bakery that started in Boston. This location is near the Arlington Green Line T stop. The ambiance is similar to other Tatte locations. It's good for groups of 2-3 and for getting work done. We got the pistachio croissant, almond croissant, and almond cherry scone. They were all kinda dry and also the barista shoved them in the box even though they didn't fit. Also, nothing was warmed. read more
Tatte is an northeast chain. We loved them in DC for quick, delicious, not bank breaking breakfasts. I was happy to see one just a few minutes away from our hotel. We actually did breakfast here two days in this trip. My boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich both times, he was a big fan of it. I did an egg plate with fritters and eggs one time and breakfast sandwich the other time. Both were good. They do a good job on their scrambled eggs. They have a large community table as well as other tables and a snack bar overlooking the street. On nice weather days, take advantage of their patio. Hope to see a Tatte on my next trip out here. read more

They don't have a Tatte where I live and fortunately there wasn't one far from my hotel. Grabbed a Pineapple Passion Fruit Matcha Bombe from the bakery and took it back to the hotel. Texture was great. Flavor was OK. I was hoping more passion fruit heavy than pineapple. Sweet + tart would have given it better contrast. The Lemon Blueberry Pavlova is still the winner. read more

This place popped up when looking for spots in Boston, and I decided to check it out, when we got there it was very hard to find sitting inside and outside. We did the line and order, the staff was friendly when I asked a few questions, I order a chocolate croissant and hot chocolate and my friend a hot mocha and a pistachio pastry. our drinks came out around 10-15 min. when drinking the hot chocolate i personally did not like my hot chocolate much I found it flavorless and I had tried many other shops that had better hot chocolate so I was a bit disappointed, specially from all the reviews I saw. On another note our pastries were super good I can't complain, I tried both and they were delicious. I'll definitely give it a second chance if I'm there but it wasn't up to expectations. read more

I heard a lot of good reviews about Tatte, and it did not disappoint! I just got their black drip coffee (so smooth!) because I was in a rush, but I'll definitely be back to try some of their beautiful pastries. The space is also the perfect vibe for studying :) read more

Lovely cafe in the Beacon area. There was a line but it moves fast. There are various pastries, drinks, and meals to choose from. All the employees were super nice and helpful. I got some recommendations from the cashier. I ended up trying a sesame cake, cookie, and mint peach refresher. Everything was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend for a little bevvie snack moment. read more

This establishment is likely the largest Tatte in Massachusetts. Due to it being in the center of downtown Boston, right on the outskirts of Chinatown and next to the commons, it's always really crowded here. As a result, there is often little seating, and it's generally pretty noisy. As far as I remember, there is a greater variety of sweets at this location than their Cambridge one. Your best bet is to order a coffee or pastry and take it to the Public Garden nearby. read more
I went here on a recent trip to Boston and loved it. It was super hot and I needed a break/lunch and stopped in. It's a cute little cafe and they have an extensive menu and desserts to choose from. I had the farro salad and added chicken. It was great! It was cold, fresh, and herbaceous. Perfect for a hot summer day. I also bought a few packaged cookies for souvenirs. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean too. read more
