    Yum! I wish I could leave it at that, everything was delicious. I loved that Tatte was within walking distance of the hotel. The bakery case was full of same day cakes, bread, lemon tastes, donuts, puff pastry, granola dnd so much more. I started with avocado toast and chai to control my need to overeat pastries, but when on vacation, eat the scratch made treats! The donuts were so fluffy and fresh, overfilled with greasy cream loved every bite. Oh and the staff were so friendly.

    If you're looking for a café that feels like you've stepped off a cobblestone street somewhere in Europe, this is the spot. The moment I walked in, I got those cozy, old-world vibes--warm lighting, a relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. The coffee? Excellent. Smooth, rich, and clearly made by people who care about their craft. Their pastry case is dangerous in the best way, and I tried the pistachio croissant on this visit. It wasn't bad at all--light, flaky, and just the right touch of sweetness. It's also a great space for lunch. Plenty of room, calm energy, and a perfect place to unwind, catch up with a friend, or get a little work done. Overall, great spot that brings a taste of Europe right into the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back!

    Absolutely incredible ! The best selection of baked goods and a great place to have lunch before heading out to airport. I had to try the chicken salad sandwich it was amazing and their iced tea selection is just as good

    Take me to Tatte!! First discovered Tatte Bakery & Cafe in Boston. One of my favorites for breakfast in the northeast. Pastry chef Tzurit Or initially started Tatte Bakery & Café in 2007 bringing home baked treats to sell at local Boston farmers' markets. After just one summer, Tatte opened its first brick-and-mortar bakery in Brookline. Love how comfortable each location feels despite being so popular. Wish there was one in Houston. Grab a menu and a table, not necessarily in that order. Order a breakfast (served all day), a weekend brunch or shakshuka. The Meze Breakfast was a great brunch spread. Two eggs with small sides of house made cashew pepper spread, feta & pistachio spread, roasted shishito pepper, dukkah and a chopped salad. Served with a fresh sesame Jerusalem bagel. Perfect way to start the weekend. Like shakshuka? Try a Traditional, Corn and Spinach or Lamb Meatball. Note, this is not your grandmother's shakshuka. The Corn and Spinach Shakshuka was so good. It's my favorite! Creamy corn sauce with baby spinach and poached eggs topped with heirloom cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, zhoug, Aleppo chili oil, and parsley. Served with a spoon and slices of sourdough to soak up that delicious sauce. Definitely get this one. The Lamb Meatball & Labneh Shakshuka was gobbled up by my husband. A tomato and bell pepper base with poached eggs, lamb meatballs, and peppadew peppers topped with spicy labneh and parsley. Served with a house made challah bread to start off your Saturday the right way. Service was great even though they were quite busy on a sunny summer Saturday in July.

    This Tatte location is just a 12-minute walk from the Amtrak Union Station, making it a great option to grab a bite after a long train ride. I did just that and got three things: a matcha latte, a raspberry yogurt meringue cookie, and the roasted salmon winter vegetable bowl, which altogether was $28. I actually wish I could have tried their seasonal pumpkin latte but they were out, so I panicked and ordered the matcha lol. I didn't know until after I had ordered that they also had a seasonal pistachio latte, I wish I had ordered that instead because I thought the matcha latte was just okay. It was pretty smooth matcha but not sweet enough for me. I used to be a meringue hater until I had actually good meringue that is crispy and melts in your mouth, so I was excited to try their raspberry meringue cookie thing but it wasn't quite the texture I imagined it would be. Well it also has yogurt in it so maybe that's why the texture was not like your typical meringue. It was low key making me a meringue hater again lol Okay I know so far it seems like I didn't really enjoy Tatte that much, but the roasted salmon bowl was excellent! Right when they bring it out to you, you are met with incredible aromas from the dish. The salmon is perfectly cooked and is slightly crispy on the top. At first I was worried about the low salmon to rice ratio, but it ended up not being a problem because the rice is well seasoned. I probably honestly could have very well enjoyed just the rice even without the salmon, that's how good the rice tasted! I didn't get it this time, but I know their pistachio croissant is good here. Overall I like Tatte, great service and great vibes. I'm still sitting in here to write this review lol, I mean I look around and there are several others who are also working here on their laptops. Two restrooms at the front of the restaurant behind the counter where you order your food. Bonus points to this location for playing Kina Grannis' song "In Your Arms" wow what a throwback!!!

    Lamb Meatball & Labneh Shakshuka
    Ben D.

    Another great Tatte in area the macha and lamb shakshouka are my go tos they have so much on menu and service is usually very nice and fast. Matcha is nice and rich with milk but bitterness of the mach balances it out giving it depth. The lamb shakshouka was nice and savory with a tomato sauce and eggs. The lamb was nice and tender with good seasoning. It is a classic coffee breakfast place inside with pastries and a ton of different drinks.

    Traditional Shakshuka
    Amy Y.

    The drinks here are delicious and so are the breakfast items. We went here twice during our short weekend trip to DC. First time we got the lamb hash and I normally do not like lamb, 10/10. Second time we got the traditional shakshuka also a 10/10. Whoever recommended the fig lemonade in the below comments, may your pillow always be cold. It was delicious! The coffee here was solid too and my kids enjoyed the Nutella and short bread cookies. Omg I just found out they are opening a location in Morristown NJ. Yes!!!!!

    Love this spot, it is a must on any trip to DC. Fresh salads and lunch options, and delectable desserts.

    A spacious cafe with nice selections of bread and pastries. Their food options are really nice also. It is quite popular and busy, but the service was nice. There are counter seatings along the window, a large communal style table, and 2 tops. All the seatings don't give you much space in between, but I was there with my daughter and we went there for brunch before heading to museums so it was okay for us.

    Is this a  Lamb Meatball & Labneh Shakshuka? I don't think so.....
    Ana Cristina B.

    HORRIBLE SERVICE. If I could give it 0 stars I would... I am Amazed by how bad service was. I ordered a Lamb Meatball shakshuka with eggs well done. They sent shakshuka with soft eggs, which specifically requested not to do because I'm pregnant and cannot eat eggs like that. They took my plate, 20 minutes later they send the wrong order... I go back again and then they just give me the previous order they kept in the kitchen for 20 minutes, cold and just threw 2 eggs on top and gave it back to me like saying "don't bother" as if they were making me a favor... I am the client, I paid for my food and the least they could do was to provide the food requested and at least provide a good service. It was a horrible experience and what saddens me the most is that Tatte was my favorite restaurant... not anymore.

    Tatte Bakery & Cafe has simple but beautiful interior. The breads, pastries, and cakes are displayed in an organized way, allowing customers to have a clear view of the selection. I got the plain, chocolate, and pistachio croissants, kouign-amann, and iced ginger-date oat milk latte. The pastries tasted good. They had good flakiness and were buttery. My drink had strong ginger taste than date. It was not bad. The bakery gets crowded and busy fast. I would come back here again.

    James R.

    The Tatte bakery is spacious and has an upscale vibe. It's a great place for a quick coffee. I ordered the flat white and it was nicely prepared and smooth. There are also a variety of baked goods. Service was fast and they bring the coffee pastries to you. This location is newer.

    Leek, Potato & Spinach Quiche & Salad
    Christy P.

    We came here for a late lunch on our last day in DC, and it was one of the more memorable meals in the city. The best item, by far, was the preserved fig lemon mint soda. It was so good, we went back for a second drink. Refreshing and super flavorful! For food, they were sold out of the turkey avocado, so we ordered the chicken pita and the leek / potato / spinach quiche. I've never had a quiche quite like this before...it was full of veggies and had minimal egg, but it was really enjoyable. The chicken pita was really great too, and I'm glad we tried it. The low points were the black sesame latte -- too minimal on the black sesame flavor. And the desserts we tried -- pistachio cherry tart and a passion fruit krembo -- were dry and just not impressive, respectively. However, the menu is vast, reasonably priced for DC, and they have multiple locations, so I'd definitely come back.

    Are there outlets here to plug in phones/laptops?

    I don’t think so i only saw people on their laptops inside.

    How wheelchairs accessible is your business is it ADA compliance?

    not accessible. they only offer stairs. you could sit outside on a nice day and have a friend go in and order for you but that's not making their business accessible.

    Is it wheelchair accessible?

    They are wheelchair accessible! They aren't street level but there is a lift there.

I'm in search of the best croissant in DC, so I regret not getting the regular croissant on this visit, but the chocolate croissant gave me an idea of what to expect. Buttery, flaky, crispy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The typical chocolate croissant was my personal favorite. When we asked what the most popular items were, we were surprised it wasn't the more classic bakery items, but we enjoyed what we tried. We want to go back soon to try some other items as well. My friend got a coffee and also enjoyed that! This is the perfect place to stop by for a treat if you make it in time!

The interior is small but cozy- there's also some seats/tables outside. I ordered the savory scone and a chocolate croissant and they were both delicious.

The chocolate in the middle was the perfect amount and wasn't too sweet either. For drinks, their syrups are also made in the house too! I ordered the Chai and at first I asked for half the syrup because I'm not a fan of drinks that are too sweet, but the person who took my order assured me that it's not too sweet to begin with and she was right! The spices in the syrup were delicious Nice ambiance, friendly service, and delicious baked goods! Overall, one of my favorite bakeries I've ever been to.

In our typical tradition, we cut everything into fourths and the whole family tries every pastry (everyone wins... ;). We thoroughly enjoyed both the savory and sweet (chocolate) options. I could see how this would be an acquired taste for some. I loved being able to peak into the kitchen to see the big oven and where all the magic happens. I also appreciated their sweet neighborhood location and the big windows offering lots of natural light. Overall, a positive and tasty experience.

Unfortunately, the location in DC has permanently closed and we were still very much in the mood for some pastries... my cousin who is French has previously sang the praises of this Lil French pastry shop, so of course I had to give it a try. I am so happy that I did because I truly believe that I have stumbled upon my new favorite pastry shop in the area! Upon walking in the smell of croissants and almonds and sweet, sweet delicacies filled my nostrils. I basically became the human version of Remy from ratatouille inhaling a delicious bouillabaisse simmering on the stove top for hours....seeing colors and flavors so bright and intoxicating I simply had to have it I walked in and my eyes were instantly attracted to so many delicious options from classics like Palmiers and Napoleons to some unique flavor combos I've never tried before combined like raspberry and pistachio. Of course, I decided to grab a little bit of everything to make an accurate assessment as a YELP Elite should!! My favorite hands-down was the Berry Millefuille. The way the pastry crumbled in my mouth with every bite, combined with the tart, fresh raspberries, and thick flavorful custard.... Was worth every penny. Honorable mentions go to the peach rosemary tart, which was so unique with the added botanical of rosemary with some fresh sweet peach slices on top and a very crunchy tart base. We all enjoyed everything we purchased! I also ordered one of their seasonal specialties, the rosemary latte with skim milk and iced. The flavors were so uniquely crafted to where you could taste everything but everything combined together for the perfect sip. The ladies who greeted us at the cash register were so patient, so kind, and so understanding of my excitement and difficulty deciding and they even helped me add on a little chocolate happy birthday rectangle to the pastry I purchased for my husband! Without a doubt, this is only the first of the many times I will visit the establishment. It was so authentic, so delicious and passed all the vibe checks even from the French side of the family. I was told I have to return when they first open to have a fresh croissant and a fresh baguette that is on par with what you would have in Paris. Even the items in the fridge were made in France and were delicious fruit nectars that were very unique- we purchased a passionfruit nectar that didn't even make it past the doors before we had completely inhaled it and purchased a lychee nectar for later. I am so excited to have learned about this establishment and believe me when I say you must run, not walk, to experience it for yourself.
