    Can’t go wrong with the food and coffee here! Everything tastes fresh and amazing, highly recommend. Only caveat is if Tatte is packed it takes away from the experience…definitely try and go during a less busy time or order ahead of time

    I absolutely love the vibes you get from walking into a coffee shop and catching up with a friend. It’s like you’ve been teleported into the Room of Requirement where THE checklist is checked. The checklist being, MY checklist for coffee shops: 1. Yummy caffeinated drinks 2. Tasty food I can eat while venting 3. Comfortable seating because we’re not going anywhere anytime soon 4. Tables where I can pull out my laptop and get the teeniest amount of work done in order to tell myself this whole vent session was productive 5. Clean bathrooms cause coffee always gets me going! Okay so we got: AVOCADO TARTINE My personal favorite every time I come to Tatte! It’s their house-made sourdough (their bakery is amazing) topped with mashed avocado, baby arugula, dill, radish slices and poached eggs. It comes with a multitude of different herbs, flavors and textures. Ugh, so freaking good could totally have this everyday! Every bite is perfection and it’s also pretty filling. I’m usually full after finishing this off with an iced latte. Delish! BREAKFAST SANDWICH For my chicken tenders and fries kinda girls. Eggs your style (over medium in this case), Vermont cheddar, and applewood smoked bacon on their house-made sourdough. It’s simple, but their fresh ingredients make this delicious! CHOCOLATE CROISSANT Like I said earlier, their bakery is amazing. I always split a chocolate croissant here with my sister because she always wants one of these bad boys. Their croissants are made with four Valrhona dark chocolate batons which are then rolled into their house-made flaky croissant dough. Every bite is so buttery, so flakey and deliciously chocolatey. You gotta have one of these, really takes the edge off the angry vent sessions! ICED PISTACHIO LATTE House-made pistachio syrup topped with espresso and milk. Sounds interesting enough? Love, absolutely love. Wish I could make this at home, but it still probably wouldn’t turn out as good. It’s like pistachios were brewed or steamed (however it works) right into the coffee beans. I’m telling you, if you’re a big pistachios fan like me you’ll love this! Tastes like real pistachios not the simple syrup fake kind. I also get this with oat milk because I am a lactose “sensitive” girly. Could drink this everyday. SMOKED SALMON & AVOCADO TARTINE This is my sister’s go to when we come here. It’s their house-made sourdough that gets toasted and topped with some delicious smoked salmon, chopped avocado, campari tomatoes, red onion, capers (my sister loathes capers so she opted not to get them) and dill tossed with olive oil and their special green herbed dressing. Every bite is so tasty and it’s sooo colorful making it even more satisfying to devour this. Very filling and hits the spot every time. If you haven’t already, you have GOT to check this busy bee place out! It’s cute to catch up here, great for studying with headphones, grabbing a quick bite to eat and it’s the perfect location for showing someone around Boston for the first time! Highly recommend!

    Tatte is a bakery near the heart of things. They have a large selection of freshly baked goods, including desserts, breads and treats. Their menu is pretty good sized for breakfast and brunch, and they have a good list of coffees as well. Inside they have a good amount of seating and outside there are a ton of seats. The food is bomb, French Toast is by far the best thing on their menu so don't miss out.

    For sure overrated. Food tastes below average (not amazing at all) compared to any random cafes in Europe. If this is the best cafe in Boston, the city should do better.

    Definitely recommend the Sweet French Toast! That was what stood out to me. The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced. Ordered the lamb meatball shakshuka as well, no complains nor excitement on that. Latte was great! Space was limited, but service was very fast. Loved the atmosphere too. Will definitely want to come back to try the vast array of pastries they have.

    Oh so yummy. I've been wanting to come here and finally put it on my list today. I feel like I've missed out on so many delicious lattes. So comfotabe with an easy vibe. It's a great spot to meet for coffees and share pastries. Cant wait to arrange meet ups here!

    We were in the city for 4 days and everyday we have breakfast there. The mocha coffee was delicious. We had sweet french toast, breakfast sandwiches, avocado sandwiches… everything was delicious. The places is always packed. The service is good and quick.

    Delicious bakery with outdoor sitting. They have a huge selection on their menu, and they have a small oven to reheat pastries if you want them warm. This is such a small thing but it makes a big difference. Coffee is also very good

    Came here every day while in the city. The pastries and food are amazing. I could eat the lamb hash every day, so good. Also ordered a vanilla latte every day. Always a line but moves pretty fast. Hard to find seating though during peak times.

    Trip to Boston, start off with breakfast here at tatte! The food was delicious. Pistachio croissant was recommended and it was delicious. More on the sweeter side if you like that. Had the lamb meatball shakshuka and the meatball + sauce + bread was soo good. Comes out in a skillet so it remains hot. Never had anything like this back in Philly. Love it. Also got an oat milk iced latte and a hot latte. Both good. Would come back for sure.

    We dipped in for a sandwich this morning and found this to a nice spot to take a break. It was super busy however our food came out quick. Plenty to choose from, both snacks, pastries and more hearty options. We enjoyed the outdoor seating option since the weather was cooperative.

    Great location , wonderful service and excellent selection of pastries. The strawberry turnover needs at lest 35 minutes in the oven, it was raw. The pears tart need more almond flavour .

    I understand the success of this place after spending the weekend in Boston. They have a variety of options from sweet to brunch & confort food. The coffee is also great as well as the teas. I read the story of how it was founded and even more impressive.

  • 5/5 Antwone W. 7 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Tatte is now officially my favourite cafe to go to when in Boston. They have a variety of delicious baked goods such as pastries and cookies along side a good selection of savoury lunch items. Tried the lamb shakshuka with bread and a breakfast sandwich. The shakshuka was absolutely amazing, true African favours stood out without over powering the dish (very authentic). Not to mention the breakfast sandwich which was delicious with smoky bacon. The customer service was 10/10 across the board, extremely helpful and patient. Only complaint is the seating is very hard to find but still a 10/10 experience from me. Would recommend to a friend!!!

  • 5/5 Revathy 1 year ago on Google
    I'm at a loss for words. Every single item was top notch. Be it their coffee, pastry, desserts or sandwiches, they simply nailed it. There is no way you can be disappointed here. For vegetarian options, we tried chickpea and fava beans, roasted cauliflower sandwich, pistachio croissant, fruit tart, espresso cake and coffee. It was simply amazing. You also get vegan options here. I can just go here everyday.

  • 4/5 Katie B. 1 year ago on Google
    After seeing these everywhere around Boston, we decided to try it for breakfast. Lots of options for everyone. Food was good, nothing out of this world. The latte was really good, ended up going the next day for another. Quick service even considering how busy it was.

  • 5/5 Laura A. 1 year ago on Google
    Tatte is always a good idea! We come here whenever we feel like having a delicious meal or just a cup of coffee or some dessert. Everything is amazing. I loved the house latte, sandwiches, Shakshuka, all the croissants and desserts. It’s hard to go wrong when you order something here. Totally recommended

    Tatte Bakery & Cafe is an absolute gem with an exceptional variety of fresh pastries and breakfast options that never disappoint. The atmosphere and friendly staff add to the overall charm of this cafe, making it a delightful destination.

  • 5/5 Loren J. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s adorable + the food was tasty and fresh! Was great for a girls breakfast out! Want to come back and try the pastries!

  • 4/5 Ian Anthony J. 4 months ago on Google
    Cute little pastry shop in downtown Boston. The hot chocolate is good! Nothing really much to say but if you like deserts, this place has good selections

  • 4/5 Julia V. 2 years ago on Google
    Tatte is a beautifully lit aesthetic!! The service was very speedy and they serve to your seat. The service to take orders could’ve been more polite and positive is the only negative aspect of the presentation of the store. Have yet to try the baked goods but the breakfast and coffee were delicious! Very fancy vibes and great food and drinks! all baked goods are freshly prepared in the back of the restaurant where you can view the bakers at work creating master pieces!! Highly recommended to try the scrambled eggs with prosciutto and the croissant breakfast sandwich!!

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 2 years ago on Google
    I came here for breakfast and ordered the spinach and goat cheese scrambled eggs. The goat cheese came in a scoop on top and I thought it would be mixed in but still delicious. The cooks in the open back kitchen are singing along to the radio. A great, friendly atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Lydia V. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! The cutest cafe with the best coffee and food! I ordered a croissant sandwich and a cappuccino, both of which were fresh and delicious. We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio soaking up the sunshine.

  • 4/5 Mason Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Tatte seems to have taken Boston by storm. Quite a crowded cafe but with very modern/upscale desserts. We had the raspberry cheesecake cup and blueberry pavlova, each at $7.25. quite pricey if you ask me. However they were nicely made and tasty. I just wish the cheesecake was a bit more solid and less creamy.

  • 5/5 Payal S. 2 years ago on Google
    Tatte is a very gorgeous bakery/cafe. They had a huge number of options in fresh baked goods. Hot chocolate and mocha coffee were great ! Fell in love with the interiors.♥️

  • 5/5 Laurie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious and so very easy… we enjoyed some coffee and breakfast. Many were getting breakfast to go. Nice spot!! Fresh and yummy baked goods❤️

  • 5/5 Keara B. 1 year ago on Google
    This cute cafe has delicious food and a great atmosphere! I ordered the prosciutto and fried egg tartine and my mom ordered the mushroom and farro bowl. Both were fantastic (and nutricious)! They have good coffee and pastries as well. Highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Sujarit C. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped by for breakfast on Monday. We ordered multiple items; breakfast, bakery, juice, and coffee. After ordering, we received a number sign so they know which table to bring our foods. The first item that arrived was Tiramisu and a "day old" fruit box. Tiramisu was overly sauce but still good. Next, our coffee was served in paper cups instead of nice mugs so we don't see how nice the latte art was or see any crema top. Then, the breakfast arrived, it was a nice perfect two eggs English scramble lay on top of burned toasted sourdough bread which we washed down with a lovely fresh squeezed Orange Juice.

    Wonderful bakery, loads of breakfast, brunch choices. They have an espresso bar. You order at the counter, they will give you your tea or coffee and a number to display. Your food will be delivered to your table when ready. Stations with water, cream, sugar available.

  • 5/5 Josefin V. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice atmosphere. I love this bakery and I come back definitely. I had breakfast there. There is a huge choice. The Müsli was awesome and fresh. Thank you 🙏🏻

  • 5/5 Ed D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and service in a fun atmosphere. Will definitely be returning! We had the prosciutto and egg tartine and lamb kabob pita. Both were excellent!

  • 5/5 Sus P. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Some of the best lamb plates and Mediterranean food I have had. The pickled carrots were amazing. The baked goods and coffee were excellent as well.

  • 5/5 Raghav Hari K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place with great pastry selection and outdoor seating! One of their staff suggested the Palmier and it was sooo good! Breakfast menu and coffee selection is also very good. Didn't get to try their coffee though.

  • 5/5 Maike K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice. Not very much food considering the cost. But quite good. Crowded on that Sunday morning. That was an "egg spinache goat cheese plate" . I expected a tad more spinach.

  • 5/5 Jonathan 2 years ago on Google
    What an outstanding bakery. Some of the best coffee I have had. Breakfast sandwiches were so good. Staff was very nice and appropriate with the speed of service. Not slow but not rushed.
