Lovely baked goods and pastries
Awesome cafe for brunch, coffee, doing work, etc. so much seating space. Pastries are delicious, I enjoyed the food more than the drinkscardamom latte - flavor was lacking a bit and too sweet.summer special iced matcha drink - it was good but also a bit too sweetShakshuka - delicious and decent portionEggs with sun dried tomato and goat cheese - the sourdough bread was amazing! Overall the dish was simple but very well executed
Small chain of bakery/cafes with breakfast foods and coffees. Got the mocha cold brew and a regular coffee in addition to the Halloumi sunny-side breakfast sandwich.The mocha was solid and not overly chocolately but the coffee was average. I recommend getting the breakfast sandwich; the bread was soft and the spinach + cheese block only added to the experience.
Love the food at all Tate’s. I like the vibe and energy of Tate’s at Harvard Square, I always stop by every time I m in the area. The place could get very busy during meal time result in long queue. Anyway like the people watching here. Food is good but staff aren’t the most friendly in the business. The price is on the expensive side. I had grilled cheese sandwich it was not just bread and cheese, it has some tomato base sauce to it, nice texture but a bit too salty for my liking. We also ordered Zucchini queech and salad. It taste good but not the typical queech which is eggy and cheesy.
I used to visit the Brookline location every week when I lived in Boston in the early 2000s, so was thrilled when I noticed a larger Tatte in Cambridge near where we're staying on this trip in 2022. Sadly, the new location doesn't exceed my memories. It's no longer a pastry shop, and now more of a restaurant. I'm excited about their success to achieve that, but the layout makes it very echo-y which makes it very loud and hard to hear your own conversations. On this trip we visited twice. Once I ordered a hallumi sandwich with the Tatte Latte iced, the other I ordered a pistachio croissant and oat milk latte hot. The hallumi was a bit bland and the rest of the sandwich was OK, the iced coffee very nice if you fancy something sweet! The pistachio croissant filling was lovely, but the pastry wasn't a croissant in the traditional sense - it's over baked and the pasty has gone hard and stiff, except for where the filling is. The filling is delish and that saved the pastry, but I wouldn't pick it again. The oat milk latte is nice as well, but seems a bit weak (probably because it's a 12oz so has a *lot* of milk compared to what I'm used to in the UK).4* because the decor looks nice (even if it's very echoey!), the coffee is good by American standards, the staff are friendly and there are plenty of options for different diets.
Tatte was a wonderful experience! You can taste the care for the products and processes in each bite. I would highly recommend to anyone. There is also an extensive gluten-free menu as well.
Very, very tasty. The pistachio cherry tart is out of this world. Also highly recommend the French toast with whipped goat cheese and fresh berries. Coffees and teas are great, too. And the salads are filling and the dressing is never too overwhelming, it's nice and light. Especially the tahini dressing. And the farro winter bowl is SO good; I'm not vegetarian and I generally prefer SOME meat with my meal, but I really don't miss it in this. Very filling. Kind of crowded and loud inside, but that happens at lunch time. Only negative is that they really need to revisit their prices for extra things. $3 to add a few bits of chicken breast to a salad? No, that's just insane.
Tatte’s famed name definitely lives up to its expectation. I always get their house latte because to be honest anything else wouldn’t be worth the price but the flavors of their house latte make it worth it. This location is usually pretty busy and hard to find a spot to sit down unless you come early or later in the day. It’s a pretty nice spot to get work done when you can find a spot though.
Great pastries, amazing coffee and one of the best breakfast places around the Boston area. Highly recommended!
Hot chocolate was amazing!
