Dishes I've tried and would recommend: Chicken Pita, Turkey BLAT, Spiced Shrimp & Avocado Mousse Salad, Chickpea & Fava Plate, Lamb Meatball & Labneh Shakshuka, and Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich--there's so much I want to try but haven't yet!

A five-minute walk towards downtown from the Mayflower hotel made Tatte Bakery an ideal spot for breakfast. It also has nice views of Farragut Square. I went with the House Full breakfast that included Applewood bacon, eggs, potato fritters with tomato jam and mint parmasean, and house made sourdough. I was curious to try one of their best sellers - monkey bread, and it didn't disapoint. A solid breakfast with on point service before catching the metro to Virginia. I really enjoyed my visit here and would return in a heartbeat.

My omelet had very little flavor, but the texture of the eggs was very good.

I also ordered the strawberry brioche babka- it was light and fluffy, with a very, very mild flavor. I wish it would have been a little sweeter. The service seemed understaffed, which was surprising for a Saturday brunch. Friendly enough, but a little slow, and didn't check back after delivering food until we asked for the ticket.

This time we had our baby and I wasn't impressed with the lack of sides or anything to get for her. We asked for two eggs scrambled with cheese but were told we'd have to buy an egg prosciutto sandwich for $11 and tell them we didn't want any of the items. Um, no. The tuna sandwich asked for lettuce and told can't add lettuce. My husband asked for something not on his lamb pita, same story. Oh well. No customization at all, no subs. Makes business easier, but not as attractive for price point for customers. I'll remember to keep it to coffee and pastries from now on. Chicken pita was good, a bit heavy on the parsley but loved the dressing. Tuna sandwich was a hit. Pastries are always good. My pistachio latte was chewy bc it had grainy bits of pistachio in it. Not to my liking. $70 for three sandwiches, two coffees and two cookies.

One of…read morethe most interesting aspects of the restaurant is how you can't possibly put a finger on the origin of the fare. We asked our friendly waiter, and they stated the chef was from Spain, but they had schnitzel on the menu right next to lamb meatballs, and octopus. It was middle-eastern, Mediterranean, American, and anything else you could imagine. Also, amazingly, the menu was small, and, in my opinion, this is the mark of a great restaurant. Give me a menu where I want EVERYTHING on the menu. Make me regret filling up on the spectacular lamb shank and not have any room left for the 3 things I couldn't possibly try without returning. We had an amazing time. The bar is lively and, if you're dining in the "outside" portion, do not fear the cold. The patio is encapsulated in glass and the heat lamps are turbo-charged. It's difficult to stand out for amazing food in Dupont Circle, with the literally dozens of top-notch choices, and constant emergence of new possibilities. Go to Residents.

We did the Za'atar Gruyère Croissant, chocolate croissant, the cheese biscuit item they had (don't remember exact name) and the sfogliatelle. 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!
