Dear reader, Misha's…read moreon Prince Street offers the same excellent coffee and menu that people already know and love, but with a completely different atmosphere. The biggest advantage here is the amount of space. There is plenty of seating outside, throughout the main floor, upstairs, and even on the upstairs deck, making it very easy to find a comfortable place to settle in with a drink and stay awhile. The coffee was just as good as expected, and the coffee cake was excellent. The staff was also nice and efficient, keeping everything moving without making the experience feel rushed. The only thing that kept this visit from matching the King Street location was that the space felt a little neglected in comparison. The upstairs bar area, in particular, seemed deserted during our visit, and seeing what appeared to be an expired liquor license posted on the wall gave the impression that the space was once used in a greater capacity, but that's purely just speculation. Overall, it is still a lovely coffee shop with great drinks, plenty of room to spread out, and a relaxed atmosphere. I would happily return, especially when I am looking for a quieter place to enjoy my coffee.

After standing a couple minutes in what we thought was a line, she finally asked if we were ready to order (yes, we had been ready!). I ordered a lavender oat milk latte which somehow was made iced and she didn't seem happy to have to remake it. Very little conversation ensued with both counter people. Just was odd. We paid and went up to enjoy on the rooftop deck on a brisk morning. There were ants on the table and my chair so we moved to another table. Coffee was decent but that's the best we can say.

I ordered the Freddo Cappuccino and a cool slice of chocolate cake- their cake of the day! The cafe is somewhat comfortable and I think there are enough tables for about ten customers. There is a barstool section and also an elevated dining room area which is rather small. Interestingly, they also have a wheelchair lift for people with disabilities to get to that level and also the entrance door to the hotel. That being said, it seems like this cafe services a lot of people who stay at the hotel. The cake was delicious and Freddo Cappuccino was even better. I haven't seen that type of Cappuccino before, but I would encourage you to give it a try.

My husband enjoyed his hot caramel latte (soy milk)...he's a native New Yorker who hates Starbucks as a reference. My best friend got an iced salted caramel vanilla latte (almond milk)...she loved the taste. I had the sugar daddy (hot w/almond milk) and it was the perfect drink as I was cramping (think hot chocolate & coffee combined). The barista was patient with us even though there was a line. She answered all our questions and gave good recommendations. And of course did a great job making the coffee! The building looks small at first but there is a good amount of seating both inside and outside and looked great for solo stop ins or small groups/families. We'll definitely be back !

To begin, this place is super cute; everyone is beyond friendly; from drinks to food, I haven't had anything that I dont like there; a great place to come in to do some work and enjoy your crafted beverage. If you haven't ate, their beef paddy's are my goto! Before becoming pescatarian I used to get their beef patty with my nutella latte. (I need to try the veggie now) Today, I got an Iced Pistachio Matcha drink off their Spring Menu. It was amazing! If you are in the Old Town Alexandria area, make sure you stop by x grab a drink x grab a snack baked freshly everyday!

Delicate Hot Chocolate…read more I have long been an admirer of fine hot chocolate. Traditionally, I would visit Starbucks or a contemporary coffeehouse, only to receive what often felt like mocha syrup blended with steamed milk--pleasant, perhaps, but rarely memorable. This morning marked my first visit to Tatte Bakery & Café in Old Town Alexandria where the hot chocolate proved to be an unexpected delight. The associate explained that it was prepared with semisweet chocolate and warm milk. Intrigued, I ordered a small and chose to enjoy it outdoors. The price was refreshingly reasonable, while the bakery's bright interior and refined ambiance created an inviting first impression. My drink arrived within approximately five minutes, presented elegantly in a cup and saucer. The temperature was perfectly warm--comforting without being excessively hot--and the overall presentation was quietly sophisticated but has room for improvement. Then came the taste.... The texture was exceptionally silky and smooth, with no grainy residue, excessive sweetness, or bitter aftertaste. It was rich without being heavy and indulgent without becoming overwhelming. Even better, it left behind no awkward crown of foam. I have enjoyed hot chocolate in Sicily, where the experience was quite literally a cup of melted chocolate--decadent, dense, and almost dessert-like. Tatte's interpretation was more delicate and restrained, yet equally satisfying in its own way. Tatte has now earned first place in my personal ranking. There is, however, still an opportunity to elevate the service experience. A cloth napkin and small spoon presented alongside the drink would add a more polished touch, while a subtle soupçon of finely shaved chocolate would enhance both the visual presentation and the final sip. Overall, I award Tatte's hot chocolate an A-. I look forward to seeing whether it can achieve an even higher distinction upon my next visit.

Let's face it. I like Tatte a latte!…read more Beautiful pastry case, inviting treats, Parisian-style cafe. It's a bit inconvenient that you pay at the counter but pick up hot drinks at the bar.

I originally planned to order the matcha but quickly changed my mind and decided to try the Iced Lavender Mint Latte instead--and I'm so glad I did! I've never had lavender with matcha before, and we all know lavender can sometimes be very overpowering. However, the lavender and mint combination was just right! When you first take a sip, you get the lavender, and then the mint comes through on the back end. Neither flavor was doing too much; it was just enough, and I was very happy with the balance! I also ordered a donut, which I gave to my son, so I didn't get to try it. The service was just meh. I could tell the cashier was probably thinking in his head, "Lady, hurry up!" But the other two staff members were very friendly and generous, so that definitely helped. I absolutely love the spacious seating area inside, and they also have outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying your drink when the weather is nice. Overall, I'm giving this place an 8.5/10! I definitely recommend stopping by. It's such a cute spot for a coffee date with whomever!
