A great bunch place, chain or otherwise! I recently went here with a friend for a weekend brunch…read moreand had a good experience. We were able to order and get our food quickly and get seats, despite Tatte being busy. The costs were reasonable for our portion sizes and everything was beautifully plated. I got the tomato basil soup and the lamb hash and both were delicious. The tomato basil soup was rich and creamy; however, the roll could have been better. My lamb hash was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the potatoes. The labneh, herbs, and the tomato salad added delicious freshness to the hash, and the challah served as a great vessel for eating the hash. I tried my friend's spinach, Jerusalem artichoke, and egg plate, and it was also tasty, with properly done eggs and hearty bread. I would recommend Tatte for your next weekend brunch!

Grabbed coffee here while working an event. Wasn't in love with the coffee, mostly because I…read moreordered an iced white chocolate mocha and it was lukewarm with one or two ice cubes. I ended up asking for more ice which helped. Honestly, it did the trick and gave me a boost of energy which is what I needed! Staff were super accommodating and immediately put more in, without dumping any coffee out since it was filled to the top already. I appreciated the thought of giving me a bigger cup to make room for more ice. Loved their bakery items that I believe are part of Dolan Uyghur. I ended up ordering the brownie cookie and tried a bit of a friends honey cake she had ordered. The cake tasted like a honey graham cracker. The honey drizzle and cream filling gave it a nice light flavor. The brownie cookie I found a bit dry on the outside but moist on the inside. I typically like my cookies soft and slightly undercooked. I'd go back to try the white chocolate matcha cookie.

Took myself here for a solo date to have dessert at their cafe on a Saturday afternoon. There were…read morenot many people around at that time and I got seated upstairs. Later, I ventured out to their patio to snag a seat outside. The desert is essentially rice pudding and very sweet but addictive and milky enough for my liking. I've been here many times for meals and it's my first time coming here for coffee / dessert.

The selection of teas is exquisite, and the "mush" overnight oats are delicious! I rarely indulge in the pastries here, but they are sugary, tempting, and delicious as well. Thank you, Dav, for all the times you powered me through my studies with a perfect boost of caffeine. I will always be back.

The fact it is in the middle of the American University campus, that in itself would have you believe that this place is the nucleus of gallant uprisings of intellectual revolution and meetings of professors and their beloved student, far from it! Its dull, over priced, bad service and certainly a hangout out of necessity because the nearest starbucks is far from a block away!
