This is a fancy bakery chain in the DC area (think at least 5 locations?). The selection wasn't too extensive (kinda skimpy, in fact), but some of their pastries looked amazing! However, things took a quick dive in more ways than one. For starters, they were out of plates, so we got everything handed in To-Go boxes (though we were eating in). Then the tables were a mess! I guess you basically have to bus your own tables here? Also, the seating area just wasn't very comfy...with so many tables squeezed in together. Not sure why the layout is so awkward here! Still, the pastries that we tried were really, really good! The drinks were just OK. So...definitely a mixed bag of impressions. Based on the pastries, I would rate them 5 stars...but the rest of it was just really bad. Running out of dishes and cups (??), dirty tables, bad layout, weak service (not friendly at all!), etc.etc. I guess the management was a bit slack here?? In any case, I probably will stop in again to try their pastries again. Just hope things are better next time around. read more

Tatte never fails to disappoint! The customer service is always so friendly and welcoming, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful. It's such a cozy, aesthetically pleasing spot to relax, grab coffee, or enjoy a meal. Everything always feels fresh and thoughtfully made. I genuinely love coming here every time! read more

I've tried giving this location multiple chances because the food itself is great but the service issues have become too consistent to ignore. At this point, there's a problem almost every time I come here, whether it's busy or not, which makes it difficult to chalk it up to normal rush-related mistakes. The biggest issue is that there doesn't seem to be any real system for catching or resolving errors once they happen. Things tend to fall through the cracks and then it becomes the customer's responsibility to chase someone down for help or follow up multiple times to get an issue resolved. What's especially frustrating is the response when issues are pointed out. Instead of feeling met with urgency, accountability, or even basic apologetic customer service, the reaction often feels confused, dismissive, or slightly defensive -- like the burden is somehow on the customer for bringing it up in the first place. Staff overall tend to seem disengaged rather than proactive about fixing problems and the general vibe is very "bare minimum" customer service. I understand mistakes happen in any busy cafe and I wouldn't leave a review over a one-off experience. But after repeated visits with the same pattern, it's hard to justify coming back. The food is genuinely good, but not good enough to outweigh the consistently frustrating service experiences. As someone local to the area, I want to feel like my business is appreciated and unfortunately I just haven't felt that here. I'd gladly come back if the service and follow-through became more consistent. read more

Met a friend for coffee midday on a Friday. Sat at the bar and had to ask when I realized no one was going to wait on me... went back up front and ordered coffee and a passion fruit pastry to eat there. Got a number and sat down. When my friend arrived, changed seats. Coffee came relatively fast but had to ask for the pastry. It came in a box- had to ask for a plate and utensil. Coffee delicious. Pastry very good. Service needs work. The place was pretty full. Toere is outdoor and indoor seating. I'd come back. read more

Came to Washington DC for a whirlwind weekend visit. Had a little bit of time to kill before my flight home, so we wandered around this cute little area for a bit and then came here to Tatte for a light breakfast. Ambiance was really striking. You walk in and boom, you're smacked with the wonderful smell of baked bread and pastries. You're forced to walk by dozens and dozens of delicious options as you wait in line to order. I got some coffee drink. I don't remember which, but it was iced, and it was pretty good. I ordered a couple of pastries, namely Chocolate Croissant (Four Valrhona dark chocolate batons rolled into Tatte flaky croissant dough) and a Dark Chocolate Muffin (Rich chocolate muffin made with 62% Dark Valrhona chocolate and roasted beets). The croissant was excellent. Very, Very flakey. You will not be able to avoid getting flakes everywhere. But the buttery pastry is actually very flavorful and isn't just the boring part of the pastry, like other American versions of a pain au chocolat. The chocolate here is the 50/50 star of the show. Very well done. The real treat here was the muffin, though. Dark on dark on dark chocolate. The only real source of sweetness was the beets. Very subdued, but sweet enough to be a sweet. Just so elegant. I was a big fan. Overall, I'm very happy with Tatte, and I hope they bring one to Orlando. We sure could use a place like this. read more

I had almost dismissed Tatte entirely after an underwhelming experience at the Georgetown location, but it was raining and the group decided to go here. I'm glad I gave the chain another chance because the Clarendon location did much better. We got the Halloumi Salad and Corn and Spinach Shakshuka. I enjoyed both dishes. They had good flavor and used fresh ingredients. I just wish the portion sizes were bigger for the price. The dinner roll that came with the salad and the brioche that came with the the shakshuka were delicious. I also tried a little of my friend's labneh and lamb shakshuka and I highly recommend it. The flavors and spices were spot on and much better than other shakshuka I had in the area which just tasted like canned tomatoes with an egg in it. Their Havla latte also tasted nice. Strong cardamom and spice flavor. The space was nice and modern with bright white walls and high ceilings. Be warned it got loud and echoey inside. I do think their to go system could use improvement. The space is too big. We sat down to wait and could not hear them calling our names. Had to continuously check back. Wish they gave buzzers instead of forcing customers to wait at the counter. read more

I love this Tatte location. The employees are always friendly and helpful when you go in, and when I order to pick up it's usually done quicker than it says. My favorite is the chicken pita and a cup of soup when it's cold out. You can't go wrong! read more

I have heard so many good things about Tatte Bakery. I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm with my friend and it was incredibly busy. Almost every single table was full, so we sat around one of the small bars where they were making drinks. The staff were very busy, but I was slightly expecting to have some form of a greeting but we did not. To order, you have to go up to the counter and I will say there was a long line and only one person taking orders so it did take a good fifteen minutes to order, which felt very long as I was in the third person in line when I went up. They have a good amount on the menu that all sound very delicious. I like how the prices and portions range. I got the smoked salmon and avocado and it was a good size. I liked the green herb dressing, but i almost feel it would be better on toast or just not on that particular bread/with a bun, as it was kind of difficult to eat. The sandwich was falling apart and the egg was a little bland and cold. For a drink, I got the iced mocha, and to be incredibly frank, I could not take more than a few sips. It tasted as if I was drinking straight mocha power, kind of reminded me of making hot chocolate and drinking the powder if you did not mix it enough. I tried mixing it, and even adding half and half and honestly nothing was making it taste better unfortunately. I thought about trying something else instead, but due to the line, I did not have the time. I want to come back, and try a different coffee. This would be a great place to do work. The inside is very pretty, and the pastries look fabulous. read more

Aside from some sticky surfaces, the pastries and coffee/tea is pretty reasonable. Really loved the seating arrangement and light able to come through the place! Makes it a great spot to grab a quick drink/bite or get work done. The chocolate mousse is very dense and not overly sweet, making it the perfect companion to any savory item or a drink. Appreciated the free cold water! read more

This location is beautiful but as a self proclaimed coffee snob the coffee leaves much to be desired the seasonal drinks aren't good and there's nothing special about the coffee.

Love working from here, though it is usually quite busy so if you're looking for a quiet work spot this probably isn't it. All the drinks have been really good! I've tried the house latte, ginger date latte, sesame latte and matcha latte. They are all on the sweeter side though The oatmeal was really good and the pastries and desserts always look tempting (the ones I've tried have hit the spot) read more

Tatte is a bright and open space to have a coffee and a snack. The location was bigger then I expected with a range of tables, including outside covered seating. There would be even more tables available but the time I visited, many customers had seemingly not bussed their tables and no one else had cleared them so there were multiple tables covered in dirty dishes. Once I found a spot, I enjoyed a tasty almond croissant with a great crunchy to coating of sugared sliced almonds. The iced mocha was a little disappointing. It was more bitter than usual and I didn't really taste any chocolate. I probably would not order that again. read more

Such an amazing bakery!! I love the ambiance here, it's super open and airy, lots of seating, and it's very bright. I got a ham and cheese croissant which was so delicious! I'm a really big fan of dijon mustard with the ham combo. I also got a pistachio croissant and the pistachio filling was also really good, but wish there was more cream. It wasn't too sweet either and it had a good balance with the croissant. The croissants are also so flaky! Lastly, I got an iced pistachio latte and it was so yum!! It had real fine bits of pistachio at the bottom which I enjoyed, but it might not be for everyone cause I could see how it can be chunky. read more

This location is absolutely stupid. I ordered an Americano and whatever they brought me had a bunch of milk and s*** in it. That alone took 20 minutes. I also ordered an oatmeal that never came after 35 minutes and I just had to leave because I needed to get back to an appointment. How the f*** does oatmeal take over 35 minutes to bring out? You literally just boil water and throw the oats in. read more

Came on a Sunday morning and it was packed! Though able to snag counter seating. Everything is a little disorganized and chaotic here - a little unsure about where to line up, who's taking my pastry vs coffee vs cooked foods order, unclear whether this is a self-bussing place or if we leave our plates when we are finished. An employee took our number card before we had received food and we were fortunate that the person who had our order was walking around shouting our names. Breakfast platter was pretty tasty! Although the coffee was a let down and not one to write home about. This might be a decent place to stop by on a walk downtown, though there may be other options nearby that have a better system in place to avoid some headache. read more

I know lots of people don't like Tatte and feel like it's and industry plant, but it's a dang good one if so! I had a matcha lemonade and then a grilled cheese. I then came back later and had a monkey bread pastry. Everything was so good! The workers are so nice! I love the aesthetic and how many pastries they provide. Id love to come here one day to WFH. It gets a bit noisy depending on when you're there, but it's nothing crazy. Tatte is expanding for a reason friends!! read more

I spent a Sunday afternoon working at Tatte and was pleasantly surprised by how cozy it felt. I had heard good things about this place but didn't know what to expect. I highly recommend working from here as most of the seating along the windows have outlets right under the tables, and there is plenty of bar seating. Service: The service was excellent. Whenever someone got up around me, a staff member was quick to clean up the area and prepare it for the next person. Drinks// Tatte House Latte :: This latte was delightful and not overly sweet. You can taste a hint of cardamom, which adds a unique touch. I think a little cinnamon would have been a nice addition, but overall, it was a delicious and standard latte. Food// Turmeric Tea Cake (Gluten-Free) :: This cake was incredibly good and surprisingly moist for a gluten-free option. I wanted to try something different from the baked section, and this caught my eye. The turmeric flavor is distinct but not overpowering, making it a unique and sweet treat. It's a must-try whether you are gluten-free or just looking for something different. Cup of Tomato Soup & House Roll :: (This is a must-get!) The menu mentions that they are famous for this soup, and I can see why. The tomato flavor is rich, with delightful chunks of spices and tomato. It was perfect for a cold day. The portion size was decent for a side, but the highlight was the house roll that came with it. The roll had a hint of sweetness and a touch of salt on top, making it a great addition to the soup. Chicken Pita ::I really wanted to like this, but it missed the mark for me. While the ingredients were very fresh, the overall flavor was rather bland. I had this to-go and needed to add some salt when I got home. The pita itself was delicious, but I think the filling could use more spices or a different dressing to enhance the flavor. Probably wont get this again the next time I visit. read more

A great addition to the Mosaic area. The deserts are unique and delicious. We had the bagel bao and it was amazing. Served warm and not too sweet. Easy to order with self screen. Menu shows calories.

Delicious breakfast! I enjoyed the mushroom potatoes spinach plate. Well prepared and all delicious. The sauce was dreamy. I wanna make this dish at home. I recommend getting a pastry while you wait.

One could argue it's a little dry and could use more chocolate, but it was delicious sweet bread. read more

Came in on a weekday evening and got a late and a light salmon sandwich. Both were great. The place was well lit and very clean. The cashier was knowledgeable about the options and knew just what to get if you're not trying to get stuffed. I think there might be WiFi here since I saw people with laptops out but I'm not sure. Look forward to coming back when I'm in the area. Lately street parking can get tight around here but just park in the garage across the street and get validated at whole foods. read more

Very yummy sweets. My favorite bakery/coffee shop in the DC area. Always love to come to there, especially if I'm hungry!

Can we talk about the best gluten free sandwich I have had in a long time?! The fillings, sauces, seasonings, bread - delicious. The sesame tea cake (GF) was also divine. Although I took my food to go, I came inside to pick up my food and the ambiance/vibes of the interior are so cute. The servers/hostesses were extremely nice and knowledgeable about all of the gluten free goodies as well. I can't wait to return, and I want to try their coffee/tea and more food! read more

Visited Tatte so many times in Arlington and although its always been lunch and hard to find seats, we always end up sharing a table and well worth the food. Everyone is great and I am so happy one is open in Reston. We visited our first dinner time around 6 pm when there were hardly any guests and it was my worst dining experience and centered around Anthony F. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and specified toasted. He said it always comes toasted. Guess what..it never does according to the server. We ordered dessert. He goofed up the order and when I asked for the cold slice of apple pie to be warmed (a microwave was behind him), he said "the oven was closed". I could go on. And I gave a 20% tip before we saw how incompetent he was. I pray he isn't at Reston. read more

Cute bakery chain in Clarendon! Came here after going to the Lifetime gym for breakfast and tried a bunch of pastries. I've never had a Jerusalem bagel before, so that stood out to me the most - delicious, thin ovular bagel with seasame seeds. We also got the pistachio cherry shortbread, a cinnamon bun, and some other pastries that weren't very memorable. Cute interior though and nice for working :) read more

From Barry's to Tatte's! One of my good friends joined me for today's workout and we decided to catch up at Tatte's afterwards. The bakery was quite busy for a Monday afternoon but with a little patience we were able to snag a table and dine outside. We both enjoyed the Salmon Rice and Veggie bowl which was packed with flavor. For dessert we both had the cheesecake with the fright toppings. So good! With an iced coffee. No complaints over here!!! All good vibes- I'm glad we came here to try them out. I love a cute little coffee shop! Would definitely come back here. read more

We always pass by this bakery and cafe. However, whenever we pass by it is usually closed. My husband wanted to try a new coffee place and we remembered that this is nearby our dinner place. The selections were plenty to choose from. They had glass cases so you can see the pastries along with the names of each. We ordered an iced latte and two treats to try. The service could be much more welcoming and friendlier. It was our first time and they didn't seem to care when asking for recommendations. It was more of "this is what we have and there's the coffee menu, read it". After placing the order we weren't told that we needed to go over to the next area to pickup the iced latte. In fact they didn't say anything at all so we just all stood there with everyone else. The iced coffee was okay. It was mostly of just milk than any taste of the house made honey halva syrup. It was topped with micro foam which was basically nonexistent. The meringue was just okay. It was hard to chew, wasn't a melt in your mouth as I thought meringues should be, and there was no cocoa nib/dark chocolate taste either. The crumbs cheesecake cup was good but it wasn't anything special or unique but rather just an ordinary cheesecake in a cup. read more

Their drinks are not good. I had a "matcha lemonade" which was awful and overpriced. There are better places than this

Ambiance: (5/5) A lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Price: (4/5) Prices are average for the area. Food: (4/5) I really liked my savory French toast. I wish the bread was more like French toast because it seemed kind of plain. I like the lemon dressed lettuce on the side. The bacon was very crispy and a great touch. Service: (5/5) Even on Mother's Day weekend we got our food within 10 mins, service is amazing!! read more

Updating my review well after their grand opening- this is my go-to spot in the neighborhood for a fresh and filling breakfast or lunch. I pop in almost once a week and this place is POPPING most Saturday and Sunday mornings/lunchtime. Their pastries and deserts have only improved and their seasonal rotation keeps the dishes fresh and incredible. I'm still not a huge fan of their lattes but I can be a tough critic in that category- and you shouldn't come here just for the coffee. If anything they have a wonderful selection of teas and refreshing iced drinks. The aesthetic inside is 10/10 but is busy and buzzing. I recommend sitting outside for the best people watching- this is the spot to be on a Saturday in Clarendon. read more

Tasty in every single way. Perfect place to study in if you like a bustling environment. Maybe a good place for a first date? Def has the vibe of romance for a coffee date. Or even a place to try some really unique dishes. They offer a wide variety of dishes and have a bakery section. I typically get a brunch option, a gluten free pastry, and an americano. The prices are a little higher than I would like, but you are getting quality items, and a great environment. The wait can be a bit much since this place is popular, but we found that the long lines move fast since they have several cashiers. The staff is really friendly and helpful when picking out our items. They are able to make certain items gluten free which is a plus. Overall i recommend it, go to any one since they all seem great! read more
