Tatte is pretty consistently a quality option as far as cafes go, so it's no surprise that my pastry and chai latte were delicious. The pastry had a nice balance of fruit and bread, and the textures were really interesting; crispy in parts, chewy in others, and tasty throughout. And the chai latte tasted great, the spices came through without being drowned out by sugar. It's impressive that this busy location right next to Boston Commons is able to stay clean and efficient, and the layout allows for some quieter corners even with all the foot traffic. Definitely putting other cafe chains to shame! read more

A great dessert cafe. It stays busy and the order line moves quickly. There is a large seat area, including seating at the window overlooking the common area. I got a brownie and a pistachio latte. Both were good. There is a very large selection of pastries and coffees to choose from. read more

Grabbed a potato and leek soup for a quick snack and was pretty disappointed - lukewarm and quite small. The bread was good, but not worth the $7. Service was fine, all the tables and surfaces were not clean, so that was a bit of a bummer. Generally hit or miss for me with Tatte, won't be ordering soup again. read more

I had the lamb kebab pita and the preserved fig, lemon, mint soda. Everything rocked my face off. First, the pita was so flavorful and the perfect consistency. The lamb was spiced and cooked perfectly and paired with the toppings so well. I thought the drink was a subtly sweet and tangy treat with a fresh finish. A terrific meal. The cost was a bit on the high side, but it was worth it! read more

Nice ambiance for a cafe. I really enjoyed their London Fog. The tarts and cheesecakes are really yummy. I like that it's a pretty large space for a cafe so there is ample seating. Their breakfasts are simple but satisfying. Great service. read more

Great place for a sweet treat and satisfying beverages- lattes, chai, teas, hot chocolate, and more. It can be quite busy, but the staff is efficient at moving the line along. The atmosphere is a bit cold with tile and hard surfaces, maybe to discourage nursing a cup of coffee & sitting all day. It is a bit pricy, but what isn't these days? read more

Came in for a quick breakfast after visiting Boston Public Garden and taking a picture of the Cheers bar--IYKYK. Almond croissant was delicious. The scone was also delicious. The warm oatmeal was, as promised, very warm. Not hot. Just warm. The bread on which the breakfast sandwich was built was so good. 10 out of 10 on the bread. I imagine any Tatte cafe would be as good. The his one right next to the park was spot on. read more

Full transparency here: I was a little concerned when my lamb kebab plate came out because it looked really bland. I'm happy I actually tried it before giving a final judgment because I ended up really liking it and ultimately ate the plate clean. I also ordered the ice pistachio latte and I could tell by the color that it wasn't going to hit for me, and I was correct. This place was super busy when my friends and I got there, but we were able to get a table outside which was nice, because the people watching was really entertaining. Overall, I'd totally visit this place again. There were a couple bakery items that caught my eye and would love to come back to try them. read more

This place has an excellent ambience. The food is OK. It's great for company. But the food was sort of average. The pistachio croissant was acceptable and the orange upside down cake just OK. None of them really seemed fresh even though we were there on a Sunday afternoon. read more

"It's gonna recommend you to the Spirit in the sky" (Norman Greenbaum) We were chatting with some friends that are "locals" and for whatever reason the topic of coffee shops came up, and they RAVED about Tatte. So, after our walk through the Public Garden and around the Boylston neighborhood we made this Tatte (there are 20 or so around town) our stop for a coffee and a snack. The shop was a beehive of activity with plenty of worker bees filling drink and food orders, a steady stream of customers, a crowded dining room, and plenty of amazing food in the showcase and on the counter as we inched our way to the ordering station. Their menu and showcases entice you with some great looking comforting food and drink from their scratch kitchen and coffee bar. You can satisfy appetites of all size with their selections of breakfast/brunch orders, sandwiches, soups, shakshuka egg plates, bowls, and Grab & Go items to take to your next destination or eat in their dining room. Their bakery cranks out some gorgeous delicacies - pastries, brownies, cookies, cakes, desserts, and breads. And of course, what good is a coffee shop without coffee? You can wet your whistle with around 55 choices in the drip coffee, espresso, iced espresso, hot and iced tea, lattes, milk, juice, and sparkling drink families of beverages. We were between meals and just wanted a light pick-me-up, so we ordered accordingly. Our drinks were a 12-ounce drip coffee and a 12-ounce iced blood orange Hibiscus tea, each were $3.85. Our snacks were a Morning Bun pastry ($4.50) and a gorgeous slice of Tomato and Mozzarella Flatbread ($5.50) that really grabbed my attention as we were working our way down the ordering line. Our food and drink were excellent. I enjoyed the subtle flavorings of my iced tea, and man oh man, was that flatbread a winner! And look at the pricing- very reasonable for a spot in the tourist center of one of America's biggest tourist cities. Our friends were right - Tatte is a wonderful place. read more

A beautiful space to grab a tasty treat or enjoy one of the many beverage options they offer. I stopped in for a little afternoon snack and was hoping to also get a drink, but the one I wanted it was out of stock at the time so I settled on the lemon poppyseed cake/loaf and the chocolate cookie sandwich. Both treats were less than five dollars each as we're most things available in the pastry/snack displays. The staff were friendly and the service was pretty quick and the food menu actually looked like it was quite tasty as well, but I'll have the return to try some things off of the full menu. read more

We were staying a block from here, decided to pop in and great choice! It was tough to choose because everything looked so good but we weren't ready for a full breakfast. We chose a chocolate and almond croissants. The chocolate one had perfect amount of chocolate as did the almond. Caramel latte and strawberry tea refresher which was a tad too sweet but both were good. I wish we lived closer, I'd be there often. read more

A Boston staple, beautiful interior, lots of seating to sit and chat. What's not to like about this place? If you're out of town visiting and need a place to study/work/hang out for a little, find one of the nearby Tatte's! 100% recommend, good service, and fantastic environment. Potato and Bacon Shakshuka ($15, 10/10) - This was honestly SO GOOD, I'd 100% get this dish again. Heads up it's basically a potato chowder, not really shakshuka - Very different from traditional red sauce shakshuka, but it's delicious in its own right - They give 2 slices of bread, along with a shareable-sized stainless-steel pan - The potato is soft and rich, bacon is thick, and the sauce is super creamy - Would definitely come again. Can recommend this dish. Easy, light dish for 2 people to share read more

Among the busy city, such a cute and fun brunch spot! We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the overnight oats with roasted peaches. The house coffee and matcha latte were delicious. I loved that the matcha was very lightly sweetened and very creamy. The overall place was very airy with lots of windows, a great place to sit and relax or work. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area. The service was very fast casual, the place was busy but the food was ready very quickly. read more

Whenever I am back in Boston, whether it is for work or pleasure, I absolutely am thrilled when I have the opportunity to come to Tatte. Luckily, this particular location was within walking distance of my hotel so I frequented it pretty much every day while I was there for a week. Tatte serves up some of the most delicious breakfast options, freshest pastries, and fantastic coffee. I tried one of their seasonal lattes while I was there, and it was divine. On this particular trip, I thoroughly enjoyed their almond croissant and their strawberry fold over. You cannot go wrong with anything that you order from Tatte. read more

Breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese. Great service and cute restaurants. I ordered online for this location and the wait time was accurate and I was able to skip the long lines. It was quick and no account needed, was able to add my card easily. This location is great for taking the food to eat across the street at the commons as well. read more

I feel like I'm just really missing the hype with Tatte! I've gone periodically over the last couple of years and it's just not my thing. I could see it being more enjoyable if I liked to work in noisier/livelier atmospheres, however. I think the drinks might be a bit overrated in comparison to the pastries. If you're new to Boston, definitely give it a try regardless! read more

This place is really good and really busy. Found it on Yelp when I was staying in the area and it had good reviews so we decided to check it out. Apparently it's no secret because there was a pretty long line when we got there on a Saturday morning. But don't get discouraged because it moves fairly quickly and the staff seems to know what they're doing. They have lots of delicious baked goods to choose from and all the fancy coffees. I got the almond croissant and it was among the best I've had. The next day I actually went back and picked up a pistachio croissant, which I never had before but was also delicious. The people I was with also enjoyed it and the local people I was with said they go all the time. The prices were fair considering quality and location. It's quite large but expect a line and you may have to look hard to scam a table when it's busy. But overall you should definitely go here. read more

This food was so delicious that we went back a second time while in the city for only 3 days. I had the lamb, potato and carrot hash on day 1 and the traditional Shakshuka on day 2. My husband had a breakfast sandwich and donut on day 1 and the new potato and mushroom Shakshuka on day 2. The service was fast and the food was so flavorful. Also, the portions were large. You will not leave hungry. read more

This is like their "Starbucks" in Boston. Honestly a great cafe for a chain, coffee was good and the pastry was not bad either. I had the almond croissant with my coffee, which was perfect for me, not too sweet, with a nice boston cream filling, also surprisingly a good size. read more

Delicious! I came here from Maine as a tourist with three of my friends one morning and we all loved everything we ordered. The staff was friendly and personable and it was a very welcoming environment. We ordered a lot of pastries and we all enjoyed them so much that we didn't talk to each other while we ate. read more

I searched nearby cafes in search of coffee with clean aesthetics and Tatte delivered! The inside is beautiful and clean! This place was packed no matter what time of day with a line wrapped around the pastry counter but there were a lot of seating options. I ordered the halloumi sunny side breakfast sandwich and the halloumi was so good! I definitely would have liked it with a meat as well but it was good! I ordered the black sesame latte on my first visit. I loved the flavor but was not expecting it to be grainy in texture. My second visit I ordered the house latte with a honey-halva & cardamom flavor. I think I liked the black sesame latte more but both were good! The pastry case had so many offerings all at reasonable prices! We tried the crumble cheesecake cup and the vanilla lime krembo! Both were decadent and just enough! It was my first time trying a krembo & I loved the meringue and the key lime center! Definitely worth a try if you're in Boston! read more

Maybe you should try to hire a couple more baristas because the morning rush is stressful on them! The croissant sandwich was very deliciously made with avocado, tomato, and arugula. There's an option to add sausage so we did. The regular breakfast sandwich on sour dough is not really anything to write home about. It's rather plain and lacking any kind of sauce. I ordered without cheese (not a dairy allergy just a slight intolerance), and the sandwich was pretty plain. Coffee was delicious as always. Even though it was super busy and the line to order was long, it moved super quickly! read more

Tatte is an absolute must in Boston, but this Tatte in particular deserves all the hype. It has the perfect view for studying and people watching as it overlooks the Common. As always, the food and drinks are fabulous. Favorites include the shakshuka, avocado toast, lox avocado toast, the house special cardamom latte, and the vanilla latte. Truly cannot go wrong here. A trip to Boston would be incomplete without stopping by at Tatte! read more

Food - you cannot go wrong with any item on the menu. Every item is hearty, delicious, and interesting. Portions are very generous. Not the cheapest place you can go for lunch but the quality is unmatched in my opinion. The pastries are extraordinary too so definitely treat yourself to something sweet for dessert! My favorite is the pistachio croissant. Service - very efficient ordering at the counter and seating yourself after. Time to get your items depends on the rush but I've never had an issue. Ambiance - the Boylston st location is bustling and you get a nice view of passers by for people watching! Mix of folks chatting, working, etc. Very vibrant space. read more

Seeing that this is a popular chain cafe in the Boston area, my expectations were not the highest. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the coffee and meals ordered. There was essentially no line, however this was around mid-afternoon on a weekday. Decor was up to par, however it was quite noisy due to materials used in the construction of its interior. We started with iced lattes (black sesame and pistachio), both of which were rich in their respectively flavors. The black sesame latte was loaded with finely ground sesame. Within 10 minutes, we received our meals - traditional shakshuka and short rib and eggplant couscous bowl. Both dishes were plentiful and delicious. The shakshuka came with 3 large slices of sour dough bread and the bowl came with a large chunk of well braised short rib and large helping of couscous. Tatte will be in my list of places to revisit for a quick bite and coffee in the future. read more

Tatte is a popular cafe with multiple locations throughout Boston. Expect long lines and large crowds during lunch and dinner time. This location is very convenient since it's next to Boston Commons and a T stop. Come here if you want a quick sit down meal, a cup of Joe, or a reliably good take out lunch. I highly recommend the roasted cauliflower sandwich (healthy, but delicious and very flavorful and the sauce is to die for) and the lamb hash (tender meat and the vegetables were cooked perfectly). I don't recommend the prosciutto & fig panini, it was an interesting concept, but the fig's sweetness didn't pair well with the meat for me. For dessert, they have a lot of pastries to pick from, but I especially recommend the Petit Mixed Nut Box which comes with almonds, pistachio, cashews, and more that's topped with caramel and served in an edible container! For coffee, the pistachio latte is a must try if you love pistachios. Despite the long lines, they move quicky and I got my food in 5-10 minutes. There is usually a seating spot available since people come and go. They have multiple unisex bathrooms available that were clean and tidy. The staff were friendly. read more

What a wonderful little spot! I'm in Boston for business and wanted to grab breakfast before heading to a meeting. Tatte is a beautiful space and the pastries are just as pretty. I had the egg and salmon sandwich on brioche. It was buttery and luscious with just the right amount of capers. It was filling without being heavy and ended up being the perfect start to the day. If you're in Boston they have multiple locations so check them out read more
