Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Charles St

Gosh, I really really wanted to give them five stars. Instead, here is a very thorough review of why this is not so. After three tries to produce a hot Cortado, they were all somehow a little bit colder than the first. The pastries are great though! I came in here last year and really enjoyed the gorgeous pastry offerings. and whimsical holiday pastries and cookies. We lived in the neighborhood for many years, so each year we revisit. Then I recently visited in October 2025. It was just a few blocks from our house (we were on a home swap, so we had an extended stay, and I was here quite a bit). Each day I would walk down the hill for my morning coffee and pastry here. Each time I would order a cortado. The first time it was Lukewarm, but by no means warm. So the second time I asked for

Tatte Bakery is simply amazing. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the aroma of fresh-baked goods that look as good as they taste. Their croissants are perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious, and the coffee is rich, aromatic, and consistently excellent. What makes it even better is its close proximity to the park — the perfect spot to grab something to go and enjoy a crisp fall day outdoors. Tatte truly delivers on both quality and charm.

I’m visiting from out of town, and was a little hesitant when I saw that this looks to be a chain around the city. I couldn’t be more wrong. This location is so incredibly cozy, and the staff working this morning (1/8) was very friendly. I sat here for a while journaling and enjoyed my hot drip coffee and pastry. I will be back next time I’m in town!

The cafe sits on Charles St. in a beautiful part of the city. It’s very busy and super small inside. If there’s no available table (you seat yourself), they put your meal in a box… no matter what you order. I ordered a dish that had scrambled eggs, goat cheese, tomatoes, toast. It was absolutely delicious but wasn’t really a to-go type meal. Luckily I found a table on the patio to enjoy my meal. It was right next to a ton of trash cans and the birds were everywhere. It didn’t smell but it was unsightly. I would definitely eat here again, but I might try one of their other several locations to see if the atmosphere is different. It’s hectic and you kind of feel in the way with this one. The coffee is great and the staff was nice.

Tatte, simply delicious.

It’s a cute location, not modern in design like other Tatte locations. Super cute/cozy!
