Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Fenway

"In June 2020, employees of Tatte Bakery, a small bakery chain that opened in Boston in 2007 but now also has locations in Washington, D.C., published a Change.org petition demanding that Tatte put its money where its mouth was when it came to diversity. 'We have seen Tatte’s supposed stance on Instagram as a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement but unfortunately, we have yet to see tangible actions made by the corporation,' the petition said, detailing how there were no people of color in the bakery’s executive team and how Tatte leadership didn’t address instances of 'racially charged or insensitive behaviors or statements from those in leadership positions at Tatte.'" - Jaya Saxena

"Local cafe-bakery chain Tatte is continuing its explosive growth, and more details are trickling out about previously announced upcoming locations. There’s now a specific address for a planned Coolidge Corner location, for example; it’ll be at 420 Harvard St., Brookline, and it will open this fall." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Harvard does have a library, right? It must (and if it doesn’t, someone’s gotta make a call to the US News college rankings people). But you’d be forgiven for assuming it doesn’t when you walk into Tatte, a massive two-story cafe that’s packed at all hours of the day and has a laptop and an open biology book on nearly every table. Step up to the pastry counter, though, and you’ll understand why this place is so popular. The chocolate hazelnut brioche and espresso mocha mousse are so good you won’t care that it might not be socially acceptable to eat dessert at 11 in the morning. And Tatte isn’t just a pastry place, either, it’s got a big menu of sandwiches, salads, tartines, and other Middle Eastern-ish specialties like fattoush and shakshuka. You could easily spend your whole day here, holed up in a booth by the window, rolling from one meal to the next." - Dan Secatore

"Tatte Bakery & Cafe, founded by Tzurit Or, has recently expanded with new locations in Northeastern and Seaport Districts, with further plans to open in downtown Boston and Washington, D.C. The expansion involves collaboration with Panera founder Ron Shaich." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Tatte Bakery & Cafe, which started as a small bakery, has grown significantly over the past decade, expanding to eight locations around Boston, Cambridge, and Brookline, with additional locations in Seaport and Northeastern University's campus. The expansion was facilitated by a partnership with former Panera CEO Ron Shaich. The bakery is known for its all-day brunch service and a variety of baked goods and beverages." - Dana Hatic
