"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
"Israeli-born pastry chefTzurit Oropened her first bakery in Brookline in 2008. Ten years later,Tatte Bakeryhas eight locations in Boston proper, plus another four in Cambridge, which means Or’s creations are available in almost every neighborhood (no complaints here). The all-day menu features a slew of sandwiches and salads, plus heartier items such as the garden vegetable bowl served with roasted-pepper cashew spread and housemade challah and the avocado and zucchini tartine. We recommend topping just about anything with a poached egg, local and free-range of course." - ByMelissa Malamut
