Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Back Bay

I visited Tatte Bakery & Café in Back Bay and tried the Chicken Pita, which came with creamy grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. It was really good — flavorful, fresh, and definitely one of the better quick bites I’ve had in Boston. The vibe of the place was unmatched too; it feels lively and stylish. The only challenge was the crowd. The café was absolutely packed, and there was almost no place to sit. Luckily, I managed to find one spot after waiting a bit, but it was clearly a very popular location. I didn’t try the coffee this time, but the menu looked impressive, especially the huge variety of pastries, desserts, and sweet items. I’m not much into sweets, but everything looked tempting, and I’d definitely come back to try more items. Overall, great food and great atmosphere — just be ready for the crowd!

This place had a huge line which after waiting 10 minutes to order I was excited. Their food presentation was quite nice, it’s definitely too bad the flavor wasn’t a match to the appearance. The chocolate muffin looked awesome but it was totally dry inside. The pumpkin pie and pecan dessert were equally disappointing as they looked so good. Overall maybe I ordered the wrong things or this place has good coffee but it was a big disappointed for me.

Lovely breakfast place, great variety of pastries but also hot food. I came on a Sunday and it was very busy managed to get a seat at the bar as I was alone. Back again on Monday and it’s much quieter. The overnight oats are delicious! Will be back everyday whilst I am here for work for the UK.

We stopped in during our trip and were instantly hit with the smell of fresh pastries- it was warm, cozy, and so inviting. The place was super clean, and the outdoor patio was adorable. The breakfast sandwiches tasted really fresh, and the pastries were delicious. We tried the pumpkin latte special too—it was just okay, but the overall vibe made it worth the stop. Definitely glad we swung by.

The food is delicious and made with such care — every dish tastes fresh and flavorful. The pastries are outstanding — flaky, fresh, and just the right amount of sweetness. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for brunch, coffee, or a sweet treat. Highly recommend!

I have a gluten allergy so it was nice to have a breakfast option that included bread. Had the smoked salmon egg breakfast sandwich, absolutely delicious and fresh —paired that with an oatmilk latte. The hubs had the lamb hash, also fresh and amazing. We left with happy, full belly’s.

The breakfast items are great. The pastries are even better. Staff is friendly and attentive. Only downside is finding a seat, it took a while for table space to become available. It seems people linger long after they finish eating.

Amazing place,the food was really delicious and fresh. The service was fabulous and everyone was so nice and helpful. I had a great experience and will definitely come back.

Favorite Tatte location out of all the Tattes I've visited while in Boston! The space is gorgeous , with a huge case of pastries and wide varieties. The coffee bar is separate, offering unique seasonal drinks. The servers here were also so accommodating and sweet. I could sit and sip my coffee for hours, while looking out the window! Honey halva latte is their specialty Tatte drink. The cardamom spice with the sweet honey was soooo warming during the colder temp day!

Tatte is a great spot for some quick, delicious and hearty food! When you first step in, you see the wall full of their pastries and I think that their pastries are where they shine! I got the pistachio croissant and the pistachio flavor stood out without being too sweet. Their food is also really good and filling which complements the pastries to make a full meal. The inside is very nice and service is quick. I highly recommend tatte if you want a quick bite!

I had a pistachio cherry tart($6.50) and a kale apple juice ($6). I liked the kale apple juice more than I thought I would, a bit of a nice sour aftertaste, like a candy. I lined the tart just as much as I imagined I would. It did not disappoint. It was buttery and had a nice texture. I'm so happy that I tried the tart.

Tatte is what dreams are made of. Stumbled upon this cafe during a trip to Boston when I was looking for some coffee after getting in and my life quickly changed. I went back multiple times that trip and have made it a point to return each trip to Boston since. The house latte is AMAZING. I get it every time I visit Boston. It's unique and cozy and so yummy. Iced or hot, you can't go wrong. Plus, the food here is incredible. I've never eaten something here I don't like. You truly can't go wrong. Everything here feels so homemade and not mass-produced like other chain restaurants. I've also worked from this location many times and it's a great place to do so. It's a good level of noise, plugs are available, and other people are most likely working there too.

Quick service and friendly staff! I stop by every Tatte I pass for a Jerusalem bagel. Perfectly crispy and fluffy. There are so many pastries to choose from here! They have savory or sweet! Perfect spot I grab a treat on the go or sit down and do some work. It is not too loud inside so you can work or have a coffee date here.

This spot hit the spot! Delicious little bakery to go with your friends the line went by fast. It wasn't too expensive and everything was very very fresh. I loved my fruit cheesecake cup. Creamy delicious and the fruit was ripe. I will be coming back

Ordered a vanilla matcha latte and it was sweet and creamy. The line was pretty long at around 9 in the morning but prices were what you expected for a nicer chain cafe.

We were visiting from out of state and had tried another Tatte Bakery not too far away and wasn't too impressed by the service, desserts were not bad, but didn't want to give up yet as there looked liked so many other yummy desserts to try...and since we happened to be exploring this area of town, we decided to stop by. Wow! This place was packed crowded!....but we were determined to try some of their other yummy offerings that we went ahead and got in the line, waited our turn to place our order, paid for our desserts, were given a number, and went searching for an open spot to sit.....and as luck would have it, we snagged a spot at the rear of the cafe bakery. Unfortuantely, this was right near the back open kitchen and restrooms and so we had to bear the crowd of customers waiting in line to get in the restrooms.....which was a bit annoying. Needless to say, it was truly difficult choosing just one or two incredibly yummy looking desserts as we wanted to try one of everything, but we finally decided on a slice of the Coconut Berry Frangipane Tart and the Maple Walnut Carrot Cake. OMG! I'm typically not a dessert person, but daaaaaaaang, these were amazingly good! Everything tasted so incredibly fresh, so fluffy, so moist. and each main ingredient was perfectly highlighted....and all this was done without being overly sweet. All I can say is that this was a great experience.....only on cheat days though....and I am glad our group of 5 shared these desserts or my blood sugar would have exploded had I finished it all by myself! Unfortunately, we were only visiting Boston and not sure when we will be visiting again next. I will miss this bakery very much.

Very cute atmosphere! We had a hot americano and a ton of pastries - ham and cheese croissant, chocolate croissant, and almond croissant. And I think a morning bun, too! Their coffee specials looked really yummy, too! Also had outdoor seating! Staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful!

Pros: Delicious food, pretty fast service, plenty of places to sit, it's not too loud (average noise level), great music playing, sleek decor, amazing coffee To note: There may be a wait if you arrive at this place at certain times of the day. Overall score: A+

Tatte bakery is always wonderful. They make excellent cappuccinos and their pastries are wonderful.

I was excepting a lot from here, they have a lot of stores and it was busy, hard to take a table. Coffee was good, croissant was good. We ordered breakfast sandwich and the plated one, both were the same, difference that the breakfast was 2 slices of bread and plated was only 1 with 2 potatoes. Flavor was ok, server was friendly, that is

The macchiatos or chai aren't good but the pastries are delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the vibes of the cafe. Furthermore, the employees are super nice and helpful. We can't wait to come back and try more pastries. Just maybe trying a latte next time. The pavlova was top notch so I highly recommend it!

Chicken sandwich is delicious. Nice and clean. Staff very nice . The lattes are delicious

Really enjoyed stopping here two of the three days of my trip. Day 1 I had a pistachio cherry tart and an oat milk cortado (after a disastrous cortado experience elsewhere. Delicious all around. Quick service despite being crowded. Today (Saturday) I returned to an even more packed shop, but I found seating relatively quickly and enjoyed a flat white with oat milk, walnut brownie, and Turkey B.L.A.T. I had my order brought to me within minutes of sitting down. I understand the hype!

Tatte is the absolute best! I live in Westchester County, New York, but every trip to Boston and DC is not complete until I return home to my family with treats from Tatte; at 7:03 AM EST this morning, right after opening and 17 minutes before catching the Acela home, that was a pistachio croissant, a pain au chocolat, and a fruit tart. The only bad thing about Tatte is that there isn't one in every major metropolitan city!

I'm a Tatte fan, and while my parents were in town we were seeking a quick breakfast before an excursion nearby. While Tatte was PACKED per usual, we quickly mobile ordered breakfast sandwiches that were ready even before the scheduled ETA which was fantastic! We were blown away by the sandwiches - the croissant, in particular, was fantastic. Great experience per usual at Tatte and I'll be back to this location for sure!

I came during brunch time and it was VERY crowded. The line was out the door by the time I got there. But after eating the food, I understand why. I ordered the Shakshuka, which seemed to be their most popular dish. It came with 3 slices of bread to scoop up their tomato based paste and poached egg. It was delicious! I also got their croissant and palmier cookie for my sweet tooth, and both were very good.

Probably visited here 4 times before leaving Boston. A stone's throw from the Fairmont, it's a great location to people watch with their outdoor seating, and love the vibes inside (plenty of seating as well!). Servers were kind and friendly. All of the pastries were out of this world. There's a reason I went back so often ;) Would recommend!

Visiting from the other side of the country and damn did we head here as soon as we landed. Charming decor, delicious house latte (Honey halva flavoured with cardamom) & simply the best pastries. We had their Jewish bagel, kougin amman & cranberry-orange-ginger muffin. Everything was DELICIOUS and we hope to be back again for tasting their brunch menu. No wonder my friend's Boston food recommendation list had Tatte at #1!!!

I was here for brunch and got the croissant sandwich. It was as amazing. Perfect combination of herbs eggs and bacon. They are very friendly and will be happy to help you with your order. You order at the cashier and they give you a number to put on your table. They will bring your food for you. Seating is limited, that is my only complaint. Good coffee.

This spot has lots of brunch food options with a lively vibe. Seating can be challenging, especially during peak hours. Wi-Fi is available so you can work from here (be aware there is background music and loud conversations around) 4 star instead of 5 is that they seem to run out of their specialty lattes often. Came to try the sesame latte and pistachio latte and neither was available, which happened during another visit at another Tatte location as well

Popular breakfast spot. Open, bright atmosphere. Staff is not particularly warm, however they're efficient. Ingredients are fresh. Selection of desserts. The bottled orange juice is delicious.

Our visit left much to be desired. The place was extremely crowded, making it nearly impossible to get a table. We sat a the counter/coffee bar, the food was overpriced for what it was--nothing particularly special, it fell short of my expectations.

I am so absolutely in love with Tatte. Over the course of a 4 day visit, we ended up going to various locations three different times (yes, we went overkill). Luckily, this meant I was able to try most of the menu. It's just the best place to pop in for a quick delicious brunch and there are so many items to choose from. My favorite items were the shakshuka (bacon/potato version), croque madame, and croissant sandwich. 1. Croissant sandwich 5/5 Delicious breakfast sandwich 2. Halloumi sandwich 4/5 Didn't like the brioche bread (felt like the bread was too thick) that overpowered the halloumi cheese and egg inside. 3. Traditional shakshukah 4.5/5 I preferred the bacon/potato version since the traditional had stronger red pepper flavor and was more tart. 4. Pear tart 5/5 Very crumbly and buttery crust with a perfectly shaped pear half in the center. Pretty large tart for the price and would highly recommend! 5. Matcha latte 5/5 6. Shakshuka (bacon, potato) 5/5 So deliciously creamy and I'm really glad they give bread to dip into the creamy base. 7. Smoked salmon avocado breakfast sandwich 4.5/5 I wasn't a fan of the thick bread or the greens they put on top but the rest of the sandwich was great 8. Sesame latte 4.5/5 A seasonal item. I wish the black sesame flavor had been stronger 9. Pear juice 4.5/5 Not a must-get but I liked that they offered something unique compared to the typical orange juice or apple juice 10. BLAT 5/5 Really delicious sandwich done perfectly! 11. Prosciutto and Fig Panini Sandwich 4/5 A lot of people online raved about this panini sandwich but I thought it was just alright. I did like that the sweetness of the fig balanced out the savoriness of the prosciutto. I felt like this would taste even better if it were a warmed up panini. 12. Breakfast sandwich 4/5 This was just eggs and bacon on top of bread (I guess I was thinking it would be more of a sandwich with additional toppings) 13. Pistachio croissant 5/5 Perfectly flaky croissant with a strong pistachio flavor! 14. Croque madame 5/5 Really delicious sandwich -- should eat it quickly or else the bechamel sauce makes the croissant soggy. 15. Pistachio latte 4/5 I didn't really taste the pistachio in here and felt like the coffee flavor was a lot stronger. I'm not sure why but I thought this would be milk based without coffee.

The gluten free options are plentiful. The spice profile was a welcome change from the usual fast food They have some GF desserts The chocolate mousse was very light and smooth

Bustling interior Monday at lunch. A few spots to dine in. I got the turkey & avocado sandwich. Fresh, flaky, and light bread with tasty but small portion contents. The combo with the bread was dry. Definitely need 2-3 sandwiches to make it a full meal.

Day dreaming of our first lunch at Tatte and wishing there was a location in Connecticut for us to frequent!! We ordered lunch to go and our sandwiches and salads helped up flawlessly in the to-go packaging. The turkey BLAT and grilled halloumi salads gave us ample protein and nutrients to power through walking the streets of Boston! We won't be able to visit the Boston area without making a Tatte trip from here on out.

Oh Tatte, just take my wallet, why don't you. The shakshuka, blueberry cheesecakes, croissants, and all desserts and pastries here are seriously some of the best Boston has to offer. Even my super picky kid devoured everything here so that says something. I know Tatte has taken over almost every corner of Boston at this point but I kind of love it.

Ordered two breakfast sandwiches, a caramel latte and their orange juice on a Thursday morning. Food and drinks were great and came out quickly. My biggest complaint at this location is the lack of seating available (it was a cold and rainy day so outdoor was not an option.) All of the tables were full and we were standing in the corner when our food was delivered to us. Would have rated higher if we were able to sit down before our food came

I've heard so much about this place from friends that finally, I had to check it out. The coffee was really good, got 2 lattes For breakfast, I had the corn and spinach shakshuka and also, so good- I'd say get this if you go. 10/10 would get again. The service was friendly but because it is a cafe, you order at the from and that's basically all of the interaction you get, which is absolutely fine It's a pretty busy place but it still isn't too loud or too crowded to enjoy yourself. I'd say it's great place to have a casual breakfast or lunch. The pastries also looked amazing and I do regret not grabbing one

Tatte is a trendy and beautifully decorated cafe. We stopped in around 8:30am and the location was very busy. Waited in a line to order and the line moved quickly. Admired all the beautiful pastries while waiting to order. We ordered a chocolate rose, matcha latte, coffee, and two breakfast sandwiches which came to almost $50. I do feel the food and drinks were of decent quality but this is pricey to me. The croque madame was filled with ham. The fresh chives on the mornay sauce made a nice addition. Really helped to make the flavors pop. The main issue I had was service related. It took us a very long time to get our food, which I can understand due to how busy it was. The coffee and latte took even longer to arrive. We got our drinks 10 minutes after our food. I was surprised a simple cup of coffee and matcha latte would take this long. We did reach out to staff prior to this to ask for the coffee but we were told it was not ready. I am happy we gave Tatte a try but I would only come back for pastries. I would check out a different location for breakfast next time we are in Boston.

Can't go wrong getting some yumminess here!!! I love to bring stuff back to Cali so family can get a little taste of my travel experiences. Picked up some goodies and a snack before my flight. Come by and I bet you'll enjoy this place!!!

I probably spent 3 hours on tik tok prior to my work trip looking for a place with gluten free options. Tatte did not disappoint. I was a bit overwhelmed by all the people inside and the menus out were not gluten free. I was able to grab a gluten free menu once I reached the register and didn't want to hold up the line so I quickly ordered the breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread and a matcha latte with oat milk. I noticed that there were also some gluten free pastries that I will have to come back and try. I took my number and sat at the bar. My matcha latte (5/5) was delicious considering it was 90° out. My sandwich came out promptly and it was good, nothing too memorable though (4/5). It is very hard to find places with gluten free options so I was just happy to dine at a place that had one. I would venture back to try other sandwiches and pastries. It is a pretty loud and busy establishment. A lot of tourists and locals working.

Got to know about this chain cafe during my visit to Washington and fell in love with it. So went there two three times during my visit to Boston! One was during my afternoon run (ordered Museli) , one was for breakfast and the last one for lunch. One thing I really love Tatte was that they prepared the food in a clean, simple but creative, and delicious way. Nothing was greasy and lots of healthy stuff on the menu. Besides, the vibe was clean and inviting, with a good design which made the inside look kinda luxurious. The price was not inexpensive but considering the quality of their food it is still deserve trying. The service was not very quick as there was often lots of people in the restaurant--especially during late morning and lunchtime--sometimes I could not even find a seat after ordering at the counter! Needless to say, the outdoor area was also packed with people. So be prepared to see tons of diners if you want to eat there! Otherwise you can always come in at early morning for breakfast--they open at 7am from Mon to Sat!

What a sweet place. Coming from PDX I was enamored by TBC on our Boston visit. We loved it so much we visited 2-3x on a 4 day visit! Try everything. The brownie was particularly missed. Trust. Take one or two to go.

I had never heard of this place before coming to Boston and it lived up to all expectations. We came on a Thursday morning around 10am and were able to order really quickly and find a table! The wait staff was really nice and helpful and the vibes of the bakery were so cute and adorable. I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and it was delicious! I also had a latte with almond milk which was also very tasty. One of my friends got the halloumi sandiwch and really enjoyed it. The other actually got the croissant breakfast sandwich but they were out and they upgraded free of charge to a better sandwich! The 3 of us also shared the Kueg aman which was delicious and flakey and sugary. Overall, the food was really delicious and way better than a Starbucks. Wish we had one in Atlanta!

Absolutely amazing. I was visiting Boston for the first time and wanted a coffee/cafe for breakfast and I was impressed but everything. A little pricey but worth it.

I came here for a casual breakfast before a conference and was pleasantly surprised by vibe! The interior was spacious and bright. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available as well. They offer a variety of pastries, and desserts, as well as dishes for breakfast and lunch. I opted for the shakshuka and a simple iced latte. The shakshuka was served in a large pan, and paired with warm bread. It was such a large portion of food, I couldn't finish it! However, the food was delicious. I loved the food so much, I came back the next day and ordered the breakfast sandwich! Considering how many locations are in Boston, I really appreciated the quality and consistency of the food and service. I look forward to having another meal when I'm back in Boston!

I like how much versatile space there is inside for either study/work or meeting a friend. Food is yummy, drinks are good.

I love tatte. It's one of my go to spots in the Boston area for lunch. It really never gets old because the menu is so big and you can try something new every time. Their drink menu is also super extensive which I like. The interior is beautiful and creates a nice environment. I wouldn't recommend doing work here or hanging out for super long just because it does get really crowded. Although, don't let the line intimidate you because it moves fast. Overall would recommend especially for tourists visiting the area.

Their salmon/egg/avocado sandwich is ADDICTING! Get it! Has a great herb aioli, sprouts, and generous portions of everything! Plus the bread is great and toasted. Super filling every time, food comes out fast, line moved fast, the staff at this location know 1000% what they're doing. I work right upstairs from this location and that is dangerous! I've also tried a bunch of their pastries which have all been very good. Some are much sweeter than others but if you get the chance their halva chocolate chip cookie is one of my favs! Croissants will have better luck at a french spot but not bad here. Coffee is great as well place is always bustling with the breakfast and lunch crowd but such a cute ambiance with a good mix of local folks and tourists. Please clean up after yourselves btw so others can seat quickly!

Best coffee! Food is phenomenal. I seek this place out every time I'm in Boston. They also sell their coffee in whole bean form. I always take some home. It's so smooth. Please open one in Williamsburg, VA.

Great location. The food and coffee is always good from Tatte, but the service at this location is great -- the food and coffee came out very quickly. The Dirty Chai Latte was pretty good. The Smoked Salmon, Avocado, & Egg Sandwich was fantastic.

This is one of the most delicious places ever. In the summer, I stopped by and ordered the chicken pita. I had low expectations, as I had mostly ordered it for the health appeal. But it was positively-mouthwatering. The flavors blended beautifully, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and I felt so satisfied afterwards. Over the weekend, I came again and ordered the same thing. Same beautiful culinary experience. In addition, the cafe is gorgeous, I've never had any issues with service, and they have so many other treats and fun drinks to try!

A good variety of classic and experimental flavours! They do fruit baked goods very well, and the coffee is great as well. The shop itself is very nice but incredibly busy, so best to take things to go i think.

The pistachio croissant I got was excellent, the espresso was good, the place is very Euro white, bright, big windows, comfortable spacing. Many aspects could have been better. There was a long line, and no reason for it. It wasn't that busy, and there were many workers. Many workers visibly not doing anything, or doing whatever they were doing very slowly. The place looked like a slow motion replay ("the play is under further review" "Well let's take a look at from the sideline camera again,"). The counter where we order is separate from where we pick up the espresso, which might seem obvious to a regular, but I was confused. The cashier did not indicate where I should wait for the coffee but eventually I figure it out on my own by watching others. The cashier didn't know what Boston Whoopie Pie, Boston Cream Pie, or Boston style coffee were. O for 3. The cashier takes the order, then she has two runners to get the pastries, and they for sure weren't "running." They ambled slowly while EATING. Both of them. Both of them were eating by hand while working, while getting pastries for customers. I have a very hard time connecting the many effusively positive reviews with this place, I can't fathom it. No hand washing, no hair nets, no masking, no common sanitary food service practices that I could see. And I had plenty time to see. I was charged for a double espresso and I got a single shot. The whole order was put into disposable packaging even though I was going to sit down to drink and eat. It's positively uncivilized to walk while sipping espresso and eating croissant, and it's just so irresponsible to avoid ceramic in favor of adding to the global garbage problem. By the way, the young Dunkin Donuts worker who just immigrated here two years ago from a tea drinking culture already knew how to serve up a cup of coffee Boston style.

Tatte Bakery is perfect for brunch, coffee date, or study and get your work done! The cafe has a wide selection of pastries but I always go for the raspberry cheesecake cups. They are delicious and never disappoints every time I visit for the past six years. I would recommend their Halloumi Sunny-Side Breakfast Sandwich as it is one of my favorite go to brunch food item as well. It is spacious inside the cafe but they also have seats outdoor if you prefer to savor your food and enjoy fresh air outside. Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Experience: 8/10 Value: 8/10

In town for the week at hotel across the street. Ordered red lentil soup. Asked if it was vegan, , got a shrug and when I didn't back down she huffed and walked to the kitchen ( Some product knowledge helpful when taking orders, no? Ordered a turmeric honey latte. No turmeric! Ok fine! No latte! What I got in the to go cup was a pale pale beige blended soup. Couldn't tell if was potato or cream based but it was very clear : This was not red lentil soup. Maybe potato soup? But nary a sign of red or red lentil in the bowl . I should know I make lentil soup frequently, Ugh! Simple lunch made very sad. No thank you. I'll go some place else to eat without the attitude, questionable soup . But seriously someone tell me what that mystery soup was please!!!!
