Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Coolidge Corner

Tatte offers a good selection of salads and sandwiches that we really enjoy, along with their various pastries and cakes. Recently, however, we have noticed that the cakes that we normally get for the holidays are now more bland and don't have the great flavors that they used to. Couldn't taste any cheese flavor in the cheesecake and they didn't set properly and were too soft. Very disappointing. Will just stick with the salads and sandwiches from now on.

It’s a pretty place, no question. Nice tile, nice bathrooms, everything looks very put together. On looks alone, they’ve clearly got a whole thing going on. That said, the staff are often strangely standoffish and touchy, while also being oddly expectant. You’re clearly supposed to be very pleasant and upbeat, but that energy isn’t exactly returned. The replies can be curt, the tone a little sharp — and then you’re immediately presented with the tip screen. Exhibit A. At a certain point, it’s like: just let me order my overpriced latte and scone and move along without making it a whole emotional exercise. I’m happy to be polite, but the interaction doesn’t need to feel this awkward and transactional at the same time. During COVID, the service was honestly outright rude, so I guess this is an improvement — and yes, it’s been five years, I’ll let that go. Still, the general attitude hasn’t fully recovered. And let’s be honest: this place is expensive. Ten dollars for a brownie is unnecessary. You can call it whatever you want, but that’s still a brownie.

Great food. Gets a bit crowded on the weekends but I've never really had trouble getting a place to sit and enjoy the great food here

Tatte in Coolidge Corner is a high-energy spot with some pros and cons. The service is incredibly fast, which is great if you're in a rush or just need a quick grab-and-go. On the other hand, the atmosphere is loud and consistently overcrowded, which makes it challenging to find a clean table or enjoy a quiet meal. The food is perfectly fine, but what really stands out is the speed and efficiency. Just go in knowing it's not a place for a long, relaxing visit.

Love this location!! Not too crowded, nice and clean interior, and parking isn’t as much of a problem like other locations. Great shakshuka, and their pistachio latte is so fragrant and tasty! Love their freshly baked pastries as well!
