Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Capitol Crossing
250 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This beloved Capitol Crossing spot excels at creating a warm, vintage-tinged refuge where you'll find genuinely excellent pastries, breads, and breakfast items displayed with bakery-case care. The cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering over coffee with a friend or settling in with your laptop, though arriving during off-peak hours helps you actually snag a seat in this perpetually buzzing neighborhood favorite. Service tends to be attentive and friendly here, and the traditional coffee drinks pair beautifully with their thoughtfully crafted food menu.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.
