Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Assembly Row
305 Assembly Row, Somerville, MA
Crema's Take
“Tatte Bakery & Cafe in Assembly Row is a warm, welcoming spot that excels as much for its convivial atmosphere and reliably excellent service as it does for its food—think shakshuka, inventive salads, and buttery pastries that justify a lingering visit. Whether you're catching up with friends, settling in with your laptop, or grabbing a quick breakfast panini, the mango ginger tea and roasted cauliflower sandwich have earned genuine fans, though their coffee and pastries are more hit-or-miss than the hype suggests. It's the kind of place where you'll want to stay awhile, especially if you're in the neighborhood and craving something thoughtfully made in a space that actually feels good to be in.”

The tiramisu looked good, but unfortunately the taste didn’t live up to its appearance. I could barely taste the coffee, which is essential. Tiramisu is basically made of a few key elements: sponge cake, mascarpone, coffee, and cocoa powder. If you can’t really feel the coffee flavor, then it’s hard to call it a tiramisu. Based on the dessert alone, I would give it 3 stars. However, their London Fog was amazing, so overall I’m giving this place 4 stars.
A cozy place to hangout with friends, family or study. The service is excellent and the food is good. The mango ginger tea is very good and I recommend the roasted cauliflower sandwich, it is amazing.
Nice environment and friendly staff. The Corn & Spinach Shakshuka was delicious, but the Lamb Meatball and Labneh Shakshuka had too strong of a smell for my taste.
I just did a take out order for Tatte Bakery and cafe since we are staying at The Row hotel near Tatte bakery. We got a prosciutto fig panini , blueberry beet ricotta salad, warm oatmeal, traditional shakshuka, Jerusalem bagel, and a short rib grilled cheese. The prosciutto fig panini and the beet salad are REALLY good. The warm oatmeal was way too sweet for my tastes (the ginger syrup is super sweet). The shakshuka (traditional) was also very good but a bit spicy (which I am a bit allergic to spicy foods). The Jerusalem bagel was dry and just tasted like bread with sesame seeds in it (we didn’t like it much and ended up throwing it out). The short rib grilled cheese was very good (my son devoured it :). We also got several cappuccino’s. Their coffee is VERY good. Overall-all the food is pretty good. Would I go there again ? Yes. But I would probably ask them to put the syrup for the warm oatmeal in the side. Next time I will probably get more cappuccino’s too (they were really good :) update: I went back again but asked them for NO Syrup in the oatmeal (it was 100% better without it)
First coffee spot of 2025! They were open on New Years Day normal hours and we were excited to start 2025 off right with a hot cup of joe and delicious pastries! This was within walking distance of our hotel but we drove over since we were on the way out of town and found free parking in the garage across the street. It was pretty crowded around 1pm when we arrived- must have been the lunch rush- but we didn't wait too long and almost placed an order online for in store pickup but ended up ordering at the counter. We ordered a latte, americano, danish, chocolate chip cookie, and coffee caramel mousse. We were given a number and found a seat at the end of a long communal table. The space is light and bright, open concept, plenty of small two tops and window seating as well. Our drinks took a little longer than expected to come out but they were worth the wait. The caramel mousse was delicious- smooth, creamy, and sweet, and the cookie tasted good too. I'm not a fan of danishes but it was alright! This was an enjoyable place to have our first coffee of the year. Good coffee, good food, standard pricing. I would definitely return to try more food and/or brunch!
