Tatte Bakery & Cafe

I absolutely love the vibes you get from walking into a coffee shop and catching up with a friend. It’s like you’ve been teleported into the Room of Requirement where THE checklist is checked. The checklist being, MY checklist for coffee shops: 1. Yummy caffeinated drinks 2. Tasty food I can eat while venting 3. Comfortable seating because we’re not going anywhere anytime soon 4. Tables where I can pull out my laptop and get the teeniest amount of work done in order to tell myself this whole vent session was productive 5. Clean bathrooms cause coffee always gets me going! Okay so we got: AVOCADO TARTINE My personal favorite every time I come to Tatte! It’s their house-made sourdough (their bakery is amazing) topped with mashed avocado, baby arugula, dill, radish slices and poached eggs. It comes with a multitude of different herbs, flavors and textures. Ugh, so freaking good could totally have this everyday! Every bite is perfection and it’s also pretty filling. I’m usually full after finishing this off with an iced latte. Delish! BREAKFAST SANDWICH For my chicken tenders and fries kinda girls. Eggs your style (over medium in this case), Vermont cheddar, and applewood smoked bacon on their house-made sourdough. It’s simple, but their fresh ingredients make this delicious! CHOCOLATE CROISSANT Like I said earlier, their bakery is amazing. I always split a chocolate croissant here with my sister because she always wants one of these bad boys. Their croissants are made with four Valrhona dark chocolate batons which are then rolled into their house-made flaky croissant dough. Every bite is so buttery, so flakey and deliciously chocolatey. You gotta have one of these, really takes the edge off the angry vent sessions! ICED PISTACHIO LATTE House-made pistachio syrup topped with espresso and milk. Sounds interesting enough? Love, absolutely love. Wish I could make this at home, but it still probably wouldn’t turn out as good. It’s like pistachios were brewed or steamed (however it works) right into the coffee beans. I’m telling you, if you’re a big pistachios fan like me you’ll love this! Tastes like real pistachios not the simple syrup fake kind. I also get this with oat milk because I am a lactose “sensitive” girly. Could drink this everyday. SMOKED SALMON & AVOCADO TARTINE This is my sister’s go to when we come here. It’s their house-made sourdough that gets toasted and topped with some delicious smoked salmon, chopped avocado, campari tomatoes, red onion, capers (my sister loathes capers so she opted not to get them) and dill tossed with olive oil and their special green herbed dressing. Every bite is so tasty and it’s sooo colorful making it even more satisfying to devour this. Very filling and hits the spot every time. If you haven’t already, you have GOT to check this busy bee place out! It’s cute to catch up here, great for studying with headphones, grabbing a quick bite to eat and it’s the perfect location for showing someone around Boston for the first time! Highly recommend!
