    Gosh, I really really wanted to give them five stars. Instead, here is a very thorough review of why this is not so.
    After three tries to produce a hot Cortado, they were all somehow a little bit colder than the first. The pastries are great though!

    I came in here last year and really enjoyed the gorgeous pastry offerings. and whimsical holiday pastries and cookies. We lived in the neighborhood for many years, so each year we revisit.

    Then I recently visited in October 2025. It was just a few blocks from our house (we were on a home swap, so we had an extended stay, and I was here quite a bit). Each day I would walk down the hill for my morning coffee and pastry here.
    Each time I would order a cortado. The first time it was Lukewarm, but by no means warm. So the second time I asked for a “extra hot” and it was even less hot than the first time. And this continued to the point where it was so lukewarm at some point that if it was bathwater I would say it was a little bit chilly. I’m not exaggerating. And every time I said ‘extra hot’ they seem to compensate by not actually producing an extra hot drink, but instead putting in less cream/milk. So at some point, I was just looking at a macchiato. It was lukewarm espresso with just a bit of foam on top. No longer even a Cortado. And still, lukewarm. Why did I keep coming back? Part of me was hopeful that one day they would fix it, and also, the pastries are exquisite! The croissants are some of the best in town. And one day I had a croissant with some cheese and some meat in it and it was sublime! So I love the pastries, and I really want this to be my café when I am in town. But I just need my coffee to be warm. Not scalding, not hot. But at least warm.

    Tatte Bakery is simply amazing. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the aroma of fresh-baked goods that look as good as they taste. Their croissants are perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious, and the coffee is rich, aromatic, and consistently excellent.

    What makes it even better is its close proximity to the park — the perfect spot to grab something to go and enjoy a crisp fall day outdoors. Tatte truly delivers on both quality and charm.

    I’m visiting from out of town, and was a little hesitant when I saw that this looks to be a chain around the city. I couldn’t be more wrong. This location is so incredibly cozy, and the staff working this morning (1/8) was very friendly. I sat here for a while journaling and enjoyed my hot drip coffee and pastry. I will be back next time I’m in town!

    Tatte, simply delicious.

    Pictured: Pulled Turkey Sandwich (6/10) + Crème Pesto Mushroom Sashuka (100000/10)nnLocation/Ambiance: Honestly if it’s the weekend try to avoid this specific location just because you’ll probably not going to find a seat/table anywhere.

    It’s a cute location, not modern in design like other Tatte locations. Super cute/cozy!

    Coffee was excellent. Turkey avocado sandwich was tasty, but the BLAT sandwich was the star—so fresh, flavorful, and made with great ingredients. The treats and sweets looked beautiful, though I didn’t try them this time—maybe next visit. The vibe was amazing, busy, and lively. We were there at noon on a weekday and loved it!
