Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Newton Centre

We chose this place for Sunday brunch because it was close to our Airbnb and we are glad we did! It was very busy but the food tasted delicious and their espresso bar made us some high quality lattes (and we are coffee snobs from Washington state, so we don’t say this lightly). The atmosphere was classy and the dishes/pastries were a French Mediterranean cuisine. I love my eggs with ricotta, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and sautéed spinach on bread. We would 100% recommend!

Drinks: The drinks can take about 5-7 minutes to make. Matcha latte - It is milky and rich. I like that it is not obviously sweetened like Starbucks, but you can add your own sweeteners from their offerings. Mocha - It is smooth, dark, and also not sweetened. Tatte house latte - the honey halva latte, is their unique offering. They use a house-made halva syrup, which tasted semisweet and definitely nutty. It isn't something I would order on a regular basis because it doesn't suit my tastes, but it is different from the usual if you're looking to try something new. While they don't provide the option explicitly, I was able to ask for half decaf when I went late in the afternoon. Only 12 oz drinks fit into their mugs. You will get a paper cup instead of you order a 16 oz drink or order to go. Food: I only tried a brownie once. It was decent, but I didn't think it was anything special. All of their brownies are flourless. Atmosphere: This place can be rather noisy from people talking if it's very busy. You can still hear your own conversation. They also play music quietly. There is plenty of seating and open space, but it does still get packed at peak times. Service: Service has always been excellent each time I've been here. If you're dining in, they give you a number on a stand to take to your seat of choice and they will look for you when your order is ready.

Tatte Bakery is not only our must-visit spot but also a place for souvenirs. Every pastry in the window looks extremely attractive. We would like to try them all if there is one Tatte Bakery in our neighborhood. We got their Almond Croissant and Latte to share as breakfast. At the same time to have 2 bags of granola & 6 pastries to go.

Food is incredible but tables are first come first served, so it’s not an ideal place for a large group. It’s easy enough to find a table for 2-3, but groups larger than that may have to split up if you want to sit. I recommend, um, EVERYTHING. Desserts are high quality and the smoked salmon avocado sandwich and chicken salad sandwich are amazing. But the GF bread is stale about half the time (Tatte, can you fix that?!)

Delicious coffee and bakery items. Speedy and courteous staff. That is the reason this place earned two stars. For instance the breakfast dishes we ordered had a terrible taste to it. For reference, we ordered a biscuit and eggs and the lamb hash. The worst part of all was the clientele. This location seems to draw in the most entitled and disrespectful population. We have visited many other equally busy coffee shops with still an enjoyable atmosphere. People yell at you for taking there spot as they are at the cashier. The coffee and baked goods are delicious but not worth the low living people who also frequent Tatte.
