Apr 2024:We purchased our favorite treats, and the final scores are as follows: cookie 2/5 and fruit tart 2/5. Overall, this place is overhyped and expensive. The cookie was dry, and the addition of more walnuts detracts from the richness of the oatmeal cookie. As for the fruit tart, the custard was bland, and the crust was extremely hard, making it difficult to consume with its design. I appreciated that they didn't add extra sugar glaze on top since the fruit alone provides sufficient sweetness. However, it's evident that the fruit lacked flavor – it's best to use fruits that are in season. This batch was too early in the season to shine in flavor.The service of getting the treats was also confusing they have a booth to get them while in line but no one was able to help for a bit, the line moved fast and retrieved treats thereafter.Atmosphere is quite loud and very popular if you’re looking for intimacy recommend other locations. Or come during slow hours.

The food is delicious, but the best of all is the attention of the cashiers.

It is very busy at noon on weekdays, but there is no shortage of seats. It feels like everyone is enjoying their leisure time amidst the noise.The food is delicious, there is a gluten friendly menu, there is no vegan food (you can adjust it yourself without adding anything), and you can't just make egg white.

Tatte is an incredible bistro, with a wide range of menu options all executed extremely well. If you plan on visiting, do keep in mind that you seat yourself, so you may need to hover for a while in order to find a table- especially in the winter.

Nice treat to find a Kouign Amann on the menu and they do it quite well!

So the space is cute but that's about the end of the good. It's packed, bathrooms weren't the cleanest, staff were rude (although that might be because the place is so full), prices are high for the quality. I've heard good things about the food but haven't tried it myself. The pistachio latte had fairly large bits of pistachio so it had a gritty texture as well as a kind of funky taste. I would go elsewhere.

Best matcha latte I had in the Boston area. Pretty packed, but for good reason.

This place is absolutely swamped! We ordered some food and drinks, the tumeric and honey latte with oat milk was delicious. The baristas were quite curt, but I don't blame them. It felt like absolute hell watching them complete all the in-person and online orders.Food looked a little plain but was quite tasty.

Always busy, always good. Sipping an oat milk matcha latte here while snacking on one of their delicious pastries or the croque monsieur is always a nice reprieve from academic life.Anytime I am invited to a dinner party I drop by to get one of their pretty cakes. They box and bow tie them so that together with a few cut flowers I always have an easy gift for the host. So nice!
