Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Capitol Crossing

Great food! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Only thing is you have to go at an off peak hour because it’s so full with people on laptops, so it can be hard to get a table and gets loud. Not a reliable place to take a meeting. But if you go at a time that avoids the lunch rush it’s amazing.

Having breakfast here is definitely a great choice, especially if you’re coming with someone special. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a cozy, vintage atmosphere—simple, clean, and full of charm. It felt like stepping into a romantic little café in an old movie. We sat by the window, sunlight pouring in, sipping on some seriously good coffee—it was rich, smooth, and felt like the kind of coffee that could fix your whole day. The food was simple but satisfying, perfect for a slow morning together. The only thing I wish was better? The restroom. It’s really tiny and a bit too cramped for comfort. A little more space (and maybe a mirror with soft lighting?) would definitely make it feel more welcoming. But overall, it’s a lovely spot for a breakfast date. We left with full bellies and happy hearts.

Typically I don’t leave reviews but great customer service always deserves recognition. I want to give a big shoutout and thank you to Tatte especially the 250 Massachusetts Avenue NW location i order every now again— OBSESSED with the BLAT. Today I ordered pick up but I meant to order Delivery. I called the store and im so mad I didn't catch the name of the woman I spoke to but IF YOU’RE SEEING THIS THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS she stated that she couldn’t switch it to delivery but she can cancel and refund me and i can reorder for delivery. Thats not even what made my day. Just the simple kind gesture of a small note in my bag really did it in for me. You don't get this type of care anywhere and thats simply just her character. Again something so small but it’s really the small things that make the biggest impact!! Anyways try the BLAT the Museli is THICK but delicious with some honey added and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TRY THE DARN CHEESECAKE CUPSSSSS

Tatte Bakery & Cafe has simple but beautiful interior. The breads, pastries, and cakes are displayed in an organized way, allowing customers to have a clear view of the selection. I got the plain, chocolate, and pistachio croissants, kouign-amann, and iced ginger-date oat milk latte. The pastries tasted good. They had good flakiness and were buttery. My drink had strong ginger taste than date. It was not bad. The bakery gets crowded and busy fast. I would come back here again.

I’m really shocked by how many brunch choices there are to choose from on their menu! They have an assortment of desserts and pastries showcased by the register, and a designated coffee bar. There is an ample amount of cafe style seating as well! I ordered the short rib and eggplant over couscous, and my bf got the croquette madam. Both are exquisite. Our coffees were also amazing; I had an iced vanilla oatmilk latte, and my bf had a mocha (which has real chocolate melted in!). This is definitely a spot worth checking out!

Visiting from NYC - Love this place. The corn and spinach shakshuka was simply delicious. So rich yet so refreshing. Also love the breakfast sandwich. Iced latte was really good too. The restaurant is beautiful. Lots of window and sunlight. Will definitely come back if I’m in DC again.

A very nice bakery and cafe! I had the spiced shrimp salad with a Tatte House Latte - both were very good! I took home a pastry that was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cute and more upscale but still very casual and inviting. Plenty of people were enjoying a latte and working in the cafe. Would definitely recommend!

I recently visited Tatte Bakery and was immediately struck by how beautiful the place is! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for a cozy meal or coffee break. I ordered a flatbread and a soup, and both were really delicious. The flatbread had a perfect balance of textures, and the soup was comforting and well-seasoned. I also appreciated that they offer complimentary water, which is a nice touch.
