Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Capitol Crossing

It is pretty pricey for what it is, and it gets so busy that sometimes instead of waiting I just go to the convenience store down the block for caffeine.

Disrespectful and lazy counter. Likes arguing with customer instead of assisting them. Incident happened 12/13/25 around 1:30pm. Definitely not coming back to this location!

Wait staff acted like complete bots and were extremely awkward. Coffee was good I’ll give them that.
I ordered the salmon bowl though and the salmon was legit raw on the inside. My boyfriend’s chicken bowl was half cold too. Good flavors but chicken was dry.
Go somewhere else and don’t waste time going here if you’re traveling!

I did not have a good experience in this location of Tatte that I had in another and am quite disappointed... Here is what I experienced, below:

- There was no coffee/ coffee taste at all in the tiramisu

- only three servings of falafel in dish (why was there more pita than actual meat here??) -- but the pickled vegetables were tasty, wish I had more on the plate...

-waiter spilled latte when bringing to table, put her fingers on all the regions of the mug where the customer could drink from...

-VERY Hot London Fog tea.. which came in a take-out cup when we were eating in ?? And the tea itself tasted weak (like it was made from a used tea bag)

- there was a chef(?) in the kitchen who was looking at a customer's computer through the window into the seating area??
--> he was eating food from the kitchen/on his phone not disclosing it...??

-- The Shakshuka brought to our table had **Already Boiled** eggs in it... this is NOT how it should be made... I hope the chefs are taught how to actually make a shakshuka in the future...

I am sad that I had this poor experience here, I love this small chain that is spreading, but hope that all locations receive proper training on etiquette and how dishes are made.

The young man at the register was very patient with me as I could not make my mind. I ended up ordering the hummus a short rib with eggplant. The food was delicious and great customer service.

First, I want to say- I love TATTE, but this location- don’t waste your time!! 250 Massachusetts AVE, NW.

The shakshuka served had hard boiled eggs and when I returned it, the manager was unapologetic, just took it back and didn’t care about a customer.

We’ve tried to order a London fog tea and it was not the usual drink. Took about 15 min for the staff to find it and when served it was not the tea we always get.

Bottom line- visit other Tatte locations but this one— a NO GO!

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.

My friend and I visited Tatte recently and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The employee named Everlyn gave us a noticeably bad attitude while we were placing our order. We first asked for the mozzarella tomato flare bread, which she entered into the system before saying, “anything else.” When my friend asked if it could be warmed up, she rolled her eyes and repeated, “anything else.” From that point onward, every item we requested was met with attitude. She even made us go look up the exact name of the item we wanted to order.

We asked her directly why she was giving us attitude, and she replied, “I don’t have an attitude” — but in a tone that clearly did. I told her that the way she said it came across as attitude. At that point, we decided to cancel our order and leave.

The sad part is that our whole team from work used to come here often, but after this experience we’ll need to find a new place. We enjoy Tatte’s food and atmosphere, but customer service is just as important, and this interaction left a negative impression. I hope management addresses this.

Everything was great

Try a different location and still the pastries were overcooked, bland and I saw several cockroaches in the bathroom… God knows what the kitchen looks like

Bring back the ginger date oat milk latte-there are VERY few things that are vegan(no pastries at all) and don’t have coffee. That was the best drink! The pumpkin seasonal is not good at all when compared to the date and ginger oatmilk latte that did NOT have espresso. Typically the staff is nice but when asking about it the woman was horribly rude.

The café is nice, but my experience was ruined by the attitude of one of the staff. I went to take a napkin from a table, and the employee hit my hand and told me to take it from another table. The tables were all close together, and it wasn’t clear which one I was supposed to use. I didn’t like how that was handled — it really affected my overall impression.
