Really nice, airy cafe on campus at GW. High ceilings and lots of light.

Excellent bunch selection. Although the seasonal Date Latte is just way too sweet. More like 4.5 stars.

Great atmosphere for studying or working! But the coffee is bland

Based on my bad experience at the Tate on 14th Street and U Street, I feel I owe this site a review. I have been here countless times both alone and with my GW students. The service and management are very good; the drinks are hot as requested, and there is much care to make all customers feel welcome. I do appreciate it. I do recommend this location.

WHY is the fire alarm SO close to the seat area by the front door?? Kids will play with this, anyone can accidentally pull the fire alarm causing unnecessary disturbance for our firefighters. Consider removing the seating *so* close to it or moving the fire alarm to a more appropriate location

This place is really nice for brunch, co-working or only for a coffee. We’ve been this morning and the food was good, I had a sandwich (gluten free) avocado salmon and eggs, but the must drink is this pistachio latte! They produce their own pistachio syrup and this drink was amazing!
Negative point is that if you order others drinks like cappuccino you’ll drink in the paper cup and the taste will be different, but that’s their policy

You can never go wrong with Tatte. This popular Mediterranean-inspired cafe has been spreading across the DMV like wildfire, and for good reason. Their drinks, pastries, and meals / entrees are all outstanding -- I've been to or ordered from Tatte more times than I can count, and I've been impressed each and every time.

For coffee, you can't go wrong with any of their espresso classics, but they also have an outstanding matcha latte -- arguably one of the best in DC -- or, if you prefer a sweeter drink, the honey halva latte is a lovely, dessert-like treat.

Every single one of their pastries is near perfection, but I love their classic chocolate croissant -- it's super flaky, with a gorgeous lamination and beautifully glossy, slightly crispy exterior. If you need something that's easy to share with a ton of people, I love their cranberry pistachio shortbread; these mini cookies are delightfully buttery and almost addictive with the combination of nuts and sweet, tangy fruit. They have an expansive gluten-free menu, and everything is so expertly crafted that you'll never have any idea that they're gluten-free. The brownies are spectacularly rich and luxurious, and the halva brownie is especially decadent. I'm also obsessed with their tea cakes, which are the perfect size for a small, mid-day pick-me-up; the sesame one is particularly tasty, as it's not too sweet and has a delightful nutty aroma.

Then, of course, there's the entrees. Again, Tatte manages to deliver the best quality items each and every time. The shakshuka is outstanding and incredibly flavorful, their bowls and salads are all phenomenal -- although my favorites for a weekday / work lunch have to be the salmon farro bowl and green and nutty salad -- and they have outstanding sandwiches. Tatte's entrees do trend toward the heavier and more decadent side so they might put you in a bit of a food coma, but that's also what makes their food so spectacular. They also have a great gluten-free selection within the entrees, which I really appreciate.

Given how great their food is, Tatte is absolutely packed at nearly all hours of the day. The staff is super friendly and will do their best to help you find a spot, but you should be prepare to potentially take your order to go.

I was interrupted by an associate named Delonta when I was eating by asking to pay for my pastry.
I said, "Of course, I have already paid. There was no way for me even to grab without paying. Cashier assisted me, and I paid cash. "
He said (without any apologies for inconvenience) that their POS machine still notifies that order is unpaid. I said:"Yes, because I paid cash."
He said (by speaking very arrogant and indifferent to the situation) that he doesn't know what happened, but it is unpaid in their system.
I immediately finished my breakfast, and I walked back to the cashier.
We figured out that my money was still sitting at the register (someone could easily steal it).
All this situation says about the unprofessionalism of these two people.
Cashier (I used to work at customer service positions, and I know that) had to ask:"Are you paying cash or card?". I didn't use a card at all, why their system waiting for the transaction? Why did she not pay attention that the order was unpaid before I left the register?

Associate Delonte (he told that he is a manager later) first had to speak to the cashier prior to speaking to the customer (she was not aware of what happened when we asked her). If he had asked cashier first, they could have found my money before interrupting me.

The manager can not act this way.
I was surprised that after we figured out what happened, he didn't even apologize for the inconvenience and put a blame on me by saying that it was my fault. What is nonsense!
Cashier can not finish transaction until makes sure otder is paid

We came in here looking at the menu with some interesting options. This branch is located around the university region so it's kinda busy.

However, we were disappointed to see they were out of stock on multiple options on their menu, including hot chocolate. This was at 11 am in the morning on a Sunday- I wasn't expecting to run out of most options so early in the day.

The coffee was good, but served kinda cold. The cafe has some interesting options but I wouldn't recommend this location.

The place is cute and has a nice aesthetic. The pastries look (and the ones we tried were) yummy and the service is extremely friendly and attentive. However, the coffee tasted burned and sour (maybe the wrong almond milk), and even when the food arrived pretty quickly it was already cold. Don’t expect food to have much of a taste, but it is very photogenic! Lastly, I do not recommend to dine in: the staff does not control the seating situation, so if it is a busy time you’ll spend half your visit wondering around for a table. Spent around $80 for 3 people, I don’t think we’ll be back for breakfast but may go for pastries.
