Tatte Bakery & Cafe | City Ridge

I think it's time for Tatte to re-visit their hybrid serving model. It is a combination of counter and waiter service which just leads to confusion and inefficiency. The food is still excellent. The pastries and fruit are fresh and delicious. However, while the warm prepared brunch items are also good, it takes forever to actually get it. Also, once served, it was cold, clearly indicating that it was sitting out for awhile. Look, it is easy to see why this place is popular, but it could be so much better with more efficient service.

I have given this location so many tries and chances, but it’s almost like the servers/food preparers purposely don’t care about getting the order right. I don’t know if it’s plain stupidity or just laziness, but I’ve had to remind the servers multiple times what I ordered, I’ve gotten the wrong order, instructions/order modifications have been ignored. And this is on multiple occasions. They need to be trained better or management needs to rethink their staffing.

Definitely the worst Tatte location I have been so far. I was hesitant to stop by this location because of the other reviews. Well, I can assure you there's a reason for their rating.
The food was bland and things were just not right. Only one person behind the counter taking orders, rushed service, no water left, no utensils, no soap in the restrooms.
If you're expanding, make sure to be consistent!

Tatte at city ridge was OK- food and front end have room for improvement.

Was there at 3 pm on Saturday. Not busy- maybe half full. No wait to place order. Ordered 2 chicken noodle soups and a salad. Person taking my order was a bit hurried / not patient. Seemed to be rushing me. For example— During payments , she bypassed tip screen and when I said I was going to provide a gratuity she said “ sorry, I’m the manager and I’m not accustomed to getting tips”.

Weird- I thought the tips were probably shared and also went to the food runners. You’d think a manager would be fighting to get tips for their team. Oh well.

Food arrived in decent amount of time and was at appropriate temps. Food runner was fantastic- friendly and helpful.

Soup looked great- nice presentation, had beans and lots of vegetables. Unfortunately the rest was a disappointment: very little flavor and virtually no seasonings. I don’t like a lot of salt but this soup required heaps of salt, pepper and some hot sauce. It was obvious that the neither the kitchen crew or management were tasting what was coming out of the kitchen. I’m guessing the soup at the adjacent wegmans hot bar would have been far better. Salad was fine.

Basically- I would not go back to Tatte at city ridge unless there were absolutely no other alternative.

Have eaten at this chain many times but today was disappointing. Cold scrambled eggs on cold, day old bread. Restaurant inside and out also not particularly well kept or clean. Definitely not good value

I really wanted to give this place a good review because the food and drinks are so good. After receiving really rude service while ordering, I spent a half hour at the counter waiting for my order before being told that they messed it up and wanted me to pay for it again. Inside the tables and counters were so dirty and the floors were a slipping hazard because the water jug was leaking and no one bothered to put a towel down or mop it up.
