Reviews For Tatte Bakery & Cafe Old Town

Tatte is LOVELY and well situated in Old Town Alexandria. Their beverages are delicious and some the unique flavor combinations are to die for. I’ve never been a huge matcha fan but as craze rages on, my sister convinced me to taste her Rhubarb Spritz Matcha at Tatte and I think I’m a convert. In the past, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed their chais and espresso lattes. We tried two of their breakfast sandwiches on GF bread and...needless to say, we will be going back as they were amazing! The desserts from the bakery (also GF) were some of the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place with plenty of options and delicious food! The only thing that can occasionally be a little off putting is the register but 50% of the time they’re friendly and I get it, you gotta keep the line moving. :)

First time i visited Tatte in DC and fell in love... so I went again to the one in Alexandria closer to my house and still love the coffee and the food. This is my absolute favorite breakfast-brunch spot. Totally worth waiting in the line that is almost always there when I come, Which shows that not only me love this place.

Food was amazing. I wanted one of everything. I am going to have to come back a few time to try all the amazing food. We had the lamb hash, oatmeal and 2 of the sandwiches. The layers of flavors were awesome. Great texture to each dish. I also had the Tatte Latte which was unique and layered with flavors. Not “coffee” Like you know it but more “chai” in flavors.

Atmosphere was enjoyable and coffee was great. Bought two pastries and had to take one home, as they were too big to eat at once.

Upscale, nice, busy Bakery and Cafe. We stayed in Alexandria Old Town for 2 days and both of the day, we loved having breakfast here. Lot of bakery items to choose from Sweet/savory. It was very busy, we sat at coffee bar, super busy, on point coffee and tasty matcha. Apart from bakery they have a menu which can be ordered from. Some Sandwiches, Quiche, Shakshuka, Salad and more. Sourdough bread was great. Some amazing cakes and dessert.

We enjoyed both a delicious latte and drip coffee. Later we decided to have a bite to eat. I highly recommend their ham and cheese quiche. The best I’ve ever had! My husband enjoyed the chicken & vegetable soup. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. A must stop in Old Town!
