🇺🇸 Tatte Bakery & Cafe, Boston specialty

🥐 Tatte Bakery & Cafe: Boston’s Beloved Staple—Brunch, Pastries, and That Iconic Pistachio Latte They say Tatte is Boston’s “local (specialty),” and after a visit, I get why. With locations all over the area, we opted for the Wellesley spot—spacious, stylish, and with a sunny outdoor patio (perfect for people-watching). Here’s what made it worth the hype. 🍳 Brunch Hits Shakshuka with Lamb Meatballs: 🥘 A standout. Rich, tomatoey stew with poached eggs, spiced just right, and tender lamb meatballs adding depth. It’s hearty, flavorful, and feels like a cozy hug in a bowl. Avocado & Smoked Salmon Sandwich: 🥑🥪 Fresh, bright, and satisfying. Creamy avocado, silky smoked salmon, and a soft, toasty bun—no fancy frills, just good ingredients shining. Seasonal Strawberry-Peach Chicken Salad: 🍓🍑 Light and refreshing. Juicy fruit, tender chicken, and a zesty dressing that ties it all together. Perfect for a warmer day. 🧁 Sweets & Sips Pistachio Latte: 🌰 The star. Nutty, creamy, and not too sweet—pistachio flavor is bold but balanced with espresso. It’s easy to see why it’s a signature. Pastries & Cakes: 🧁 The display case is dangerous—flaky croissants, colorful tarts, and cute mini cakes. Tried a few; all were buttery, fresh, and photogenic (no surprise there). Pistachio Bread: 🥖 Dense, moist, and packed with nutty flavor. Great for snacking later (if you can resist eating it all at once). ✨ The Vibe Chic, airy, and welcoming. The Wellesley location has ample seating (indoor and patio) with modern, minimalist decor—think white walls, greenery, and natural light. It’s busy but not chaotic, making it ideal for brunch, work sessions, or casual hangs. Tatte lives up to the “Boston staple” title. It’s consistent, delicious, and has that “I’m treating myself” feel without the stuffiness. Check the menu online before you go (they rotate seasonal items!), and arrive hungry. 📍 Tatte Bakery & Cafe (Wellesley location—find one near you; they’re everywhere!) #BostonBrunch #TatteBakery #LocalFaves
