Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Bethesda

"Tatte? No way! Rudest management in the business. You start in line ordering food, then shuffle in circles to find seating for 3 people. There’s several patrons lingering on laptops and no seating options. Observing the adjacent business lobby is open with seating just outside the shared door with Tatte, inquiry is made with security if Tatte patrons may seat there - yes! Success, seating for 3 found. Not so fast! Inside a server mentions they do not check that area for dishes. It’s okay, we are happy to bring them back. Then conversation continues amongst two of us at the bar awaiting food. When we start to collect it, the person to my right interrupts the conversation, making no identification of herself, and proceeds to tell us we cannot take dishes next door. When we tell her security was fine with it. She insists Tatte doesn’t allow it and then says, may WE get you to go containers? At this point, now I see she works for Tatte. I say no, get my son from next door, find a stool on the other side of the counter and plop it on the end at the bar. We eat at the bar, so seating did eventually work out. Mind you not everyone could enjoy drinks as the came out when made and not together. Conversation with my party is limited because the place is loud and we are at a bar. I proceed to watch this rudest manager with no customer interaction skills indulge in food, allow her and another to consume a full side of the bar for patrons search for seats, she bark orders to employees actually working on their feet behind the counter, and not give two cents care about how she treats customers. It’s a good thing I ate my last meal here at the counter. The sourdough bread in the egg dish would’ve broken plastic to-go utensils it was so hard. It’s a day later and I’ve found much friendlier eateries, with plenty of seating, great food, better management and better mochas nearby. So long Tatte! I refuse to support a business that hires the kind of management you employ. I suggest signage be revised on the door to KINDLY inform patrons not to take dishes next door. I suppose they can be taken outside though at the tables though?"

"I stop here at least once every time I visit a friend who lives nearby. It's by far our favourite. Every item on the menu is well thought out and absolutely delicious. This time the standouts were the quiche and the sweet French toast but I don't think you can go wrong!"

"I love Tatte. It’s my dream atmosphere and menu. Some items are better than others but I always enjoy myself when I come here and am quick to return. A few callouts: The shakshuka is delicious. It could have a richer more authentic flavor but otherwise I love it. The ricotta and peaches toast (seasonal) is delicious. But hard to eat because of size and bites and stiff crust. The prosciutto and fig panini is good but not my favorite. Lacked in flavor to be honest. The prosciutto and ricotta toast is also delicious. But again, hard to eat. Love coming here!! A female foodies ideal."

"Super busy, I can tell it's usually popular. I didn't particularly enjoy my food but the lamb hash my better half got was amazing! Good little pastries and yogurt as well. Service was alright, they're definitely a bit rushed in there and I can tell."

"Love the variety of vegetarian options this place offers. We got the house latte, mocha and cappuccino. I loved the house latte, also called honey halwa latte, with its unique flavor which keeps you wanting for more. The traditional shakshuka has the perfect amount of creaminess and tangy flavor and the bread served with is delicious. I will be coming back soon to try the other brunch options on the menu."
