Tatte Bakery and Cafe – Downtown (80 Boylston St)

Tatte’s Emerson café on Boylston Street sits just off Boston Common, a convenient stop before a walk through the park or a performance nearby. The bakery case has pastries and sweets, while the café serves coffee and meals. You can make a quick purchase to go or allow time to sit down instead.

The café opens early every day, which gives you an option before many nearby restaurants start serving. It’s also useful for an afternoon coffee when you’ve been walking downtown. Look for the Emerson location at 80 Boylston Street when placing an online order; the other Tatte branches nearby have separate pickup counters and schedules. Check the café’s current hours before planning a late visit, particularly on Sunday.
