Tatte Bakery and Cafe – Downtown

Tatte on Summer Street is close to South Station, making it a useful place for breakfast before a train or lunch between errands downtown. Coffee and pastries are an easy order, but the menu extends to sandwiches, salads, shakshuka and rice bowls. You can have a full meal here rather than treating the bakery case as the only choice.

The pastry and dessert selection also makes it a stop for something to bring back to the office or take home. Online ordering is available if you already know what you want. Choose the Summer Street café carefully when ordering, since Tatte has several downtown branches. This location opens daily, but its evening hours are shorter than some of the company’s other Boston cafés.
