Founded by Tzurit Or in 2007, Tatte Bakery began in a home kitchen and at Boston farmers markets before opening its first café in Brookline, Massachusetts. What started as a small neighborhood bakery has grown into a beloved brand with cafés throughout Greater Boston, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and now the Tri State area. While each café has its own unique personality, all are rooted in the same original spirit of Tatte: a welcoming place to gather, feel at home, and find inspiration, comfort, and joy.
