Tatte Bakery & Cafe

I came here twice in one day and a total of 4 times in my short DC trip. They have so many GF dessert options and can make their breakfast sandwiches on GF bread. I got their classic breakfast sandwich and it was so good! I also tried their tea cakes, strawberry and pistachio. Both were lovely! I wasn’t a fan of the chocolate muffin. It tastes like it had raisins or apples in it, something about it didn’t work for me. I didn’t eat it all. I got the chocolate mousse cake. AMAZING!! I had such a hard time deciding because everything looked incredible. There were 6-7 GF options for dessert alone, almost half the case was GF! I will say that some of the GF items were stacked on the same display plates as non-GF items, I chose not to get those items because they were clearly cross contaminated. But I only saw one GF item like that. I have a pretty significant gluten intolerance and had no reaction eating here. I will 100% always come back when in DC. Plus their coffee is really great too. 10/10!

Not great for celiacs. Sandwich with gf bread was really good but I felt quite sick after. I’m guessing they don’t take cross contact too seriously.

I had the shakshuka with gf bread. Did not get sick (I have celiac). Baked gf goods are in the same display as non gf goods so this worried me a little. Also, they bake in the same oven.

Grabbed a quick cookie for breakfast before walking through Boston Common. They have several GF options. They are all displayed with the gluten items so there could be risk of cross contamination.

I had a wonderful experience here yesterday with bakery items. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked it so much. I brought my husband back today for breakfast. He enjoyed his regular food while I enjoyed my gluten-free food. It was so good I had to get some bakery items to go.

They have gluten free items in the same display case as items that contain gluten. Sometimes they’re even touching. Cross contamination is a huge issue and they don’t understand the basics at all.
