Tatte Bakery Menu Prices 2026: Shakshuka, Burekas & Espresso Drinks

Shakshuka at Tatte Bakery & Cafe is $14.99 as of May 2026 — the classic version with poached eggs in spiced tomato-pepper sauce with feta and challah bread, served in a cast-iron skillet. The baked shakshuka with merguez lamb sausage is $15.99. Shakshuka is Tatte's most-ordered savory dish and the item most commonly associated with the brand. It's typically available all day at Tatte, not just for brunch — which is one of the things that distinguishes Tatte from Americanized brunch spots.

A burek (also spelled burekas) is a flaky pastry from the Sephardic Jewish and Middle Eastern baking traditions — phyllo or puff pastry dough folded around a savory filling and baked golden. At Tatte, burekas are priced at $5.99–$6.49 each, with fillings including cheese (feta + ricotta, $5.99), potato ($5.99), spinach & cheese ($6.49), and za'atar ($5.99). The cheese burek is the most popular. They're typically eaten warm and work as a snack, breakfast item, or a lunch anchor with coffee. A 3-piece platter with labneh and salad is $15.99.

The Kouign Amann ($4.49) is a Breton pastry from Brittany, France — puff pastry or laminated bread dough folded repeatedly with butter and sugar, then baked in a round until the bottom caramelizes into a crackly, sweet-salty crust. The name means 'butter cake' in Breton. Tatte's version is one of the best-reviewed in the Boston area — the exterior is lacquered and crunchy, the interior soft and layered. It's a good barometer of a bakery's laminated-dough skill and one of the most distinctive pastries on Tatte's menu alongside the burekas.

Tatte was founded in 2007 by Tzurit Or, an Israeli immigrant who moved to Boston and began selling her baked goods at farmers markets before opening the first Tatte cafe. The menu is Israeli-inspired — shakshuka, labneh, sabich (the fried eggplant pita), Israeli salad, burekas, rugelach, and za'atar all reflect the Israeli kitchen. The espresso program, croissants, and European pastries (kouign amann, pain au chocolat) reflect the Parisian-cafe influence. The combination is what makes Tatte distinctive: it's not a traditional American bakery or a purely Israeli restaurant, but a specific synthesis of those traditions.

Coffee prices at Tatte: Latte $5.49, Cappuccino $5.49, Iced Latte $5.99, Cold Brew $5.49, Cortado $4.99, Matcha Latte $6.49, Drip Coffee $3.49, Espresso single $3.99. Tatte uses a high-quality house espresso blend and pulls fresh shots — coffee quality is consistently cited alongside the pastries as a reason to visit. Non-dairy milk (oat, almond, soy) available at most locations, typically with a small upcharge.

Tatte Bakery & Cafe operates about 30 locations as of 2026, primarily in three markets: Greater Boston, MA (10+ locations including Cambridge, Brookline, Fenway, South End, and more), Washington DC (multiple locations in DC proper and the suburbs), and New York City (select Manhattan locations added 2022–2024).

Tatte is known for thoughtfully designed cafe spaces; store interiors vary but typically feature natural wood, open kitchens, and warm lighting.

The Sabich ($13.99) is one of Tatte's signature savory items. Sabich is a classic Israeli street food — a pita stuffed with fried eggplant, hard-boiled egg, Israeli salad (diced tomato, cucumber, parsley), tahini, hummus, and amba (a tangy pickled mango sauce). The combination was popularized by Iraqi Jewish immigrants to Israel in the 1940s and 50s. Tatte's version is vegetarian and typically served open-faced or in a warm pita. For guests who haven't encountered amba before, it's the most distinctive flavor in the sandwich — slightly sweet, tangy, and spiced.

Yes — Tatte is widely regarded as one of the best brunch options in the cities it operates in (Boston, DC, NYC). The core reasons: shakshuka is served all day (not just weekend mornings), the pastry selection is genuinely excellent (croissants, burekas, kouign amann, rugelach), and the espresso program is well above average for a bakery-cafe. Weekend mornings typically have a wait at popular locations, particularly in Boston's Cambridge, South End, and Fenway locations. Most Tatte cafes do not take reservations — arrive early or budget for a 15–30 minute wait on weekend mornings.
