"I used to visit the Brookline location every week when I lived in Boston in the early 2000s, so was thrilled when I noticed a larger Tatte in Cambridge near where we're staying on this trip in 2022. Sadly, the new location doesn't exceed my memories. It's no longer a pastry shop, and now more of a restaurant. I'm excited about their success to achieve that, but the layout makes it very echo y which makes it very loud and hard to hear your own conversations. On this trip we visited twice. Once I ordered a hallumi sandwich with the Tatte Latte iced, the other I ordered a pistachio croissant and oat milk latte hot. The hallumi was a bit bland and the rest of the sandwich was OK, the iced coffee very nice if you fancy something sweet! The pistachio croissant filling was lovely, but the pastry wasn't a croissant in the traditional sense it's over baked and the pasty has gone hard and stiff, except for where the filling is. The filling is delish and that saved the pastry, but I wouldn't pick it again. The oat milk latte is nice as well, but seems a bit weak (probably because it's a 12oz so has a *lot* of milk compared to what I'm used to in the UK . 4* because the decor looks nice (even if it's very echoey! , the coffee is good by American standards, the staff are friendly and there are plenty of options for different diets."
