Tatte To Open Second Bakery In Brookline

BROOKLINE, MA — In January, Tatte Bakery & Cafe is set to open in JFK Crossing, adding another breakfast and coffee option to the neighborhood where Starbucks recently closed and a second Tatte to Brookline.

In addition to coffee and artisan baked goods (think: almond croissant, tarts and tea cakes), Tatte has an all-day breakfast menu that includes things like the Halloumi sunny side breakfast sandwich on a challah roll ($6.50), muesli with house-made granola and topped with fresh fruit and honey ($6.50 / $9.50). There are tartines like the avocado tartine ($10) and various types of shakshuka ($12.50-$14.50).

Founder Tzurit Or started Tatte Bakery & Café got her start as a pastry chef bringing her creations to Brookline's farmer's market and schlepping it to other area farmer's markets. Then, in 2008 she opened her first brick-and-mortar bakery in Brookline's St. Mary's Neighborhood. Now, more than a decade later, she has a dozen other cafes, including one set to open in Washington D.C. and a deal with Panera.

The new Brookline spot was set to open in the fall of 2019, according to the signs in the window. A Craigslist post advertising jobs, however, indicated the opening was set for January 2020. According to town documents, it's set to seat 60. The space at 420 Harvard Street is located in the new Calvin building that is just wrapping up construction. The luxury apartments above Tatte units start at $2,500, according to Apartments.com.
