A Love Letter to Tatte

August 30th, 2025

Dearest Tatte,

It has been an awfully long while since I’ve graced upon your tiled floors, and I know that you could only be awaiting (all of) my money to support your fine establishment. Yet I return with the greatest of news–I have arrived!

After so many hot summer nights in Colorado reminiscing on your shakshuka, dreaming of your labneh, thirsting after your pistachio croissants, I run into your doors like it’s the first time, ogling at your immense pastry selection and chic decorations. It is easy to feel lost in the sea that is Boston cuisine (bars),⁠01 I'm reading this out loud to myself and I'm like 92% sure this rhymes but if not then statement redacted but even with so many options to choose (don’t get me started on our mutual enemy: Flour Cafe.), I of course come straight to you!

In fact, I sat down with a new menu item (spinach, corn, and egg plate) just this morning, grinning like child in a candy shop.

Modern bakery and café with white tiled walls, glass display cases of pastries and drinks, and customers waiting in line near the counter.
A café with checkered floor, a wood counter, and hanging dried herbs. People are ordering drinks, and large windows let in natural light.
A bakery display full of pastries like croissants, pain au chocolat, and pastries dusted with sugar. Warm lighting creates a cozy, inviting ambiance.
Smiling person in a hoodie and cap sits at a café with a plate of food. The scene is bright with urban buildings visible through the window. Warm and casual mood.
me looking greasy asf in tatte just this morning! (shoutout mom for getting the worst angle!)

Although my visit was cut short to direct my mother to the airport, do not fret at the sight of me leaving! It will only be a very short matter of time before I see you again, grabbing an afternoon pick-me-up between my new classes⁠02 new classes blog coming??? or deciding to get out of my dorm⁠03 new room tour blog coming??? between psets for a much needed comfort meal. Here’s to a new year!

xoxo,

aiden
