Tatte Bakery and Cafe (Kendall Square)

Serving the MIT and biotech corridor around Kendall Square from 318 Third Street, this Tatte location is a daily staple for Cambridge's research and tech community. The menu follows the chain's established format of handmade pastries and savory Israeli-inspired breakfast plates, with espresso drinks executed to a consistently high standard. The accessible ground-floor location and practical hours make it one of the more functionally important specialty coffee options in this rapidly developing part of East Cambridge.
