Tatte Bakery & Cafe has opened a new Falls Church location, bringing its expansive selection of pastries, meals, seasonal drinks and coffee to the Falls Church-McLean area.

Founded in 2007 as a farmers market stall, Tatte has grown into a prominent bakery-cafe chain across the Northeast.

The Falls Church cafe aims to offer nearby residents a cozy place for coffee, pastries and full meals.

Chicken Pita Sandwich — 8.5/10

The chicken pita sandwich makes a satisfying lunch without feeling overly heavy. Juicy, well-seasoned chicken is paired with vegetables and creamy sauces, creating a balanced mix of flavors and textures.

The pita stays soft in the center while remaining crisp around the edges. It also holds the filling without becoming soggy, helping the sandwich feel both hearty and fresh.

White Peach & Mint Cooler — 9/10

The seasonal white peach and mint cooler combines house-made peach-mint syrup, Golden Green Tea and fresh mint leaves.

Sweet peach flavor leads the drink without tasting artificial, while the mint adds a cooling finish suited to a hot summer day. The green tea brings an herbal note and keeps the cooler from becoming excessively sweet.

Tiramisu — 9.5/10

The tiramisu stands out among the cafe’s desserts. Its mascarpone cream provides a rich, smooth base, complemented by espresso-soaked layers with a distinct coffee aroma.

A dusting of cocoa completes the dessert. Despite its richness, the tiramisu is not overly sweet, allowing its coffee and creamy mascarpone flavors to remain prominent.
