Company History

Tzurit Or, a former film producer who immigrated from Israel to the United States in 2003, began baking family recipes in her kitchen and first sold them in 2007 at the Copley Square Farmer's Market in Boston, Massachusetts. She baked for 20 hours a day to keep up with the demand.

After one summer at the farmer's market, in May 2008, she opened her first brick-and-mortar storefront, Tatte Fine Cookies & Cakes, in the Brookline neighborhood. In 2016, Ron Shaich, founder of Panera Bread, purchased over 50% ownership of Tatte, though the company remains independent.

Tatte Bakery & Café remains committed to its mission of inspiring, caring for, and nurturing life every day, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for all who visit.
