the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, Tatte Bakery & Cafe, the beloved café chain known for its Mediterranean-inspired menu and artisanal atmosphere, has officially opened its first New Jersey location at 222 East Ridgewood Avenue, taking over the former Jos. A. Bank storefront.
The expansion into Ridgewood marks the 45th location for the Boston-born brand, which has steadily grown its presence across Massachusetts, Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
🥐 From Farmers Market Stand to Cult Cafe Brand
Founded in 2007 by Israeli-born pastry chef Tzurit Or, Tatte began as a small farmers market stand in Boston. Driven by a passion for fresh, scratch-made baking and imaginative flavors, the brand quickly grew into a multi-location success, combining warm design with a menu that blends Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and classic American influences.
☕ What to Expect at Tatte Ridgewood
The Ridgewood Tatte location features:
-
An all-day menu offering breakfast, brunch, lunch, and snacks
-
Handmade pastries and desserts like their signature berry-topped cheesecake
-
Crafted coffee drinks made with in-house syrups — including the famous Pistachio Latte
-
Savory dishes like traditional shakshuka with fresh-baked challah and Jerusalem bagels
-
Indoor and outdoor seating, with a stylish and welcoming interior decorated with vintage accents like antique bakery scales and bespoke lighting
💬 A Home Away From Home
Tatte Bakery & Cafe CEO Shawn Utke explains the brand’s mission:
“Inspiring craft is our mission. We are investing in talented chefs, baristas, and bakers. Our cafes are designed with real antiques and fixtures by artisans. We believe it’s craft that connects us — and want to create a place you can call home, close to home.”
💛 Giving Back to Ridgewood

The original started in Southampton and they were the best. Congratulations.

Now we just need a great cup of coffee in the village. Who has the best coffee in town?
Geesh. All of downtown
now is restaurants and eateries. How many restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries do we need? People are laughing at what the village has become!
Why is it a problem if Ridgewood is a mecca for good food? The absence of good eateries is surely a bigger problem.
I passed by last night and Tatte was really crowded. I plan to stop by over the weekend. Best of luck to them.
an empty storefront is filled with a business that invested in Ridgewood, and yet people still complain. . Unbelievable.
