Boston-Based Bakery To Open First NJ Location In Bergen County Town

A beloved Boston-based bakery will spread the love (and flour) to a Bergen County town, opening next week.

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Tatte Bakery and Café, a popular Boston-based bakery chain, plans to open its 45th store next Monday in New Jersey. It'll be their first store in the Garden State.

Tatte started in 2007, when Israeli immigrant Tzurit Or began baking family recipes in her kitchen. She sold the imaginative pastries at a
farmers' market in Boston.

The store will open at 222 East Ridgewood Ave. in Ridgewood.

The store features "chefs and bakers cooking and baking from scratch daily, baristas serving signature drinks with beautiful latte art, and front of house team members curating inspired environments and experiences where guests can feel at home."

The Ridgewood cafe will offer 110 seats and a patio for outdoor dining, said a spokesperson.

"Each location is distinctly unique featuring warm, yet clean interiors designed for comfort and conversation, and one-of-a-kind vintage accents like its signature antique bakery scale and antique light fixtures," the company said.

The menu features a signature cheesecake with hand-picked berries, seasonal housemade jams, specialty coffee drinks including a pistachio latte, and more.

The Shakshuka, a traditional dish of eggs poached in spiced sauces, is served with fresh challah bread baked fresh daily. The Jerusalem Bagels are all unique and hand-shaped by their bakers.

The store will open to the public on Monday, May 5.

To celebrate the opening, Tatte will be raising funds to support the Social Service Association of Ridgewood, https://ssaridgewood.org, by matching donations up to $2,500. Since 1913, SSA has been a "beacon of hope and help to our neighbors facing hardship, providing a community safety net."

The store will be open Monday-Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m, and Sunday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
