Tartine Kitchen Eatery - Beverly

I was always a big fan of Tartine for the ambiance and food/beverage. I am not usually one to write a review but I 've never experienced anything like this before as a customer. This morning, I went there for a coffee with two of my girlfriends. They had gotten a coffee and bagel sandwiches from a neighboring cafe and sat at Tartine 's outdoor patio while I went in to order from Tartine. I purchased a latte and a pastry. I came back outside to sit with my girlfriends, and no sooner did the owner come out and tell us to leave because my girlfriends had food from an outside place. Monica, the owner, said that it was tasteless to do that and wasn 't cool for us to sit on her patio with food from another establishment. I replied that I was a paying customer of Tartine, and her response was all you bought was a croissant. I informed her that I had ordered a latte as well, but was still waiting on it. She then went on to say that I could stay seated on the patio, but my two girlfriends had to leave. She was incredibly rude and condescending throughout the whole exchange. Meanwhile, there was not a single other customer sitting on the patio or waiting to sit on the patio, so it 's not like there was a line out the door that we were taking up other paying customers seats. I will definitely not be back to Tartine, and am truly shocked that this is how someone runs their business. Belittling customers for essentially not spending enough money in her opinion- THAT is tasteless.

This little slice of France ?? is a recurring favorite of mine. Soups are to die for, and the tartines are inspirational. This time, I treated myself to an iced Macha latte with blackberry. Best. Drink. Ever.They have increased their pastry options, all of which look delightful and no doubt are, but I did not indulge this time.The atmosphere is the real prize. Minimalist tables, chairs, clean lines, sufficient space between tables. Relatively quiet, and they leave you in peace for as long as you care to stay. Parking: Downtown Beverly is a hard place to find easy parking, and they are making it harder by adding bump-outs to the sidewaljs that remove parking spaces. But there is a municipal lot only a block away that will usually yield a spot.

I've been coming here almost daily for a quad shot espresso and a savory breakfast treat.Comfortable and esthetic atmosphere to accompany the white glove service.

The food and coffee is great! The hot Belgian chocolate looks fantastic and yummy. Very recommendable!

Absolutely love it here. Beautifully decorated, food is delicious, and service is incredible. 10/10 ??
