Tzurit Or.

Tatte Bakery & Cafe, opened earlier this month, is the newest addition to the Kendall Square food mecca. This is the second and more ambitious location of the Brookline bakery Tatte Fine Cookies & Cakes, owned by Israel-born pastry chef Tzurit Or. The Kendall spot offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and coffee and little baked luxuries all day. Taste some of Or’s favorite dishes from her homeland and North Africa, along with European classics, or sample contemporary sandwiches on housemade breads. New York-style cheesecake and the signature nut boxes (among the items Or sells to Dean & DeLuca in New York) are here. You can also find Tatte products at local farmers’ markets. When you dine at Kendall, food arrives on cutting boards, silverware and napkins are housed in clay pots, and the room will probably be full of techies. Tatte Bakery & Cafe, 318 Third St., Cambridge; 617-354-4200; www.tattecookies.com.
