Nestled in the new Terravessa development in Fitchburg, Tati Co. is reimagining what a modern gathering space can be. Part coffee shop, part marketplace, it’s the creation of Sherry Yu, Nan Jiang and Nan Ying.
Yu is a partner at AY Development, which owns The Point at Terravessa, a mixed-use residential and commercial building in the development.
After struggling to find a local coffee shop for The Point, Yu and Ying championed the idea to create their own café. Today, Tati Co. has evolved into a bustling hub where customers can enjoy beverages and bites alongside a curated marketplace of convenience items and goods from area artisans.
With offerings from smoothies to soup, protein bowls, to boba tea and more, Tati Co.’s menu emphasizes wholesome, nourishing options. Its best-selling açai bowl is an all-time favorite, made from pure fruit with no added sugars. Pair the bacon breakfast burrito with a Sunny Island smoothie or try the salami and ricotta toast for an updated take on classic avocado toast.
The coffee is courtesy of local roaster Rusty Dog, known for its responsibly-sourced beans, while Madison Sourdough provides fresh-baked pastries. If you want to try Yu’s favorite menu item, pick a base of loose leaf organic tea and add a syrup or honey shot for a refreshing drink — hot or iced.
Finish off your meal by browsing the marketplace. Grab a bottle of wine, a pint of Chocolate Shoppe ice cream or handcrafted items from local vendors like Emily Marie Watercolors, Black Sheep Chocolate and Merigold Candles.
