MSNBC’s “Morning Joe’’ co-host Mika Brzezinski was in Boston this weekend, and she asked a question that has stumped more than one local coffee lover: How is “Tatte’’ — as in Tatte Bakery & Cafe — pronounced?

Brzezinski took to Instagram the get answers.

“So me and @clhxphoto aka Cookie Monster here, we have a debate …’’ Brzezinski wrote. “We are at this great place Tatte … but is it pronounced ‘tat’ like tattoo for short? Or Tah-tae? Anyway DELISH …’’

Brzezinski, who recently married her “Morning Joe’’ cohost, Joe Scarborough, also posted a series of Tatte-based photos. The first was with her daughter, followed by a shot of a latte, and a the cafe’s “Avocado Tartine’’ dish.
