Cafe La Fortuna

"Absolutely love this coffee shop! Have been going here for years. Owner and staff are always extremely friendly and the coffee is amazing! The paninis are also delicious! Such a great little gem in downtown Hinsdale!"

"I needed to kill some time in downtown and I had never been in the area before. It so cute in the area, and it really seemed like I could walk around the block and find a coffee shop, or I would just loop back to the starbucks on the corner, but i wanted to find something local! The first few cafes really were more of a sit down diner type situation, so I saw the word Cafe on a sign up the hill and was absolutely DELIGHTED at what I found inside. Unfortunately the staff seemed annoyed with me for coming in. I felt like I interrupted something important and almost walked out because of how surprised they seemed to see me walk up. She didn't greet me, didn't ask what I wanted, just stared at me until I said 'I need a minute to look around because it's my first time in here'. I was impressed about the roaster machine in the corner, the amazing glass cold brew set ups in the back, and since I used to work at a small local roaster in Montana, I wanted to know more! I asked what the roast was for my Americano, and again, the response was super rude and condescending. I've spent the last 20 years working in retail food environments, and I felt almost too upset to even stay any longer. Honestly, the coffee didn't taste very good either now that I've tasted it. Even though I hate starbucks and hate supporting the company, at least the coffee tastes great. I'm super disappointed!"

"I’ve been coming here for a while and the coffee is terrific, however every time i come in the cashier is aggressive and unfriendly. I wish there was better service, so I could continue to come here, however this is something i cannot get past. If I am giving you my money everyday I expect at least friendly service. I understand everyone has bad days, but everyday?"

"Grabbed some coffee on the way to work and I wish I could say it was a good experience. My Vanilla Latte was okay, not great. My wife's hazelnut latte tasted awful. I would have gone back in to fix it if I hadn't been in a hurry. I'm not exactly sure what happened during my visit."

"I love this little hole in the wall, or more accurately this coffee shop that is hidden away from the main street. If you’re just dropping by, there’s free 15 minute parking in front of it, or if you’re wandering around Hinsdale downtown it’s the tiniest detour. Coffee selection is excellent, I had a Mayan hot chocolate espresso that was to die for, also a grilled cheese because it was a comfort food day. It’s been around for 10 years, it’s locally owned it’s women owned what’s not to love?"
