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!

Great employees, great food, great everything. Their outside seating is gorgeous throughout the summer time. LOVE their iced and hot mayan coffee! Highly recommend. They go above and beyond for their customers, always! They have a variety of great options for everyone. This cafe is highly popular and busy, patience is key! :)

Great local coffee shop and the the owner is a wonderful lovely woman who cares about her customers.

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?

Coffee and food was great!!!!

I love this place so much. It’s my favorite spot whenever we’re visiting my boyfriends family in hinnsdale. Their coffee is incredible and the breakfast sandwiches are homemade and so delicious. The women who work behind the counter are so great too, I love walking in, always a good vibe

Ok coffee. Coffee was not fresh. They warmed it up using steam from espresso. The chai from concentrate.

Super friendly, great coffee, great donuts, and tasty paninis. I'd go out of my way to visit this coffee shop.

The owner and her staff need to be trained on how to provide better customer service. We were greeted by the young lady working there, but she could have been friendlier. The batista barely said a word. It was my first time and it would have been nice to have someone explain all the unique products they serve. Parking: None
