    The hazelnut latte was disgusting. This was one of the worst coffees I’ve ever had. I took 2 sips and had to throw it out. Terrible experience.

    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?

    A cozy downtown coffee shop with delicious drink and some food options. When I went, there was no indoor seating available, but it does look like they have space for some. I was able to enjoy my coffee just outside under a tent during the rain

    Great local coffee shop, much better quality than Starbucks around the corner. However, there is no indoor seating, which makes it hard for me to want to come back. Since I WFH, I like to go to coffee shops to do work on my laptop. I hope one day they expand or move to a larger Hinsdale location to be able to offer indoor seating

    wasn’t originally going to go here, but saw the reviews and figured, “hmm must be pretty good”. so i walked in and was immediately greeted with a very nice barista. we expressed it was our first time and we was willing to help us decide. i ordered a cold brew and a latte, both of which were of high quality. that, on top of the service makes me certain i’ll be back again.

    This is the best place to get coffee. I will travel a long distance for their Mayan Coffee (for me) and Mexican Hot Chocolate (for my wife). Always a pleasant experience when I go.

    The coffee is amazing. When I am there the cashiers are either the nicest people or extremely condescending. It’s one extreme or the other. The cashier the morning of 10/28 is typically very condescending and aggressive.

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

  • 5/5 Pat L. 2 years ago on Google • 204 reviews
    Little coffee shop that's kindve hidden in the alleyway. Staff is courteous in my order. Pricing is great ($5 altogether) and tasted great. The old fashioned donut was my favorite. The espresso had a nice kick to it. Inside their is not a lot of room but outdoor seating is available.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

  • 5/5 Michelle O. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee ever! (The Mexican hot chocolate is my fave!) And the owner, Angela, is kind, and welcoming!

  • 5/5 Seb P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dan J. 4 years ago on Google
    The greatest coffee, amazing atmosphere. It's clear from how the owners interact with people that this is a community hub.

  • 5/5 Oliver W. 1 year ago on Google
    You won’t regret going here, very clean and amazing staff at this location. The employees are so kind and drinks are always so delicious. I love their americano. It doesn't have that burnt coffee bean taste. And my americano was made in under a minute. Their bakery goods were nice, too. An Institution for coffee lovers and enthusiasts. They are masters at their craft with the most professional customer service. This particular location is warm and welcoming. Tables and chairs are comfortable and easily arranged. Music is soft and relaxing. Mostly because their staff is awesome! I would give this more stars if I could. I will be back soon.

  • 5/5 Evan P. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent cafe that stands out by roasting its own beans in shop. A perfect place to stop by if your waiting to catch your train.

  • 5/5 Nisrine T. 1 year ago on Google
    We just stopped in while running errands in Hinsdale. I had the iced Mayan coffee and my fiancé had the cafe con leche with the biscotti. We loved both of the drinks and will definitely return to try the breakfast panini! The service was great and we got our coffees quickly.

  • 5/5 Bryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a real coffee shop which imports and roasts their own beans in-house. It's not the generic, corporate-owned soulless experience that you can get anywhere.

  • 5/5 Christian A. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff and great food. They serve amazing coffee / pastries. Definitely a must visit shop when in town.

  • 5/5 Nicole C. 6 months ago on Google
    The absolute best hot chocolate anywhere! The ambience of the place is also lovely and welcoming. Such a gem in downtown Hinsdale 💕

  • 5/5 Justin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good coffee and authentic Mexican owners make it a fun coffee grab.

  • 1/5 Beeba N. 10 months ago on Google
    Anytime I’m in the area I always stop here to get an iced Mayan with almond milk. I stopped by here today before work to get my drink. I love the iced Mayan because it taste like chocolate but coffee. Today when I went, it wasn’t the normal girl who works there, which is fine the woman was super nice, but I hen I got to my car and took a sip of my drink it did not taste the same. IT WAS HORRIBLE and tasted watered down. And just plain coffee. Not how it normally tastes. I was crunched on time otherwise I would have gone back in and had her remake it for me. So I’m super upset about my experience today. Basically just wasted money to not even drink my coffee, and now I have to go else where for coffee during my shift at work.

  • 3/5 K A. 10 months ago on Google
    I got two iced lattes. They were decent for a quick grab, but it wouldn’t be my go to coffee shop. Customer service was not good. The lady who took my order was very short and not friendly. An older lady who rung me up was very kind! Very cute shop with outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Nova K. 1 year ago on Google
    The barista was super friendly and the atmosphere was very nice and relaxed. Drink menu is quite extensive, there were 6 milk alternatives to choose from during my visit

  • 3/5 Rachael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very sweet people working here. They had my order done very quickly. I just was not a fan of the cold brew. It tasted like heated coffee that was chilled. It's never supposed to be heated. It gave me really bad heartburn and cold brew usually doesn't do that!!! I added a flavor to it and you couldn't taste it. Make sure you ask for extra cream or milk. Mine came very dark, almost no milk.

  • 3/5 Ronald B. 5 months ago on Google
    At first, I thought, hard to find, it must mean a great place... The coffee IS fresh, and the service is good, but not posting that there is NOT seating inside is deceiving. Possibly, this is a temporary situation, but if not, you will not build a big base.

  • 5/5 Benjamin A. 9 months ago on Google
    Cannot say enough good things about La Fortuna. Local coffee shop with great coffee, freshly roasted beans, and excellent service. We are so fortunate to have this little shop in a suburb.

  • 5/5 John K. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the all time great coffee shops. The cold brew and Mayan coffee are particularly amazing, but the drip coffee and cafe de olla are great as well. Charming outdoor seating area.

  • 5/5 Caryn H. 3 years ago on Google
    Cafe de olla was delicious. Friendly barista. I was so pleased to find a real coffee shop here in the burbs.

  • 5/5 Dayana K. 3 years ago on Google
    every cup of coffee here is made skillfully with love. mayan (hot) & chocolate croissants are a favorite. Staff is friendly & full of personality. Many loyal regulars come in and out and feels like a community. I'm in my 20s and this soon became my favorite spot in Hinsdale out of college!

  • 5/5 Mike V. 3 years ago on Google
    Drove 30 minutes to try their coffee. It was well worth the drive. Staff is extremely friendly and the quality is great.

  • 1/5 tina p. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    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?
