This place had been on my list to try for awhile. However, this place is a grab and go place and does not offer any seating. Service was super friendly and they had my coffee poured even before I finished paying. They seemed to have regular customers that they greeted by name. I had a cold brew which is offered in two sizes. It was smooth and not bitter at all. Great spot, but tiny. read more

I was in Hinsdale with my daughter at My Sister Kate and thought we'd get a hot chocolate before leaving. This is a very tiny coffee shop and for those of you not terribly familiar with Hinsdale (myself amongst them) the place looks like it's in an alley but it's not; you're turning down the right street. There are a few parking spots down here so that makes it convenient. The shop has a good drink menu and also has donuts/muffins/sandwiches. I had a breakfast panini and I liked it. I wasn't sure what I'd think since I am always a bit on the fence about avocado, but wanted to try it without modifications. I liked the black beans on it more than I expected to. Overall it's an ok spot but the drinks are better than the food options. The owner has a great handle on her regulars; she was greeting folks as they came in and remembered the coffee order of a woman who hasn't been in for a while because she remarked on how surprised she was that she remembered her usual. There's no seating in the cafe, it's strictly a grab-and-go place. But they have an app of their own that you can use to order, and based upon what the owner was telling a customer, it generally works better than using the Toast app. read more

I had the Mayan coffee: Hot Chocolate infused with Cinnamon, Almond, Vanilla with 2 Espresso. shots It was delicious! They also have some small food options. It would be helpful if their menu was easier to find on the website. I have to click "Order now" to find it. read more

My new favorite place! It's a small family owned coffee shop that has the very best, Mayan coffee. I have yet to try the pastries. Personally, I prefer to give business to local family owned shops than SB. I also think their prices are WAY better than SB anyway. Highly recommend the Mexican hot chocolate or Mayan coffee. read more

came here with a friend. pretty good coffee!! good service!!! tasted exactly like what i expected. yummy :)

I enjoyed visiting this cafe on my way through town. My iced vanilla latte was delicious and parking in front was a breeze.

Best coffee in hinsdale! The ladies there are the best! Always helpful, cool calm and collected. Cute shop and peaceful inside. Very big on community, always a flyer for something local and I love that! 4 shots, large iced Mayan with oakmilk - thank me later!! read more

Great coffee infused with cinnamon and sugar. They roast their own beans. Great service, very kind and fast!

The coffee is really good but don't expect good customer service. The people who work there hardly even greet you

Just a terrific spot in Hinsdale run by a Mom and her daughter. They have a smooth operation and are always greeting customers usually on a first name basis. I quit going to the chain coffee shop a long time ago. I highly recommend Cafe LaFortuna. read more

Wonderful coffee and service ! Paninis are excellent as well as the gluten free baked goods we tried !

Coffee and breakfast sandwich were good and there is nice outdoor seating area right next to the coffee area. Staff was nice.

I've been buying their freshly roasted coffee beans for years, before any other roasters opened up nearby. Reliably delicious coffee beans!

Cute little coffee shop that serves a wonderful Mayan coffee. I'm kinda mad at myself because I opted for the Starbucks in the morning, hit lunch, and then decided to shake things up a bit by checking out this place in the afternoon. I could have parked myself here instead and try a variety of things to get me through file reading. I am a HUGE fan of Mexican mochas or Mexican hot chocolates when done right. Here, it's done right. The drink was smooth. Staff was friendly. Not a lot of seating but very cute atmosphere. Not noisy like Starbucks. They also offer free WiFi. read more

What a cute little gem in Hinsdale! Service was quick and both my drinks were delicious! I can't wait to go back again and try more!

My sister and I stopped in after reading the reviews of the Mayan coffee. I asked for mine to be less sweet, and it was perfect! The ladies behind the counter were very kind and attentive. Will be stopping by again soon! read more

Excellent customer service from the moment we walked in. There were 2 people working which makes things quicker and I like that. The store itself is small with not too much seating. We ordered the Mayan coffee and an iced caramel latte. They were both outstanding. Even better yet, they both were able to be made as decaf. We also tried the lemon cake and that was very good as well. Coffee flavor was exceptional! read more

Cafe La Fortuna - Mayan coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hinsdale, Illinois

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. read more

Upon arrival in Hinsdale, I ventured to La Fortuna, many have recommended this establishment to me. Their testaments were not in vain. Every word that was uttered to me was truth. Their coffee is amazing. I partook in the Mayan coffee and the matcha green tea latte. The Mayan was sweet and tasty with a hint of cinnamon, the matcha green tea latte was amazing. I recommend this place to all who want to support a local coffee shop. read more

I adore this little hidden coffee spot. It is so hard to find any sort of Mexican coffee/cafe de olla in the suburbs. Making the drive here (and even the subsequent parking tickets - thanks, Hinsdale!) was worth it because my drink was so good. I love a mix of espresso, chocolate, cinnamon and spice. And they have multiple drink options here that will satisfy all of those flavors! The staff (I think a mother and daughter maybe?) were both very friendly. It's a great place to pick up a crafted coffee drink and then walk around the beautiful neighborhood. I'm looking forward to coming back! But next time I won't stay parked for more than two hours haha! That turned out to be a very pricey, but delicious, coffee after all! read more

Amen to all yelpers who have forsaken the S*arb*cks and embraced the local business. As a true Chicagoan, I've been practicing this principle for some time now and haven't never looked back to all these major corporations that are trying to brainwash their consumers. I promised hubby the night before to have breakfast in the morning before he started his shift. However, I was enticed by the Japanese drama, watching it insanely, and didn't go to sleep until "early in the morning." Thus, I suggested that we used yelp as our trusty tool to develop a Plan B since I woke up a bit too late. We discovered Cafe La Fortuna today in downtown Hinsdale on the way to Joliet. What a lovely neighborhood coffee shop! Most importantly, they serve quality Mexican-style coffee. I had the large red eye, and hubby went with a large latte. The barista, who was full of energy, welcomed us with a spunk when we walked in. The conversations between patrons and the barista were pretty fun to eavesdrop (well, we were actually invited to the conversations because they were just as friendly as human beings can be). We are the city dwellers, but we probably will try to make it to the area during summer time since there's a disc golf course nearby. In addition, I believe the Metra BNSF comes through and the weekend Metra pass per adult is $7! Do I have an excuse to come back? I certainly think so. The barista also handed us a coffee punch card. Although the entire venue is fairly tiny, the small space is conducive for striking conversations and dialogues between people. Feeling anti-social? Then overcome this inhibition by stepping into Cafe La Fortuna. There's no single "shy" person in the house. read more

Good black coffee but only one brew available. Not a huge specialty coffee guy but the selection looks impressive.

My FAVORITE coffee spot. The most delicious coffee I can find in the entire area. I moved to Westmont from Carol Stream and I was on the hunt for a go-to coffee shop for MONTHS! Once I found this place, I don't go anywhere else. Delicious and very quick service. read more
