Breakfast is fantastic--we always ordered the Veggie Bay which is a vegetarian version of a full English breakfast. The plate is massive and full up--I struggled to eat it all, but it's so good that I stuffed myself. Lunch here is pretty good too, there's an extensive menu with lots to choose from. If you're a vegetarian like us, you'll have lots to choose from as well. This café is very laid back and has a cool vibe. I loved all the fun posters on the ceiling. They also have a shelves of books to read while you're waiting, and also toys for the kids. I will miss this place!

I know the term "hidden gem" gets thrown around a lot in food reviews, but Forts ticks all the boxes to earn that title. It's off the beaten path with more of a neighborhood feel than trendy vibe. The relaxed and inviting layout makes you want to hang out with friends (back when that was allowed) with service that was stellar from the moment you walked through the door. We sought this place out on the reputation of its coffees alone, but soon realized how wonderful it was across the board. Everything we had from the menu was delicious. Not just good, but *delicious*. That's an important distinction. We all would've gladly had seconds of the same exact thing we had just ordered. Not to mention, the rotating menu of seasonally inspired dishes meant that it would be impossible to get bored even if you ate here all year round. Finally, there was the coffee. Oh my god, was there coffee. If you're an aficionado then you'll feel like a kid in a candy store here. If you're a newbie to the world of high end coffee then this is where you can try the good stuff while being expertly guided by a very knowledgeable staff. You can't go wrong with coffee at this café. I hope this lovely place survives all the curve balls that 2020 has been throwing at the restaurant industry because I seriously cannot wait to return (once things are able to safely open again) and dive headfirst into those nduja fried eggs.
