  “Needed a place to rest my legs after a long walk and came across Fortuna Cafe. Decided to stop for a coffee and a short break. It has the feel of an independent cafe, which I always prefer when cafe hopping. The interior is pleasant and quiet, a comfortable spot to sit and unwind. I was warmly greeted by the friendly barista and coffee was decent. Glad I stopped by, it was a good place to take a break.”

  “Cute, lively spot! Cortado was good, and Berry Bowl was flavorful and filling. Different day - avocado toast is huge and flavorful, and the iced matcha latte refreshing.”

  “This cute cafe was across the street from my hotel and was the perfect place to pop in for a quick bite and coffee. The service was great and the food was even better. A perfect spot to get fresh food and caffeine to get your day started.”

  “Food was good, but portion sizes are quite small, especially for the prize. Beetroot latte (£5.2) seems pricey and £4.2 for a small plate of eggs as well.”

  “Would 100% recommend this cafe, the food was brilliant and great for those with dietary requirements. They have gluten free and dairy free adaptations on some of their menu items! The staff were friendly and helpful even dishing up one of our orders on separate plates when we said we would be sharing a dish.”

  “Absolutely loved my visit to Fortuna! The vibe is amazing, its cozy and welcoming. The staff were so lovely and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered the scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon, and it was so good I completely forgot to take a photo before diving in. The portion was really generous too! I also had a matcha latte, which was smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of sweet. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

  “I had a chai latte and it was absolutely delicious. The space itself is nice and has a good vibe for brunch or coffee with friends. Unfortunately, the noise from the staff cleaning cups and dishes was really distracting. It was too loud to have a proper conversation or relax with a book. Great drinks, but not the best spot if you’re looking for a calm atmosphere.”

  “If you're wandering through the charming streets of Edinburgh's New Town and looking for a cozy spot to recharge… THIS PLACE IS IT!!! This little gem is honestly a perfect blend of laid-back vibes with some seriously good brews. Now, let’s talk about the main event: the coffee. Fortuna sources its beans from local roasters, and you can really taste the quality. I went for a flat white, and it was smooth and velvety, with just the right amount of kick to get me going. The food menu here is simple but delightful. I couldn’t resist trying their avocado toast, which came beautifully presented, topped with bacon, chili flakes and a drizzle of olive oil. It was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect brunch choice. They also have some tempting pastries that looked like they could easily disappear in seconds. The staff at Fortuna are super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They’re happy to chat about the menu and make recommendations, which adds to the overall chill vibe of the place.”

  “Super glad that Fortuna just opened a new cafe on Frederick Street which is just 2 min from my workplace. They serve the best coffee in town! The toasties offer great variety on the menu and the portion is always generous. My personal favorite is the butternut squash toast. Beautiful to look at, and delicious and healthy to eat. The new place is more spacious with great taste, would definitely recommend for brunch or afternoon tea.”
