Fortuna Coffee Bar

Great coffee, superb food, amazingly fast and friendly service. We visited Edinburgh for three nights recently and had breakfast at Fortuna every morning. The place is tiny and gets packed, but it is worth the wait if you have to. The menu isn't long, but what is on there is truly tasty, with big portions and made with care by the excellent and super friendly staff. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

We only stopped for coffee and tried their millionaire shortbread, which was delicious. To me the coffee was a bit too roasted to my liking but maybe it was just me 🥹😁 anyway, the staff is super lovely and kind :) I eyed the avocado toasts around me and if I weren’t full I woulda gotten some as they looked divine! :O

Can’t really fault this place. It’s small so have a plan B if there are no seating. The staff are spot on. I noticed how on the ball they are at cleaning tables after someone has finished. The menu is good with options to cater for most diets. I went with the blackberry and Brie toast which was lovely. Initially I thought they maybe overdone it with the blackberries but it was great. My wife got scrambled eggs on toast which she also enjoyed. She also got a hot chocolate which was very good. To take away we got a millionaire shortbread and a ginger and cranberry slice. Both of them were nice but the ginger slice was brilliant with a lovely soft texture. The price of everything was not too expensive, especially for city centre.
