Little cloudy start to my day but their delicious coffee helped right the ship!The pastries looked amazing and we where given some great suggestions of goodie’s my wife and I took home.Spot on suggestions everything was delicious!Highly suggest this place!
Very clean, cute place with awesome views downtown, parking garage right near across the street!Iced coffee, latte, muffins, and apple blondes were all amazing and tasted good, I don’t recommend getting the iced green tea, it was too strong and didn’t taste good. Only complaint ☺️. My friends and I went around 3:30-6 on a Monday afternoon and there were only a few other people. So if you’re looking for a quiet place to study I recommend it!
Favorite coffee place in Fort Wayne. coffee and bake goods hit the spot. Service is welcoming and helpful. Has a good relaxed vibe to enjoy a coffee in peace.

Fortezza is a lovely hole-in-the-wall coffee shop and hang out space! A little sparse on comfortable/plush seating, but the various options make up for it somewhat. Want a coffee table? They’ve got a lovely live-edge setup. Privacy and seclusion? The back room is ideal to hide yourself away for a few hours. Want a view? There’s a window seat with cozy cushions and a quaint street view of downtown. Whether for here or to go, Fortezza is an ideally situated coffee shop in the heart of Fort Wayne.
They have the best pastries in town. I love that they change what they offer so its not the same selection every time I go.

If you have a public library card, parking in their lot and then walking is a good alternative if there are no parallel spaces available. That's if you want FREE parking.

I walked in there and smiled & greeted the lady at the register. She literally stood there & ignored me, never said hello & never made eye contact. When someone comes into your business the least you could do is have the decency to respond with a simple hello or smile. I did not feel welcomed & i will never be back. The vibes were off.
