I came to this establishment 2/8/2026 around 1:02 pm I ordered a hot chocolate some canolis and a cookie the pastries were stale and to make matters worse the server Jack was completely rude and racist he gave me such a nasty look and threw the change on the counter as if he didn't wanna touch my hand totally un acceptable I handed him the money in his hand and expected him to do the same if he's not gonna make all people of different race feel comfortable he shouldn't be working there not everything is snow understand I would never step foot in this disgusting establishment again I regret spending my $20 in this place learn to treat all people equally regardless of there race or ethnicity

Been going here for over 40 years. Love the sfogitelle. Can’t go wrong with the cappuccino either.

I come here all the time. The pastries and drinks are mid to bad but the vibe is great. Best gossip spot in town.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Very disappointed – not artisanal, not professional
I honestly can’t believe these cakes and cookies are made by “professionals.” Everything tasted industrial, like chemical-flavored, artificially colored almond paste straight from a factory. The flavors were brutal and unnatural.
The worst part: the babas literally smelled like gasoline. Not an exaggeration. Completely inedible. We stopped eating after a few bites.
This is not what real pastry tastes like. nothing refined, nothing authentic about these products. It feels mass-produced, overloaded with fake flavoring and coloring, and sold as “artisan.”
What’s even more shocking is the 4–5 star rating. After this experience, it’s very hard to believe those reviews are real. Either standards are extremely low, or the reviews are misleading.
I would not recommend this place to anyone who actually appreciates quality pastry. Huge disappointment.

Wow, always fresh! Always delicious! Always wonderful!
The espresso and pastries have such a beautiful taste. There is nothing you can go wrong with here.
Thank you Fortunatos, you’re always a great time.

For starters I just want to say me and my family have been coming here for many years and the quality has just been going down for the past couple of years. From the spoiled fruit on the fruit tarts to the stale cheesecake. Please be consistent with your quality and fix this I would hate to go to another place for pastries. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad, it’s a gamble and you don’t know what you’re going to get. HORRIBLE OREO CHEESECAKE

I purchased the Chocolate Mousse Cake for New Year’s on December 30, 2025 and was VERY disappointed. The cake tasted stale, lacked freshness, and didn’t have a rich chocolate flavor, and the cream puffs around were like stale crackers. We expected a Fortunato-quality experience, but it fell short. I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 years, and now I don’t know what to do for the next celebration.
