Fortuitea Cafe

I live out in Colorado, but had the joy of stopping here while visiting family a few months back. There’s few and far options for vegan food back home, so when I saw this spot so close to my parents’ house, I had to try it! I will start by saying the owners are an absolute delight and beyond kind. They make everything from scratch, and the love they put into their bakes it’s evident- it’s nothing short of delicious! The pepperoni rolls are to die for, and the desserts, especially the cheesecake, are sinfully good. Since returning back to Denver, I’ve been lucky to have some of favorites from the shop shipped out to me. They’ve been so kind when my mom has order goodies for me, and have even gone as far as making fresh batches and advising on shipping too. Whether you’re vegan or not, this place is absolutely worth a stop; you won’t be disappointed! I cannot say enough great things, so do yourself a favor and try it for yourself!

Simply incredible. This place not only has amazing, made from scratch, 100% vegan food. But the owners/operators are the sweetest and friendliest people. Absolutely recommend this place to anybody and everybody. Treat yourself. It's worth it.

SO glad I found this spot. Every last thing I’ve ordered here so far is DELICIOUS! Taco salad ☑️ pizza ☑️ Mac n cheese ☑️ desserts ☑️ bubble tea ☑️. Highly recommend. I’m from out of the area but Visit Pittsburgh every other month and always make sure to stop by

best mac & cheese ever! I got the Jackfruit P panini and the Creamy Mac with broccoli and vegan bacon. They also have a very wide selection of tea & coffee, with popping boba. Overall, wonderful experience, cozy environment, very welcoming and friendly staff. I can’t wait to come back :)

I've eaten here many times in the past few years, always try something different and every single thing they make is incredible. They're also very friendly! Love eating here!

Fortuitea is an absolute must in the PGH area! Family run, and made fresh, if you're a vegan, get over here! Fresh coffee and teas ground and brewed to order make for an excellent overall experience. You feel like you're in a friend's kitchen!

Love Fortuitea! The food is excellent! The management and staff are very friendly and accommodating. There a very few Vegan options in the area and Fortuitea is a must stop! Highly recommend the Green Apple and Cheddar Panini, the meatball sliders, and the bakery treats!!

One of the best restaurants in the area, PERIOD. Don’t let its appearance fool you. My husband and I try something new every time we go and it’s always amazing. The south of the border “burger” is my favorite, and the mac and cheese is seriously to die for! The staff is so friendly and it’s always such a joy to stop in.

The food and service here was absolutely amazing. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and very pleasant to be around. I ordered a slice of vegan cheese pizza, French onion soup and a slice of cheesecake. The pizza had a great crust, chewy and crisp at the same time. The French onion soup was very flavorful, the best I’ve had, hands down. The cheese cake was delicious, rich without being “too rich”.

A cozy little place tucked unobtrusively in a shopping area that's not well known, or easy to navigate to. Top it all off with them being a Vegan place! Nonetheless, i suggest you give it a try.

While vegan, look at the menu that features burgers! How about Mac'n'cheese?

We had one of each and shared both. The jackfruit brisket did not taste much like brisket, but it did look and taste like a burger! With the cole slaw and sweet potato chips, it was really good, but messy.

The regular mac and cheese was much too saucy for my taste, and was also a bit sour. However the combination with broccoli was very similar to what I've had in some restaurants that are not vegan.

They also sell dozens of different teas in loose leaf configurations.

Portions are ample.

April 2021 update - Place still exists and survived the COVID shenanigans. Food is still good. Introduced some friends who have recently turned pescatarian to the place - since they have not heard of it - and they enjoyed everything we all tried. Five new photos added to this review. Bruschetta was outstanding, but the falafel was a disappointing as it was not crunchy at all - which is part of the fun of it.
