Fortunella Cafe
A compact cafe tucked into Apple Market serving excellent coffee, fresh quiches, and reliable light brunch options.
Why we love it
The best coffee in Kingston's historic market — quick, quality, and perfectly placed for a market-day pit stop.
Fortunella's claim to fame is coffee, and it's a fair claim — this tiny market spot pulls a better shot than anywhere else in central Kingston. Nestled in the historic Apple Market, it's the kind of place you stumble into while shopping and end up returning to deliberately. The space is small, so think counter perch rather than leisurely table, but for a quick eggs on toast and a proper flat white, it's hard to beat. The quiches are baked fresh and substantial; the smoothies are made to order. It's not a sit-down-for-two-hours brunch spot — it's a quality pit stop. Market day Saturdays get hectic, but the queue moves fast.
