    Fantastic coffee and wonderful baked goods! The gluten free muffin my wife had was spectacular and my coffee cake was the best I’ve ever had. My daughter loved her Nutella hot chocolate.

    Really cute spot with local food and delicious drinks. The baked goods looked phenomenal, but we didn't try any this time. My breakfast sandwich was fantastic, and my husband's "yeti" wrap looked very good, but was missing condiments and they strangely don't have ketchup. Great trip though and will be back.

    The Summer to Fall Chai Latte with Vanilla cold foam was exactly what I needed for the last weekend of summer!! So delicious! First time visiting this space, PLENTY of room for seating, working, hanging out with a small outdoor space as well. Two entrances and plenty of parking on the street or in the closest lot. Also had the apple muffin which was one of the best I’ve had! Can’t wait to come back!

    Folklore Coffee has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The atmosphere is calm and inviting—perfect for relaxing with a book, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. Their coffee is consistently delicious, and their caramel latte is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, it’s my go-to order every time. Folklore Coffee is truly a little haven for coffee lovers.

    I’ve been here a total of three times now. The staff is absolutely amazing. They’re very welcoming and I love their energy. The place itself is very cozy and the theme is amazing. I’ve gotten the Athena salad, which was absolutely delicious and their specialty drinks were amazing. I had the Christopher Robin last time. I absolutely love this place and I can’t wait to come back again.
