Great coffee and food, took 35 minutes for our food to come out. A little understaffed. For what you get the food is a bit pricey. But love supporting local businesses and great environment.

I’ve been here a few times over the years, just wanting to give it another chance again and I always regret it. No matter what sandwich I’ve ordered, it has been dry and incredibly hard. I remember getting one listed as having cheese on it and once I got my sandwich (the bread to content ratio was like 6:1), I removed the cheese and smacked it against my plate and it shattered like glass. I asked for something else because that wasn’t edible and was treated like I was a horrible person for not loving it.
I give 2 stars for service though, because if you’ve ever looked at local job listings, these people are so grossly underpaid. I’d mentally and emotionally check out too, if I was being paid $9/hr. For $9/hr you couldn’t get anyone I know to care about the quality of their work in any aspect. McDonald’s wants their employees to care more about their job performance than this place.
If you go inside, it’s quaint and inviting, but you quickly realize that it reeks of gentrified nonsense. Atmosphere was the main concern here and quality took such a backseat that it’s not even on the same bus.
If you want a sandwich that not only tastes better, but is also cheaper, go to Subway. They’ll treat you better, too.

Cute place with amazing chai
I tried their cappuccino and it was well prepared, it tasted a little bit sour which wasn’t quite to my liking.

Service is really bad. Last night when I arrived, the girl making drinks acknowledged me after a few minutes and said she would be with me shortly. After 10 minutes she still had not stopped making drinks to take my order. There was a line growing. I finally walked away and chose to not order and give them my money. Right after I walked away from the counter, another person who had been preparing food stepped up to the counter and wait on all the other customers.

I use to love coming to this coffee shop when I lived in Elizabethtown. I stopped in for the first time in a few years and was very disappointed. The staff was beyond rude and the atmosphere is horrible now. I got a small vanilla latte (which I had to wait about 15 minutes just to get service). It was cold by the time I got it and really not good for the price. I will not be returning.

When I am lost, I come here. Every time I’ve been This place feels like the perfect choice. The food is not only delicious but also reasonably priced, and the extensive menu offers so many options to choose from.
One of my favorite things is their cozy couch—it’s the ideal spot to sit, relax, and get some work done. This coffee shop embodies everything a great coffee place should be: intimate, comforting, and filled with the inviting aroma of fresh coffee.

We were a bit early for our Amtrak arrival, so we popped into Folklore for a coffee and sweet. It offered a variety of choices and met our needs.

Folklore gets 5 stars from me. I arrived about 15 minutes after they opened and they were empty. I set my stuff down and stepped outside. When I came back in my usual coffee was on my table. No asking, no inclination to order yet, just someone going above and beyond.

This place has nice atmosphere, feels like home. It seems like a local gem! The best brownie I’ve had in a coffee shop 🥹 my Nutella hot chocolate was perfect too! Will definitely come again once I’m back in this area! 10/10 recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I fell in love with their hot caramel latte the first time I had it! It is one of the most creamiest lattes I've ever had! And their everything bagel is delicious! I had mine with turkey, avocado, tomatoes, Dijon mustard, and mayo! I ordered online, and my order was ready upon arrival :) Traffic was decent when I went, so I was able to find street parking without a meter. I did see public parking available (I think it may have been on Cherry something), but it was behind the coffee shop. I did takeout, but I will be back to eat inside as it appeared to be a super chill environment!
The food and atmosphere are great, but I beg you please hire more people or at least add a button to call people to the front. I occasionally walk over to get something when I'm on break, and without fail every time I have come in, there is at least a 10-15 minute wait before I'm even acknowledged as a customer. I love your shop folklore, but it's not worth the 20-minute procedure and being late for work just to get a cookie.
