Q:
Is this place dog friendly?
A:
It doesn't have outside seating yet so for now it is not, but they themselves are very dog friendly people.

Super cute little coffee shop with yummy drinks, nice merch, and great art.
I ordered the cowboy(iced) and it was very sweet with really no coffee flavor - more of just a vanilla protein shake taste but it was good and I'd order it again. The cowboy I was told only comes in a medium...but as a recommendation to the store, I would serve it in a large and dilute a tiny bit of the sweetness by adding more coffee to it. That would have made it perfect.
It's a bit too small for quiet book reading, working etc. As it can get loud when there are a bunch of people in line in a small place.
I hope to come back when I'm in town again and I recommend others to try this place out.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 2, 2024Updated review14 check-ins
The house blend is my absolute favorite roast-blend in the city; made by What's Brewing. **cold brew, black, no ice!!** trust me, you don't need add-ins, this is all flavor bare.
Few seats inside, but this is a more grab and go spot. However, the staff will chat with you and the vibe makes the space feel bigger than it actually is.
Love coming here and have even taken beans home for when I can't make it though.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 5, 2023Previous reviewI have to go on Fort Sam for business and make an effort to use the side gate so I can visit Folklores.
Have had lattes and cold brew. Cold brew is, for me, Top 3 in the city.
Has a great roast flavor that has a natural spice and sweet taste. Literally don't need to add anything.
There are a couple of seats inside but this is mainly a counter operation. Because of that, a small line can create a delayed service experience but the staff is interactive and turning out orders quickly.
I'd rather a little wait, knowing I'm getting a drink that is made properly than a drink that is made quickly to meet a time quota.
Parking can be a bit of an issue, depending on the time of day.
Do wish there was a larger space that invited guests to stay. - Jan 31, 20241 check-in
What a fun hidden spot near the quadrangle. Loved all the art on the walls. I was told several items were donated and many of them have interesting backstories.
Apparently, some of the skateboards have been donated by a local well known skater who signed them. Some of the pictures featuring famous artists were donated by a local who loves that the owner takes a day to give all the daily earnings to the baristas. How amazing and how often do you find such generous bosses like this?!
I ended up with a chocolate banana americano and it was delicious! My only issue was parking. Best to get here early to get parking out front or in a tiny parking lot around the corner. The rest is parking at your own risk. It's a bit small inside so not great for large groups, but great for solo , couples or on the go.
I will have to come back on another day I can get here early and try some of their other coffees and goodies.Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0 - Anja W.Watertown, NY16187Apr 24, 2024

Such a chill, relaxed vibe! I love this place. But, I also don't do well w coffee, hello caffeine headache lol. But! Their drinks are soooo good. When I was ordering, the cashier and I were just talking, talking, talking that I actually forgot to order my breakfast.

Recommended by a local in the area, and they did not disappoint. I was able to grab a cup of coffee and a little breakfast on the way to meet a client. Loved the vibe and the folks inside. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. But most importantly the coffee was on point!! I'll definitely be coming back if I'm in the area and would recommend to others!

I got a Chagaccino! I was a bit skeptical to try the mushroom coffee because it was my first time but I trusted the tastebuds of the barista!
It was the perfect flavor, I ordered it hot and it tasted a bit earthy, not too sweet, and surprisingly tasted not much different than a coffee based latte. Service was speedy and I was greeted so kindly on my way in and out! Will definitely come here againnnn, woohoo!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2024
This was a cute coffee shop! We visited when we came to town for the weekend. I ordered the Cuban and Souxie lattes. They were so delicious! There was no one there when we arrived at opening, unfortunately the wait was pretty long. It took about 20+ minutes to get our drinks. Later we figured out they had to go to the store to buy milk. I wish we would have known that since we were on our way to an important meeting,

I used to love coming here for the setting, but the horribly rude baristas are not worth the coffee.

Folklores Coffee House is a unique coffeehouse that gives you a mixture of feelings once you step inside. It feels like a mixture of fun, novelty, folklore and coffee.
The place is small, the ceilings are high, and the wall art is everywhere. I ordered the iced Siouxie Latte for myself and a bagel for someone else. I walked around to view the wall art while I waited on my order, which was an additional treat. The barista was kind and completed my order pretty fast. The latter was really nice and I enjoyed the toasted marshmallows on top. I was told that the bagel was delicious as well.
I will put Folklores Coffee House on my list of places too stop by when I'm back in the area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
