I love this place. The barista’s are so nice. It’s a great location. Great for walking right after I love it very good coffee too very small comfortable home hallmark feel.
Been here a few times now while visiting family in the area and have always enjoyed the vibe and the coffee and wish they had a larger space so more people could hang out. It’s popular and often difficult to sit down inside. The owners are creative in their beverage offerings and naming. I haven’t tried their various seasonal favorites but they do seem popular. They do seem more focused on the fancy drinks that include coffee/espresso than on the coffee or espresso itself but it seems to be what their customers want and it’s working so good on them. Definitely like to support local independents so no problem recommending this to others. Check it out.
One of the best if not the best coffee shops I’ve been to. The owner is incredibly inviting and down to earth. It’s a fun surprise to see what the monthly theme will be. She always comes up with such amazing concoctions for each month and each drink is a must try. If you are local I recommend making Folklore a regular stop. If not take a road trip. Folklore will alight your taste buds, senses and take you on an adventure.
I cannot say enough fantastic things about Folklore Coffee! Their owner and team are incredible and each time I come in, I have the best experience!!! Their seasonal menu is new and fun each month, my favorite this month is the Leo and Aquarius!! Everyone needs to visit Folklore, it’s the best place on Earth
Dont sleep on this spot in Lemont if you are ever in the area! The coffe is sooo good that i would take it over Dunkin an Bucks every day! They also have tea's an some snacks to pair with your deinks. Owner/Staff are great. Atmosphere an decor is awesome!
Nestled in the heart of downtown Lemont, this charming coffee shop offers a delightful experience. Not only does the coffee possess a robust flavor and exceptional taste, but the ambiance of the shop is equally inviting and pleasant. It evokes the essence of a quaint small-town coffee shop, which I find particularly appealing. The young staff member who works there is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, providing excellent assistance in selecting our beverages. Additionally, the prices are reasonable, and the shop is wheelchair-accessible and pet-friendly.
Amazing coffee, muffins, service. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable. They also sell little flower bouquets. Cozy atmosphere.
