Folks Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
What's better than fresh roasted coffee and empanadas?! This cafe is a gem. We were warmly welcomed with big smiles. The owners are so kind, you feel like you're at home. We ordered 4 different types of empanadas and got the Lite and Medium roast coffee. All for $18. The coffee was so delicious. You can taste the love in the cup! There is indoor seating with cute homemade artwork on the walls. We can't wait to go back
The food is amazing and the coffee is delicious!!! Highly recommend!! They roast their own coffee!
Went for breakfast before an appointment downtown and was greeted by the warmest environment! Service was fantastic and I felt like I was family immediately and I could tell other guests felt the exact same way! We ordered one of each of the empanadas and they were all so worth it! I recommend trying them all to see what you like and they're also so reasonably priced there's no reason not to! Also can't say enough good about the coffee! I got the Folks Mocha and it was seriously so good! Haven't had that good of coffee in awhile! Will definitely go back! Loved every inch of this place!
Friendly neighborhood coffee shop with the BEST cappuccino! Cozy and cute, seems to be family run
Amazing hidden gem. This is exactly what Wilmington is built upon. The inside is so charming and smells amazing as soon as you step in. The patio outside is awesome as well. It was our first time here but the hostess treated us like we had been there before. Amazing food full of flavor.
I luv this place. I felt like I was in my Yayas kitchen. The owners are so sweet and make you feel like you're family. The empanadas are delicious. We had the beef , sausage and chicken. They hav3 a nice assortment of pastries as well. We had the cinnamon roll and I had a chocolate chip cookie. They also roast their own coffee that was amazing. I got 2 bags of beans to take home. Don't miss out on the gem.
The empanadas were delicious and the coffee was divine! The honey ginger latte was perfect!
Delicious food, friendly service. Empanadas are wonderful, and a great selection is available. The bakery items are fresh and very worthwhile. A great way to start your morning.
I felt like I was home. The service is awesome and they take the time to get you what you need. We drove from Surf City, and it was 100% worth the trip. The Vietnamese coffee is the best I've had in the states. Period. And the empanadas are amazing. This is our new favorite and go to breakfast spot!
Visited for the first time on a Tuesday morning. Not a busy time. I had a latte and veggie burrito. Both were outstanding. They roast their own coffee beans - sounds like selling their beans is a good part of their business. I saw several bags sold when I was there. Inside seating is a little small but there's a nice outside area. Very friendly staff, great vibe. A little tight for parking and it's only a block away from a high school. Neither was an issue for me but may be a consideration. I'll be back - in a couple days!!
