Folk

Stopped in before a massage nextdoor for a coffee and breakfast. I noticed the music on their patio as I walked up although it's February. It felt intentional to set the ambiance from the moment you walk up. I sat at the bar because I dined solo and everything i observed was super clean and notably aligned with their values (highlighted goods for sale from woman owned businesses). My coffee was presented on a small serving plate and the flatware was beautiful - again, intentional. I enjoyed the waffle and it was brought out so fast and it was perfect. Light but also crispy and delicious. My entire dining experience was about :30 minutes which was much faster than I anticipated on a busy Sunday morning. They include a hospitality percentage at checkout and it appears it's a tip share model to provide balanced wages for the entire staff. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and was really impressed.

This spot is small, but absolutely beautiful. It's worth doing an early brunch with a reservation. I would not attempt to eat here on the weekends without one. I also think it's important to note that the inside (in my opinion) would not be comfortable for larger people for people with mobility aids. Especially when it's busy and people are in line to order. I got the BLT and a blueberry latte. Both were so good! The aioli on the BLT was so 10/10. The only thing I wish the latte came in a glass instead of a plastic cup. I also love all of the local products they have on display.

Was extremely disappointed in the experience had here. Having never been before I had no idea of what their process was to place an order or anything so my sister-in-law and I stood around for a moment before being acknowledged yet spoken to as if we knew what to do. Even after explaining it was our first time, the staffer didn't soften or apologize for the presumption. We reluctantly ordered beverages and stepped back outside to wait for them. A different staff person who observed our interaction came out and offered an apology while cleaning a recently vacated table. My order was received and my brother even went in, ordered and received his order. My sister-in-law eventually went back inside to find her drink order had been prepared and was just sitting in there. Needless to say I have no desire to return here. The second star is solely based on the apology that was given.

I came here on a Sunday morning, and the first and most prominent thing about this establishment is it's size.... it is tiny!!! We were greeted and sat ourselves at a small 2 person table, where we were quite literally elbow to elbow with adjacent customers eating. Now, outside of this school-cafeteria-level lack of space, Folk is pretty hipster and filled with expensive looking decor and cute items & packaged goods available to buy.NOTE: there is not a parking lot!I came here on a Sunday morning, and found this establishment to be cute but small. Small to the point you must be elbow to elbow with other customers!! Perhaps this was because I came at a busy time, but just know, you should expect to be in VERY close quarters during brunch time on weekends.If you're willing to put up with this very packed restaurant, this food was pretty darn good. I ordered their breakfast crunchwrap, it came with a small salsa, and it was delicious! This is the kind of restaurant where you order at the counter however they did still bring the food to our table. They include the gratuity in the bill- you should expect to pay around $20 per person here.

Phenomenal food and service. We loved the attention to detail with our meal, pastry (coffee cake), and drinks. I loved my cappuccino. While my man prefers space, that simply isn't a priority to me. The table close next to us emptied before we ate our whole meal. I look forward to seeing a greater selection of wine by the glass and bottles to enjoy there (perhaps for a corkage fee). Excited to return for this high quality food.

Pricey but absolutely worth it. Crunchwrap is great, but I recently came for traditional brunch and it was amazing. My friend got the parfait and it looked exquisite. The Nosh plate is everything you could want on a morning plate: house made biscuit, jammy eggs, bacon, greens, cornichons, pickled onion. Make sure you get a reservation (and order up a seasonal coffee drink--they are so good!)

Fresh, intimate, and progressive. The menu is seasonally inspired and gives one a lot to think about when selecting. The idea of the crunch wrap smote me. I mean, frittata, tostada, spicy jack, chipotle aioli, and salsa verde sound like a resounding YUM, and I guarantee that it was! I paired it with a masala chai. I should note that I modified the Crunch Wrap to be vegan. I appreciate their intentionality with their menu, pairing their food items with drink items so you can craft and enjoy a gastronomic experience! I also appreciate their mission and commitment to low food waste, which is an inspiring model for the food and beverage industry. I'm not that keen about the commitments restaurants or cafes are pledging, so I appreciate knowing that when I choose to support Folk, I'm not just giving my tastebuds a treat but also helping this cafe support a valiant mission. I also find their events are opportunities to weave community, so I recommend attending one.

So yummy! Tiny place so be prepared to wait for a seat on the weekends, but worth it. You can order anything to go though. The biscuit brekky is delicious- a mini quiche, and yummy biscuit (and I added bacon). Everything tastes very farm to table. The ambience is nice and they have an assortment of preserves for sale. There are a couple cute stores nearby too.

A chill eat and drink spot in Corktown. This place serves breakfast/brunch type offerings both sweet and savory along with coffee, teas, wines and cocktails. Inside and outside seating is available and there is an overall general store vibe. We ordered a biscuit brekky - comprised of small fritta like egg w/herb & butter, biscuit & rhubarb jam, two slices of bacon (extra cost) and some local greens. Drink selections included brown sugar spice latte w/ oat milk and iced blueberry flavored matcha tea latte w/ whole milk. The cost was pretty steep as the bacon was an additional cost and service charges are added automatically. Overall the meal was fresh and satisfied my appetite but was a bit underwhelming and the coffee and tea weren't as flavorful as they needed to be.

A super cute market-cafe with lots of vegetarian options and a great mission to reduce food waste. Everything was delicious - waffle, farm sammie, and folk farm plate. The jam was incredible. Everything had the perfect amount of salt. I got delicious cornichons with my farm plate but the person next to me got a huge pile of truly amazing looking pickled carrots. The space is small (but bright and has super fun market items) and they are very strict about reservation start time (though not length). Service was great.
