Quiet relaxing atmosphere. Good vibe with plenty of street parking. There are a few options to choose from with two barristas working the counter. We walked in a little before noon on a Sunday and it was peaceful. The barrista was quiet and just getting started it looked like. I showed her the coffee I wanted from a photo and she knew immediately which one it was. The prep took a bit but this is not just an ordinary coffee it’s art. Delicious and perfect for a Halloween treat.
The little (pronounced ‘Susie’ - spelled uniquely) has jumbo marshmallows on top of coffee, that they torch to crisp/melt the marshmallow, topped off with chocolate syrup. (The coffee itself is great.)And the hot chocolate (that is not on hand written menu but you can ask for it to be made), Was good! 😊 👍🏻(Each cup in photo is a 10oz) Xoxo
Really cute space. Employees are very friendly and gave great recommendations. I tried the Lotus drink which is supposed to be a natural energy drink paired with a sparkling water. The flavor was great in my opinion! My friend had the Bexar latte and he was a tad disappointed as he couldn’t taste the cinnamon. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be coming back.
If you want to enjoy delicious coffee while taking in the view of the largest military medical/combat medic training facility in THE WORLD (Fort Sam Houston), then Folklores Coffee House is for you! I tried the Pumpkin Churro Latte, but I highly recommend el vato Loco! The drive leading up to the coffee house has quite the historic aesthetic. I definitely recommend adding this spot to your San Antonio coffee tour.
Staff is friendly and welcoming. Shop is clean (and near a comic store!). Tried the Two Tone Latte, but it wasn’t as good as it sounded. I love the unique drink selections and will definitely be trying other items on the menu.
Drove from Devine to meet with gal pal who drove in from Wimberley just to check out something different.This place was so worth the trip. A clean friendly local business. The owner is so positive and entertaining. .A true asset to the San Antonio community. I had the Watermelon Lotus drink and was not disappointed.The shop walls are full of some of the most interesting artwork that really tell a story .We will definitely be repeat clients.CheersKathy and Beverly
Only one coffee attempted thus far but Im very much impressed. It has the normal high prices that are to be expected but the bang for the buck is worth it. Ill be back.
Great customer service with friendly and knowledgeable staff.
This place was wonderful! And their coffee is no joke, it is powerful, flavourful, and nicely spiced if you get a specialty coffee. I had the Oi¡ and the cinnamon flavor was excellent. It was also good to be in a safe place. Im so glad this place speaks up for the immigrant and lgbtq communities. We went on a Sunday and it was quiet and comfy.
Good coffee. Nice staff. Pretty views of the historic Fort Sam buildings across the street.
Love the vibe here! Everything was good - would love to see them expand their food offerings a bit
Cool vibe and decor, but the coffee wasnt as good as Id hoped, based on the reviews...Not bad, just okay. Its worth the stop if you enjoy exploring new cities via what I call, Coffee hunting expeditions. Its a cool way to see different parts of a city, often times tucked away in places you might not otherwise explore.
Love this place !!! I explore all the coffee spots in San Antonio but this is the place I get cravings for ! I love the s’mores coffee, I feellike my childhood memories & adult life crashed into that drink 😍& I never had banana flavored coffee before so the sheena quickly became my 2nd favorite !
My sister and I walked in a bit confused as to where to go and what to order.We were greeted with smiles and two ladies who helped explain where the menu was and where to pay. The cashier was incredibly sweet and helpful. The coffee was great...I had the joker which was super fun with cereal on top. My sister has a light roast and another specialty coffee she loved them both! The atmosphere was wonderful. Absolutely recommend!
Nice cafe with friendly staff, cant speak for the fancy drinks as I only had a plain latte, however it was not bad, but nothing to rave about. Location is great, Id still return for sure.
Got a speciality drink the Cuban and man the guy knows his craft. Drink was perfect for a hot and humid day. Space is small and cozy. With tables outside if you would like that option as well.
Bomb coffee in a badass historic part of town... will definitely be back
Wednesday cool day in the 40s so I didnt ride and decided to stop here for an Espresso! Fred made me a great espresso and we talked for a short while as the store was empty. Definitely good coffee. I will come back again, soon!
I recently just found this gem, best discovery ever! I got the tagalong which was so amazing from the look of it to the taste. All I can say is.. WOW it’s so yummy and not too sweet. I believe the lady working there was Morgan, she’s so sweet and helpful. Will be back soon!
This is a cozy hole in the wall coffee shop with great eats and friendly customer service. On arrival we were greeted with smiles and all of our questions about products on the menu were answered thoroughly. The food was so delicious and wasnt too sugary. This was super important to me because I do not like sugary foods. So any sweetness came from the honey or the berries. The cbd shot in the sheena coffee was super relaxing and didnt hinder the taste of the coffee. Lets just say I was super relaxed during my visit. Each of these items alone were perfect and filling for breakfast or lunch alone. You could come in for a coffee and a fully loaded bagel and leave feeling super satisfied. The CBD shop was cute and cozy and the juices were so delicious. I purchased a sample of the juice and you could tell it was freshly made and again, the CBD oil did not hinder the taste of the juice itself. All in all, this is a super cozy spot that I will be returning to in the future!Wanna see an in-depth video of the inside? Just type in CaffeineCarnalas in YouTube and check out the Folklores video review!
This is a hidden gem!! Really enjoyed their coffee. The picture I provided is one heck of a banger and don’t forget to add the CBD oil that they offer. It’s a $4 CBD shot but totally worth it if you’re looking to chill out and enjoy a nice coffee spot and connect with friends. Plenty of space too! Customer service was astounding as well and it’s hard to find a good coffee shop that has this kind of service!
This is GREAT new coffee shop!! The coffee is fantastic! The service is outstanding and food is great. We had the oatmeal and muffins and both were super. We will be coming back for the house coffee and lattes.2019 Apr 5- such a great place to grab a coffee. Today it was Siouxsie. The Mexican chocolate makes the drink!
A couple of friends and I went to visit this coffee shop this morning. It was amazing. The people who work there were so kind, extremely kind I have not experienced this anywhere else in San Antonio. Their house coffee is so delicious no need for cream or sugar. And their specialtuly drinks are a perfect blend blend. The atmosphere in this place is super chill and so comfy. We felt at home in the coffee shop. They have a take a book leave a book library. Couches and chairs and tables. You can work there or just go and cbill. I will most definitely be back. Oh and its close to lackland afb just a little bit of off i90. Check this place out!!!!!
My new favorite! Two tone is my love language 😍
Omg!! Try the vatos rudos on ice.
This place is amazing. The coffee, service and atmosphere is amazing and relaxing. Love this place and highly recommend it
I followed them from their S. Flores location to where they are now. Theyre wonderful!
RUN to Folklores to get the HOT CHOCOLATE. Hands down the best EVER! Only missing a bit of peppermint schnapps...Immaculate, great service, and a true example of supporting our community.
Bexar county Latte is the best in the city
The service is great and the coffee quality is good as well, Love it to have some coffee out there.
Great Southside San Antonio gem brought closer to the community at Ft. Sam Houston (JBSA). I loved my expresso with pan dulce and the awesome customer service. GO LOCAL and visit this coffee shop that has a lot to offer to find a place in any coffee lovers ❤️.
Cute place. Staff was nice. I was really looking forward to the drink with the roasted marshmallows on top because I had seen the pics for several months on FB. Ordered that drink and couldn’t wait to taste it. Unfortunately it tasted like dirty water. Seemed very watered down or something. A few days later I saw them post there was something wrong with their machine so that may possibly be what it was the day I went as well. I will be trying again one more time and am hoping I can change to 5 stars.
Good coffee good vibes 🖤💙
Owners are very nice, and the banana milk espresso I got is amazing.
The drinks and pastries were good. Staff was nice. Presentation was nice.
Nice staff. Fun drink flavors.
Great location to chill, eat some good food. the staff was friendly and sociable. food is similar to a cafe in indianapolis i loved.
I would first of all THANK YOU for taking the box &a bag of food to my mom. She was aware that she received this small token of love from Folklore Cofferhouse. All my siblings and I are very grateful and blessed. I am writing this because my mom went home to the Lord she earned her wings on May 3 at approximately 8:00. She was 91 years young and left 2 son and 5 daughters and 14 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. AGAIN, THANK FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND YOUR BIG HEART. YOU SERVE OUR LORD WELL, GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇😢❤❤❤❤❤💙💙
Excellent service and perfect cubana latte
Cute little coffee shop on S. Flores! it is nice to see businesses revitalizing the area. I was super excited to grab a coffee and sit and journal or read for a bit. I ended up just grabbing a coffee and pastry to go. I do plan on visiting again, however there was no where to sit!!!I would recommend maybe some tiny tables to be put in for seating for 1 or 2 people. The tables they had were taken and one large table with space for 4 was taken up by either an employee or an owner?? Out side they were having an event and I got to buy some lovely items, however no seating was available outside either. The pastry was not fresh and i was disappointed they had no other items available to snack on.
Incredible!!! The shop is welcoming and the coffee is fantastic!
Amazing good pure coffee
One of my favorite coffee shops!! Good selection of drinks and they carry pastries from area small bakeries. Very cool and comfortable atmosphere (a huge step away from very commercial coffee shops) which makes it a place you actually want to hang out at. They have a variety of events like book readings/signings, art expo, market day, etc!! Fun and cool and the owners are genuinely fun and cool people!! Gotta check them out!!
Friendly, cool spot to get a great cup of coffee or pastry. No other place like it, must try!
I love this place always quality food & service. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again.
It was me & my moms first time there & the lady working was very unhelpful & when we asked her a question she gave my mother a very mean & disrespectful look. Saw this place on Elder east was very excited to go, big disappointment.
Best all around!
Good selection of drinks.
This place is awesome.
10/10 would recommend this place! Affordable and friendly staff! Most expensive thing is probably $7. Such a welcoming and calm atmosphere! If you haven’t been here you need to be here.
Love a place where you can get something fun and unique for the same price as (or less than) something from a chain. The atmosphere is really chill and cozy, and I love going there to work or just relax. Im so glad its close to my job!
Really impressed by this place. Not your run of the mill coffee shop. Had a blonde roast coffee, a coffee drink with cereal milk, and bread pudding. It was all really good, though not necessarily traditional. Highly recommend checking it out if you like fresh creative takes on coffee or if youre feeling adventurous.
Myself, my partner, and our friend had gone to yalls shop today and we were excited as hell to support a local business. But all that changed when the cashier was really snarky with us. Telling us that we couldnt do certain things with our drinks. We ordered 5 drinks, 2 that were supposed to be cold and they werent. The other 3 were wrong. 7 people came in after us and recieved their drinks before we did! I understand that your space is small and you have limited people, but it was very unprofessional to be serving other people in front of us for 10 minutes. Then to top it all off, we got an extra drink that wasnt even ours. I want to give yall another chance, but spending 20+ dollars on the wrong coffee kinda sucks.
They held a networking and fundraising project for Period. Great gathering and tasty drinks. Owners are super nice. Only local coffee shop on the south side.
GREAT ATMOSPHERE!! The staff was very welcoming and kind. I tried the coffee and was blown away!! Delicious!! I opted for the one with CBD and I felt very good all day long. No aches or pains. It REALLY IS WHAT IT SAYS IT IS!! IM A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!
I tried the Vato Rudo and a bagel since they were out of the other munchies so next time I’ll be a little earlier. It has nice cozy rockabilly/texican vibes with their wall art, I like the little patio area, they have plenty of parking. Will definitely be coming back here to try the rest of the menu since what I had was really good, starbucks who? Their service was fast and the owners were really nice.
I absolutely adore this place. The interior is homey and vibrant. Its what I would call Grandma Chic😉. The straight drip coffee from 1885 roasters is great black. Its a great space.
Quirky Southside authentic, really a relaxed joint with great personality to boot! Love the decor and the staff is always up to suggest something that will fit your taste. Love the art and local flair that really give this coffee house a high rate for me. That and the fact they are active and really involved with the community so even more of a reason to be a patron, that and the coffee is really amazing!
JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR WHAT UR DOING. FOR SOUTHSIDE ELDERLY GOD BLESS YOU.
Great coffee, unique menu
We went for the first time today and right away it felt welcoming. This coffee house is amazing from the coffee to the people. We will be returning. Thank you to the staff for being so nice and explaining the menu.
I loved this place, full of character and really cozy, I was greeted immediately upon walking in. There were a few fun options for coffee and some regular cups of Joe if youre not that adventurous. This is place I would definitely bring my visiting friends and family to show them a cool coffee spot.
Vato Rudo all day
A visit to the coffee shop is a must. Step in and try one of their delicious signature drinks. While there, have a seat on one of the couches and relax as you enjoy your beverage.
I have discovered there’s no such thing as too many marshmallows in your hot chocolate. So yummy! Also recommend the red velvet muffins.
Awesome atmosphere.
Great coffee!
Love this place. Super friendly people and the drinks are so good! The owners are fantastic!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Folklores. Pros 1.) seating: There are stools and a variety of couches so you can lounge or be productive 2.) the drinks: they have specialties so you really feel like you are at a unique place 3.) it’s locally owned...like south side local😀 sorry gentrifiers this one is authentic 4.) playlist was spot on (90sand early 00s jams that weren’t overly loud) I will definitely go back and recommend to others.
Intimate coffee shop, was a great place to do some work on a Saturday morning. Lots of unique drinks and good music on when I was there!
Love this place! Such delicious creations! They also have a little shop and CBD oils too!
Awesome little coffee shop!
Inviting coffee shop with good drinks and friendly service. The owners are wonderful people with a good heart
