This is my favorite & only coffee shop I go to. Ran by a wonderful family. Coffee beans are roasted on site. Plenty of flavor varieties to choose from, They also have a wide variety of tea's. The breakfast sandwiches are awesome & the desserts I can't even begin to say how good they are. Well worth going to. Empanada's are my favorite

Such a cute little coffee spot! Family run, Tammy is so warm, kind, and welcoming. Cozy inside with a cute outdoor seated area. Absolutely the perfect definition of a hidden gem. Empanadas are delicious as is the coffee! Definitely our number one go to coffee shop now.

If you want an authentic empanada that’s offered in several varieties, then check this place out. We got the choripan empanadas, banana walnut bread, a croissant sandwich, and coffees. The empanada pastry was flaky, and the filling was delicious. I was given a huge slice of banana walnut bread, and it was the best banana bread I’ve ever had. The Vietnamese coffee was, in a word, life changing. I’m going to have to find places near me that also serve that style. It’s a small building and can get packed quickly, but be patient. It’s well worth the wait!

Food was great, staff was amazing. They saw my daughter was loving the oranges, and gave us some extra! Empanadas were great! Will be back!

Folks is a great little hole in the wall place to get a coffee and breakfast! The food items I tried were exceptional, the cappuccino was tasty and packed a punch, the seating areas both inside and outside were so cool and homey, and the service was excellent. This is one of my favorite small businesses in Wilmington, and I wished I lived closer to it so I could go there every day. It is a must try in Wilmington!
