Nestled in the sleepy square of
Elizabethtown,PA, Folklore Coffee & Company is the perfect way to start or end a hectic
day. With simple décor and a spacious set up, Folklore has enough space for
just you and a friend, or you and a study group (but who really studies
now-a-days anyway). With much of the lighting resonating from a string of light
bulbs lining the windows, the ambiance has a warm, sleepy feel, or romantic had
I had someone there to experience that with. I sat at the window with my
addictive Nutella Hot Chocolate and my friend Charlotte. As the town fell asleep, we were waking up.
They had a number of drinks
including, hot chocolate, coffee, chai, tea and many more. Their name is apparent
even on the menu board as their drinks are titled anything from Hansel &
Gretel to Papa Bear, The Sleepy Hollow and Random latte. It is this nice touch
of nostalgia that adds excitement to ordering your drink. Despite how late we
arrived, the employees were more than happy to make our drinks. Our drinks were
ready in a mere five minutes leaving the majority of our time to be spent in
fellowship, not waiting for our order. There was the perfection combination of
dull conversation and a fantastic playlist of The Lumineers, Mumford Sons, as
well as a combination of hipster bands I've probably never heard of. Open from
7 to 10 everyday but Sunday, there is plenty of time to check out the adorable cafe
Folklore keeps the guests coming with live music, children’s story time, and the
option of renting out the space. With such a big venue, there is no excuse not to
head into Folklore to sit for a while. Had I not forgotten my purse in the cafe (not realizing it until I was at the gas station down the street) it would have
been the absolute perfect evening. Kudos
to the honest patrons who let my pocketbook remain in my seat unharmed during
my absence.
