Cute, cozy and quaint cafe. Parked for Free on the street. Not many tables inside, but there were still open spots for us to sit down. For breakfast, tried the meat lover omelette, egg and cheese, croissant sandwich, and two empanadas (beef and choripan). I liked how all of the dishes were garnished with fresh spinach leaves and an orange wedge, making them look colorful and appealing. My partner enjoyed his omelette, which included chorizo and julienned ham slices. Omelette was presented differently than the typical omelette, with it cooked/shaped as a bowl and stuffed in the middle with fillings. They don't make croissants in the house, but they bake them so it's nice and crispy. It was very filling. Next time I'll add ham to it to give it a salty taste. Empanadas were delicious. Served with a chimichurri sauce. Beef empanada was a little bit on the sweeter side. Their espresso machine was broken so they only had black coffee. Black coffee was alright, nothing special, but, it was nice to drink hot coffee out of a mug, making me feel like I was at home. They have coffee cards, which you hole punch yourself. You get a free coffee after getting 10 hole punches. If you care, your clothes might have a little bit of a cooking smell after being in the café for a while. read more

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!! read more

Honestly, I am a little scared to make this review because I don't want too many people to know about it! This is a hidden gem in Wilmington! If you were looking for a true South American home-cooked meal this is the place! It's owned by a couple. The wife I believe is from Ecuador and the husband is from Argentina. They make traditional dishes and put all of their love and energy into them! Don't expect to go to this café to work on your laptop. There is no Wi-Fi! This place cultivates genuine human connections! You have to actually talk to someone when you're there! Or if you really are introverted, you can just read a book and sit by yourself! Overall: the food is great and the atmosphere is super cozy! 10/10 I would recommend. P.S. Their hours are not up to date and they have a handwritten menu daily! read more

Folks Cafe is a locally owned cafe in the northside downtown Wilmington area near Hi-Wire Brewery and the Cape Fear Museum. The owners are an adorable Latino husband and wife duo who provide a welcoming atmosphere. The interior is a collage of folksy paraphernalia all over the walls and random yet cozy furniture that invites people to stay and chat. They switch the coffee on tap everyday or weekly and very knowledgeable about the flavors and complexity of the beans. I love the homemade empanda options in the display and other sweet delights they offer. There's also some other savory selections to satisfy both your breakfast, lunch or snack needs. During the pandemic their hours have fluctuated but they also expanded the back of the cafe with outdoor seating which is very nice and somewhat shaded. Definitely nice, almost secluded cafe that feels like a community. I recommend giving them a try if you're in town for a visit, just moved in or looking for a place to add to your morning routine. Also, for linguist enthusiasts they host Spanish meetup and willing to converse with those learning the language. read more

When I think of coffee & breakfast, I think of this place. Small, warmly welcoming, full of bright colors and bursts of local & international flavor and accents, Folks is emblematic of the intersections of food and friendship that a port city should have. They roast their own coffee, and roast coffee for a number of restaurants in the city, and their Rx lattes are a feast in and of themselves. Today, we tried their Fig Latte, frothy with perfect folk and slightly sweet due to the figs and homemade fig preserve woven together with perfectly steamed milk. Quirky, delicious, friendly as all get out - Folks is an intimate glimpse into the beautiful possibilities of delicious diversity. read more

Folk's Cafe is a sweet little local cafe we stumbled across on a weekend trip to Wilmington. We could tell there's a good local gathering and it was overall a cute place to stop. It appears to just be the owners who run the cafe and they do take their time with service, but seem to enjoy what they do. We took their lead on pastries for breakfast and ordered some coffees to eat in the cafe. Overall things were good and they did a great job of dressing up our food. I also got a ginger-latte and it was very gingery with fresh ginger in the bottom. My biggest suggestion would be for the ginger to be in a tea bag because the ginger chunks really ruined the end of my latte. Overall, we were pleased we stopped by, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back, hence the 3 stars. read more

I never expected, when I pushed the door to a very unassuming building open, to find anything close to a good cup of coffee. But hope pushed open the door and I went in expecting at least something I could drink without wincing and thinking I had mistakenly picked up a cup of water from my paint brush to sip. Walking in, you might be forgiven for thinking you've entered a place which specializes in the resale of items plucked from a garage sale. It is a cacophony of furniture--artwork, and chairs, tables, benches and lamps. There is so much visual stuff going on, it is hard to find the menu, or the food at first. Really. But I spied something that made me stay. Actually two things. One a tray of chocolate chip cookies that looked "real". They were NOT smothered by saran wrap. They were real, looking like someone within a proximity of 20ft actually baked them. Ok I'll bite. One latte, one iced coffee. The latte beats anything McStarbucks can do. Beats the beloved local Port City Java chain of muddy brown water. Would Folks Cafe beat Portland or Seattle or even Durham? Possibly not, but if you really know you coffee and want to sustain your tastebuds to the highest level available, you won't go wrong here. They come fairly close to Stumptown perfection. After sitting for a spell as they say here in the South. It was evident that a great number of the patrons were from "somewhere else'. Australian and British English accents and the lilt of Spanish wafted through the air. Who knew this quiet little place was really the United Nations? I saw, as I was trying to negotiate what Folks had to offer, other baked goods and specialties. I will be back to enjoy what is clearly a community space mixed with a good heart, an eclectic sense of decor and good solid coffee. read more

Delightful, cozy, and the Argentinian pastry was delicious: a shortbread cookie sandwich with dulce de leche in between and rolled in coconut. Also a fig ginger latte which was so special and tasty - perfect amount of sweetness and zing. They make the preserves in house and I saw another reviewer complaining it was too gingery because they encountered ginger pieces? Personally I really appreciate a fresh and made-from-scratch approach, plus it was delicious. I guess some people should stick with artificial syrups for snow cones and Starbucks in case they get too triggered by real ingredients. Love the vibe and location- definitely stop by! read more

The empanada choices were: chicken fiesta, barbecue pulled pork, steak, mozzarella, and spinach and feta cheese. I didn't try the barbecue pulled pork.

I felt like there wasn't that much feta cheese. The empanada dough itself was great-crispy, only a little bit oily. I chose chimichurri and barbecue sauce as my two sauces. There were nice to include a third sauce on the house, the Pico de Gallo. All the sauces were good, but the Pico de Gallo was my favorite of the three. Pico de Gallo is a must get sauce.

Fresh ingredients, nicely seasoned- both of us full and happy. As retired chefs, this place stays on our 'not cooking tonight' list of places to go! Good spot for carry out too.

I decided to come for lunch one day in between work meetings. I figured it would be a quick lunch in the Cargo District food court. Unfortunately, quick wasn't the speed. It took almost 25 mins to get my empanadas. Granted, they weren't busy so maybe not fully staffed, but I was late getting back to work. In positives, the dough for the empanadas was delicious! Super crunchy with hot fillings on the inside. I tried a cheese one (fantastic!) and a Philly cheesesteak one (also fantastic!). They were super hot and took awhile to be cool enough to eat so I know they were super fresh. The cilantro sauce that came with them was delicious and tasted yummy with the plantain chips too.
