I have been following Folklore Grove on IG and FB since before they opened, and I have to say I was NOT disappointed! Their café has cozy meals with the option to build your own sandwich, and their food was a delightful when accompanied with their beautiful books. The bookshop itself is well-stocked with a lot of interesting new read options from local authors. I love that they support local and have many things to browse through in addition to books, such as bookmarks and handmade craft jewelry. I highly recommend checking this place out if you've got a little time to spare!
I was in their browsing for at least 12 minutes in a little book nook that at is no bigger than 5 x 5 by however, tall, and the girl that was in there went out of her way to not acknowledge me one bit not one bit, but neither did anybody in the sandwich shop connected to it so I guess that’s the little vibe in there. If you know what I’m saying, I’m gonna keep it moving. I was trying to support a small business that had disability representation and it was just mean girl energy. The whole time would not recommend absolutely not. No reply can justify the absolute coldness that thing displayed toward me.
Currently attending the Brimstone midnight release event. It’s fantastic! Themed drinks, games… new friends 💯🔥
A cozy little bookstore tucked away in a sandwich shop. It has a great fantasy vibe, felt a bit like walking into a tiny magic shop. The selection isnt massive but since its well curated everything was worth picking through. Quality over quantity. My wife spent a fair amount of time perusing and made a purchase from a local writer. It would make a good place for a lunch date.
I love this place! They have many book options to choose from and cute bookmarks and funny stickers! Definitely gives the vibes of folklore.

Where books, bites, and magic come together in a cozy haven for readers and dreamers.
