What a find! Small spot but epic. The cold brew coffee is crack, the spam masubi is some of the best I've ever had, the avocado toast is like no other. I came back before I headed out for the breakfast sandwich my best friend recommended is a a must! read more

First things first... it's right by the beach and all the stores, so perfect location and service!! Prices weren't bad either, especially with how filling the food is and how flavorful the drinks are too. I ordered the salmon bagel and an iced dirty chai. The salmon bagel isn't what you think, plus there's potato chips in the sandwich (so good!!!!). I will say that since the location is small, they have very very limited indoor seating, and have more outdoors, but is still limited. I would recommend to either grab a table quickly, or take it to go and eat by the beach. Overall, highly recommend!!! read more

Grabbed coffees here with my group while on my bachelorette trip waiting for our spa day to start. It's a small location with little room for all the people lining up to order, but they did a fantastic job of keeping the line moving and the coffee orders coming. The coffee itself was quite tasty! read more

Dead Low Coffee is awesome! Once we found it, we stopped trying other coffee spots on the island. My only regret is we didn't find it until our second to last day on vacation. The coffee is strong and delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly. Dead low does have food that looked awesome, but I did not try it. It is also more of a grab and go spot with very limited seating being available. Don't let the long line scare you. It moves quickly and it's worth the short wait. read more

Went twice on my trip to Folly. Espresso is great! Matcha was alright. Lavender syrup is very subtle and hardly added any sweetness, so maybe ask for extra if you want it stronger and sweeter. Overall a cute place and prices are pretty fair! read more

Stopped for a coffee and bite to eat before a morning beach walk. Iced mocha latte provided the caffeine fix. The BEC was quite unique, boasting hashbrowns and a gochujang ketchup on an everything bagel. The egg scramble and everything bagel were cooked to perfection, but the bacon came up a bit soggy. Server was kind and even brought us our food on the patio despite being slammed. What really stole the show was the atmosphere and decor on the outdoor patios. Great little hang out spot. read more

Quality coffee, simple menu, food looks solid as do the pastries. Their storefront is small but well-decorated--I really liked the aesthetic of all three shirts they had for sale--and they are pretty quick at making drinks, unlike a coffee shop around the corner I'll leave unnamed. I got an iced vanilla latte with oat milk both times and was happy. They use Minor Figures oat milk (good stuff) and I think their vanilla is house-made (but not 100% on that, I don't see any vanilla bean flecks in it). Slightly off aftertaste that might be the vanilla or the oat milk, but it's ambiguous enough that I don't care. It looked like they had good outdoor seating, and from their website, it looks like they are rolling out mobile ordering soon. Fingers crossed--that would make it even better. read more

The food was good. The sandwich was good and the coffee was good and we had decent customer service, but I think you need to change the name and also the service person at the counter shouldn't be making drinks right slap dab in front of the customer from the register, she should have a working area away from the customers face. It doesn't make sense. read more

Should change their name to "Fed Slow" or perhaps "Cash Blow." Aside from taking forever, we paid nearly $18 for a single Acia bowl the size of a baseball. In all fairness to this place, it was tasty. But Listen: we live in one of the most expensive resort towns in the country, a place filled with multimillion dollar second homes and thousand dollar a night hotel rooms. There is NO WHERE at home with the nerve to charge those prices. No where. Never again. Sorry. read more

My friends and i were visiting from out of town and we were so excited to find this place right next to the beach !! I got the musubi and an iced vanilla latte which were both chefs kiss, they were actually SO good that the high made me completely forget my purse in the store until my friends and i had driven 110mi away. Called the store and they were so kind and understanding and friendly and before i even asked they offered to ship to me ! Thank you dead low for saving us an extra 4 hr round trip (although y'all if i was the one driving i would've done a quick 180 to try more of the menu) and for the musubi that's altered my brain chemistry i'm forever indebted xoxo hope to come back soon :') read more

I really loved the atmosphere--laid-back, beachy, and welcoming. The outdoor seating area is clean, spacious, and perfect for soaking up the salty air. Pets are welcome on the patio too, which made it even better. Inside, there was only one woman working during our visit, but she was friendly and handled everything with ease. You add your own milk and sugar after ordering, which gives it that casual local feel (though if you want almond milk, they'll add it for you behind the counter). It's a great little spot to start your morning before heading to the beach or exploring Folly's shops and surf scene.
