Such a cool and chill spot! If punk rock meets 90s classic is your jam, this place is for you. Hubby and I had the brexter, Cuban b (I think). Mine (Brexter) was delicious. It was the right amount of all the things. I am light wait so only 1 shot of espresso for me. Hubby also enjoyed his coffee. We had 3 everything bagels with cream cheese. We were either hungry or the bagels were that good. It's probably a combination of both. Now, let's talk about the kindness of the staff and the vibe of the place. I forgot to request alternative milk. We were just going to purchase another cup with almond milk. They made me a cup without charge. How sweet is that. Additionally, my husband saw a board where strangers can buy each other coffee. So naturally we repaid their kindness by getting two strangers a cup and left some notes of encouragement. With everything happening in our world today, this was a beautiful reminder of kindness. So pass it on. Checkout this dope, please and buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Until next time, blessings! read more

This spot has an eclectic, retro aesthetic that captures the essence of the new wave and post-punk era. The Vato Rudo was sooo good. It's definitely a must-try! It's made with espresso, horchata, and a caramel drizzle, and it's served iced only. We also tried the Siouxsie, made with Abuelita chocolate, cinnamon, and roasted marshmallows, and it did not disappoint. Will definitely be back! read more

First time to this coffee shop. I like the unique variety of their menu choices and the fact they also serve food in addition to beverages if you're running low on body fuel! The service was very friendly and helpful and the ambience is such that you don't mind spending time there. They are willing to customize things as you request which is also appreciated. Today I tried the jasmine coconut lime tea, and it was refreshing on the super hot day! read more

Got a blueberry lavender iced latte that was delish! The syrup they used in it was so good! I liked the vibe of the place, plenty of seating and great music! The food was hot and so good! Both my coffee and my bagel came out fast and both of the workers I saw were super nice and helpful. Wish i got the pizza bagel but they were out. Need to make another trip back soon to try it! read more

Went in for the coffee, but damn that breakfast bagel was bomb! Okay, so first things first. The place is full of punk and alternative music memorabilia. I also loved the Beetlejuice and Little Shop of Horrors decor. The barista was very friendly and chatty with the patrons. You can tell that people enjoy this spot tremendously. I ordered a banana latte and was not disappointed. The banana flavor was so prevalent that it just kept me going back for more. The vato rudo was equally delicious. Now back to the sandwich. First, I should've listened when the gal asked if I wanted my sandwich cut in half; however, she also said "so you can share." And no, I didn't want to share. That was a mistake. The sandwich was huge and delicious and I devoured it and had many regrets later. I mean, I was so stuffed I couldn't finish my coffee. That was technically my only regret. The sandwich was fantastic. I would absolutely return for a good breakfast bagel sandwich. read more

Probably just had the BEST matcha so far in San Antonio here. This place is usually my go to for coffee, but I ventured over to the matcha with banana milk. I don't know if the banana milk is store bought or house made, but it was super refreshing and felt like I was eating a nice ripe banana. Pairing it with the earthy matcha made it perfect in my eyes. Not sweet at all which I like about matcha these days, the "sweetness"comes from the banana milk. I love coming here. The ambiance makes my alternative girl heart smile and I hope they don't take this off the menu. TRY IT!!! read more

Was in search of a place with some tasty coffee and found this one. It's outside JBSA in an "unconventional" area but nonetheless, it was a great experience. I took a while to order because everything sounded so good. The staff helped me decide by providing me their recommendations. Highly recommend. read more

This spot was super cool. From the old school band flyers, to the newspaper that had some really fun and interesting reads. Then the drinks; the Vato Rudo was delicious.. the horchata was flavorful.

Really rad inside. Reminds me my days meeting up with friends getting coffee & going to see a punk show, but unfortunately got taken advantage of because I had my kids with me & over charged me. $22 for 2 kids size hot chocolate & 16oz Siouxsie. Also was out of marshmallows, which ain't a big deal but if I'm paying for a fancy foo foo drink would maybe discount price a bit.. all good I won't be back , hope the extra $10 was worth it . Maybe I should have wore my misfits shirt lol. Anyway I don't recommend. read more

Came here for the first time as I was working close by. Very cool interiors. Very "thriller" vibe, casual, and very interesting. I ordered the Cuban B and it was delicious. Service was great, friendly, and fast. Absolutely Recommended. Very cool and interesting place for coffee. I found myself exploring every sticker, every small unique finds, and just loving the interior decor. read more

I love Folklores. The entire place has an electric vibe that takes me back to the younger days. I almost feel like I'm back in my bedroom listening to my New Wave music. The coffee and other drinks are always very good. The service is great and these people are always doing charity work. I once helped load a truck full of donations they were taking to flood victims, while I stopped in for some coffee. read more

Ohhhh Folklores Coffee House, you are the coolest little spot to come in and either chill out with a great coffee or pick one up to-go. Now that you moved around the corner from your original OG spot I like you even more! Now you got a second level with couches and a whole good vibe going up past the coffee bar. You are so so dreamy now and with all this room I am jealous I haven't been able to come in when you got live music or musicians playing. There are tables for couples or groups to meet nearest the register. I also noticed there is a cold case filled with other drinks in bottles as well if you are feeling another way of getting caffeinated (without coffee) on soda or have a Topo Chico. Looooove the decor, posters, and the even the community board around the corner of the coffee bar/register. Be sure to check it out read that during a few nights within the week or month there are book clubs, hangouts, and get togethers that make this spot their meet up spot. Service is fast but depending on when you go (weekend verses week day) you may have to wait a little but chill out. Take a look at the artwork on the walls, ready the community board, and / or connect to the WiFi and browse your socials. All of the coffees and drinks they offer here are super unique and always make me smile on the naming conventions for their drinks. I recently went during Halloween and they offered lattes and iced coffees with the coolest names themed around Halloween. Also if you are not into coffee no worries - they have juices too. I also love that they now offer bagels, croissants, and even oatmeal for you to get if you come in during the morning time. Don't even bother by going to chains around this area for your coffee or juices - you need to come here and support a local spot that makes you feel like you are hanging at your coolest friends house. read more

After feeling tired mid afternoon, we came into this place for a pick me up. We were immediately greeted by the barista who gave us excellent recommendations with a smile. The drinks were REALLY good. The ambiance is chill and there is comfy seating which seems to be hard to find in surrounding coffee shops. There were a lot of punk and emo looking people chilling and having a good time when we visited. I wanted to put some guy liner on and fit in, but didn't have any unfortunately. This place was fun and fit our chill vibe. We will be back, and next time we will lay claim to the couch upstairs! read more

Great coffee meets Tex-Mex punk. Been coming here for years and glad they were able to move to a location that allows them to maintain a very unique vibe while also offering the more "traditional" local coffeehouse setting. The bean blend is my favorite in all of SA; they get their beans from What's Brewing, which is my favorite coffee spot, but the blend is exclusive and can only be purchased in-house at Folklore. Staff is always friendly and makes drinks to specifications. Always excited to stop in. read more

First time trying this place, and I'll definitely be coming back! They do an awesome job creating a vintage horror atmosphere with all the posters, and the food and drinks were great. I got the Siouxsie because of the roasted marshmallows, and I totally get why it's one of the favorites. read more

The food was very unique and tasty. I had the Brie and berry croissant. The latte was also delicious. If you are over 50 I would recommend not trying to do any work as the lighting is red. Difficult to see. But if you are just there to hang out-fine. It took a minute for the barista to notice we had come in. But they were pleasant and helpful. read more

My go-to hot coffee is sugar-free vanilla latte. Not many spots still offer SFV but Folklores does! Best part was super cool barista who made that delicious SFV latte with coconut milk. Great service. And happy to see the alternative milk options to more than just almond milk. The ambiance is super chill with a vibrant, edgy and nostalgic decor. There's a comfy loft if you want to hideout and enjoy your treats. Bonus is there is a small parking lot right next door. read more

What a fun hidden spot near the quadrangle. Loved all the art on the walls. I was told several items were donated and many of them have interesting backstories. Apparently, some of the skateboards have been donated by a local well known skater who signed them. Some of the pictures featuring famous artists were donated by a local who loves that the owner takes a day to give all the daily earnings to the baristas. How amazing and how often do you find such generous bosses like this?! I ended up with a chocolate banana americano and it was delicious! My only issue was parking. Best to get here early to get parking out front or in a tiny parking lot around the corner. The rest is parking at your own risk. It's a bit small inside so not great for large groups, but great for solo , couples or on the go. I will have to come back on another day I can get here early and try some of their other coffees and goodies. read more

I feel like I've been hearing about this coffee shop for years but it was not at all what I expected - the horror/punk theme was somehow a surprise despite being a big part of their brand. Came by on a weekday afternoon for drinks after a day at the zoo. The barista was super friendly, and I like that the menu has a mix of traditional coffee and tea drinks with some unique specials - my mom had their version of a horchata latte with caramel while I had the rose vanilla latte special, and my husband had a hot chai. We all enjoyed our drinks and it was nice to get out of the sun for a bit in their large dining room. I wish this spot had been here when I went to UIW! read more

The theme really is grunge and is heavily decorated that way from the seating area to the bathroom. I honestly just wasn't a huge fan of the lattes. They also were very stern about their five o'clock closing and we were scooted out the door so the barista could leave. read more

Super cute little coffee shop with yummy drinks, nice merch, and great art. I ordered the cowboy(iced) and it was very sweet with really no coffee flavor - more of just a vanilla protein shake taste but it was good and I'd order it again. The cowboy I was told only comes in a medium...but as a recommendation to the store, I would serve it in a large and dilute a tiny bit of the sweetness by adding more coffee to it. That would have made it perfect. It's a bit too small for quiet book reading, working etc. As it can get loud when there are a bunch of people in line in a small place. I hope to come back when I'm in town again and I recommend others to try this place out. read more

If you come here for a regular latte it won't do much satisfaction. However if you come here to get one of their creations then you would be happy you did. This is not a place to get a good standard latte but a place to go all out. The service is good and the upstairs is a nice little nook for a book although the music is more rock music then coffee music. I give it a 3.5 but since there is not half system I'll go to 4 as I choose wrong at first but was glad I got of their there crazy creation after my regular latte. Banana milk latte does not reach Bright levels but is okay. Get anything with marshmallow here. read more

This small grunge/ punk rock/skater /ska / 'Rocky horror picture show' themed coffee shop is located in a not so busy part of town. I came here for a private show a friend played his music at and let me tell you the selection of caffeinated sweet drink were soooo delicious! The sweet pastries we got here were sooo yummy and original! So anyone that enjoys a little weirdness in their life mixed with sweet coffee drinks and pastries you need to check this place out like yesterday!

A funky '80's Punk- themed shop with a radical vibe that makes an excellent espresso served quickly with a smile and accompanied by some great music tracks. I had a cappuccino which was perfectly made and drank it in their loft lounge up the stairs in the back (it's great as long you don't mind it being warm). If you are going to Ft Sam and want a cuppa joe, it's just outside the gate. read more

We really enjoyed the campy spookiness of this coffee shop! We found free parking in a small parking lot nearby but it looked like there was more parking in the back of the building. This location has an upstairs room that you can reserve for free as long as your party is purchasing drinks. They have fun themed drinks that are quite delicious. We had the pumpkin spice and nutshell, both were great. Loved the decorations! They have craft nights and other events here as well.

Great coffee and very friendly people. They helped me choose beans and explained the flavors simply

Was super excited to come here for the first time, the interior was cool, love the decor and theme they are going for. Me and my husband decided to go for their holiday theme coffees, but were very disappointed when our coffee looked nothing like the photos they were advertising with. My husband ordered the Krampus latte and did not receive the whip, and the cookie was at the bottom of the latte. It tasted just alright, if you go I would recommend their coffee over the matcha. I ordered the Gremlin matcha and it just tasted watery and was very light colored to be honest. Maybe it was an off day for the barista, but left a bad impression for us. Also to add - we paid $15 for both lattes, so I would say they are not the most pricey I've had but I would've expected better experience for a $7 drink.. read more

This coffee shop is really cool! I had the pumpkin horchata coffee! You tasted all the flavors and it didn't overwhelm the espresso!

Folklores Coffee House is a unique coffeehouse that gives you a mixture of feelings once you step inside. It feels like a mixture of fun, novelty, folklore and coffee. The place is small, the ceilings are high, and the wall art is everywhere. I ordered the iced Siouxie Latte for myself and a bagel for someone else. I walked around to view the wall art while I waited on my order, which was an additional treat. The barista was kind and completed my order pretty fast. The latter was really nice and I enjoyed the toasted marshmallows on top. I was told that the bagel was delicious as well. I will put Folklores Coffee House on my list of places too stop by when I'm back in the area. read more
