We were passing through the area on a roadtrip, and did a search for coffee, and Folktale popped up. The pictures drew us in! Staff was very friendly. Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a rush, so that was okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's lots of seating and the natural light really makes the place bright and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cappuccino was smooth and hot. And the baked goods were fresh tasting and yummy. A great little coffee shop with tasty treats! read more

Welcome to Folktale Coffee and Bakehouse! Located on a cozy corner of a festive brick street, this inviting cafe was the perfect respite from the chilly winter gusts. As a coffee connoisseur, I'm always on the hunt for a perfect mocha. My quest mates with me, we tried the rich and creamy mocha latte, silky homemade hot chocolate, robust Cubano, and refreshing and unique Farmer iced tea. We also tried their golden speculous and salted chocolate chip cookies. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Art and legend drift like an ambient candle through the atmosphere of this establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brooke, the one woman army, was like an informant tavern keeper, answering all our questions, taking our orders, and crafting our drinks with careful diligence.

My husband said the smash burger was okay. I ordered the Avocado toast because all the ingredients sounded intriguing. After waiting 30 minutes they came and said my husbands food was ready but they were missing a few ingredients for my order. I was charged $13 for 1 piece of bread a small amount of avocado, a tiny sprinkle of pistachio and 5 mandarin oranges. I spoke very kindly to the manager and got a "I'm sorry this happened" but nothing more. Very disappointed. Personally 2 stars is being generous In my opinion. VERY EXPENSIVE TOAST!!!! read more

Wow--what an incredible find! Passing through town on our way to Knoxville and needed a bakery. So happy we found this coffee and bakehouse. Delicious, visually appealing pastries. The dark berry scone is incredible! House made coffee flavor syrups--I've never even heard of this! That is a sign of an owner who cares about is being served to the guests! Yummy brunch sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All wrapped in a cute, rustic coffeehouse shell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent, friendly customer service. I was missing an item on my sandwich, the gentlemen (perhaps the owner) was apologetic and fixed the issue without hesitation. Great service. You all are a rock star team--I look forward to visiting again!! read more

We had the Blueberry and lavender drop scones. They are served warm and fresh. Totally amazing. We also had the Sourdough toast with lax- it consist of house made sourdough, which smells amazing, topped with smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese, lettuce and red pickled onions. My wife had the House Bagel, it is made with sausage, egg, cheese, and toped with avocados , tomato and lettuce. Amazing place with great service and a relaxed environment. Will be back, one of our top choices in the Corbin Tourism and Convention Commission Restaurant Week event. read more

We ordered the double espresso chocolate chip brownie, which was phenomenal- and SOMEHOW the maple-bourbon latte topped that! sooo yummy! We also LOVED the Gravy Hash! The Blueberry Fruit Infusion tea was quite flavorful as well. So glad we stopped here on the way to the Cumberland Gap, would recommend read more

Spent almost 55.00 and couldn't even fix the egg right. It was okay but not good at all. Pancakes was greasy, Eggs crispy with no run in them at all and when I was upset and let the owner know, he found it demeaning and argumentative. Take criticism and improve! I will not go there ever again and DO NOT RECOMMEND. We use to get coffees and they aren't consistent. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Waste of money! Way overpriced on the food for what you get. read more

Wow, food was amazing. Eggs, bacon, sausage, and even the break had a lot of flavor. Latte was good. My wife and kids love their meals too. We drove 3 miles off the highway to try this driving through. Well worth it read more

Gosh, this place is so nice. I love the aesthetic! Great coffee, splendid music, amazing vibes. The staff is also super friendly! Easily my favorite place in Corbin, and probably the best coffee shop I have EVER been to. Do yourself a favor and order the bourbon latte! read more

We were traveling through town and found them on Yelp. We didn't check the hours and showed up after they closed. They still served us coffee despite being closed. The owner was very friendly and was telling us all about the different breads they make in house. He recommended books for cooking with Sourdough breads and was extremely knowledgeable. It says a lot about the company that we came in after hours, still served us, AND we're friendly about it. 10/10 solid group of guys. read more

Love the environment. We try to stop here whenever we're in the area! Good place to sit and read or visit with homemade goodies and good coffee read more

Best coffee around also their Avacado toast is to die for. Lovely people and a relaxing atmosphere. I will return

The food was delicious. I had a breakfast sandwich and my wife had avocado toast. Coffee was great, the cold brew was ok. I would definitely go back. read more

I love the addition to this "newly" redone coffeehouse in my hometown! It has always been a struggle finding great coffee in a small town, but not anymore! They brew Counter Culture Coffee which is one of the best in my opinion! Their selection of sourdough bagels is a nice touch, since I'd venture to say most people have never tried a homemade sourdough bagel. It's a super clean and friendly facility as well. So glad this place is here! read more

You & Me Coffee & Tea is no more. The new business is Folktale. We stopped by around 3:15om on a Sunday afternoon passing through on the interstate. The prior establishment Yelp site says open till 6:00pm. New place actually closed at 3:00pm. Nonetheless, these gents stopped closing cleanup to treat us exceptionally well and sold us some drip coffee even though the main machine was shut down. The staff was way above average on friendliness and hospitality despite the natural tendency to simply want to lock the doors and go home. Will definitely be stopping by my next time through read more

We were driving home from out of town and wanted to stop somewhere for some good lattes. We found that this was the only place open in Corbin on a Sunday morning.

Love this place. Friendly staff and excellent coffee and baked goods. Kids loved it. Definitely recommend this place.

Coffee is outstanding. The pastries have lost touch and the sourdough is becoming monotonous and overused. Very smokey inside which is a bummer. The owners are amazing and the quality of the coffee is immaculate. Needs new ventilation and revamped, consistent, smaller menu read more
