The perfect coffee shop if you're looking for a place to hang out or get work done! It is very spacious inside and they have plenty of tables even when we came on a Saturday. This is the best coffee shop in the 20 minute radius of Hershey. The Papa Bear cappuccino was amazing! Love that their menu has many creative options and all at a reasonable price. They also have a food menu. Easy to find street parking. Will be back!

First visit today and I was impressed! Great location, nice ambiance, and kind baristas. I got an employee-developed drink with iced tea, lemonade, and blueberry-rosemary syrup. It was tasty, but quite sweet. A plain black coffee got a thumbs up from my very discerning brother-in-law, and my sister enjoyed her lemonade. I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie, which was delicious: buttery, chocolatey, and soft, each bite was consistent and comforting. Sister and BIL got the Grizzly Adams, a big bagel sandwich with all the meats. They really enjoyed it--and it smelled delicious. Two cons from this experience. First, slow service. On a Saturday morning, two folks working behind the counter seems like understaffing. The baristas were rushing and it still took 15+ minutes for a bagel sandwich to come out. Second, the Ronald Reagan picture on the wall. Wtf. Overall, a good visit and someplace I'd come back to again--as long as I'm not in a hurry.

This is a nice, spacious café with a big menu! My Lost Cuban sandwich was delicious. It's not super kid friendly even though my friend and I brought our babies.

Excellent!!! Such a cool place with nice decor and good coffee and snacks. We searched for a coffee shop in the Star Barn area and this place was open and sounded good. Sure happy we tried it. My wife and I both had the Ol St Nog latte, oh my goodness so good. I had a piece of coffee cake and my wife had the brownie, both were absolutely delicious. Service was pleasant and helpful. Definitely better off stopping here and supporting the small business instead of the chain shops.

During a time when not supporting chains like Starbucks due to their support of genocide. I ventured and found this lovely local coffee shop. I haven't spent much time in Etown, so when I went inside, I was blown away by how cute and relaxing the atmosphere is. I tried mochas and lattes and they sure did not disappoint. All of the staff I encountered were kind and helpful. Highly recommend stopping here, to support local and enjoy a quality cup of coffee!

What an adorable and cozy place! My husband and I moved to Etown not too long ago and we decided to stop in. He got a pumpkin spiced latte and I got a chai latte. Definitely legit and fresh ingredients were used. Priced about what you'd expect for a cafe. Staff were friendly. Inside it was moderately quiet (this was a weekday late afternoon) so that was nice as some cafes can be overstimulating.

We chose this coffee house for two reasons: They were open (novel concept!) and the name, as hubs has a thing for folklore. It did not disappoint! The service was outstanding - the owner was there my second time (yes, we've already been there twice) to answer some questions I had about their energy bites... and he personally made our drinks that were AMAZING. They stock a number of local goodies, including a chocolatier... and I won't tell you how much of that we bought... and ate. I got the baked oatmeal and was shocked it came out as a giant square... poured the steamed oat milk (you get your choice of milk & toppings) over the yummy, melty chocolate chips and it was so good I've had it twice! The gluten-free banana chocolate chip muffin was so dense I had to save it for later & had it as part of lunch. I'm sure we'll be visiting Folklore again while we're in the area!
