"Folklore is one of the most magical places you could stop in for a cup of coffee. Not only will you get an amazing drink, but the customer service is top-notch. From community events, celebrating birthdays, and being a pick me up in hard seasons Folklore is there for you. Every week, I genuinely look forward to not only getting an excellent cup of coffee, but getting to talk to some of the greatest people in my community. I also love that every month brings a fun new theme and some of the tastiest seasonal drinks around!"

"Folklore Coffee is on my list or reasons why my husband I chose to move to Lemont. The owner and employees are positively lovely to order from, the decor and atmosphere is cozy and homey, the coffees are delish. The perfect small business owner local spot for a cozy cup of coffee. Whether you live in Lemont or not, be sure to stop by!"

"One of the best local coffee shops around. They even have tea that I like. Always trying new drinks and a great atmosphere inside. The owner always makes sure her customers are taken care of!"

"Folklore Coffee in Lemont is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the kindest, most welcoming staff who make you feel like a regular—even on your first visit. Everyone is genuinely friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows in every detail. The monthly menu is so unique and thoughtfully curated—creative without being intimidating—and everything is delicious. The coffee is outstanding: rich, smooth, and consistently amazing. You can truly taste the care and quality that goes into every cup. And then there’s the owner—an incredible human. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and heart for the community are unmatched. She pours so much love into this place and into the people around her, and Folklore feels like a direct reflection of who she is. She supports the community in meaningful ways, uplifts others, and creates a space that feels warm, inclusive, and special. Folklore Coffee isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a place you want to come back to again and again. Lemont is so lucky to have it. ☕"

"I LOVE Folklore. It's my favorite local coffee shop! I love my little drive down to Lemont and make special trips just for this coffee shop❤️ The staff are kind, welcoming, and always get my order correct. The space is cozy and the cryptid theme makes it so fun and unique.The shop is adorable and effortless in its appeal. One of my favorite aspects of Folklore is that the drink menu changes every month. I prefer coffee shops that change their drink menu. It gives me a reason to return often, try new flavor combos, and see the shop owner's creativity. Tess is one of the best coffee shop owners! She is the right person for the job. This shows in her collaboration with the local community, hilarious promotional content, fun merchandise, dedication to quality, and how hands-on she is in the success of her business. Folklore is the best!"
