Texture rules the menu: the Sourdough Cinnamon Roll crackles with a flaky crust, the center stays warm and cinnamony with a bold heat. Breakfast Burrito brings savory steam and a satisfying chew, while the London Fog Cake Donut offers a soft crumb with a crisp edge. The Sage Cardamom Latte coats the palate with resinous spice and oak milk, finishing with a clean snap. Folklore Coffee is a cozy, communal hub where stories flow as freely as the coffee.
