Crema's Take

Folks Café is a family-run hidden gem where Tammy and her team treat every visitor like family, creating a genuinely warm atmosphere that keeps people coming back for the exceptional espresso drinks and authentic Argentine empanadas. Their slow-sit vibe—complete with cozy indoor seating and a charming outdoor area—makes it the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast or meeting a friend, especially if you're the type to linger over a cappuccino that actually packs a punch.

Such a cute little coffee spot! Family run, Tammy is so warm, kind, and welcoming. Cozy inside with a cute outdoor seated area. Absolutely the perfect definition of a hidden gem. Empanadas are delicious as is the coffee! Definitely our number one go to coffee shop now.

Food was great, staff was amazing. They saw my daughter was loving the oranges, and gave us some extra! Empanadas were great! Will be back!

If you want an authentic empanada that’s offered in several varieties, then check this place out. We got the choripan empanadas, banana walnut bread, a croissant sandwich, and coffees. The empanada pastry was flaky, and the filling was delicious. I was given a huge slice of banana walnut bread, and it was the best banana bread I’ve ever had. The Vietnamese coffee was, in a word, life changing. I’m going to have to find places near me that also serve that style. It’s a small building and can get packed quickly, but be patient. It’s well worth the wait!

Folks is a great little hole in the wall place to get a coffee and breakfast! The food items I tried were exceptional, the cappuccino was tasty and packed a punch, the seating areas both inside and outside were so cool and homey, and the service was excellent. This is one of my favorite small businesses in Wilmington, and I wished I lived closer to it so I could go there every day. It is a must try in Wilmington!

So the atmosphere is amazing, it true this is a hidden gem. The lady that took our order is super sweet and welcoming. The older man who made our coffee was super sweet as well. We love their the Vietnamese coffee it was delicious. The food needs major upgrades! I had the breakfast bowl and the eggs and potatoes were under cooked, my wife’s hammer sandwich was served with thick eggs most like a microwave eggs and thin ham it looked only one piece of ham was given. My wife also tried the empanadas (beef) unfortunately it was given to us cold.
