Lovely little coffee bar with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were genuinely friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The coffee was excellent. I was also very happy to see they stock cinnamon buns from The Street Bakeshop, which are hands down my favourite. A great spot whether you’re grabbing something to go or sitting in for a quiet moment. Highly recommend.

Morning treat at Folly Coffee Shop! Popped in first thing today for a decaf coco cappuccino and it was lush! Cosy vibe, friendly staff, and the perfect start to the day. Will definitely be back!

We chose to stop here as we were passing through based on the reviews. We were not disappointed! Lovely staff, quick service, good coffee and a delicious citrus morning bun. Nice to see different pastries from usual

Popped in for a coffee, which was wonderful! I also left with a Californian sandwich (spectacular) and a Cinnamon bun (stunning). The service was very friendly, warm and extremely quick. This family run business is quite exceptional and I will be back every time I’m in the area.

A beautiful spot for a coffee and lunch! It is clear it is a family owned business with a personal touch. Deacon's coffee is creamy and the sandwiches are excellent. I can't leave without some cakes and goodies made by Jade!! I LOVE THE FOLLY!!!

A truly wonderful family-run spot for lunch, coffee, cake and all things nice! I met old friends here for a delicious lunch. The atmosphere was lovely - light and bright, full of smiley locals and friendly staff. The coffee was delicious, with a big selection of alternative non dairy milks (I am allergic to oat) and the brioche buns absolutely exceptional. I had the California which was so tasty, and wanted to try them all! The menu is amazing and very reasonably priced. The cakes were worthy of being in a cake museum. All the food is handmade by the owners and it is clear so much care and thought goes into everything at The Folly. I was on a trip to visit Jane Austen's House in Chawton just down the road - and will definitely be back! Thank you The Folly!

Delightful find! Easy parking in the village, lovely, friendly service. I asked for an iced mocha and they even shaved some chocolate into it! Lovely seating outside too. Cakes were so fresh and not too sweet!
