A table with three plates of food, glasses of rosé wine, and a bottle labeled "Love Drunk" rosé wine. The plates contain salads, bread, and other dishes. One person is holding a fork, and another's hand is reaching toward the plate.

Folk offers a curated selection of small plates designed to complement coffee, non-alcoholic beverages, and wine. Our menus are intentionally simple, seasonal, and ingredient-driven focused on quality, balance, and ease of service.

We do not offer full-service coursed meals. Instead, we take a more intimate, casual, yet elevated approach to dining that emphasizes sharing, grazing, and flexibility for group gatherings and events.

A few favorites:

  • Artfully Arranged Boards & Spreads
    Cheese, charcuterie, seasonal crudités, dips, fruit, and sweet accompaniments designed for sharing and grazing.

  • Signature Wraps & Grain Salads
    Hearty, nourishing, and visually composed, ideal for lunches, gatherings, and light dinners.

  • Pastry Spreads, Seasonal Sweets & Coffee and Tea Service
    Curated selections perfect for morning meetings, retreats, or special moments.

  • Vegan, Vegetarian & Gluten-Free Options available
    Always available, seasonally driven, and prepared with the same care and intention as all offerings.
