Folktale Coffee & Bakehouse

They have delicious in house teas!

Makes you realize how bland most commercial coffee chains are. Instead of a flat, general coffee taste; each drink tastes unique, and delicious. From frappes for kids to drip brew for the older folks, something for everyone.

Plus that handsome barista Josh.

Traveling through Corbin from Atlanta and was so pleasantly surprised to find this gem in downtown. The coffee was amazing and for sure gave me the pick me up I needed. Also their baked goods are baked fresh by one of the employees wives you MUST try the pecan bars if you like pecan pie. The decor inside is very well thought with a 70s vibe at the front and more modern art and photography decorating the walls. Great natural light from the windows. My favorite part of this place by far was the “Community Coffee” wall which I took many photos of to put on here for all to see. Such a kind and caring movement!!! You are able to buy a cup of coffee and write who it is for on a coffee filter to be hung on the wall. For example : “Cup of coffee for any first responder” “cup of coffee for any teacher” “cup of coffee for a single mom” the dozens of pre purchased coffees for people filled my heart with happiness. Also the two men who worked at the counter the two times I visited while in town (sadly can’t remember their names for a proper shout out....Greg or Todd?) were so patient in explaining everything to me and helping me pick exactly what I wanted! The only recommendation I would make is that they make the outside of the store more obviously a coffee shop. Possibly a large coffee cup decoration on the yellow brick wall? Was a little tricky for an out of towner to locate coffee by the signage out front. Hope this place stays around a long time and is very successful can’t wait to visit on my next trip to Kentucky!

Very friendly service every time. Coffee is the best in the entire region! New menu items and flavors appear often. Great comfy place for a long chat with friends or a quick grab and go. Highly recommend!

This place is a little overpriced, but the food and drinks are very good! It is spacious and comfortable inside, and most of the time the service is friendly. The hipster vibe might not be for everyone, but the overall atmosphere is laid-back and old-fashioned, very charming. Favorite place to meet up with friends or to study!

Better than Starbucks. The server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks were perfect. And the vibe was excellent.

The BEST cappuccino I have EVER had. My mother couldn't help herself but get a second caramel latte. My brother absolutely loved his iced mocha. My step-dad was captivated by the tasty, healthy, and eco-friendly kombucha. My little sister, the only non-coffee drinker in the family, thought her minty hot chocolate was amazing, and tasted like "a York peppermint patty". The cashier was one of the nicest people I've ever met, and the overall cleanliness and positivity of the room was exemplary. My only complaint is that I'm only passing through and I can't find anything like it back home in Ohio! Definitely a MUST for anyone else passing through. A wonderful start to my spring break vacation.

I've always loved this place. Such a calming environment and a place that holds memories. I only ever get the loose leaf green tea and it is always amazing. Would definitely recommend. I love to spend time here to get some of my summer work completed and the vibe of this shop is absolutely perfect for getting work done.

Very friendly staff. Best and only coffee shop in Corbin worth going to. Games are available for playing. Live music sometimes. If you don't want to drive to London for Dunkin or Starbucks...check this place out.

Super cute, clean and fresh local baked goods 👌
