Pilates House Lemont & Folklore Coffee grip socks? Yes please.
Represent two of your favorite Lemont Downtownbusinesses, because coffee and Pilates (or matcha!) go together like me screaming “ow!” while doing 100s (iykyk)
Grip socks are available at both locations starting today, so grab a pair while you can!

We were very honored to be asked to serve coffee again at Medinah Country Club for the Northwestern Medicine Golf Outing!
The staff members at Northwestern Medicine are always so welcoming and put on such an amazing event! The hard work they put in behind the scenes really shows, and it is so exciting to be apart of the day in a small way.
Event days are long, but so so so much fun when you work with the best!

I've said it before and I'll say it again- we have the best customers!
Starting tomorrow at 7a until it runs out, 1 drink per order will be free due to the generosity of one of our favorite regulars! On Good Friday, so many people donated to the "train" that we ended up with almost $300 in "pay it forward" coffee orders!
We appreciate these small acts of kindness that contributes to making someone's day!

🎃🍉 My favorite one-day-only menu is creeping in this Sunday, June 21st!
Stop by Folklore Coffee in Lemont Downtown to try one (or all!) of these drinks while supplies last! Every year we hope that Basement Ghosts makes an appearance, so maybe we’ll be lucky enough to get spooked by her this Sunday 👻
