A beautiful gem hidden next to the railway lines where you can literally feel the vibrations from the trains passing by. It was a very pleasant experience indeed.

The interior decor is stunning as you enter, and they even have a fireplace where you can keep warm during those chilly days. I chose to sit outdoors since it was warm and I wanted to experience being right beside the train tracks. And I was surprised by some beautiful vines with pink flowers growing across the fence. Not only where they stunning, they provided shade for some of the seats. I was lucky to get a shaded spot.

Their prices on the menu were super reasonable. I ordered a freshly baked apple, granola and cinnamon muffin. It was such a treat and I can recommend it to muffin lovers out there to give this a try. Of course I had to try their coffee – I had their cappuccino and it was fantastic, not very strong or hot like some other coffees. The cup is so big that I honestly think two people could share it. On top of all this, the presentation of the food and drink was excellent – both coming on a mini wooden board. It was just very cute.

It was lovely watching the trains stop and go on the two tracks. Should you feel like taking the train to St. James – that is a brilliant idea as well. The stop is literally behind Folk Cafe.

The Cafe truly exceeded my expectations and now I am more inclined to check out what else St. James has to offer. Thank you sir.
