Coffee House
Winner of Museum Cafe of the Year 2023 at the Museum + Heritage Awards.
The Folly Coffee House is situated in the cosy kitchen of our 17th century building. We’re proud to be rated the #1 café in Settle on Tripadvisor.
Our varied menu uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Pop in for a coffee, a cup of tea and a piece of cake, or something more substantial. For lunch, try a generously filled sandwich or some hearty homemade soup. Why not follow it up with a homemade cake, scone or scallywag?

We have children’s options on the menu and can provide high chairs, and colouring in to amuse little ones.
