About this place
The Folly Coffee House is a café in the kitchen of Settle's historic Folly building on Victoria Street. It remains open while the Museum of North Craven Life is closed for renovation until 2027. The operator advertises coffee, tea, cakes and lunches, with Monday to Saturday opening from 10am to 4pm and Sunday closure.
The café welcomes dogs and offers children's menu choices. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are advertised; speak to the team about ingredients, allergies or specific dietary requirements before ordering. Speciality afternoon tea requires at least 24 hours' notice, and table bookings can be arranged directly with the café.
The front entrance has four uneven steps with a handrail. Building works have affected access arrangements, so confirm the current wheelchair route with staff before travelling. There is no on-site visitor parking; Greenfoot is a nearby pay-and-display car park. A café visit does not include access to the closed museum galleries.
