An absolute lovely local, super friendly family business. The atmosphere is one you could get happily lost in for hours and the coffee is truly next level. You really couldn't ask for anything more.

Had a girls get together after work. An hour catchup turned 5 hours of wine , cocktails, cheese boards and bites. The atmosphere was perfect for our catchup . It could quickly become our once a month ‘book club’ meeting space !

I’ve been here with some friends on a Wednesday night for the first time and i loved it! The cocktails were delicious, the atmosphere was nice and chill and service was excellent. Will come back for sure!

Great place to drink cawfee and create mischief. Kids toys and books are available...albeit not a lot of them Food is generic in type but delicious in flavour. Friendly place and customer service is peaceful,fun and redlynchy..... Cawfee hits that good mark, but misses the spectacular. My guess is, it could achieve greatness with stronger darker and higher quality beans.

Folly was a perfect space for a party ~35 people. The staff were loving and created a wonderful atmosphere.

We went for coffee at first, but then the service seemed to have turned into a bar. (Or perhaps we were just drawn to grabbing cocktails without checking if it was an appropriate time for coffee.) By the time we noticed the sign saying it was happy hour, we realized we could get cocktails for $12 each. I appreciated that the staff kindly informed us about the deal of the day. It was a great time to treat my friends in Redlynch on my last day.

Charming Café with a Unique Twist! Folly in Redlynch is a delightful spot that brings a breath of fresh air to the Cairns café scene with its distinctive ambiance and decor. The interior is a charming mix of rustic and modern, creating a cozy yet chic environment where you can easily lose track of time. The attention to detail in the decor, with its quirky art pieces and comfortable seating, invites you to relax and soak in the atmosphere. The ambiance is enhanced by the soft, ambient music that complements the style of the café perfectly. What really sets Folly apart is its exceptional staff. Each member of the team is not only friendly but also genuinely enthusiastic about making your visit memorable. They engage with guests in a way that adds a personal touch to the experience, making you feel truly welcomed and valued. While I haven't explored the menu extensively, the overall vibe of Folly makes it a place I'd recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a stylish yet unpretentious setting. It’s a solid choice for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon away from the hustle and bustle. A little gem in Redlynch!

This is a nice coffee shop tucked away in a small shopping area in Redlynch across the road from the Red Beret. The coffee shop is rather small as there are not enough tables, so you would have people standing awkwardly around. A lot of bar stools which are very uncomfortable. They don't have much of a menue unfortunately. I would have liked to have seen a bigger menue. The cakes and muffins are good. That being said, the coffee and the Matcha late was good. Another good thing is they have Cocktails to drink in the evening. The sevice was very good. Friendly staff. So I will definitely go back.
