We love North Folk for their gelato, and coffee. The cookies are great for the kids. Great atmosphere and vibe as well.
I ordered for my dad's 60th birthday. First off, it was beautifully decorated, and a perfect size for the party we had. It looked delicious. We cut into it, and everyone commented on how great the icing was...however the bottom half of the cake was very dry, almost stale tasting, while the upper half of the cake was dry as well. Everyone picked through their piece to eat it with icing, which was very delicious.

Service was very friendly and efficient and staff seemed happy which is always a credit to a place - Perth is a lovely town to visit generally as...
Read moreMay days filled with sunshine after a very long winter set the scene for patio fever. Heading to Kingston from Ottawa my daughter and I decided to stop for a quick snack at Norfolk Cafe's sidewalk patio. The shop is delightful, brimming with locally made products, artists' work, baked goodies and oh, that ice cream! After serious consultation with the ice cream specialist we settled on a raspberry in a cup and a unicorn cone, and split a large chocolate chip homestyle cookie. It was the perfect combo and a nice change from a popular franchise's offerings. The ice cream was creamy, flavourful and every mouthful was savoured. The cookie was the perfect accompaniment as we enjoyed our snack watching Perthians and tourists stroll by. Very much enjoyed our food and our break in the early spring sunshine. Will...
