Reviews of Kentucky Coffeetree Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Micheal Todd

I have always loved this place. Bookstore on one side, Kentucky local business in the other. Great coffees, great baristas, snacks, wine choices. Been a few times around different times of year. Winter is always my favorite bc I can never decide on coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate or soup. The smell of the book store is always a favorite of mine as well.

Mary beth hansen

Delicious food. Friendly service. Indoor/outdoor seating. Excellent coffee. Great live bands. Open music jam on Thursday night.

John Helmuth

Nice quite coffee shop with excellent service

Jennifer Hicks

Half price bottles of wine and music on the sidewalk on Wednesdays!

David Reed

Your classic local, comfortable coffee shop with gifts and books next door. I ENJOY it almost daily.

Shea McCombs

Fantastic paninis

Michael Bradley

Took 30 minutes and a reminder to get my order of a regular latte and an egg and cheese burrito (it was not crowded). My total was $8.30. My breakfast burrito was more along the lines of a burnt panini/quesadilla. I am pretty sure she just made the wrong thing. At least the latte was decent. After waiting for my order, I didn't have the time to try to talk to anyone, I had to get to a meeting . At least the server felt bad and gave me a card for a free drink. I won't use it, because I won't go back.

I liked the idea of it.. I usually really like those kinds of cafes..staff wasn't too friendly..I went 2 times..got a latte the first time ..was wayyy to sugary..the 2nd time my friend and I got sandwiches , was plain with no flavor. :( The noodle salad was really dry.

Kevin Hove

Surprised by the unique tasty food

Neville Weber

Excellent coffee and baked goods; all varieties of muffins spot on

Johnny Sneed

Great ppl

LarryLee Fiber

Good coffees, alcohol offerings, and interesting little pastries and mini quiches. Books to read and a comfortable layout compliment the drink and food.

Greg Wilkerson

The best in the area

Cathryn Todd

Quaint, lovely sweet staff, and great coffee.

william guion

Nice comfortable atmosphere nice place to come in sit down read a book while you drink your coffee food looks fantastic mini quiches were great

Matt Gunterman

The espresso drinks here are excellent. The Americano is my standard. They also serve adult beverages, and that makes it a good location for a weekend brunch and mimosa. The staff are also very high quality and take pride in their work. If you're downtown, plan to have a meal or take a break here.

Kenny Radcliffe

Very chic. We walked in and sat down at a small table to do some photos editing work and we're not pressured to order. I ended up getting hungry so I decided to check the menu. Price hit me first, a plate of hummus for about $7 I think seemed like alot but it was worth it. They have wonderful coffee too. I ordered my go-to white mocha and it was the best one I've had at a non Starbucks coffee shop. It was not overly sweet and had a nice bitter coffee taste to it. They had everything you'd expect, like Americano, and more. You can even buy wine. I found that amazing. The atmosphere was pleasant and I would love to visit again when I am in the area. It feels like home.

Cindy Johnson

Very nice place.

Tom Metts

Great place to have a great cup of coffee, read a book, browse the web, or chat with other locals and meet out of town visitors. Very friendly place.

Keeuna King

Nice atmosphere. Nice people. At little on the pricey side but a downtown gem. If only they would get some avocado #justsaying

Rachel Rhody

This place was so cool! Downtown Frankfort is big and very nice. This cafe offers many unique sandwich, wrap, and breakfast options along with their full cafe, and even a Tiki bar?! There are lots of books and a section where it looks like love music happens. Both sides are open to the shops nextdoor. Everything was very tasty. Staff was very nice and attentive.

Richard Powell

Great place for any age. There is something for anyone. It is actually three store connected by a side door. Enjoy this feature during the cold Kentucky winter.

Isaac May

Awesome in every way. A great representation of Downtown Frankfort.

Herbert Carl Meyer

Quiet, friendly place

John-Mark Clark

Prices were very reasonable. Coffee for under $2 for basics. $3.71 for a mocha. Staff was great. Got food and drinks in just a few minutes. The seating is great. FREE Wi-Fi (info on front register) I will visit again.

Faye Simpson

Unique, homemade, friendly

Christina Jones

Great atmosphere!! Was able to get some school work finished while enjoying a spicy chai tea, Mexican coffee, a baby quiche and a bagel with everything... Cool place!!

Robert Jenkins

This place is a local treasure. The service is good, and the coffee is outstanding. I strongly recommend Kentucky Coffee Tree to anyone!

Alexandra Hale

The ladies working were super friendly and helpful. Cool atmosphere. They only had a panini press and microwave to cook everything on the menu. I was disappointed with my turkey blt. The menu stated it had pesto but came with mayo, packaged turkey, and thick bread. All the coffees had bad flavor. The eggs were a bit odd microwaved. Cool place, nice people, bad product. Not sure why it has so many great reviews. We were disappointed.

Tracey Stough

A cozy, chill out sort of place. Great food and a very nice staff.

Tammy Foster

We needed a good cup of coffee! We were not disappointed! Friendly service delicious mocha!

Josh Varble

Kinda expensive and not really that good. Interior is going for the "cool" retro look but it's just shabby furniture. Young girl behind the counter was very helpful, polite and friendly.

Andrea Delaney

Good coffee, loved the shop. It was a tad expensive. But over all a nice place to have a fancy coffee every once in a while.

Stephanie Gubanic

Brought my eleven yr old granddaughter here for a new experience coffee n scones she said its like paris lol its very nice to us

Jasmine Iniguez

Cozy little coffee shop located downtown Frankfort! Great place to study. Has wifi, pastry's, coffee, and booze. New to the town, looking forward to studying here when it starts snowing

amanda claus

Very cozy place, felt very welcomed and comfortable. Good food and drinks. Staff was very helpful.

Catarina Orr

Loved the energy of employees, several drink options, and customization of drinks

Cate Spurr

Quaint and cozy coffee house. Laid back atmosphere and friendly staff. Delicious vanilla latte!

lisa baker

Music, love this place!

Paula Downey

Nice atmosphere, pricey

Hawk Mangan

Great small coffee shop that has a lot more to offer than meets the eye, stop on and get your self some!

andrea schank

I really love this place. It is a bit pricey but it's very cozy and a nice meeting place to just relax and talk to friends. It's right downtown in frankfort so parking can be a bit of a challenge but totally worth it. Their menu is unique and their coffee is always fresh and hot.

Jake Blair

Stopped by one night for a few minutes while we waited for friends to get finished touring the Old Capitol right across the street. It was nice to see this small coffee shop open while many other businesses had closed long before we even got into downtown Frankfort. If coffee is not your thing, they also had cans of West 6th (a local Lexington brewery) IPA and Amber Ale available for those of legal drinking age.

Deanne Norton

Great coffee, great atmosphere!!

Brandon Ross

The food and coffee are really great. The black bean salsa wrap is one of Frankfort's best kept secrets. Environment is chill and inviting. Takes a while for food orders, but it's worth it.

Xahbo Jones

Nice quiet coffee and backed goods joint perfect stop of beginning of a busy day

Joey Phillips

I am pretty basic when it comes to my coffee but you don't come to a place like this for the coffee so much as the atmosphere, which it has a lot of. Open doors with the neighbors leads for a good environment. The view on the street is good as well. Don't get me wrong, the food and drinks are good but this is more of a community gathering hub as it is a business.

Audrey Bebensee

Fantastic service, food, atmosphere. I wish I lived closer so I could come every day! It is a very unique place- and come with time to kill so you can check out the local stores nearby.

Giovanna Macías Valdez

Nice place

Capital Living

LOVE this place! It's one of the locals favorite places to meet. They not only serve the usual coffee, but beer and wine as well. Open jam sessions and live music by local and regional artists often fill the air both inside and outside of this venue.

john chapman

Almost waited for 30 minutes at cracker barrel but decided to try this place instead. What a great place to eat and drink coffee and listen to live folk music. The bagel sandwich, chicken salad sandwich and cranberry muffin were excellent. You will not be disappointed!

MacGreagor Wright

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. But generally you do have to waita bit for your orders.

Amy Truesdale

Mom and I had a delightfully spicy shrimp pizza. Yum!

Christy Marlin

Nice place to drink coffee and read

Marco

Try the southwest salad, but in a wrap!! Delicious!

Mary Jackson

Excellent service! Best Chai Latte in town!!

Wes Brown

Good coffee and pastry and spot to spend a few minutes in the morning

Raye Scott

Great local place work delicious drinks and pastries! Nice atmosphere.

Katelin Adams

I stopped in to get a coffee on my way to an interview. The service was great and the coffee was the best I've had outside of Philadelphia (white mocha with almond milk). I enjoyed it so much I stopped for lunch on my way back to my car! Highly recommend

sounds like a personal problem

Great for hanging out with friends and there's a variety of food and drinks

Bailey Gathany

Such a lovely little place! The food was so much better than I expected from a casual little cafe! Definitely recommended.

Madison.Reagan

Ahh sooo good. Live music once a week.

JadaArt

I love the atmosphere and great coffee. This is always a stop for me when I'm in Frankfort!

Ken Dugas

Sit down, enjoy the coffee and food, talk to friends, make new ones and feel the peace.

honey

I go here often. The people are nice and the food&drink is amazing. 10/10!! :D

Eddy Cuisinier

Great place in downtown Frankfort on a street full a little businesses. Nice local coffee shop atmosphere. Tables and comfy chairs are available for seating. This coffee shop offers sandwiches, soups and beer and cocktails on top of the coffee products. Super friendly and helpful. No matter what you are looking for, you should not hesitate to check this place out.

Corey H

The coffee and pastries I had were really good, the staff was really friendly. It's a little small with limited seating. But it's still very cool and I would definitely go here again.

Melanie Spano

Fantastic dirty chai latte and certainly the best anywhere between Lexington, Louisville, or southern Indiana! Only gave it 4 stars because there was a terrible wait and surely the staff could've been a bit more friendly. I'll still go again and hopefully can change this to 5 stars.

Bridgett Hall

The atmosphere was just splendid!

Barbara Sherrod

Great building and atmosphere. Place very busy and maybe that’s the problem. Food counter, floor and even the tip jar filthy. Afternoon after noon meal sick from chicken salad. Makes me wonder about counties’ health dept. In Fayette County (Lexington) health rating would and must be posted and if conditions poor business cited with info printed in local newspaper.

Thomas Geophysicist

Nice place. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Sat outside and enjoyed the meal and setting. Food was well done.

Christy Parsley

The best hot chocolate is served here.

Zac Mullins

The picture is satire

Susan Bernstein

Great place with wonderful food and strong coffee just as we like it. We used it as a base during our visit to Frankfort. The staff was very kind and helpful with our twin 9 month olds. They even made me more salad dressing when they had run out of the soy ginger dressing. They could bottle it and sell it easily. So good and worth the wait. Obviously fresh ingredients and made on the premises. You have to try the Old Angry Liberal hot sauce. We bought a bottle to bring home and great with the bean and corn panini.

Andrew Radak

Greatest service I've seen in a while

Jamila Simpson

Thus place is 1st on my list and my kids list before McDonald's, Wendy's or any other fast food restuarant. My 3 year old crys for CoffeeTree

Marka Burns

Had a gender reveal party in their party room. Very friendly customer service and a great price for room rental! Lots of unique products in the store.

Melanie Fay

Quaint and friendly.

Eric Imbault

Cool space. Kentucky gift shop next door has some cool stuff.

Emilio Benavides

Not sure why this place has such good reviews. Ordered the iced chai latte dirty and it was pretty repulsive. For the first time in my life I threw a coffee shop drink away. Also ordered the egg babies and they were pretty awful. She nuked them and they had a terrible texture. Very disappointed because I am in Frankfort for work often and was hoping this would be my next go to. Atmosphere was cool so it gets one star for that. Visited 3/3/18

Sheila Anderson

Great drinks, food, service, and atmosphere!!!

Izzy Broomfield

My friend calls it the Meetingplace of Frankfort-- it's got a great & convenient location downtown, with a cozy environment and a sick menu. I haven't had a ton of their food, but I really like their fruit smoothies. Whether you're just picking something up or are looking to meet with someone, the Coffeetree is a great spot! I also believe they have a jam session one night a week and other live music? Not sure of the schedule since I only visit occasionally, but definitely more reason to scope it out yourself!

ClaytonCook12

Really love this place. They have really good hot chocolate. We usually come and get out a board game and have some coffee while we play. Great atmosphere. Have a bluegrass jams once a week for part of the year.

Nrad X

I would give this place 3 stars if it were a cafe based on the setting and the food. But when you have the word coffee in your name and your cappuccino tastes like coffee flavored milk you get one star. Quite possibly the nastiest cappuccino I have ever tasted. Absentee ownership at its finest.

Mark French

Good fresh coffee and breakfast food. Cozy environment with variety of seating options. Sofa, chairs, small bar area.

david whealdon

My personal hang out.

Racaan Mandeel

Coffee is GREAT! Service is very gentle and nice. It may take a minute to get your stuff and you can tell they are not Starbucks (where they are trained to sling coffee like it's nobodies business), but it feels like every cup is made gently and with love. Very cool place to come and enjoy a peaceful quiet evening.

Aude Scheibli

Great coffee, great place!

Jeffery Burgin

Bobbie was amazing. Give her a raise.

Adam Bland

This place is part of the identity of downtown Frankfort! The food is usually good and excellent coffees in the menu. Beer and wine are cheaper than other places and the cocktails usually have strong pours! But the great thing about this place is the atmosphere. Books, games, music ... it feels like you're in someone's living room. To be fair, my only criticism is with some of the employees. I hate to complain in general about them because most of them are absolutely wonderful but my wife and I have both noticed there are two people that always seem to be in a bad mood or observe less than sanitary practices. Learn to avoid those people like we do and you'll really love this place.

Corlia Logsdon - Business & Professional Mail

Honestly, I love the atmosphere here. Unfortunately, their chicken salad made me sick.

Maleena Carter

The atmosphere is always warm and cozy and the staff are some of the nicest and most patient people. They're not too pricey and the muffins, coffees, and tea are all very delicious.

Dean Sechrest

The Baristas, servers, bartenders are all so nice :-).

Sarah Smith

turns into a different place on friday nights. love it :) <3

Lois Powell

There is a nice variety of drinks, especially coffee, and food that is served there. The food has always been great and well as the service. The atmosphere is quiet, relaxing, and homey with a choice of table seating or grouped lounge chairs.

Jeff Thurston

Paper wrapper from cheese slices left inside my breakfast burrito. No thank you.

John Srtunk

Lovely little cafe with a wonderful group that plays live music Thursday nights. A great atmosphere to hang around and enjoy some coffee

James Ross

Great place to meet with friends. Great staff.

Lexandra Overby

Always nice and cozy. Good coffee and good atmosphere! Had a couple nasty teas ,but this is a staple place to relax with a friend.:)

Norbert L Jones Jr.

I was a regular. Upon moving the tip jar to get my rewards card I was falsely accused of steeling from from the jar. Very disappointed in the management. Should have checked footage on the security cam. BFORE MAKING ACCUSATIONS.

tessey taylor

Luv their coffee but I don't like the high prices on every drink and sweet dessert are way to high in prices. It's really for people with lots of money.

James Hart

Poetry reading was interesting but not my style. Of the 3 coffees we bought this evening, we disliked then all. One flavor was maple and spice coffee -- never again. It would have been better to pour over pancakes instead if drinking as coffee.

J Pear

Cozy coffee shop in downtown. Good drinks and snacks. Connects to stores on both sides so easy to browse on a cold or damp day.

fire in the rain peacock

Dogs welcome out front. A good IPA also.

ojosverde128

Nice small coffee shop with a comfortable atmosphere. Tons of books to choose from in bookshelves. Very friendly and helpful on helping us choose from variety of coffee flavors. Delicious cranberry muffins. Cute woman at counter.

K Mcclain

Great little coffee shop. Yummy drinks and food!

Herb Phillips

Coffee, books, fast free internet, occasional informal entertainment, and locally owned is a winning combination! My favorite local spot.

Scott Rollins

Excellent atmosphere. Quiet enough for solitude (usually) but also spaced for good conversations. Great wait staff helps this mood as well. Oh, and good food and great coffee!

Amey Jones

Very disappointing for a local coffee shop. They were out of many items, but still charged people for them and then told them afterwards. A simple appetizer and one coffee drink took 45 minutes to make, and even then they made it wrong and had to remake the coffee. Food was not good at all, coffee was ok once made correctly. Definitely would not return if we were to visit Frankfort again.

Daniel Rogers

Cozy and inviting environment. Love that it is adjoined with the book store and the Kentucky Crafts store on either side. Friendly staff, and good coffee. A local treasure.

Ashley Lynn

Great place to relax, have a drink and make new friends. I always leave with the feeling of content.

Josiah Gattle

Excellent mix of a bookstore and coffee shop. The atmosphere is perfect for conversation or enjoying a good read.

Cassie Burke

Awesome. Coffee Tree is in within walking Distance of the YMCA so I will sometimes go there before work and it's awesome.

Nick Schaer

One of my favorite places to hang out in Downtown Frankfort. Great coffee and great пива. Weather one one sitting out on the street with friend or huddled with a hot coffee and book, this is the place to be in Frankfort. Today I enjoyed great live music while I had a wonderful dinner and cold drink. Hats off.

Anne V.

Funky little place with a great looking menu. Barista did a fabulous job making sure I got the exact drink I wanted. Met someone there for a chat and never felt rushed.

Eric Essenburg

Very friendly staff and great coffee.

Christopher Kokoski, Writer

Perfect little coffee shop

Kim Morgan

Great food and atmosphere. The menu is great for lunch or light supper. Their coffee is excellent and the baked goods are so tasty and fresh.

Amber

Good local coffee shop. Prices are a little high for the sizes, but unfortunately with so many big companies the local businesses have to have a higher price. The staff have always been friendly when I have visited, and at the holidays you can get boozy hot cocoa or eggnog, and who doesn't love that! I recommend you check them out if in town. Chill with a cup of coffee and a book that you just bought from Poor Richard's Bookstore next door

Erin Crawford

Best coffee and coffeeshop in Frankfort

Claudia Castenir

The barista at the counter didn't drink coffee, and couldn't answer my questions. The decaf that was being served was made around noon, we were there around 4:00. The food case by the register was disgustingly dirty. The seating area looked quaint.

Tommy Bateman

Really cool place! We'll visit again next time we're in town.

Craig Barrett

Terrible place the sandwich That was serviced had the hardest bread reminded me more of a cracker not and type of bread I’ve ever had and the menu online is nowhere near what they have available an the blender was down so no frozen drinks. I ask for a water the man at the counter turned around and started filling the cup up with water that he was earlier doing dishes with... do not recommend for anyone...

Summer Bablitz

I love this place. The customer service is amazing and so is all of the yummy drinks.

Chris Ball

Coffee is average but the facility is dingy and really needs a thorough cleaning. Nicely connected to the adjacent book store.

Thomas Adams

Good atmosphere. Ok coffee. Good beer

Jonathan Keeler

They totally go above and beyond. Tonight, as example. The establishment, and all the people involved... just simply marvelous!

Cary Sddth

Great place for small meetings and to gather and socialize. Popular gathering place for Frankfort residents. Cozy and inviting.

M. R.

Lovely place. Very cozy just like the bookstore next door.

Scar

I travel the country trying local coffee shops. This is easily one of my favorites. Whenever I'm in town I always make sure I stop by. The coffee is absolutely delicious

Rick Brock

Comfortable, laid back shop, great coffee & artifacts in the attached local shops.

Sam Fraley

Had a lovely time great food great service

Michael Embry

I always receive friendly service at the Coffeetree. The coffee is reasonably priced and the food is fresh and tasty, whether breakfast pastries, sandwiches or other items from a wide variety of offerings on the menu.

Dennis Horn

Nice place with decent food and coffee. Service can be odd at times, but they rebound. Not too hipsterish, and I like traveling between Poor Richards and Completely Kentucky.

Gene Kiser

Great coffee. Helpful staff. Great place to sip coffee and view surroundings.

Laura Ray

I love this place. I have favorite bookstores, but this one is my favorite, favorite bookstore. I like browsing through the attic, where the old books are, in order to find some gems. I like that there are new books downstairs, so I can have the both of book worlds. Poor Richard’s is connected to Kentucky Coffeetree Cafe by the inside so it is fun going back and forth through this magical door. At the café I love their chocolate mousse. It is small, but it has all the chocolate bang for the buck. I am going to make sure and call ahead of time to make sure I have one when I get there the next time. Books and chocolate, how could you go wrong?

Madison

Great service and awesome prices. Love their bottomless coffee option and the alcohol prices aren't bad either! Very laid back, love sitting outside with views of the trees and downtown. I never feel rushed either. Food options are much better than standard coffeeshop fare.

Blaine Hearl

Seth makes the BEST coffee EVER. Hands down. BH<3JB

Matthew Fister

Great coffee. A variety of seating with plenty of room. And right next to a bookstore!

Shannon Brown

This is a cool shop in downtown Frankfort.... Buy a book next door and loose yourself.

Maureen Carroll

Loved this little place for coffee and breakfast. Great atmosphere, cozy with books, soft furniture, and a tiki bar! Really need to go back for cocktails and live music!

Linda Rowan

Pretty disappointing. Either they were short staffed, had inexperienced employees, or this is par for the course for them. It was slow going and the employees seemed disorganized. The place was dark and dank and there were itty bitty flying insects. In addition to coffee we ordered an egglet (not sure of the actual name but it was like a mini quiche). Mini is a bit of an understatement, it was really small. The coffee did little more than to suffice my need for coffee.

Justin Geiger

Always a friendly and fun atmosphere. Excellent selection of coffees and food. Bourbon Egg Nog is really good. The live music is always good. Lots of books to read if you want and a selection of stringed instruments on the wall if your so inclined to play one. WiFi can be spotty but it's still decent 90% of the time.

Denise Lewis

Food was disappointing and the coffee the girl fixed was really sad!

Mohammed atiyani

Good

M Reaves

Love this place. Eclectic and fun. Light fare, tasty pastries, and great coffee. We stop here each time we come to Frankfort from "back east". Great service and fun music too.

Kadie Clayton

Great coffee and staff the best.

Darrell Smith

Great atmosphere, specialty coffees you're sure to like. Enjoy sidewalk cafe style seating.

Steve Hackett

Good food and service, very nice atmosphere.

Paula Murphy

Lovely place for a warm calming 'Frankfort Fog' drink, spicey bowl of bean soup and comforting (chocolate bomb!) dessert on this cold Autumn afternoon. Seeing friends & neighbors, musical instruments being picked up and played, kids, computers and a chatty knitting circle all made the Kentucky Coffee Tree a welcoming toasty treat today!

Liz Boulie

Cute little coffee shop. Good selection/variety of food and drinks.

Danny Kear

Great coffee shop: friendly service and cozy decor

Tammy Sullivan

Always enjoy visiting here. They have great food and drinks. A favorite stop when In town.

Boomer Moomer

Best around. Have not found a better espresso. Starschmucks is horrid anyway, but Coffeetree is amazing. Employees are top notch. Never had an order wrong. Their mocha is superior. I've also asked for special requests, like sprinkle of cocoa powder in bottom of espresso during very busy times, and after I'd ordered and paid. Was not a problem. Excellent sandwiches and desserts are insanely nummy.

John Richey

Good decor, good atmosphere,. GOOD food,. GOOD people

Christina Benson

Casual seating, relaxed atmosphere. Helpful staff. Great tasty healthful food; assortment of drinks (coffees, teas, mixes). Chess/checkers, books, musical variety. Evening hours. Friendly staff.

Adrian Clark

Great place to hang out and have a bite to eat. Great coffee and atmosphere
