Kentucky Coffeetree Cafe - Frankfort

I stopped by this quaint downtown cafe for a quick coffee and bagel before a Civil War tour. It's conveniently located across from the old capitol building. The service is always friendly and the coffee is tasty. However, I found the bagels to be a bit lacking in cream cheese. It was served in a small plastic container on the side, making it difficult to spread with the provided plastic knife. Clearly, they are not familiar with the concept of a "schmear" like they do in New York.

The cashier appeared to be angry, and the main issue was that the restaurant was very dirty. There were crumbs on the table, trash all over the floor, and the bathrooms were described as disgusting. Additionally, there were flies on the food in the display case. Despite wanting to give three stars initially, the reviewer lowered their rating to two stars after hearing about the poor condition of the bathrooms. They further reduced the rating to one star after receiving a dismissive response from the barista when thanking them on the way out. Even though the reviewer believes the restaurant may be nice once cleaned up and with better staff attitudes, they suggest that those in the service industry should consider a different career if dealing with people is too difficult. Furthermore, the iced mochas had very little coffee and were mostly ice, leaving the reviewer feeling unsatisfied with their order.

This is a wonderful spot to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and a tasty breakfast sandwich! Treat yourself and take a seat outside to take in the charming views of historic downtown Frankfort.

Good coffee in a unique downtown location with lots of character.

Great sandwiches! I also got a cinnamon roll, it wasn’t anything special but not bad.
