I absolutely love it here. It's quaint, quiet, and a great place to catch up on work or chat with a friend. Everything is made right there in front of you and they cater to how you want things. I wanted an extra sweet extra HOT hot chocolate with heavy cream and they didn't blink an eye.

I rated it 5/5 because 10/5 wasn't an option. I love this place. I'm there every single day. I've been a regular since I moved to Frankfort because it was a Pokemon GO hotspot and now I've made it my office for work and school. I always meet great people there, too. The atmosphere is conducive to good vibes with other people. Great place to be introverted or extroverted. You wouldn't take my review seriously if it was all good news, so a criticism is that it needs more outlets. All they need is a few power strips but not every table has access. I've NEVER had a problem finding an outlet myself because I've been lucky. If you ask, people may let you sit nearby and charge. Just needed one complaint for authenticity. This is my favorite place and Katie is so sweet to all the customers. Food and coffee is literally amazing, too.

Staff was very friendly! Food was yummy! Drink was yummy! The flavor of the espresso is more on the sour side, which I prefer bitter, however, they were made correctly and well! We had a very large order with 3 kids and 4 adults!! The staff was 2 people and they were great. Happy the whole time and worked hard to get it all out to us! We had soup, sandwiches and many drinks! Atmosphere was darker than I'd like honestly. And that was the general agreement from the other adults. But it was an enjoyable experience for an out of state patron and we do recommend! Thanks guys!!

The Kentucky Coffeetree is one of Frankfort’s hidden gems. The locals love it for a reason— impeccable service, quality drinks food, soft lighting, books, and board games; this is truly a remarkable coffee shop and our town is blessed to have it. I highly recommend the dirty chai tea latte to drink and the hummus wrap is my favorite meal here!

Cute coffee shop in the heart of downtown. Good food and great coffee! Visited twice during our three day stay in Frankfurt.

Oh man, this place pretty cute, tiny little place but the food and drinks were amazing. Customer service was pretty good but I think they could have a better system to streamline the food and drinks out to the customers. Other than it was really good, if you want to play a board game, go right ahead, you might not find the pieces to some of them but you could also bring your own. The book store was right next door and there was a door on the inside of the coffee shop that led you right into the bookstore.

Started the morning off right with an iced coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese burrito - make sure to get some hit sauce on the side it was delicious!
