Adorable place to get some ice cream and sweets or some coffee and cookies! Absolutely love the ice cream here. The Salted Carmel ice cream is one of my favorites

Place is ok but the bathroom is filthy. So gross that I probably won’t return. Clean that bathroom up!

I have been going here for ice cream for years and was always enjoyable. My how things change… My first visit this year and the place was dirty, Ice cream all over the floor, soft serve machine broken. I ordered a hot fudge brownie sundae and what I received was a stale hard brownie with average at best ice cream with store bought whip cream in a weak styrofoam Walmart bowl, and a plastic spoon that could not even handle getting trough the ice cream much less the cold hard stale brownie.
This place need a complete makeover

Incredibly cute little sweet shop in downtown Frankfort! There’s all sorts of scoop ice cream flavors, cookies, and other stuff your dentist would be mad at you for indulging in, but the real star is the homemade popcorn.
It’s about as delicious as Garrett’s only about half the price and they do a delicious chocolate dipped caramel flavor that the Chicago chain doesn’t. It may not have the fancy packaging or the iconic name, but Kernel Sweet Tooth is totally an awesome way to satisfy that sugar craving.

Stopped in for a quick cone last night as we were visiting downtown Frankfurt to see the car show. I didn’t note the ice cream brand that they serve, but Kernal’s has a wide variety of flavors.
Service was quick and helpful. I asked to sample two different flavors and was asked if I’d like to try others. Ended up getting a coconut/​fudge combo in a waffle cone that was pretty tasty. My son had a Superman/​chocolate combo that he scarfed with ease.
Ice cream prices are a tad high comparably. You can also get your candy, popcorn or caffeine fix in here. Seating is limited to two small tables, but there’s plenty of room in the elongated hallway in the attached building (along with bathrooms and drinking fountains).
Cheers.

Old school ice cream shop. It was clean, our sundaes were tasty and big, staff was helpful and courteous even with a bit of an after dinner rush. Not slick and new like the Froyo shops popping up everywhere but it has a nice down home treat-​spot appeal. Glad it’s local. :) Only complaint was the seating could have been more comfortable (I loathe rod iron).

Maybe my standards are low in Frankfort, but I love this place. And I am only rating the ice cream, bc it’s all I ever get, but they do have lots of other stuff. Mostly scoop style ice cream, but YUMMY. Chocomania and cotton candy are to die for!
They lose a star bc they hire lazy teenagers who will occasionally just close early and sit in their til the real closing time instead of actually serving customers willing to pay.

This place has a cute old-​fashioned look to it, and I thought it would be a nice place to go after a day in the park with my daughter. What a disappointment! Behind the counter a very disinterested teenager did nothing although every table in the place was filthy. And I mean filthy! Straw wrappers, crumbs, and dried ice cream on every table. I should have left when I had my chance. Instead I ordered a scoop for me and my daughter. We were given the cheapest of plastic spoons to work through low quality ice cream that the consistency of gum. The whole time the spoons are bending and barely getting through. For as much as they charge, you would think they’d give you a real spoon. Anyway, down the road on Nebraska and Rt. 45 is the Creamery a much better place!

I go here regularly with my sister. It’s kind of a summer tradition for us. She gets the same flavor every time and I try about 4 or 5 and then make my selection. I do think it’s a little overpriced, but we really like this place. The location is right near Old Plank Trail and we usually go sit and enjoy our ice cream along the path.

I took my son here for ice cream. We stood there for 3 minutes while the lady chit chatted with another women about something. He got 2 scoops of chocolate in a cup for 3.71. A total rip off. His ice cream was rock hard and had bits of ice in it. The place seemed dirty to me. I would love to give it a higher rating because we spend so much time in this area but I cant.

I am sad to not give this place more stars. When it was Treat Street, it was a five star place. Now, although the space is the same, the store is quite different.
Stock is low, clerks somewhat disinterested and the ice cream has had huge chunks of ice in it the past two times I have gone here.
I would still go if attending the Sunday concerts on the Briedert Green but otherwise I would not bother and it is walking distance from my home.
Kernel, you can do better!

I have been here several times and it seems as though the service is severely lacking. The last time I was here I had the little one with. When we walked in the empty store, the owner was on the phone. We waited for her to be finished with the personal call and then she approched us. We ordered and then a man came in. As we were eating the lady got back on the phone and the guy just looked at us? She took care of him after the call and I got up to get a cup. The look she gave me was priceless! Your job is to service the public when you are not on the phone and you act like a Jackass when you have to work. Now I know why so many businesses fail!
