Andy's Artisan Bread

Andy's is partOf what makes South Frankfort/ Downtown so great. The business is a story about how they enjoyed making pastries and decided to explore a business for part of the week. They have a passion for making pastries and have added to the menu. It is one of the best croissant in Kentucky, they flaky, buttery, little crunch on outside and soft inside. Everything else is just same dough and different ingredients for different taste. They also make coffee and tea, their Chai is spicy for those that want more flavor. Staff is very friendly, the shop is cute and has other items for sale.

For someone not already familiar with the area, it is important to understand that this place is a block away from the capitol of Kentucky, but it is the only business around. Frankfort is one of the more obscure state capitals, and immediately outside the state house grounds it becomes a residential neighborhood. Apparently at least some of the people who work at this bakery live across the street in this quiet neighborhood.Having said that, even if you walked outside the nation's capitol building in DC, you'd struggle to find anything this good nearby. And I would know.Upon entering, I was captivated by an extensive drink menu. They had a special Kashmiri chai on, and the cardamom infused flavor delivered a long-lasting experience. The spread of baked goods was extensive with both sweet and savory items. Not needing a full loaf of bread, I selected an assortment of pastries to be shared. They had fantastic flavors ranging from the conventional (vanilla custard with chocolate chips) to the unusual (a rye brownie). All of them were mouthwatering, though quite flaky and they did make a bit of a mess. A few other niche pantry items were on sale as well.Sometimes I feel very sad for people with genuine gluten allergies or intolerances. This was one of those times. Any visitors to the governmental institutions of Kentucky would be well advised to check this place out.

A small little bakery with big flavor, big friendly smiles and a big wow. We loved our breakfast at Andy's from scones to chocolate croissants to wonderful seasonal breakfast beverages. There was a wait but they moved the line along and everyone was friendly. Great morning stop. $$

OMG I'm in love with this little bakery!I finally made my way there after reading about it for months... and it soooo didn't disappoint. From the delicious aromas wafting out the door as soon as I opened it, to the sweetest staff possible.. this is the bakery to visit. In all honesty, their drinks are much better priced than other fare, but the prices are justified when it comes to taste. I tried: Chai Latte, Iced with brown sugar: 4/5 Peaches n Cream Danish: 3.5/5... the pastry was flaky n right, the peaches in their glaze looked great but the cream/cream cheese/custard left a lot to be desired. It didn't taste like any of the 3 and wasn't even sweet... or sweet enough. Feta cheese and za'atar croissant: 5/5Chocolate croissant: 4/5 Almond joy croissant: 3/5 .. I'd have preferred a pure almond croissant instead. Sour dough bread round : 4/5... it was a bit on the smaller side especially when compared to the Mennonite's bakery in Manchester who have the BEST sour dough bread in Kentucky!

My mom and I were lucky enough to catch Andy's at the Farmers Market, and had it not been too late in the day- we would have gone back for more.The morning bun was phenomenal and authentic. We agree that is the best $4 we have ever spent. There was simply no time for pictures, we got straight to it, but it was beautiful! We can't wait to go back and try more!

A former corner grocery has morphed into a fantastic neighborhood bakery! Andy's is amazing and its apparently no secret because there were tons of people there anxiously awaiting pastries on Saturday morning. Andy arrives at 2:30AM to bake fresh pastries everyday. I love savory treats in the morning & they separate the sweet from savory in the cases so its easy to distinguish. My fave was the spinach and runner up was their best selling cinnamon roll. Their coffee is great too! This place is small & there is no dine in, but grab an assorted box full & you won't be sorry!

Simply Scrumptious! Delicious fresh pastries and exceptionally friendly service!We LOVE our hometown bakery and always like to check out local spots when we travel to compare! So Andy's Artisan Bakery was a natural stop while we were in Frankfurt visiting distilleries. Excellent chocolate crossaint and cheese Danish. Rich fresh coffee and decadent white hot chocolate made a perfect start to our day. Inside the bakery is sparkly clean and the staff is amazing.

Absolutely wonderful baked goods. This is not the normal overly sweet fried dough you find in most of Kentucky. This is the perfectly laminated puff pastry found on the side streets of Paris. We had the morning roll, a breakfast sandwich, the everything croissant, pain au chocolat and sourdough bread. Every bite was spectacular. Very friendly staff, quick service and a lovely little sitting area beside the cafe. Definitely a spot we will come back to.

This bakery was outstandingly delicious!!! The croissants had a nice crunch to the outside leading you to a soft buttery flakey interior. Mmmm!!! The cherry croissant danish had a perfect amount of cherries every bite was as good as the next. I couldn't stop there so I ran back in for a morning bun and thank goodness I did, it was the best morning bun I've had, the touch of orange zest was put it over the top.Now I need to get back on the bike and burn off some calories.

Great Spot For Coffee And PastrysCinnamon Roll Review 6.5 out of 10 -No Icing -Served warm -Dough not traditional,very flakey but good taste -Needs More Cinnamon Flavor
