Employees routinely wear super thin shorts with thongs. When they bend over to scoop the icecream a whole lot of butt cheeks hangs out the back. So, if you don't mind your husband and kids getting an eyefull of ass while you get icecream, then this is the place for you! read more

A nice spot in downtown Frankfort. A nice mixture of old timey feel and modern. I came in planning on only getting one scoop. However I couldn't decide so I got one scoop of Apple Crisp and one of Cow Tipping! Apple Crisp is obviously an apple taste with a cinnamon in the mix. It works in ice cream form, it was delicious. The Cow Tipping is vanilla with chocolate chunks and swirls of carmel. This was very good too, though I preferred the Apple Crisp. The service was very good and moved at a good pace. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Yes I would. I went back and was going to get a scoop of Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. However they were out, so I got a chocolate shake instead. It was excellent, ended up a good choice! read more

I can't imagine anything that I could say that has not already been said. All the positive reviews written by others mirrors our experiences. Love the choice of flavors as well as the choices of preparations (cones, sundaes, milkshakes, malts, etc.). We rode our bikes here from Beulah on the Betsie Valley Trail. We refreshed ourselves with milkshakes before heading back. Great tree outside the shop to sit under (on the curb) while enjoying the street scene (they blocked off the street for the weekend). Go check it out! read more

Really yummy and variety of options! You can tell this is premium ice cream with a wide array of. Super friendly workers! BUT, it is rather expensive compared to other local ice cream spots. However, that can be a bonus, as the line is often far shorter. read more

The ice cream is good. Staff is usually dissatisfied with you walking in the door. The person who made my food let out a large sigh when we walked in. They attempt to do açaí bowls, but you get half a cup of the most bland pre-packed açaí mixture and the toppings are poured over rather than placed side by side. read more

The Cool Spot - Their version of an açaí bowl - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Frankfort, Michigan

After 25 years living in Frankfort, The Cool Spot is, by far, my favorite!! My favorites include the parfait made with three different fruits or a scoop of unicorn star ice cream - rainbow ice cream with white chocolate stars!! The staff is very friendly and I love the ambience of their store. I highly recommend The Cool Spot as a top destination stop when you visit Frankfort Mi. read more

I went to the cool spot yesterday. I saw that they had açaí bowls and was very excited to try one. I ordered one and waited 20 minutes for it. Once my other family members got theirs it did not look appetizing at all. I tried it and it was gross. Don't get the açaí bowls. The açaí tasted like it was frozen and the fruit was frozen. We asked for a refund and they did refund us. If you want ice cream it is probably good but don't get the açaí. read more

This place is awesome. Love the colorful interior, so fun, the people who work there appear to love what they do, they make great milkshakes (they actually use a blender unlike the place down the street that basically gives you a cup of ice cream and calls it a shake) - AND, best of all, they have ice cream sodas - the old fashioned kind - on the menu and know how to make 'em. SO unusual for an ice cream place to have these on the menu. Delish!! I wish this place were in my town (I was in Frankfort on vacay), I'd go every day!! read more

Came here for ice cream yesterday. Maybe should have went with the soft serve and not the hard ice cream. I got cookie dough and the cookie dough pieces were as hard as a rock. My son did like his soft serve better. I just was hoping for a better ice cream. read more

A great local owned and operated treat store with ice cream, fudge, drinks and free WIFI. I went to Michigan on vacation and realized there are few options for Internet but this place had free WIFI so we stopped by and tried some of the ice cream and fudge. We sat and checked email, enjoyed the food and spoke with the owners who are teachers that do this in the Summer months. It is a great place with great treats and great people - check it out! read more

I really do love this place. It's a good ice cream place, and the food and service is always great. My only gripe throughout the years has been that I wish that they would take credit cards. Each summer I come back and walk in, and have to walk right back out because I rarely carry cash anymore. Even a simple Square register? iPhone app? It's a shame, I don't go there nearly as much as I'd like, simply because of the cash only situation. read more

Staff is friendly, menu diverse and shop has a great atmosphere. A great place to cool off and have a friendly conversation with locals or those visiting the area. Outside area is great when its nice weather. Lots of options to choose from made this the best spot for my kids and me. read more

We had gotten pastries and coffee from the bakery a few doors down and sat at a table outside this establishment to eat. 10:30 in the morning, completely empty. An unfriendly, sour faced employee came out and told us it was private property and we couldn't sit there. No apologizes just an unfriendly, unkind miserable person. This is a tourist town that is supposed to be welcoming. We were floored someone would kick us out. Plus we had gotten ice cream the previous evening from here. This is not the Cool Spot. Rather the UNCOOL spot. There are 2 other ice cream spots across the street. Go there and not here. Bad karma. read more

GO HERE. Order the Lemon Cheesecake ice cream in a waffle cone. Thank me later. I've ordered a LOT of ice cream in my day, and this is - by far - the best ice cream flavor i've ever had. Ever. read more

The old lady working was very RUDE to me. The shop was not as nice as Kilwins' down the road ...GO THERE!!!! Loved the coconut and cherry best ice cream I have almost ever had!!! KILWINS ICE CREAM IS BETTER GO A FEW BLOCKS ITS WORTH IT TRUST ME!!! read more

This was an adorable little family-run ice cream shop in town! Each flavor was an authentic, unique blend and I particularly LOVED the Lemon Cheesecake Bar- one of the best ice cream flavors I have ever had. The staff was extremely friendly, and the interior was beautiful! I look forward to revisiting next summer! read more

I stopped in on a whim for a chocolate shake....was awesome. Huge selection of different things to get. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

Love, love, love the Cool Spot! Its our 'go to' place for ice cream in Frankfort. And its become a family tradition.

Great spot to grab a fun desert with options for those with gluten and dairy allergies. Plenty of flavors to chose from and very friendly and helpful staff. read more

The Cool Spot was one of our high notes in our trip to Frankfort. The shop is absolutely adorable, the young ladies working there were nothing short of fantastic and the ice cream was terrific!!! The Cool Spot will be one of my first stops on my next trip to Frankfort!!! read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!! WISH I COULD GET MY MONEY BACK!! While vacationing in Frankfort last year we stumbled upon this shop. This year we decided to go back and my family and I were immediately met with xenophobic comments by the workers along with dirty looks. The ice cream was extremely mediocre and we found lint and paper towel in it. The worker, Peggy, was extremely rude when we asked for napkins and spoke the word "bitch" under her breathe to the short brunette worker. They knew as soon as they saw a muslim family that they were going to treat us with no respect and it carried on for the whole experience. Would definitely never go back!! read more

This place is amazing! I have been coming to Frankfort for over 5 years now, and it beats out everything else.

This is our favorite ice cream place in Frankfort. We come here every night during our yearly summer vacations. Moose tracks flavor is a family favorite. read more

A longstanding business in Frankfort, of all of the ice cream places in town The Cool Spot will always be my favorite. They have both ice cream and soft serve which is nice for those of us who aren't so fond of really heavy ice cream. There aren't a huge variety of flavors offered, but they make up for it with toppings, serving size, and custom-ability. If you ask, they'll pretty much put anything on that you want. Staff are pleasant, patient, and fun to talk with. You can't really get any more bang for your buck than at the cool spot - added bonus, they sell fudge and salt water taffy. Note: They don't take credit cards. Please be aware. read more

cute place. good fudge and ice cream. the chocolate dipped waffle cone was a bit thick for my taste

been coming here as long as I can remember. great flavors all around. I still can't resist the kid-favorite superman though.

Very generous portions of yummy ice cream. Lots of unique flavors. Cash only though and a tad pricey.

The cool spot is one of the original ice cream shops (and fudge) in Frankfort. Its amazing and they have these cool spot coolers which are diet 7-up soft serve and I always have them add raspberries, but you can change it to make it what ever you want. The ice cream ladies are nice and will pretty much fix you whatever you ask for. This is one of a kind people, you cant get the Cool Spot anywhere else. read more

If I could give this ice cream shop 10 stars I would give it 10. The staff and owner are extremely friendly. They have the best flavors in town also fresh made fudge and shakes. The new decor reminds me of old fashioned stores. They often have lines out the door but seem to serve everyone with a smile. Keep up the good work! read more

Just WOW. Not only is it the cutest ice cream shop you'll ever step into, but Christie and Emily will have you swooning over all the amazing flavors that "The Cool Spot" has to offer. Huge shout out and a BIG THANK YOU to the staff for your great energy and hard work :) read more

Friendly place. Great place to stop after a long day of hiking.... ice cream very tasty.

The Cool Spot is my family's favorite place to get a treat. The service is good, and the employees are experienced. Not to mention the delicious taste of their ice cream. The menu is unique with different flavors. The Cool Spot will always be my all time favorite! read more
