FreeHand Coffee

Freehand Coffee Shop is an absolute gem in Pendleton! This coffee shop is everything you want in a local spot — super cute, beautifully decorated, and instantly cozy. The warm, dark tones mixed with pops of light and fresh plants make the whole space feel inviting and peaceful. The coffee was fantastic with tons of options, and their pastry selection is the perfect bonus. I also loved that they offer a drive-through, making it so easy to swing by on busy days. If you’re in the Pendleton/Anderson area, do yourself a favor and check out this incredible local coffee shop — you’ll fall in love just like I did! 🤎☕️ Follow me on Instagram for more great reviews @holycityfitblonde

Check out their “shop favorites”, innovative and creative concoctions that are a great way to break out of what you normally would order. I have had a couple different drinks here and I’m impressed by their sugar free syrup choices. Would love them to add some gluten free choices for muffins/scones. We usually have a group of 5-6 so a bit limited on seating choices but I understand why they arrange for mostly smaller groups. They do have seating outside in nicer weather. Staff is friendly!

The atmosphere, food, and staff are great. The muffins and cheddar bacon biscuits specifically are good. In my opinion, the lattes and other drinks (thai tea and hot chocolate) are not very good (my experience is they are watery), which is why I typically just order food when I go there.

This coffee shop has to be the best in Pendleton because the staff was very nice and quick despite being only one person there I got the lavender mocha and the west coast and the mocha was one of the best mochas I’ve ever had and the west coast was a nice balance of earthy-ness and sweetness we also got a drip coffee and a dirty chai and they were both amazing! The music was wonderful as well. I definitely recommend.

Overall it’s a nice coffee shop. I will say it’s a bit more expensive than I’d like, but when it’s the only one open, what choice do you have! The staff was quite, but friendly. The store is very well kept. It seems to pull more of the college crowd into it, mostly packed during the day with the students. My biggest complaint here is the cost.
