Freelancers Cafe

It was an evening that we didn’t know what we wanted to eat so we found this little place to hang out until we figured it out. While we were there we had to give the barista bot a try! We ordered a coffee, an espresso, a tea and a hot chocolate. Of all the drinks, the hot chocolate was the best tasting. The other drinks were ok but nothing spectacular. It’s a robot following a recipe. Lol The atmosphere itself was fun, the kids played a couple games while we chatted about dinner plans and then we ordered some wings to hold down the hangry peeps. The wings were very good! The staff was young but polite and friendly.

Sign outside reads deli but I was suprised to find what was inside. As soon as we walk in a gentlemen tells us "we close in one hour for a private event", given it's 1.5 hours left until event begins. I reply "I am just going to order a sandwich, we will be out of here before that." We go order our sandwich at the deli. No one to be found on how the gaming works. So we walked around spotted the same guy he's busy watching gaming going on. I ask " can you walk us through how we rent this to play a game while we wait on our sandwich?" He said " it's $5 for an hour and turns around ." Sandwich is really good , place is really nice , robo coffee is cool and awesome to watch and surprisingly really good.

Pizza and wings are actually very good. Beer could be a little colder, and koozies would be a nice add. You can't open/start a bar tab, which is a small hang-up. Huge TV is a plus. Well done remodle of a very old building, with plenty of seating, and the open patio is also a nice feature.

My new place to hangout. The pizzas are delicious and coffees too. They have a bar and sports tv. Desserts are good too. I’m happy we have this place here in Athens. Staffs are friendly and helpful. 👍

It’s a “WFH” space on steroids with a robot that makes coffee and a new deli style sand which place going in their kitchen. We stopped by on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and they were closed, but we spoke to the owner who is in tech, from Cali. I guess they are primarily open during the week to work there. Lots of large screens, large office like chairs, booths with screens, etc Huge space, unsure about the coffee or food, but the coffee selling point is consistency because a robot makes it the same very time, unlike a barista. Curious who will be coming here in Athens, TX and how long this place lasts, but it appears cool.
