Wonderful atmosphere and customer service! Really loved my drinks. All of their syrups are made in house, which is super rare and something I really love. The lady at the cash register was super friendly and helpful. I am a barista though and I have a few thoughts/suggestions: first off I did notice that they do not have cold foam lids, which are very helpful to get the full flavor profile of the drink. The second thing is, I could tell that they do not mix their flavors in a pitcher. I have always been taught to put my flavors into a metal cup or pitcher then pour the espresso over the flavor, then stir the flavor into the espresso and cool down the shot with milk for an iced drink. I have noticed that makes the best coffee and really brings out a great balance between espresso and flavor. They definitely put the flavors in the bottom of the cup and tried to mix it in, but that never works. However, the drink itself was really great! I got a white Christmas, which is a white chocolate peppermint, cold brew with cold foam and I'm definitely savoring it! I rarely give good reviews for coffee shops, but I wouldn't mind going back to this one.

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.
Vegetarian options: I saw almost no meat
Dietary restrictions: Lots of different milk options:)!

THIS is one of the businesses that make Pendleton special. The friendliness of the staff, the WONDERFUL coffee and the hometown atmosphere. A great place to enjoy a coffe or tea and a muffin!

I was super excited to try Freehand Coffee because Pendleton is already so cute, I was excited to find a locally owned coffee shop there too. I did order an iced latte and got a hot one, but it was still good. Almost all the seats were taken and they were pretty busy so I was lucky to get a chair to do a bit of work, but I’d like to come back and give it another try sometime. I think there is potential!

Best Latte on town

Best caramel macchiato I've had. The lady who was playing Taylor Swift was awesome as well ?
The staff are very nice and helpful. The atmosphere inside is very pleasant and makes for a great place to study, do work, or hang out with friends. The drive thru is also a big plus for quick stops when going inside isn't an option. Awesome coffee shop all the way around and my new go to! I can't recommend it enough.

Extremely rude for no reason. The pass off Fresh Market baked goods as their own. The scone was good, but I could go to Fresh Market for that. The coffee on the other hand wasn't good at all.

I stumbled across this coffee shop near my job. Honestly, I am taking time out of my work day to acknowledge such an incredible coffee shop. I ordered their matcha and it is sooooo so good. Starbucks could NEVER. Quality coffee shop! Very impressed and will definitely be back during my lunch hours!

Great little local coffee shop in Pendleton with delicious custom coffees and friendly staff

Great coffee, most importantly. Drip coffee and pour over both have a full and clear flavor profile. Service is great and it's a good atmosphere for getting some work done. It's my go-to in this area.
