FreeHand Coffee 220 East Main Street, Pendleton, SC 29670

"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."

"Environment and music was really chill and casual. The coffee was really good! A little on the sweet side but overall good flavor :) The barista was amazing and made my drink pretty quickly. Also I was there early afternoon and there were not many costumers- so good study/work environment :) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!"

"Favorite coffee shop in the area! It's so hard to find cute, inviting places like this in SC. I feel like a lot of places in the area cater to the older demographic and their views, but FreeHand has an atmosphere that has made me feel welcome every time I've come in. The coffee is delicious, with MANY flavor options. They also occasionally create fun drink themes such as Taylor Swift and National Parks! However, for those who are used to Starbucks/fast food style speed, you should be prepared to wait a few minutes for your beverage; this is a small coffee shop that is providing a calm, cafe-style experience. In addition, there is usually more customers than baristas, so be patient and compassionate!"

"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."

"Besides not knowing (or caring) what coffee was being served that day, the server wasn't too interested in touching on anything coffee related (I tried to find out what roasts were available that day - hoping maybe I could score a decent dark blend, but was only met by a blank stare). Then my coffee was served in a tea glass...and even shared nearly the same opacity as a cup of tea... The coffee was pretty much on the level of flavored hot water. Bottom line: nice location, decent ambience - but don't let the name fool you."
