I love this place, by far my favorite coffee shop in Austin! Their iced Cortado with miso caramel is my absolute favorite drink. You can taste the freshness of the beans and the homemade syrup is incredible. The people are also so kind and just a great atmosphere overall.

If you want a coffee experience that frees your spirit, free wheelin is the place to go. The baristas are always very friendly, great at making coffee, and living up to Austin's happy reputation. Kat and Maritza were very friendly, and recommended a perfect drink for this beautiful fall morning.

This is an Airstream coffeeshop located in East Austin with signature lattes and a seasonal menu. All flavors are made in house and they use locally roasted coffee. I appreciated how much the flavors shine through in the lattes and they are not too sweet. I tried some seasonal items too like the strawberry matcha latte and pistachio affogato. Their summer menu will be available until beginning of September, then keep an eye out for some fun items coming for fall. It's clear how passionate they are while creating their menu. Talk with the owner and the crew and you’ll sense genuine passion and pride in their craft. Other perks- kolaches baked fresh daily, milk alternatives available, free parking lot, patio seating. Super pet friendly too!

My favorite coffee bar in Austin! And if you knew how many coffee bars I've tried, you'd be even more impressed. First, the coffee just plain tastes better. I get it, people are different and their tastes are different, but I still believe most people would find this coffee truly superior. Second, the specialty coffee drinks are creative and delicious. Sure, they can do you a regular cappuccino, a latte, or a cortado, and it'll be awesome. But try, for example, their miso caramel latte! I'm addicted. Third, the staff is super nice. They're always warm and friendly. Sometimes they work a little hard at it -- "And how's YOUR day going?" -- but better too welcoming than not welcoming enough. They have tons of options, including a 16 oz. size, every kind of milk (including 2%, oat, and almond), etc. etc. Prices are standard. Kolaches are available, though I haven't tried them. Could anything about Freewheelin' be improved? Yes, it could be closer to my house. Otherwise, no. Try it, you'll like it!

amazing amazing coffee!! I really appreciate that they make all their syrups in house. The miso caramel is legit — a deep, complex, toasty flavor (reminds me of tiger sugar). I found the seasonal mango cold brew to be a little too sweet (I’d get the foam over plain black cold brew next time), but that foam is incredible! Lovely mango flavor, light and airy for a refreshing drink. Loved the touch of toasted coconut on top too:))

So good! I got the burnt honey shaken iced espresso with oat milk 🤤. My husband ate the jalapeño sausage and cheddar kolache before I could snap a pic.. so he obviously liked it!

Seriously great coffee. Got a simple latte to judge the espresso, and it was excellent,smooth and flavorful, like a good medium roast. Friendly, fast service and the prices are very reasonable. The kolaches looked amazing too, trying those next time. Highly recommend.

This place has amazing espresso! It’s strong but smooth, the best kind. We stayed in Austin for a month and everyday we went to Freewheelin’. The staff is incredible and so friendly—they made my day each morning. Highly recommend to everyone

The coffee is so good, literally all orders I’ve gotten are yummy and reasonably priced. The staff is always sooo friendly and greet with a huge smile. They have a punch card so after 8 drinks you get one free. And this last time I went, when I ordered they asked me “what are you most looking forward to this week?” This question shifted my mindset immediately to think positively and I loved it! 10/10
