Freelance Coffee Project

Freelance Coffee Project is a single-origin roaster and tasting room off Mariners Mile in Newport Beach. The converted industrial space is full of plants. Indoor seats are limited, and there's a patio. Drinks come in one size, alt milks cost extra and wifi has a one-hour limit.

Try the Kenya pour-over, a cortado or a long black. The iced matcha with orange cardamom is a good pick. There's cold brew and a Nutella croissant.
