What People Are Saying
from Google"One of my favorite places to stop when I'm in town. Love the vibe and food. I got the Sourdough English muffin sandwich, protein bites, and a seasonal coffee at my most recent visit. I would order all 3 items again."
"First visit here was great! Got a parking spot right out front, but the parking ramp is very close. The dirty iced chai was yummy. The chocolate chip banana muffins were amazing, make sure you get a couple! Service was friendly! Will definitely be back!"
"July 12, 2025 (4.5 ⭐) - A visit to the Free Range Exchange provided the best breakfast sandwiches we have eaten. The coffee was pleasant and the atmosphere was great. Our breakfast choices included: the Bizwich, Bagelwich, Bacon Egg & Cheese English Muffin and fresh baked muffins. The Bagelwich was topped with a spread of apple butter which made it a sandwich to die for. The Bizwich was wrapped in a cheddar scone. This made for a truly unique breakfast sandwich. The coffee was good. The espresso was a little dark and not the best pull, but complimented the breakfast choices. We added a fruit bowl and strawberry banana smoothie to round out the meal. A nice visit all-in-all."
"Hands down the best breakfast burrito in town, affordable, high-quality, and refreshingly nontraditional compared to what you normally expect from a breakfast burrito. Creative flavors, excellent ingredients, and baked goods that are just as good and easy on the wallet."
"Overall a great place. Solid food and beverage options. But it's the atmosphere that really makes this place stand out. The interior is welcoming and open, and there are outdoor seating options for when the weather is nice."
