For this issue of Spartanburg Study Spots, Ariella Garrell will review one of the citie’s most popular locations: The Fretwell.

As part of the chain of Little River Roasting Company locations, The Fretwell provides a great place to get a coffee for a boost of energy before starting a day of work. The Fretwell has many seating options, with not only spacious tables inside, but a variety of outdoor seating from benches to chairs to bar tables. Inside, The Fretwell’s open layout and many light sources makes for a great place to study or to even just enjoy a book. The Fretwell also provides food to make it easier to get through a long study session. Their breakfast, lunch and dinner menus have something for everyone, from salads to sandwiches, to burritos and quesadillas. During the day, The Fretwell is a great spot to finish a project or work on an essay, but after a long day of studying, The Fretwell can also be a spot for entertainment. Their inside stage provides a great spot for live music either to listen to while working or just simply to enjoy.

The best parts of The Fretwell go beyond its interior, flowing outside onto a lawn where parents and kids can be found enjoying the sun. With many of its outside seating options, The Fretwell makes for a great place to enjoy the outdoor while getting work done. For busy parents, The Fretwell has many games and toys for kids to play with while in a meeting or writing emails. During the weekend, The Fretwell transforms into a place that everyone can enjoy, no matter what they came there to do.
