Plenty of Buford regulars used to be loyal Starbucks customers for decades, driving past this spot without a second thought. After one too many slow visits at the Starbucks down the street on Buford Drive, they found this stand off the freeway and stuck around for good.
The lot sits right before Mall of Georgia, shared with Texas Roadhouse. Traffic can look messy during weekend shopping runs, but reviewers say the drive-thru line moves faster than it looks from Buford Drive, even during busy stretches.
Commuters hitting I-85 through Buford stop in during the 6:30 to 9 AM rush before work. Staff keep the line moving even when it wraps around the building, which regulars say happens often, especially near the Mall of Georgia exit.
Most people order straight from the 7 Brew menu app to skip the wait during busy afternoons. First timers usually start with a classic from 7 Originals, then branch out once they find a favorite drink to keep coming back for.
