i absolutely love this 7Brew. The staff interacts with you & are SO KIND. Customer service is wonderful. There was this one girl i cannot stop thinking about, she was light skin & had nose piercings, she said i was one of the most beautiful girl she’s ever seen. i felt a little shy at the time so i forgot to ask her name. I live an hour away, i drove back today hoping i would see her again, but i didnt. i need to know who she is! she was sooo beautiful as well & i wanna be her frienddd
