Insider Tips
What first-timers wish they knew before visiting 2895 Richmond Rd.
First time here? Order the Brunette. It's the drink reviewers mention most, and it sets the bar for what this stand does well.
Mornings before 7am tend to move fast. Midday and after-school hours can back up, especially on weekends.
Ask for your drink dirty or add a flavor shot. Baristas here are used to custom orders and won't blink at requests.
This stand runs drive-thru only, so skip the walk-up plan. Two lanes keep things moving even when it's busy.
Try the 7 Energy drinks if you need an afternoon boost instead of more coffee. They rotate flavors worth asking about.

The coffee is great when there are enough workers. However, I went this morning and spent 30 minutes in line because they only had one young woman working in the front. I don’t blame the young woman for the speed at which drinks were going out, but I do blame whatever corporate branch only hired one worker to be outside this morning. Also, please know if you are in a time constraint once you enter the 7 Brew drive-through you cannot leave. I don’t know if they do this because they think it’ll force you to order coffee since you have to sit through the line anyway but again I was stuck there for 30 minutes and left with no coffee because they do not let you exit the line.

20 minutes of waiting for a cup of coffee? Slowest service of all time.
