Always a good experience. 👍 They are pretty fast for the variety of drink possibilities - coffee, soda, freeze, etc. The employees are generally knowledgeable and often are quick to give recommendations. The system saves your drinks so it's easy to pull up a drink you or your friend enjoyed last time. They can also do a mystery drink, which is fun, and you can order it again next time! 😉

I’ve been to many different coffee and drink places, but 7 Brew Coffee truly stands out above the rest. As a law student, long days and late nights are part of life, and finding a place with great energy and genuinely kind people makes a huge difference. The young employees are incredibly friendly, respectful, and professional. No matter how busy they are, they always greet customers with positive attitudes and real smiles that make people feel welcomed. Their teamwork, communication, and work ethic are honestly impressive to watch. The drinks are consistently amazing, the service is fast, and the atmosphere always feels uplifting. It’s rare to find a place where employees work this hard while still treating every customer with kindness and enthusiasm. 7 Brew is more than just a coffee stop it’s one of those places that can genuinely make your day better. Highly recommend it to everyone looking for great drinks, positive vibes, and outstanding customer service.
