Drivers along 7th Street know the crew by name. Reviewers keep mentioning the same thing, everyone smiles and says hello, and the staff seem to actually enjoy the job, not just perform it.
Families heading home from Matagorda and the Gulf Coast make this their last stop before Bay City fades in the mirror. Even the dachshunds get pup cups, and nobody rushes them out the door.
The line moves fast even during the after work rush near downtown and the courthouse square. Reviewers say the wait never matches the quality, drinks come out right and quick every time.
There's enough variety on the 7 Brew menu to keep regulars from getting bored, from cold brews to fruity refreshers. Locals cycle through favorites depending on the season and how hot the drive back is.
