7 Brew Crème Brûlée Latte

About This Drink

Crème Brûlée Latte

The 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte is an espresso-based latte built to taste like the torched sugar crust on top of a classic French custard dessert, combining freshly pulled espresso, steamed or cold milk, caramel syrup, and vanilla syrup into a single caramelized-sugar flavor. Pricing runs $3.00 for a Kids 10oz, $4.50 for a Small 16oz, $5.50 for a Medium 24oz, and $6.50 for a Large 32oz. Caffeine is straightforward espresso math: 60mg in a Kids (1 shot), 120mg in a Small or Medium (2 shots), and 240mg in a Large (4 shots). Calories range from roughly 150 in a Kids Hot up to about 620 in a Large Chiller, with the popular Medium Iced landing near 340.

Unlike the smoothies and shakes at 7 Brew, which are built on a proprietary dairy ice cream mix, the Creme Brulee Latte is a true latte. That means espresso first, then milk, then the flavor pumps - which is why it tastes more like coffee than dessert compared to the Blondie or the Brunette. The "creme brulee" flavor at 7 Brew is not one single syrup in most stores; it is the interplay between the buttery, slightly burnt-sugar note of caramel and the eggy, custardy roundness of vanilla. Layered over espresso and dairy, the two combine into something that genuinely reads as torched sugar rather than plain caramel.

What makes this drink worth ordering at a drive-thru-only chain from Rogers, Arkansas is flexibility. You can get it Hot (steamed milk, thin microfoam cap), Iced (cold milk over ice, the most-ordered version), or as a Chiller (blended, milkshake-thick, the sweetest and highest-calorie build). Every element is adjustable - half-sweet, sugar-free vanilla, oat milk, extra shot, extra caramel drizzle. The Creme Brulee Latte is the drink to order when you want dessert flavor without giving up the espresso.

Information for Crème Brûlée Latte

Contains Milk

Standard build uses 2 percent dairy milk. Whipped cream and caramel drizzle are also dairy. Request oat, almond, or coconut milk with no whip for a dairy-free version.

Vegetarian

Suitable as ordered. All components are espresso, dairy, and syrup based with no meat-derived ingredients.

Vegan Option Available

Order with almond, oat, or coconut milk, no whipped cream, and no caramel drizzle. Confirm that the caramel syrup at your location is a syrup rather than a dairy-containing sauce.

Gluten-Free Ingredients

Espresso, milk, and flavor syrups contain no gluten ingredients, though 7 Brew is not a certified gluten-free facility.

Nut-Free

The standard build contains no nuts, but almond milk is prepared on the same equipment. Mention a nut allergy at the window so the crew can rinse the pitcher.

Not Keto Friendly As Ordered

A Medium Iced carries roughly 35-45g of sugar. A closer keto build is a Small with sugar-free vanilla, no caramel, and heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk, which drops net carbs into the 4-6g range.

High Caffeine In Large Size

A Large delivers about 240mg from 4 shots. Not recommended for teens, pregnancy, or anyone limiting caffeine - order a Small or Medium at 120mg instead.

Lower Calorie Option Available

Half-sweet plus almond milk on a Medium Iced brings the drink from around 340 calories down to approximately 160-190.

TASTE

What Does the 7 Brew Crème Brûlée Latte Taste Like?

The first thing you get is aroma, especially on the Hot version - warm vanilla custard with a faint scorched-sugar edge that hits before the cup reaches your mouth. The opening sip is soft and rounded, dominated by vanilla and milk, with the caramel arriving about a half second later as a buttery, almost brown-butter sweetness rather than a sharp candy note. It reads as caramelized sugar, not caramel candy, and that distinction is the whole point of the drink.

Mid-sip is where the espresso shows up. 7 Brew pulls a medium-dark, chocolate-forward shot, so you get a cocoa bitterness that cuts through the sugar and keeps the drink from going cloying. On a Medium with 2 shots the coffee sits just underneath the sweetness. On a Large with 4 shots the balance flips and the espresso becomes the lead voice, with the creme brulee flavor riding behind it.

Texture depends heavily on your build. Hot is silky with a thin layer of microfoam that carries the vanilla aroma. Iced is thinner and cleaner, more refreshing, and the caramel note sharpens as the ice dilutes the milk fat. The Chiller is the dessert version - thick, cold, frosty, closer to a coffee milkshake, and noticeably sweeter because blending mutes bitterness.

The finish is the best part: a lingering toasted-sugar aftertaste with a faint dairy sweetness, similar to the last spoonful of flan. There is no artificial burnt aftertaste if you keep it at standard sweetness.

INGREDIENTS

What's Actually in the 7 Brew Crème Brûlée Latte?

Espresso Medium-dark house blend, freshly pulled to order. 1 shot Kids, 2 shots Small and Medium, 4 shots Large

Milk Steamed 2 percent for Hot, cold for Iced, blended with ice for the Chiller. Swappable for almond, oat, coconut, or half-and-half

Caramel Syrup Provides the burnt-sugar, buttery top note that mimics the torched crust. Roughly 2 pumps Small, 3 Medium, 4 Large

Vanilla Syrup Adds the custard-like body underneath the caramel. Sugar-free vanilla is available at no charge

Ice Used for the Iced build and blended into the Chiller build. Light ice is a free modification

Caramel Drizzle Optional finishing sauce inside the cup or on top of whipped cream. Adds about 30-50 calories per drizzle

Whipped Cream Standard on Chillers, available on Hot and Iced by request. Adds roughly 50-80 calories

Ingredients may vary by location. Always confirm with your barista.

First Time?

How to Order the Crème Brûlée Latte for the First Time

Order a Medium Iced Creme Brulee Latte, half-sweet, with an extra shot. That is the build most regulars land on after a few visits. The Medium is 24oz for $5.50, gives you 2 standard shots (3 with the add-on for 180mg), and half-sweet keeps the caramelized flavor while dropping roughly 15-22g of sugar.

If you are coming from Starbucks and normally order a Caramel Macchiato or a Vanilla Latte, order the Creme Brulee Latte at standard sweetness the first time so you have a fair baseline - 7 Brew syrup levels are generous but not extreme in a latte.

If you have a big sweet tooth or you are ordering for someone who does not really like coffee, get the Chiller. Blended, whipped, and drizzled, it functions as a dessert and hides the espresso almost completely.

If you are sensitive to sweetness, do not start with the Large. Four shots plus four syrup pumps in 32oz is a lot of drink. Start Small at $4.50 and scale up.

One thing worth knowing: this is a latte, not a shake. If you were expecting the thick ice-cream-mix texture of a 7 Brew shake or smoothie, order the Chiller version or you will be surprised by how coffee-forward it is.

Pro tip: Don't be afraid to ask your brewista for recommendations — they love helping first-timers!

How to get a drink similar to the Crème Brûlée Latte at other coffee chains

Similar flavored espresso drink

How to Order

From November through early January order a Grande Caramel Brulee Latte, iced or hot. Outside the holiday window that syrup is gone, so order a Grande Iced Latte with 2 pumps caramel syrup, 2 pumps vanilla syrup, and ask for caramel drizzle in the cup.

Key Difference

7 Brew uses a breve (half-and-half) base while Starbucks uses 2% milk by default. 7 Brew is typically creamier and sweeter.

Similar flavored drink

How to Order

Dutch Bros does not have a named creme brulee latte. Order a Large Iced Latte with caramel and vanilla and ask for the caramel drizzle. If your location stocks their caramel sauce rather than syrup, request that instead for a closer burnt-sugar note.

Key Difference

Dutch Bros tends to run slightly sweeter. Both are drive-thru only chains with a similar vibe.

7 Brew Large (32oz): $6.50 vs Starbucks Venti (24oz): approximately $6.45. That is $0.203 per ounce at 7 Brew versus $0.269 per ounce at Starbucks - you get 8 more ounces for 5 cents more. Even the 7 Brew Medium (24oz, $5.50) undercuts a same-size Venti by roughly a dollar.

Best Time to Enjoy

The Creme Brulee Latte is a morning-to-early-afternoon drink. A Small or Medium at 120mg of caffeine is a normal single-cup dose, so anytime before about 2pm is safe for most people if you want to sleep normally. The Large at 240mg is a genuine four-shot drink and is better treated as an 8am or a pre-shift order, not a 4pm pick-me-up. Seasonally, the Hot version shines from October through February - the toasted sugar and custard notes read as holiday flavors and it pairs naturally with cold weather. The Iced version works year-round and is the version most regulars default to. Save the Chiller for a hot afternoon when you want dessert instead of coffee; at roughly 620 calories for a Large it functions more like a milkshake with caffeine than a daily latte.

Danielle Rasmussen2 weeks ago

I got the Creme Brulee Latte hot on a whim because the crew member recommended it and now I get it three times a week. It actually tastes like the top of a creme brulee, not just caramel - there is a custardy vanilla thing happening underneath that makes it different from every other caramel drink out there. Medium hot with an extra shot is my order. Do not skip the extra shot, it balances everything.

Marcus Whitfield1 month ago

Really good drink and I like that it is a real latte instead of a milkshake. Only knocking a star because the standard sweetness on the Large was too much for me - four pumps in 32oz was pushing it. Reordered it half-sweet with oat milk and it was close to perfect. The caramelized sugar finish is legit and it holds up over ice better than I expected.

Priya Chandrasekaran3 months ago

Honestly I think this one gets outshined by the Blondie. The flavors are similar in the same caramel and vanilla neighborhood, and the Blondie has the half-and-half base that makes it richer. The Creme Brulee Latte is fine and I would drink it again, but if you want the dessert experience the Chiller is the only version that really delivers. The iced one tasted a little thin to me with regular milk.

Copycat Recipe

How to Make the Crème Brûlée Latte at Home

5 minutes

Ingredients

2 shots espresso (about 2 oz), or 1/3 cup strong moka pot or Aeropress coffee
1 tbsp Monin Creme Brulee syrup (0.5 oz)
2 tsp Torani Caramel syrup (about 0.33 oz)
1 tsp Torani Vanilla syrup
10 oz whole milk, or oat milk such as Oatly Barista Edition for a dairy-free version
1 cup ice for the iced version
Optional: 2 tsp Ghirardelli Caramel Flavored Sauce for drizzle
Optional: 1 tbsp granulated sugar for a real torched sugar garnish

Instructions

1

Pull 2 shots of espresso directly into a heatproof measuring cup. If you do not have an espresso machine, brew 1/3 cup of very concentrated coffee using twice your normal grounds.

2

While the espresso is still hot, stir in the Monin Creme Brulee syrup, Torani Caramel, and Torani Vanilla. Adding syrup to hot espresso dissolves it fully and prevents sweet sludge at the bottom of the glass.

3

For the iced version, swirl Ghirardelli caramel sauce around the inside of a 16oz glass, then fill with ice and pour in the milk.

4

Pour the sweetened espresso over the milk so it cascades through the ice, then stir once from the bottom.

5

For the hot version, steam or microwave the milk to about 150F, froth it with a handheld frother for 20 seconds, and pour it into the espresso mixture. Hold back the foam, pour the liquid, then spoon the foam on top.

6

Optional pro move for the real brulee effect: sprinkle 1 tbsp granulated sugar on a small metal spoon or heatproof saucer, torch it with a kitchen torch until amber, let it harden for 60 seconds, then crack it and float the shards on top of the foam.

Lighter Version

Use sugar-free syrups and skip whipped cream to save 100-150 calories.

Common Questions

How many calories are in a 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte?

A 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte ranges from about 150 calories for a Kids 10oz Hot up to roughly 620 calories for a Large 32oz Chiller. A Small 16oz Iced is near 230, the popular Medium 24oz Iced is approximately 340, and a Large 32oz Iced is around 470. Calories come almost entirely from the milk and the caramel plus vanilla syrup pumps, since espresso contributes under 10 calories. To cut the number down, order half-sweet (saves roughly 60-90 calories on a Medium), swap to almond milk (saves another 90-110), and skip whipped cream and drizzle. A Medium Iced half-sweet with almond milk lands in the 160-190 calorie range.

How much caffeine is in a 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte?

Caffeine depends on shot count, not size alone. A Kids gets 1 shot at approximately 60mg, a Small and a Medium each get 2 shots at approximately 120mg, and a Large gets 4 shots at approximately 240mg. Adding an extra shot costs a small upcharge and adds another 60mg, so a Large with an extra shot reaches roughly 300mg - close to the FDA-referenced 400mg daily ceiling for healthy adults in one drink. For comparison, a 7 Brew Cold Brew runs 156-335mg, so this latte is a more moderate caffeine option than the cold brew line.

What does the 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte taste like?

It tastes like torched sugar over vanilla custard with espresso underneath. The caramel syrup provides a buttery, slightly burnt sweetness while the vanilla syrup adds a rounder, eggy custard note, and together they read as caramelized sugar rather than plain caramel candy. 7 Brew uses a medium-dark chocolate-forward espresso, so there is real cocoa bitterness in the middle of each sip that keeps it from tasting like syrup. The finish lingers with a toasted sugar aftertaste similar to the last bite of flan. It is sweeter than a plain vanilla latte but noticeably less dessert-like than a 7 Brew shake.

Is the 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte better hot, iced, or as a Chiller?

Iced is the most ordered and the most balanced - cold milk keeps the drink refreshing and the caramel note reads sharper. Hot is the best version for actually tasting the creme brulee concept, because steaming releases the vanilla and burnt-sugar aroma and the microfoam carries it to your nose before each sip. The Chiller is blended with ice and whipped cream and is the dessert version; it is the sweetest and highest in calories, around 620 for a Large versus roughly 400 for a Large Hot. If it is your first time and you want the flavor to shine, order it Hot in a Small.

Can you get the 7 Brew Creme Brulee Latte dairy-free or sugar-free?

Yes to both, with one caveat. For dairy-free, ask for almond, oat, or coconut milk instead of 2 percent and skip the whipped cream and caramel drizzle, which are dairy-based. Oat milk keeps the closest texture to the original. For sugar-free, 7 Brew carries sugar-free vanilla syrup, so a sugar-free vanilla plus half-sweet caramel build cuts sugar dramatically. A fully sugar-free version depends on whether your location stocks sugar-free caramel, so ask at the window. A sugar-free vanilla, half-caramel, almond milk Medium Iced lands near 100-130 calories with roughly 7-10g of sugar from the milk and remaining caramel - not strictly keto, but very manageable.
