7 Brew Honeybun Cinnamon Spice Tea

My grandmother used to make honeybuns on Sunday mornings and this drink smells and tastes eerily close to the glaze she put on them. I am not exaggerating when I say it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. I ordered it hot with a tiny splash of cream and just sat in the parking lot for a few minutes. I know that sounds dramatic but this drink genuinely earned it. If you have any attachment to pastry and honey flavors, please try this.

I went in expecting to be underwhelmed because the name sounds like they are trying too hard, but this drink genuinely nails the honeybun thing. The white chocolate is the secret weapon. My one gripe is that at standard sweetness it is almost too much for me first thing in the morning. I tried it half-sweet on my second visit and that balance is closer to perfect. Four stars because full sweet is a bit aggressive, but half-sweet is five stars easily.

The flavor concept is spot on and I can absolutely taste what they were going for. Three syrups over cinnamon spice tea is a lot though, and for me personally it crossed the line into overwhelming sweetness pretty quickly. I did not dislike it, I just could not finish the large. I think a small or getting it half-sweet would be the right call for anyone who is not a hardcore sweet tea person. Worth trying once to see which side you fall on.
