Have you ever wanted to create any coffee concoction of fabulous flavors, such as pecan pie, cupcake, cinnamon roll, or candy cane? At Seven Brew, you can! They offer 20,000 different combinations of flavors you can mix together to create any unique drink.
Seven Brew officially opened in Tampa on Oct. 20, just 50 minutes away from campus! It might be a longer drive, but when you try their drinks, it will be worth the mini road trip!
Seven Brew was originally a drive-thru coffee stand in Rogers, Arkansas, in 2017, until new owners bought the company in 2020 and turned it into a franchise. Now in 2025, Seven Brew has over 320 stores open in 32 states. It is one of the fastest-growing coffee companies in the United States!
As you go through the drive-thru, you will notice that most of the workers are outside. Seven Brew’s brand goal is to cultivate kindness and be face-to-face with their customers rather than over a speaker.
From the moment you order your drink to the moment you have it in your hand, a Seven Brew employee is talking to you kindly and making conversation.
As you wait for your drinks, the considerate staff asks how you’re doing and even makes small talk about your weekend plans.
They also play music to jam to while you wait.
It is not only a drive-thru coffee chain, but also a great experience!
There is no inside seating. Seven Brew is made for getting a drink on the go or a quick pick-me-up throughout your day.
Seven Brew is very popular amongst teenagers and college students. It is quick and can give you an energy boost anytime during the day.
They are open from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays. On Fridays and Saturdays, they stay open until 11:00 p.m.
Seven Brew started with only seven drinks when they first opened; that is where their name comes from, and they still serve those original drinks. They are known as the Blondie, Brunette, Smooth 7, Cinnamon Roll, White Chocolate Mocha, German Chocolate, and Sweet & Salty.
They also serve energy drinks and fizzy drinks. The fizz drinks are sparkling water mixed with any flavor on the menu. For example, you can order a peach fizz, and a popular add-in is cream. The energy drink options are called Ocean Breeze, Sunrise, Pixie Stick, and Nightshade.
Other drinks Seven Brew offers are teas, lemonades, smoothies, and shakes!
The most popular drink is “The Blondie,” which is a caramel and vanilla breve coffee.
“Wow, I have never tried anything like this before,” said Karilyn Judd, a customer who tried Seven Brew for the first time with a massive smile on her face.
Another favorite is “The Brunette,” a hazelnut-and-caramel mocha. This drink has lots of flavors. It is sweet, but you still taste the delicious coffee flavor.
A FAN FAVORITE IS ANOTHER ORIGINAL, “CINNAMON ROLL,” A WHITE CHOCOLATE-BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON COFFEE.
“This is the perfect fall drink!” said Sherilyn Craig, a customer at Seven Brew.
Not only are the drinks incredible, but the prices are also low, ranging from three to four dollars per drink. In the current economy, that is a great deal!
Seven Brew recently came out with a holiday menu, which includes Holiday Punch, 7 Brew Energy, Creme Brulé Latte, Pecan Pie Breve, Candy Cane Mocha, Brew Frost 7 Fizz Soda, and Santa’s Cookie Mocha.
Seven Brew offers so many options for fun drinks! Stop by the Tampa Location on Hillsborough Road and try a classic favorite, sparkling, flavorful soda, or create your own drink of your dreams!
