Best 7 Brew Drinks for Non-Coffee Drinkers

Think 7 Brew is just for coffee lovers? Think again. While 7 Brew built its reputation on exceptional coffee and energy drinks, a huge portion of their menu is designed specifically for people who skip the coffee. From fresh-blended smoothies and rich, creamy shakes to house-made lemonades, fruit teas, and sparkling fizz drinks — there’s a full world of non-coffee options waiting for you at the drive-through window.

Whether you’re avoiding caffeine entirely, bringing kids along, or simply not a coffee fan, 7 Brew has you covered. This guide breaks down every non-coffee category on the 7 Brew menu, highlights the best picks in each, and helps you find exactly the right drink for your taste and lifestyle — no coffee knowledge required.

We’ll also cover which options are truly caffeine-free (some teas and energy drinks may surprise you), great choices for kids, and how to tap into the 7 Brew secret menu for even more variety — all without ordering a single coffee drink.

Non-Coffee Drinks at a Glance

Here’s a quick overview of every non-coffee category at 7 Brew, so you know exactly what’s available before you pull up to the window.

1. Lemonades — Fresh, Fruity & Caffeine-Free

7 Brew lemonades are a fan favorite for good reason: they’re made fresh, bursting with flavor, and completely caffeine-free. The base is a classic house lemonade that 7 Brew customizes with syrups, fruit purees, and flavor shots to create dozens of combinations.

Why non-coffee drinkers love them: Lemonades are bright, sweet-tart, and refreshing — no coffee flavor anywhere. They’re available in every size and can be customized to be as sweet or as tart as you like. Ask for more lemon, less syrup, or extra fruit to make it your own.

Explore the full range on our 7 Brew Lemonades guide.

2. Smoothies — Thick, Fruity & Filling

7 Brew smoothies are blended fruit drinks with no coffee involved. They’re thicker and more filling than lemonades, making them a great choice when you want something that feels more like a snack or light meal. Smoothies are caffeine-free and made with real fruit flavors.

Best for: Anyone who wants a hearty, satisfying drink that’s still sweet and fruit-forward. Smoothies work well for kids and adults alike, though keep in mind they tend to be higher in natural sugars.

3. Shakes — Rich, Creamy & Indulgent

If you want something seriously indulgent, 7 Brew shakes are the move. These are thick, creamy milkshake-style drinks — completely coffee-free, completely caffeine-free, and completely satisfying. They’re the dessert option of the 7 Brew menu.

Best for: People who want something rich and dessert-like. Think of them as a treat rather than a daily drink, given their richness. Perfect for a special occasion or when you just want to indulge.

4. Teas — Light & Refreshing (Check Caffeine)

7 Brew serves a variety of tea-based drinks that can be a great coffee alternative. They’re lighter than smoothies, refreshing, and often have interesting flavor combinations. However — and this is important — some teas naturally contain caffeine. Black teas and green teas do; herbal fruit teas generally don’t. Always ask your barista if you need a caffeine-free tea.

Best for: Tea drinkers who want something refreshing with a bit of complexity. Great served over ice in warmer months.

5. Fizz Drinks — Sparkling & Fun

7 Brew’s fizz drinks are flavored sparkling beverages — think of them as a more elevated, customizable sparkling soda experience. They’re caffeine-free, fun, and come in a huge range of flavors. If you love sparkling drinks, fizz is a great pick.

Best for: Anyone who loves carbonated drinks and wants something playful and refreshing. The carbonation gives fizz drinks a different texture from lemonades and smoothies.

6. Rebel Energy Drinks — No Coffee, Still Caffeinated

The 7 Brew Rebel Energy drinks are an important category for non-coffee drinkers to understand. They contain no coffee whatsoever — but they do contain caffeine from the Rebel Energy drink base. If you want energy without coffee flavor, Rebel drinks are excellent. If you’re avoiding caffeine entirely, these are not the right choice.

Why non-coffee drinkers love Rebels: The flavor profile is nothing like coffee. Rebel drinks are sweet, fruity, and often compared to flavored energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster — but heavily customized with 7 Brew’s signature syrups and cream. They deliver the energy kick without any coffee taste.

Best Non-Coffee Drinks by Flavor Profile

Best Fruity Options

If you love bright, fruit-forward flavors, 7 Brew has you completely covered. The best fruity non-coffee picks are: Mango Lemonade, Strawberry Smoothie, Peach Fizz, Peach Tea, and Strawberry Rebel. All of these lead with a clean fruit flavor and minimal creaminess. The lemonade and fizz options are the lightest; smoothies are thicker and more filling.

Best Sweet Options

For those with a serious sweet tooth: Caramel Shake, Strawberry Lemonade, Mixed Berry Smoothie, and any Rebel with vanilla sweet cream are crowd favorites. The shakes are the most dessert-like. Lemonades with extra syrup or added fruit purees are a more refreshing sweet option. You can also ask to add vanilla syrup or caramel syrup to almost any base drink.

Best Creamy Options

Craving something rich and creamy without coffee? The Vanilla Shake, Chocolate Shake, and Rebels with sweet cream top the list. You can also ask for your Rebel to be “creamed up” — baristas at 7 Brew are happy to add sweet cream or half-and-half to most drinks, including Rebels and even some teas, to create a creamier texture.

Best 7 Brew Drinks for Kids

7 Brew is a great stop for families — as long as you stick to the caffeine-free categories for kids. Never order Rebel Energy drinks or caffeinated teas for children. The following are all good choices for kids:

Order a smaller size for kids, and ask for light ice to get more drink in the cup. All of these can also have their sweetness reduced if needed — just ask for fewer pumps of syrup.

Secret Menu for Non-Coffee Drinkers

The 7 Brew secret menu isn’t just for coffee fans. Many of the most creative and beloved secret menu builds are based on lemonades, Rebels, fizz drinks, and smoothies. The key is knowing how to describe what you want to the barista.

When ordering a non-coffee secret menu drink, describe the base, then the flavors, then any add-ins (cream, fruit, syrups). For example: “Can I get a lemonade with strawberry, coconut, and a splash of pineapple?” or “A Rebel with mango, lime, and a float of sweet cream.” 7 Brew baristas are skilled at building custom drinks — they’ll make it happen.

Non-coffee secret menu categories worth exploring include secret Rebel builds and any of the custom lemonade or fizz combinations that regulars have developed over time. Check our full 7 Brew secret menu for inspiration.

Nutrition Tips for Non-Coffee Orders

Even without coffee, some 7 Brew drinks can be high in sugar and calories — particularly shakes and smoothies. Here’s how to keep your order in check if that matters to you:

• Request fewer syrup pumps — most baristas use a default amount; asking for half the pumps cuts sweetness and sugar significantly
• Choose a smaller size — all non-coffee drinks are available in multiple sizes; going one size down reduces sugar and calories
• Skip the whip — whipped cream on shakes and smoothies adds calories quickly
• Ask for light ice — this gets you more actual drink, not more calories
• Use the calorie calculator — our 7 Brew calorie calculator can help you estimate your order’s impact
