Best 7 Brew Drinks at a Glance

Here’s a quick overview of the top-ranked 7 Brew drinks across all categories. Scroll down for full details on each one.

1. Rebel Energy Drinks — Best Overall

If there’s one thing that puts 7 Brew on the map for most customers, it’s the Rebel Energy drinks. Using Rebel as the base, these drinks come in a nearly endless variety of fruit flavors and sweet combinations that don’t taste like traditional coffee at all.

The customization options here are unmatched. You can pair Rebel with flavor syrups like peach, mango, strawberry, watermelon, and dozens more, then top it with coconut milk, sweet cream, or fruit popping boba. The result is a colorful, refreshing drink that works for coffee lovers and non-coffee drinkers alike.

• Best for: Anyone who wants caffeine without a coffee taste
• Caffeine: Yes — from the Rebel Energy base (check the caffeine guide for details)
• Customization: Extremely high — dozens of syrups and toppings
• Pro: Huge variety, great for beginners, works hot or cold
• Con: Can be very sweet; calorie content varies significantly by customization

2. Blondie — Best Coffee Drink

The Blondie is one of the fan-favorite 7 Originals — 7 Brew’s signature line of flavored coffee drinks. It’s a smooth, sweet vanilla-forward coffee that sits somewhere between a latte and a flavored cold brew. If you’re a coffee drinker who likes things on the sweeter side without going full dessert, the Blondie is a great starting point.

• Best for: Coffee lovers who enjoy sweet, smooth drinks
• Caffeine: Yes — espresso-based
• Customization: Can adjust sweetness, milk, and flavors
• Pro: Accessible, smooth, very popular
• Con: May be too sweet for those who prefer black coffee

3. Brunette — Best Chocolate Coffee

The Brunette brings a richer, more indulgent profile to the 7 Originals lineup. It leans into chocolate and mocha flavors with enough coffee backbone to keep it from feeling like a milkshake. If you usually order mochas or chocolate lattes at other coffee shops, this is your 7 Brew go-to.

• Best for: Mocha fans, chocolate coffee lovers
• Caffeine: Yes — espresso-based
• Customization: Adjust chocolate intensity, milk base, sweetness
• Pro: Rich flavor, satisfying and filling
• Con: Not ideal for those who prefer lighter drinks

4. Cinnamon Roll — Best Sweet Coffee

Warm spice, sweetness, and coffee — that’s the Cinnamon Roll in a nutshell. It tastes like a freshly baked cinnamon roll dissolved into your morning coffee. It’s comforting, distinctive, and one of the most creative drinks on the 7 Originals menu.

• Best for: Sweet coffee fans, dessert-coffee crossover lovers
• Caffeine: Yes — espresso-based
• Pro: Unique, very flavorful, feels seasonal even when it’s available year-round
• Con: Very sweet — not for those who want a clean coffee taste

5. 7 Brew Smoothies — Best Non-Coffee Drink

7 Brew smoothies are thick, fruity, and caffeine-free — making them the top pick for non-coffee drinkers who still want something filling and flavorful. They’re made with real fruit blends and come in multiple flavor combinations that change by location and season.

• Best for: Non-coffee drinkers, fruit lovers, families
• Caffeine: No (caffeine-free)
• Customization: Flavor combinations vary; can often add or swap fruit bases
• Pro: No caffeine, filling, genuinely fruity taste
• Con: Calorie content can be higher than expected

6. 7 Brew Lemonades — Best Fruity Option

7 Brew lemonades are a standout choice for customers who want something refreshing, fruity, and caffeine-free. The base lemonade is tart and bright, and the flavored versions — with fruit syrups added in — push it into genuinely delicious territory. Popular pairings include strawberry, raspberry, peach, and mango.

• Best for: Fruity drink lovers, summer visits, non-coffee customers
• Caffeine: No (caffeine-free base)
• Pro: Refreshing, great for warm weather, lots of flavor options
• Con: Can be very sweet with added syrups

7. Cookie Butter — Best Adventurous Drink

The Cookie Butter 7 Original is one of the more creative items on the menu. It takes the warm, spiced flavor of Speculoos cookie butter — think cinnamon, ginger, and caramel all at once — and blends it into a coffee drink that’s unlike anything else at 7 Brew or most other coffee chains.

• Best for: Adventurous drinkers who want something different
• Caffeine: Yes — espresso-based
• Pro: Unique, bold, a conversation starter
• Con: Polarizing — if you don’t love speculoos flavor, it might not be for you

8. 7 Brew Shakes — Best Dessert Drink

7 Brew shakes are thick, creamy, and fully indulgent. These aren’t coffee drinks — they’re real milkshakes, and they deliver. Flavor options typically include classics like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry alongside seasonal variations. If you want something that’s pure comfort food in cup form, the shake is the answer.

• Best for: Dessert fans, kids, non-coffee customers
• Caffeine: No
• Pro: Genuinely thick and creamy, satisfying
• Con: Higher calorie count; more of a treat than an everyday drink

9. 7 Brew Teas — Best Light Option

7 Brew teas are a lighter, more relaxed choice compared to coffee or energy drinks. They carry a smaller caffeine load and are often less sweet than the other drink categories — though you can always add flavor syrups. Good options for customers who want a mellow afternoon drink.

• Best for: Light caffeine, afternoon drinks, lower-sugar options
• Caffeine: Low to moderate (teas contain natural caffeine)
• Pro: Lighter feel, lower calorie base, refreshing
• Con: Less dramatic flavors compared to Rebel drinks

10. 7 Brew Fizz — Best Sparkling Option

7 Brew fizz drinks are the menu’s soda-style option — carbonated, refreshing, and available in multiple flavor combinations. They’re a good pick for customers who like the experience of a flavored soda but want something a step above a fast-food fountain drink.

• Best for: Soda lovers, non-coffee drinkers, customers who want something sparkling
• Caffeine: Varies by combination
• Pro: Fun, bubbly, great variety
• Con: Not as filling as shakes or smoothies

11. Sweet & Salty — Best Salted Caramel

The Sweet & Salty 7 Original nails the salted caramel combination that’s hard to find done well at most drive-through coffee chains. The balance of sweetness and salt cuts through what could be an overly sugary drink and adds complexity that keeps it interesting sip after sip.

• Best for: Salted caramel lovers, those who want coffee with personality
• Caffeine: Yes — espresso-based
• Pro: Well-balanced, distinctive, satisfying
• Con: Can run salty if the ratio is off

How to Customize Your Favorite 7 Brew Drink

One of 7 Brew’s biggest advantages is how far you can take a single drink through customization. Every major drink category supports modifications — and most baristas are used to handling specific requests at the window.

Common customizations include:

• Changing the milk base (whole, oat, almond, coconut, sweet cream)
• Adding or removing flavor syrups
• Adjusting sweetness level (less sweet, extra sweet)
• Adding toppings like coconut milk, popping boba, or whipped cream
• Choosing hot, iced, or blended preparation
