Situated directly on Long Hollow Pike just around the corner from Kroger and a few blocks off of 65, 7 Brew joins the growing list of walk-up/drive thru chain coffee spots that are littering (in a good way) the Nashville area!
While I have heard about 7 Brew, I had never actually been to one, so when I saw the shell starting to raise from the ground, I was immediately intrigued and excited...because even though I have my favorite spots...how can one have too many places to get a tasty coffee from?!
On a busy weekend day on my way to Kroger, I was flagged down by the excited staff and I just could not say no, and quickly swung in to the drive thru. Never having 7 Brew before, I popped onto the site and immediately saw the White Chocolate Mocha, which is an all time favorite of mine...but then I saw the Smooth 7, which is a White Chocolate & Irish Creme Breve, and that was it -love at first sight.
Iced Smooth 7 was super tasty, a good mix of Irish Creme and White Chocolate. Legit perfect start to my Saturday morning shopping escapades that took me from Kroger to BJ's within the hour...all while sipping my iced coffee!
The space is compact, but well laid out. I can see the line dumping out onto Long Hollow being an issue, but I think the demand will mellow out once a few weeks pass. But overall the space is thoughtfully laid out and functional.
They tout having 20,000+ unique beverages, which I can certainly imagine, but the menu showcases a much smaller amount of solid "base" drinks, including a few brand curated beverages. Menu features all your favorite classic drinks, a few fancy ones and even some energy drinks, lemonades, teas and more.
Service, as expected, was great. Staff was friendly, patient and excited!
Overall, cool to have 7 Brew in the neighborhood. While I enjoyed my Smooth 7, I am looking forward to grabbing a classic cold brew with a few add-ons next time I swing through. read more
