Suddenly, Castleton has become a bit of a hotspot with Ascend Coffee behind the mall, Cath Coffee in the mall, Dutch Brothers recently opened next to Krispy Kreme, and the delightful folks at 7 Brew now open on the south side of East 82nd Street (think Hi Mango). It's a weird little spot, though it's especially fun at night when the lights are on at 7 Brew and the spot carries sort of a retro meets space galaxy vibe. As one of the few coffee shops open late, here's hoping folks discover this little gem.
First off, this is a drive-thru joint. I believe they have walk-up, though I wasn't paying attention. There are two lanes, a definite plus, and they were keeping things moving quite nicely.
7 Brew is almost exclusively beverages - 7 originals, 7 classics, 7 energy, 7 fizz sodas, lemonades, smoothies, shakes, and teas/chai/matchas.
As a general rule, 7 Brew carries very little in the way of food. I do believe they have what they call "muffin tops" in a handful of varieties.
It was a little too late when I arrived to do my usual energy drink, though I suppose the dark chocolate cold brew wasn't much better. Who needed sleep anyway? They do have a variety of ways you can customize your drinks.
The employees were friendly. The service was quick. The cold brew was amazing. The vibe here was super cool. They do offer a rewards club that you can easily sign up for - then you only have to give your phone number.
I'd seen 7 Brew arriving in the suburbs. I was wondering if they'd land in Indy. They're definitely here and it's nice to see the growth in the Castleton area. Next time? I'm aiming for one of the energy options or the cookies n' cream shake.
Yum. I'll definitely be back. read more
