    Facade.
    Pauline L.

    A bunch of 7 Brew branches have been cropping up in the Capital Region recently. According to staff, this location in Colonie was the region's first. It opened a couple of years ago. I was interested in trying out this chain but the newest locations seem to be crazy busy. So I went to the Colonie location because it seemed just slightly calmer. I realize one of the key features to this business model is its drive through service. However, since I did not understand the menu I got out of my car and walked up to the door where I was greeted by staff. I found them incredibly attentive. Everything in the menu-- whether coffees or fruity drinks-- seemed very sweet and syrupy. The staff assured me that they were. So what could a diabetic like me possibly order? We arrived at a Frozen Coffee Chiller. It was plain. No sugar. Just coffee slush with half-and-half. It was great. The staff was wonderful. They even stepped out a few times to check on me. Did I have any allergies? Any special needs? It was funny to think that I wanted the plainest frozen coffee drink but my order took a bit more to process since 7 Brew specializes in naughty beverages that taste more like desserts. The young staff was very dedicated to getting my order right and that says a lot. I think some other Yelpers offered great advice to new customers planning on using the drive through. Consider acquainting yourself with the menu ahead of time. It's really a crazy large beverage menu. In my case, it worked to walk up and ask for help. Considering how busy the staff is, it's not the most efficient way to place an order. I appreciate the kindness that I was shown and now I know how to place an order there that will meet my dietary needs. Thanks, 7 Brew.

    Amazing experience at 7 Brew first going to a 7 brew so the menu was a bit overwhelming but, the staff member is super helpful and explained really well. I ordered an ocean with two cream and it was absolutely amazing! A blue raspberry, lime, and coconut energy drink. For how busy this location was our drinks were made very fast and they were delicious. I would definitely come back in the future.

    So let's just say make sure you study the menu before coming. I was not prepared and there are team members who request your order at the drive through with no menu. So luckily I knew something about a banana bread latte so I just picked that. It was really good but super sweet and I was able to get it with skim milk. So there are def options available. I want to go back but try something different. What did you get?

    Ordered the brunette today anc it was SO good! My mom ordered the blondie with coconut and was in love despite not being a coffee person!! Def a favorite spot now! The service is always so nice too!!

    I was shopping at the Aldi next door and wanted a coffee so I walked over. This is set up as a drive through coffee shop but you can actually walk up and order at the side. A little awkward, but it is possible. Go to the big door right up by the front - not the drive through window. There are even menus on the wall here to help you order. No inside seating. You order and get your items to go. I got iced coffee which was very good. They also non dairy milk options .

    menu as of Sep 8

    We came here during their soft opening, and they did an AMAZING job with that. I'll need to update this review again when we come back. My favorite by far was the brunette. A drive through coffee & energy drink place that gets you caffee QUICK. They've got plenty of customizations to make sure you get the drink YOU want. A ton of syrups options (see picture), milk alternatives, espresso shots, sugar and ice levels, etc. They only contingency is that their syrups are torani syrups and a good amount of them contain dairy, so be careful if you're lactose intolerant. Just because you sub for alternative milk, doesn't mean your syrup is. Either way -- will be back, especially for a post Aldi shopping trip reward.

    I knew it opened but forgot about it until my friend and I were looking for a coffee place to go to but as we arrived saw it was only a drive thru so she went home and I continued thru the line. I quickly signed up for points online first and than the outside barista was very helpful. I knew I wanted pumpkin flavored something and with her help decided on a pumpkin blondie (vanilla & caramel) but low sugar and iced with cold brew on top for an additional 75 cents. Seems like there are plenty of drinks for none coffee lovers too or there will be smoothies and shakes also teas. Not sure if I like the only option is to drive thru though, mostly if im in that area and wanna chill with friends. It reminds me of some other establishments (chain restaurants) that opened and only had a drive thru almost local that didnt fair well with just a drive thru but when they added the locally they added indoors. DONE With That Rant lol . Since it's just drinks maybe it will work.

The tea was wonderful and our lunch items came quickly and were tasty. We asked to keep a menu, explaining we would like to get dessert after. Once we we received our lunch food, it quickly went downhill. We never saw our waitress again after that. My son finished his Boba tea and wanted another, but our waitress never came over to check on us. We sat for over 40 minutes after we recieved our initial order and not one waitstaff came over to ask if we wanted anything else, nor did they come over to give us the check. After giving up hope of dessert and more tea, we eventually went to the front counter to pay since we realized no one was coming to give us the bill. Normally, I would understand if it was understaffed or busy- yet the two parties next to us had waitstaff come over numerous times. We were literally ignored. We won't be back and I do not recommend.

The tender moist beef slices on a roll were very good. The Ginger dressing on the salad was flavorful, and I wish I could buy it to elevate salads at home. We enjoyed the Red Bean Ice Cream which is creamy with tidbits of bean. Outstanding. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance is relaxed which was welcome after shopping on Wolf Road. And the bucket chairs are so comfortable.

I didn't realize they had reopened until I saw them next to the relocated Penzey's. Hooray! Two things I miss from the old location are the ability to buy coffee beans, and the more eclectic layout. No worries about the beans these days. Their new site is a much more regular layout, but it's more than adequately compensated by a very relaxed and cozy atmosphere, with more space behind the counter to prepare foods. And that counter holds a lot of other confections as well. Their regular coffee is a bit mild, but there's so many other options if you want to vary your coffee's strength and flavor. I liked the variety of teas available too (mostly hot, but some iced). Service is attentive, and your orders come out quickly. This remains a great alternative to other fast food options along Wolf Rd.

Walking in, this spot is a mad scientist lab. Large roasters are front and center, this isn't a classroom but a coffee laboratory!

Professor Java? You earned that title, I enjoyed my daily visits.

They close for half an hour between four and 430 just to switch into the evening . Check their website for accurate hours. ***** We did not need to make a reservation. We just walked in. Husband and I came for date night and we LOVED everything we had! The drinks the food the atmosphere, everything was perfect! The service was quick friendly and fun! I had the lavender mocktail which came with actual pieces of lavender in it and my husband had the other mocktail offered. Both had beautiful presentation that was so enticing! For food I had the chicken skewers which for hot honey was NOT spicy in the least so don't let that scare you away if you're sensitive to spice it's incredibly mild. I wish a small bit of rice/zucchini or something was served with the chicken to fill out the meal but the chicken itself was SO yummy!! we also ordered the shoestring truffle french fries and we were a little nervous cause shoestring could be really thin, but these were the perfect size. They weren't too thin and they were so yummy. My husband ordered the salmon and that equally was perfect, served with quinoa. After we both had the raspberry cake for dessert! I found the dessert to be larger than the dinner for myself and I had a hard time finishing it so my husband finished his and mine lol it was so so good!! it's a beautiful dining room with the screened in porch.
