    The cortado I ordered was yummy and pretty. Super friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    First time In 15 years on our trips back to Lansing that I've found a cute, good, indie coffee shop! Love the vibe and to see downtown indie spirit trying to thrive. I'm a mocha snob and this one was good, ot amazing, but well balanced, not too sweet, nice froth and smooth. Delicious, hearty blueberry muffin, too. Hope this place stays in business until our next trip back to The Motherland.

    Can get really busy on weekends and all the coffee options can be a little overwhelming if you're not exactly sure what kind of coffee you want to order. The cashier was super helpful in explaining which blends were what and which ones I'd prefer. My friends and I split a french press and enjoyed just looking around all the decor there. It may be hard to grab a table with how busy it can get but it's definitely a good local coffee shop to try out.

    I adore this coffee shop! This is definitely the place to go! Yesterday was the first time I have ever gone here at night, and let me just say I was blown away by their open mic set up. They already have phenomenal coffee and an abundance of delicious & unique syrups, so adding music to the mix just made me love Blue Owl even more. I always try to switch it up and try different flavors everytime and I haven't be disappointed yet! Such a cool laid back atmosphere with art from local artists and great service! I love the vibe in here and it's a great place to study. I will be back for more. They have the best lattes in Lansing!

    Very good mocha with oat milk & toasted bagel! I'd recommend swinging by the REO Town if in Lansing.

    Chill. There are not a lot of power outlets so it might not be a good place to use laptops or charge. Light music, good for reading.

    I enjoyed it so much that after walking around reo town for 10 minutes, I turned back around and went back in for another cup of their coffee.

    absolutely love this 7brew!!!! every drink i get is always 10/10, and the employees are always so…read morecheerful and kind!!!!! shout out to emma g, jill, madison, and tyler!!!!!!

    This was my first time at 7brew, and I didn't realize it's a drive through only! That explains why…read moreI couldn't find any online ordering option. When I pulled up, the shop was tiny and the drive through looked dreadfully long, but I hopped in the right line and was shocked at how fast it moved. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. Wild! The staff was super friendly, which made the experience even better. I will say when the staff arrived at our car, they never handed me a menu so I would be prepared to know what you want to order beforehand. I ordered two drinks: the Blondie with half sugar and the Typhoon (an energy drink). Personally, I didn't love the Blondie, it tasted more like straight milk to me and didn't really have much of a coffee kick. It might've been missing some espresso or maybe I just chose the wrong drink for my taste. The Typhoon, though, was really good! Very sweet, but delicious, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their energy drinks. I used to live in the area for college about 8 years ago, and this place definitely wasn't here back then so this is such a fun new addition! Overall, I'm glad I stopped by. Even with the long-looking line, the service was impressively quick, the staff was nice, and I think next time I'll try a different coffee or another energy drink
