I first heard about this coffee shop from a coworker. Their coffee is, quite literally, the best…read morecoffee I've ever had. I'd genuinely love to know which local roasters they source their beans from. What stands out most is how smooth the coffee is--there's absolutely no bitter aftertaste. Their honey brown sugar latte deserves special recognition. So many honey lattes either taste overly artificial or like the honey is barely there at all. Not this one. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and it's honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. I could drink gallons of it. The quality is fantastic and I've found myself thinking about that latte long after I've finished it. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. If I did, I'd probably be there every day.

What a neat little coffee shop! We stopped in in need of some caffeine this morning and were not…read moredisappointed! We ordered an iced mocha latte and iced snickerdoodle latte. The snickerdoodle was perfectly spiced and still had some coffee flavor. The mocha was delicious, certainly an occasional treat as it is more of a coffee milkshake than a coffee. We also ordered the mini apple cider donuts which were okay, they seemed to be plain donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar and the dough had a funny aftertaste. Overall they have a killer menu and a cute & homey sitting area and patio. With so many coffee and caffeine drinks to try- we'll be back!

My husband and I have been here 5 or 6 times, maybe more since discovering the place…read more Today we tried the Delight Flight- entirely lovely. The cold brew itself is smooth and fabulous. The mini lattes were creamy and perfectly sweet, without being cloyingly so. I can't wait to go back to try the other flights.

It's a place that feels like a big chain, but it's just very modern and techie that makes good coffee. My kids loved getting the hot chocolate flight and I enjoyed my Halloween themed coffee flight as well. My husband got the pistachio latte and really enjoyed it, and both of us liked our scones. The only thing that really really threw me off was opening the door and instantly being hit by a wave of something that smelled like a hairdresser's place. I don't think I've ever been to a coffee shop with decent coffee that didn't smell like really good coffee. I don't know if it's the spaces nearby (it's in a strip) or the fact that it's a workspace and so the smell dissipates, but it was very offputting to have that smell in a coffee shop. Other than that, it was a great experience.

The place is immaculate and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats! You will not be disappointed!

I wanted to try several things on the menu, but decided on an iced latte with marshmallow. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I thought it tasted alright, not the best drink I've ever had but not the worst. The barista was friendly and I signed up for their rewards program with my phone number. Hoping to come back and try another drink!

I just wish I could sign into my account from DoorDash when ordering so I don't miss out on my points!

Alyssa was one of the people assisting me and she was very kind & even gave my daughter some goodies since it was our first time there! My daughter really appreciated that. The campfire cocoa is actually really nice, temperature was perfect for my daughter. I ended up getting an iced coffee with butter pecan as a flavor add-in & it was really good! Definitely will be coming here again. We'll try to walk in too so that my daughter can take her time deciding on something to eat as well.

I genuinely don't understand the hype around 7 Brew. We pulled up and there wasn't a menu anywhere…read moreto look at. Before even asking what we'd like, the employee walked up and immediately asked for our phone number, which felt odd when we hadn't even decided if we wanted anything yet. When we asked to see a menu, instead of providing one, she rattled off a few "popular drinks." We ended up having to pull out our phones and search for the menu ourselves while sitting in the drive-thru. I ordered a cold brew and it was honestly one of the worst coffees I've ever had. It tasted like plain black iced coffee with some syrup mixed in... no smooth cold brew flavor at all. To make matters worse, the price was basically the same as Starbucks. Between the confusing ordering process, the push for personal information, the lack of a visible menu, and the disappointing coffee, I don't see any reason to come back.

I visited the Clive location on Father's Day and was very disappointed with the experience…read more First, they were completely out of decaf coffee, which was frustrating since I do not drink caffeine. Second, there was a Father's Day promotion for a specialty koozie, but we were told at the window that we could not receive it because we only ordered one drink--even though we were there specifically for the promotion and intended to order more items. Finally, the service felt disorganized. The staff appeared more focused on socializing with each other than on customers, which impacted the overall experience and efficiency of service. Overall, this visit did not meet expectations in terms of product availability, clarity of promotions, or customer service.

OMG, this place is in such a nice area! They have a huge menu with so many amazing options to…read morechoose from. I ordered the Pit Master Sandwich with a side of French onion soup (you get to choose a side with the sandwich). The sandwich was really good! The bread was buttery and soft, and the homemade croutons in the soup were clearly made from fresh bread. The French onion soup wasn't for me--it kind of tasted like acid reflux to me, so I gave it to my mom. She actually thought it was pretty good. The sandwich had perfectly balanced barbecue sauce and cheese, although I thought the barbecue sauce overpowered the cheese a bit. Next time, I'd probably order it without the cheese. The brisket was good, but I would've preferred a fattier cut because I think it would have been more flavorful. I also wasn't a fan of the Gouda since it didn't melt very well, but the other cheese on the sandwich was delicious. Overall, the food was incredible, and this place is an absolute MUST if you're in the area! I noticed they have around 78,000 DoorDash orders, and after eating here, I can definitely see why. I'll actually be coming back in a few days before I leave my vacation because there are so many other delicious items on the menu that I can't wait to try! Staff were also nice!

They have a celiac button to warn staff to be extra careful and even have gluten sensitive desserts including: cookies, donuts, scones, and slices of cake everyday. I will say I am disappointed about finding out the breakfast potatoes are not gluten free. I only recently found out and have now figured out that I have been glutening myself off and on since July 3rd. I did have one major screwup a few weeks ago too. I did a pickup order for the quinoa powerbowl. The cook substituted my quinoa for couscous even though my food was marked celiac. Only figured it out after taking a bite. Couscous is apparently new to the fall menu. I really wish the food allergen training was better done in staff training. No person seems to have the same training on the safety and what food allergens are in what food. This was what I thought was a safe place for me which is why I have continued to come. I now take extra caution when I do stop. Today was good. I grabbed a Baja chicken rice bowl, no pepper jack or ranch. They actually had cinnamon roll cake (looked more like coffee cake with frosting on top) which is a first for them, it was really good. My mom grabbed a grilled cheese and her all time favorite carmalita bar.

My server was Sue, and she was very good, and very attentive - always had my coffee warmed up when needed and had some good recommendations on what to eat. The food itself was really good. I had the avocado toast, which comes with a basted egg and avocado cream drizzle on top, and your choice or meat (if any) and I chose the brisket! I learned from a local sitting next to my friend and I that they get the brisket from a local bbq joint, which I thought was pretty cool. Good coffee, good vibes, good service!
