The homemade coffee syrups are really good and I also love that they have some on site to purchase to use in your coffee at home! They also always have really unique latte specials that are unlike anywhere else. They have excellent baked goods and I can't help getting one every time! It is small inside and can get busy but it is a very special place and it's easy to see why it is so loved.

The menu is extensive because it includes so many combinations. It even includes energy drinks. I immediately noted that prices are certainly better than Starbucks. The options for coffees and teas are greater than at Starbucks or Dunkin'. I decided on-- Hot: The Cappuccino was prepared nicely and tasted like those made at restaurants. Cold: The Georgia Peach Tea was incredibly flavorful. Five Stars for these drinks. Drive thru was quick and convenient. The staff is helpful and patient as you decide on your order. I will return to try more beverages if I am in mood for more than my boring Go To Dunkin' Decaf Coffee. They advertise-- "7 Brew Coffee differentiates itself through a high-speed, drive-thru-only model focusing on extreme customization, offering over 20,000 combinations of coffee, energy drinks, and teas. Key differences include personalized service from "Brewistas," a focus on sweet, dessert-like drinks, and competitive pricing for larger drink sizes compared to chains like Starbucks."

Sadly mochi by the time I got to it was slightly melted but thats okay I still ate them it was my fault for being obsessed with the coconut buns I reaally liked those. Also really liked the fact the Bubble tea was customizable, I had been craving a good tea I hadn't had accessibility to for sometime. Pricey... eh probably not I ordered alot, surprised it came in a pretty nice bag, got here in good time. Would I order again? Oh I think there are quite a few items I'd like to get again.

Big fan of the quad iced lattes. They have a loyalty card thing like a milk card where if you get enough stamps you get a free coffee. So thats cool. Ive never had the bobo tea before this place. While i wasnt a fan it tasted ok it just wasnt for me. They make it all like fresh right there so if you like the bobo stuff im sure its good if you like that stuff.

You can also spend some time perusing their wide selection of books. It took me a while to decide on what to get since they offer coffee and bubble tea, both of which I love. I decided on the strawberry matcha latte bubble tea with almond milk, traditional boba and Passion Fruit boba. It was absolutely incredible! The strawberry tasted like real strawberries instead of fake syrup. The matcha was also great quality too! I'm truly still dreaming about this drink and I cannot wait to go back and try more things, including their coffee drinks.

Ancient grain salad: very good cold salad with assortment of healthy ingredients like pumpkin seeds & cranberries Hot tea: only one option which was earl grey; high quality but would like plain black as an option.

The sweets available looked great, so it was hard to select. I chose a Blueberry Scone for myself and a Danish for my husband. The scone was crumbly, buttery tasting, and full of blueberries. The Danish was flaky and so freshly made. Both delicious treats were packaged nicely for takeout. Service is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The owner was present and gracious.
