How to Order at 7 Brew: Drive-Thru, App & Customization Guide
7 Brew works differently from most coffee chains: it is drive-thru only, a brewista walks up to your car to take your order, and nearly every drink can be customized. Here is how to order with confidence.
Step by Step: Ordering at the Drive-Thru
- Pull into either lane. Many stands run two lanes to keep the line moving.
- A brewista comes to your window with a tablet — this is the time to ask questions.
- Say size + temperature + drink: “Medium iced Blondie.”
- Add customizations: sweetness, milk, topping, drizzle (see below).
- Give your phone number to earn Rewards points.
- Pay and pick up at the window.
Ordering in the 7 Brew App
- Download the free app (App Store or Google Play) and create an account.
- Choose your stand — the menu shows what is available there.
- Place one order at a time during the stand’s hours.
- You pay at the drive-thru when a brewista checks you in.
- To change an order, cancel it and place a new one.
