Very new drive through coffee, tea, smoothie and shakes place. I was here on Grand open day, 11/19/2022. They called it Swag Day. There were two lanes for drive thru, and it was backed up!. Yet things ran smoothly! The Brew Crew, had their swag going. Orders being taken, before you got to the window. I up grade to a large Chai Latte and received a free t-shirt. My drink was spot one too. They had crew team members running to get your t-shirt and crew team bring out drinks to cars. The owners were right there with them. Very cool place. 😎
As much as I want to like this place, there are some factors that are making it unfortunately very difficult to.
- Service, luckily, is very quick, no problem there.
- The beverages themselves are good too, no problem there.
However, the issues;
- There is consistently music blaring at unnecessarily loud volumes. It's sometimes hard to hear them, and I'd hate to be here if I had a headache.
- This has only happened on my 2nd visit, but they absolutely flood the cups with ice. I get it, this is a common tactic to save money, but nearly 90% of my cup was purely ice. Wouldn't be so bad if the price wasn't $7.
- Lastly, while this isn't really location specific, it's extremely difficult to find their full menu. Sure, they have a menu online, but it does not show every option, nor does it show their prices. And, with this format of drive-thru, it'd be nice to have that easily accessible showing every option and detail.
I've been here several times since they've opened! I like my drinks sweet so it's great for me. For those who don't, you can customize your orders to make them less sweet or have less ice, etc. Yes, the music is loud but not loud enough you cannot order. I personally think it's a great touch and they have a great music selection Every staff member is friendly and respectful. They will have engaged conversations with you. They all seem to love their jobs so far too.
I find myself driving to Ankeny past may other coffee shops just to try their German Chocolate. It is so smooth. I prefer black coffee but this drink is so good I am spending 3 times the amount I should for my coffee. Make sure to tip your server as they are outside taking care of each customer no matter the weather. They do a great job of striking up conversation while you wait for your coffee to be made.
This is the best place for a pick me up coffee stop. Workers are always nice and talk with you. Very fast service with such a great cup of coffee. Triple 7 is amazing give it a try.
7 brew is my new favorite coffee shop! I drive from Altoona every Saturday morning (and occasionally on weekdays) because it’s just that good! The employees are so sweet, and the coffee is always fabulous. My go to has been the cinnamon roll blondie lately, but the smooth seven(with an absurd amount of espresso shots) can get me through any long day. As a former Starbucks regular, I think it’s well worth the extra drive time, and after telling the employees how I wished they had a location closer to me, they informed me that they plan to expand all across the metro!
Went to 7Brew for the first time this morning. The service was great! All the staff are super sweet. We asked for recommendations and they did not disappoint. I got the cinnamon roll and my husband got the white chocolate mocha, both iced. They are both delicious! This morning they had a BOGO deal and the staff were all dressed up and had fun music playing. We will definitely be back!
I am going to give 7 Brew FIVE STARS. Understanding that this is not Starbucks, 7 Brew's first goal is customer service, which sometimes means you have a long line of customers. Also they menu is very easy and great. Have not tried anything other than coffee which is fine with me cause that is what I go there for.
They have so many good flavors and also offer sugar-free options on all of their signature drinks. The staff members are always so friendly & genuine and start a conversation every time you are here. Sometimes they do crank up the music in the afternoon but I like it because it is a fun atmosphere.

Overall poor experience.
#1 complaint - Kids Italian soda was clear full of ice. My kid finished within 10 seconds of leaving.
#2 - staff was overly obnoxious. Very much in your face.
#3 - Blondie is very bland.
#4 - (only positive) - Blended Cinnamon Roll was tasty. Not nearly as good as any blended drink I've tried at Ziggi's in Ankeny, but overall decent.
Would not recommend.
