If you’ve ever pulled up to a 7 Brew stand and frozen at the window, you’re not alone. With more than 20,000 possible combinations on the 7 Brew menu, knowing how to order 7 Brew like a regular is half the battle. This 2026 guide walks you through the entire flow — from the drive-thru greeting to the final hand-off — so you can order with confidence on your very first visit.
How to Order 7 Brew in 5 Quick Steps
The fastest way to order at any 7 Brew stand is to follow the same five-step pattern every regular uses:
- Pick a base — coffee, energy, smoothie, fizz, shake, tea, lemonade or chiller.
- Pick a size — Kiddo, Small, Medium, Large or 7 (XL). See the full 7 Brew sizes guide.
- Pick hot, iced or blended — most coffee and energy drinks come all three ways.
- Add flavors — up to four pumps from the flavor list.
- Add cream or topping — sweet cream, cold foam, whip, or drizzle.
Step 1: Know the 7 Brew Drink Categories
Every 7 Brew Brewista is trained on the same core menu. Once you know the seven main categories, ordering becomes simple:
- Coffee & Espresso — lattes, breves, mochas, cold brew. View coffee menu
- Energy Drinks — custom Red Bull infusions and 7 Energy mixers. See the best energy drinks
- Smoothies — real-fruit blended drinks, no caffeine.
- Shakes & Blondies — frozen, dessert-style drinks. See every shake flavor
- Fizz — sparkling Italian-soda style drinks. See fizz flavors
- Tea & Lemonade — sweet, unsweet, fruit-infused.
- Seasonal & Holiday — limited drinks like Holiday Punch and other seasonal flavors.
Step 2: How to Order 7 Brew Sizes Correctly
7 Brew uses unique size names that confuse first-timers. Here’s the cheat sheet:
- Kiddo — 12 oz, kid-sized.
- Small — 16 oz.
- Medium — 20 oz (the most popular size).
- Large — 24 oz.
- 7 — 32 oz, the biggest cup on the menu.
If you’re new, ask for a Medium. It’s the perfect size to test flavor balance without committing to a 32 oz drink you may not love.
Step 3: Customize Without Confusing Your Brewista
Customization is where 7 Brew shines, but it’s also where new customers stumble. Stick to this script and your Brewista will love you:
“Can I get a [size] [drink name], [hot/iced/blended], with [flavor 1] and [flavor 2], plus [cream/topping]?”
Example: “Medium Smooth 7, iced, with vanilla and caramel, sweet cream on top.”
Avoid stacking more than three flavors — it muddies the taste. Two pumps of one flavor and two of another is the sweet spot used by most regulars.
Pro Tip: Sub the Milk
7 Brew offers whole, 2%, oat, almond, coconut and breve (half & half) for almost any drink. Subbing oat or breve in a Blondie completely changes the texture — try it.
Step 4: Use the Secret Menu Like a Pro
Once you’ve nailed the regular menu, the next step is the 7 Brew secret menu. There are 20+ off-menu drinks created by Brewistas and superfans. You can also download the printable secret menu PDF to bring with you.
Top three secret drinks to try first:
- German Chocolate — chocolate, coconut, caramel breve.
- Pink Mermaid — strawberry-coconut energy fizz.
- Smooth 7 — vanilla-caramel breve, the gateway drink.
Step 5: Pay, Tip and Pull Forward
7 Brew accepts cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and the 7 Brew app. If you’re paying with the app, open it before you reach the window — Brewistas appreciate a quick scan.
Tipping is optional but expected at most stands. $1–2 per drink is standard.
Bonus: Earn Rewards While You Order

How to Order 7 Brew at the Drive-Thru: Final Tips
- Pull all the way forward — most stands have two service windows.
- Roll your window down before the Brewista approaches.
- Have your order ready; the line moves fast.
- If you’re stuck, just say “What’s your favorite?” — every Brewista has a personal pick.
Now that you know exactly how to order 7 Brew, the only thing left is to pull up to the window. Start with a Medium Blondie if you like sweet drinks, or a Black Mamba energy if you need a kick. Welcome to the 7 Brew family.
