New to 7 Brew and not sure where to start? These are the 7 Brew drinks to try first — beginner-approved, easy to order, and impossible to mess up. Whether you like coffee, energy or fruit-forward drinks, this top-10 covers the full spectrum of the 7 Brew menu.
How We Picked the Top 10 7 Brew Drinks to Try
The list weighs three things: universal appeal (would 8/10 first-timers love it?), signature factor (does it represent the brand?) and order ease (no complicated builds). Here’s the lineup.
Top 10 7 Brew Drinks to Try First
1. Blondie
The signature 7 Brew drink — a frozen vanilla-caramel breve blended with ice. Sweet, creamy, caffeinated. Try a Medium iced if you’ve never had one. See the Blondie page for variations.
2. Smooth 7
Vanilla + caramel breve, smooth as the name suggests. The “gateway drink” recommended to anyone trying 7 Brew for the first time.
3. German Chocolate Latte
Chocolate, coconut, caramel — tastes like German chocolate cake in a cup. Great hot or iced.
4. Pink Mermaid Fizz
Strawberry-coconut sparkling fizz. Zero caffeine, all flavor. Bookmark our 7 Brew Fizz guide if you love it.
5. Black Mamba Energy
Blackberry-raspberry energy with cream. The bestseller and #1 on our best energy drinks ranking.
6. Cookies & Cream Shake
Crushed Oreos blended into the vanilla shake base. The dessert pick. See more on the 7 Brew shakes guide.
7. Honey Bun Breve
Cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla breve. Tastes like a hot honey bun in liquid form.
8. Banana Bread Blondie
Banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg blended Blondie. Fall-leaning but available year-round.
9. Holiday Punch (Seasonal)
Cranberry-pomegranate sparkling fizz. Available November–January. Recipe available in our copycat Holiday Punch guide.
10. Sweet and Salty Latte
Caramel, sea salt, chocolate. Genius flavor balance — sweet, salty, rich, not cloying.
