7 Brew Coffee — Restaurant in Mauldin

CAUTION: 7 Brew on Woodruff Road Will Have You in a Loving, Committed Relationship with Your Cup!

Listen. I don’t know what’s in these drinks — fairy dust? secret joy juice? the whispers of espresso angels?? — but 7 Brew is officially part of my daily routine, personality, and possibly my love language.

This is day three in a row. I should be embarrassed. I should be asking for help. But instead, I’m ordering a large iced Blondie with toasted marshmallow and extra sweet like it’s my full-time job — and baby, I do it WELL.

I have two-year-old twin boys, it’s hotter than Satan’s driveway outside, and this drink? This drink is how I cope, thrive, and sparkle in public. It’s cold. It’s creamy. It’s so good it makes me want to text my ex just to say, “You missed out.”

Now let’s talk about the real MVPs: the staff. These young legends are out here in 95-degree heat smiling, taking orders, making magic, and redoing drinks without even blinking. I watched them remake a whole drink for a picky customer with a smile. No shade. No sass. Just good energy and iced blessings. Like??? WHO RAISED Y’ALL?? Give them a raise AND a crown.

And don’t sleep on the menu. It’s not just iced coffee — it’s a drink kingdom. They got frizzies, lemonades, frozen things, hot things, energizers… I halfway expected to see “Potion of Unlimited Confidence” on there. Every drink I’ve tried has been delicious, and I say that as someone who takes beverage joy very seriously.

I’m currently sipping mine while writing this review like a loyal fan writing a love letter. I know I’ll be back tomorrow. I’m already plotting my next order. Probably with a side of joy and a sprinkle of self-care.

So if you’re anywhere near Woodruff Road and you haven’t stopped at 7 Brew yet… what are you doing?! Treat yourself, support the kindest crew in town, and experience the drink that might...

I’m giving five stars even though this isn’t necessarily a positive review, I’ve been many many times to this 7 brew location and I have to say the service is normally always on point and I love the coffee and speed of the line. However I went on saturday around like 2 and had probably one of the worst customer service interactions I’ve ever had. He may have been new or from a different location working at the woodruff one, I am a regular customer and had never seen him before. It felt like he was angry at us just for being there. He kept interrupting me when I was trying to order and rolled his eyes at me, my friend ordered a mocha with banana and he said “so the banana bread?” In a very condescending tone acting as if she was an idiot for not knowing that’s what it’s called, with a very rude expression on his face. I love this 7 brew and I know that just one one star review can dramatically make the rating for a place go down so out of respect for all of the other workers there I give 5 stars, however I really think this one barista needs an attitude change. Most of the people who work here are kind and I will continue to always tip generously when I go because I’m a server and i understand the importance of service work, and that they all split tips, but it seriously hurt my feelings to be treated that way by someone when we hadn’t done anything wrong, maybe it was annoying that we had 2 separate orders I get that, but you don’t need to treat people like...

I am glad I learned of this place and decided to try!! They have so many beverage options from coffee to tea, smoothies, shakes, flavored sparkling water, and even their own energy drinks. They also have about 30 flavored syrups and sauces to customize your drink… I had an Iced Mocha with Dark Chocolate and a hint of Peppermint and it was delicious! In terms of price, for what you get, it is less expensive than Starbucks and more expensive than Dunkin’. It is a drive-thru coffee stand, so they don’t have a dining area but it is in a parking lot so if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee in your car you may find a parking space nearby.

The staff left an excellent impression too. I mentioned I didn’t have my phone number registered as I was just stopping through from out-of-state for an energy boost on my way back and the team member struck up a small conversation with me and mentioned a 7 Brew was coming soon to where I live (I checked online and it is true!) This showed me the employees know about the business beyond their individual role and care about keeping their customers informed and feeling valued.

Normally, I am the kind of person to prefer sit-down coffee shops to drive-thru stands but 7 Brew left a positive impression on me. I will definitely remember my first experience here and be on the lookout for when they come to my neck...
