7 Brew Coffee — Restaurant in Mount Vernon

How sweet and salty it is.

During a weekend out of town, my only stipulation was to try a coffeehouse going down and coming back. What are the odds of picking not one but two drive-thru only places after avoiding them for 12 years of traveling? The other being Scooter's Coffee on the way down to Shawnee National Forest.

I typically avoid drive thru coffeehouses due to my desire to experience the vibe of ordering my coffee and enjoying it in the seating area. But, here we are and I am glad we stopped here. I didn't see my usual go-to of an Americano on the menu so I grabbed the Sweet & Salty, which is one of their signature drinks. A young lady took our order in line and we drove up to a waiting canopy for our drinks to come out. When the lady who brought our drinks out rattled off the drinks she was handling us, she handed me a Blondie. It took me a second to realize what she said but we were already heading next door for breakfast. I said "whatever, I am drinking it and enjoying it regardless'.

Luckily it was the Sweet & Salty and the barista just said the wrong thing. Because let me tell you what... that mix of sweet and salty hit just right after a day of driving, hiking, and drinking. I don't typically get sweet drinks anymore as I near my 40s but this was a nice break from my bitter espresso drinks.... which is what Emily actually got this time around.

I'm actually craving this drink as I type this up with an Americano in front of me. 7 Brew may have had a weird way of ordering drinks (to me) but it's...

I ordered a large cinnamon roll frappee with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle with an expresso shot woman said okay had it all written and charged up just to have to keep sending it back after just whipped cream and trying to get their attention for it still being incorrect and send it back again to get the chocolate drizzle an yet still not paying attention they were too busy in between talking about anything and everything joking around not focusing on the order that should of been done correctly the first time/second time it was sent back. An all passing it to the next person to return the item correctly finally. I am unhappy with this service for the first time I've visited here. At least Starbucks can get it right...

The coffee was great. The workers were for the most part fairly friendly. The price was fair for a drive through coffee. We order two coffees for about seven bucks. I believe that that is more than reasonable. You can tell the workers were moving quickly, but overall the four-star rating is based on the fact that it did take us longer than we thought it would to get through. It’s not that there was a unreasonably or unmanageable line of vehicles. It just seemed like it took longer than what we would have expected. Again, high-quality drinks. Great taste. Friendly workers. The workers were moving, but it just took longer than what we...
