Swag Day Celebrations
In addition to the charitable efforts, the grand opening featured what they called “Swag Day.” Customers who popped into the drive-thru and purchased a large drink on Saturday were treated to a stylish 7 Brew T-shirt. Who doesn’t love a little fashion with their caffeine fix? It’s an innovative way to engage customers while creating buzz around the new location.
Limitless Drink Options
Coffee enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that 7 Brew boasts an impressive menu with over 20,000 drink combinations. Imagine the excitement of choosing from their seven original flavors: Blondie, Brunette, Smooth 7, Cinnamon Roll, White Chocolate Mocha, German Chocolate, and Sweet and Salty. Not to mention, there are plenty of classic brews, lattes, energy drinks, smoothies, shakes, and flavored sparkling waters to please every palate.
A Drive-Thru Experience Like No Other
This unique drive-thru experience features two lanes, where employees are armed with tablets to take orders efficiently, ensuring that you get your coffee fix without long waits. During the soft opening last week, eager customers lined up for free small drinks, which led to quite a buzz around the new spot.

A Growing Presence in Alabama
The Chelsea opening marks the 22nd location for 7 Brew Coffee in Alabama and the sixth in the Birmingham metro area.

Their first location initially opened in Rogers, Arkansas, back in 2017, and since then, the brand has steadily made its mark in communities across the region.
In addition to the Chelsea location, 7 Brew stands are already present in Alabaster and Calera, with an exciting fourth location planned for Helena. Interestingly, a Taco Bell is also in the works near the new 7 Brew location, demonstrating the shared ownership and ambitions of both fast-food and coffee chain.
