Price was good as my size medium (maybe 20 oz) was only $5.
Only bad thing was, there was a good bit of a line at the drive thru. The service definitely could have been faster, but it wasn’t unbearable and I’d say it was still worth it. One little tip, from a barista to another coffee shop, maybe stop asking for phone numbers before the order is taken, if you can… I feel like it kind of rubs customers the wrong way. But that could just be me!
Communication between workers could stand to improve as well, but I am still giving 5 stars because the coffees are so freaking good!!!
I arrived around 6:40 PM and waited in the drive-thru for nearly an hour as the line moved very slowly. When I finally approached the ordering area, my vehicle was skipped entirely. The employee taking orders moved on to 10–15 cars behind me and went inside without acknowledging me, despite my attempts to get her attention.
I had to drive to the register area to place my order. The employee there appeared surprised that my order had not been taken and went inside to investigate. I was told that the order taker’s iPad was not working, however, she continued taking orders from vehicles behind me. No apology or explanation was offered.
I was finally able to place my order and receive my drink around 7:38 PM—nearly an hour after arriving. By that point, the experience had become frustrating and discouraging. Many customers in line appeared to be waiting over an hour as well, with no clear communication or option to exit.
In addition to this incident, I have noticed a decline in both customer service and drink consistency over the past year. Ordering the same drink regularly now results in noticeably different quality each time, which was not previously the case.
My family and I travel about 30 minutes to visit this location, and it has always been a special treat for us. As someone with experience in the coffee industry, I understand that busy shifts can be stressful. However, clear communication, accountability, and professionalism are essential in those moments.
Until improvements are made, I will be visiting other locations instead. I hope management reviews this experience and takes steps to improve service, consistency, and customer communication. This location was once my favorite, and I genuinely hope it can return to that standard.
The other locations we go to on vacation throughout the year the staff are notoriously over-the-top kind. So that not being the case here is disappointing! Kudos to the few staff members we’ve had great experiences with here!!
I find the behavior of the barista very unprofessional, I understand food service/barista jobs can be stressful as I have worked both in the past. But never once have I talked crap about customers when their drink was not made correctly whether it was my fault for making the wrong drink, or theirs for not ordering the correct thing. Because as humans we are bound to make mistakes, human error is real. I think training should be held for that barista for customer service expectations or if they are going to talk crap about customers, how about don’t yell about it when I’m like 5 feet from you!
To the other workers there today, thank you for being respectful and understanding. As I was taking blame for my mistakes in ordering. I will continue to go to this location as I enjoy their coffee and atmosphere. I just did not appreciate how I was treated today. Hopefully the baristas will gain knowledge of how to treat costumers.
Since the management change, the overall experience has gone downhill. Customer service from some of the newer baristas has been poor, and the new manager often seems disengaged—I frequently see him playing around rather than actively helping his team during busy times. On one occasion, a manager even expressed frustration to me about how overwhelmed things were, which was uncomfortable as a customer.
I can’t help but compare this to the previous manager, who was always present and supportive—bringing out cold towels during hot days, coats when it rained, and stepping in to help whenever needed. The difference is noticeable. The baristas now often seem stressed and frustrated, which reflects larger issues with leadership and support.
I will continue coming because of the baristas I genuinely care about, but something needs to change. This store has so much potential, and I hope management takes this feedback seriously
Given that multiple employees were present, this experience felt unprofessional and inefficient. I value Seven Brew and expect a reasonable level of customer service, especially when staff availability does not appear to be an issue. I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that it can be addressed moving forward.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
