7 Brew Guides
How to order, what to customise, and how to get the drink you actually want — across 217 drinks and 846 stands in 38 states. Most guides are about the small print (what the baristas can and will not do), because that is where most first-timers get stuck.
Four worth knowing before you order
The guides below all come back to the same handful of drinks. These four are the ones that turn up in every answer.
Every 7 Brew order is four decisions: base, size, flavour and sweetness. Learn those and you can rebuild anything on the board — and most of what is not on it. The guides below cover the levers in detail, plus the dietary and value questions.
