They're a good company. Mostly expresso based drinks but have a drip option. I met the family that owns them and they are Oregon transplants that relocated to NWA due to political leanings.

SB is still in BR but has heavily pulled back due to CCs and PJs doing good here.

Does anyone know if 7 Brew does breakfast/biscuits/burritos? That area between OLOL and BRG has a huge need for a quick breakfast place*

Essen really isn't that bad anymore usually since they widened it. Bluebonnet is worse now.

They have them in Arkansas. I don't drink coffee but my gf (no pics) does. It's like the chick fi LA of coffee. They're printing money with it.

They are about to widen Bluebonnet between Blue Cross Parkway and Perkins. Going to suck while they do it, but it's going to be nice once complete.

Didn’t they have one at LSU? Very overpriced.
It was open around 2012 when I was still there, on the lower floor next to McDonald's, the sitting area, and the Billiards room. Everything was severely overpriced. I remember spending $10 for a small coffee and and a breakfast sandwich (this was 2010-12 mind you when everything was at least 35% cheaper). It was popular with the sorority girls who worked at the SG and Greek Life offices.

This is not remotely true.


Actually it is.

Baton Rouge is a test market city because the area demographics resemble the rest of the country as a whole.

I remember it being one in the early-mid 80s.

Less so after the oil bust in the mid-late 80s that just utterly wrecked the state and local economy.

That's why BR gets things like Top Golf, Trader Joe's, and Fresh Market before New Orleans does. Unfortunately that means it also gets Jack in the Box too.

Wut? The rest of the country turned 53% Black without me knowing?

There isn’t a single metric where BR is similar to the entire USA: US Census Bureau

Never said city-

I said area.

Metro is nowhere near 53% black.

And yes it absolutely is a test city.

As someone else mentioned, this is why Baton Rouge has a bigger variety of chain restaurants.
