Their coffees are massive sugar bombs
I wanted something sweet and their flavors seemed good and found the smallest size was 16oz

Let's be honest it's not coffee - it's dessert


The one I got when I went was like 10-15 calories, but I haven't been back because I have all the stuff at home plus stuff they don't have.

Sugar free chocolate syrup lined cup (0cal) + Cool Brew cold brew coffee (5cal) + sugar free vanilla syrup (0cal) + sugar free brown sugar cinnamon syrup (0cal) + 1oz Fairlife Core Power Chocolate Protein Shake (12cal) as my "cream".

Good to know - I legitimately didn't know they had reasonably caloric options
Don't get me wrong their stuff tastes really good, but I prefer not to drink my calories

Essen has been a disaster for decades, some coffee stand opening it up didn't just transform it over night. I used to live on essen and would get hungry and look at the clock and if it was noon or between 3-6pm, I would just grab a snack and wait. It wasn't worth taking 5 minutes to get food then sit in traffic for an hour letting it get cold.

My wife likes it. I find it annoying. In addition it just being a basically a milkshake masquerading as some sort of coffee drink, there is music blaring when you order and the kids working basically force you to engage in needless small talk. They must have a script to work from. Last time I went I was asked 4x by the same guy if "I had plans for the weekend". I finally got aggravated and said "nothing different than when you asked me that question 30 seconds ago."

7 Brew and Dutch Bros are in a death match for that title. I admit to some schadenfreude at Starbucks declining fortunes though.

Dutch Bros has MUCH better coffee than any other of these chains. They have good stuff.

Don’t expect to get a regular drip coffee at 7!Brew. They only have americano…

Based here in NW Arkansas

99% of the time if I want to buy coffee, it is to hang out a bit at a coffee shop, the whole drive thru premise sort of defeats the purpose.

Who goes to 7Brew for coffee? That's an energy drink franchise and I kinda like it. Twice the price of a Monster/Celsius/Redbull but pretty darn good.

It’s like that here in Bossier City. I fail to understand the drive thru coffee fad and its sudden rise. Now they’re about to open a “Dutch Bros” coffee shop.

I used to have to commute on Essen. It made us move. My condolences.
