The drink
What Is the 7 Brew Blondie?
Quick answer: The 7 Brew Blondie is a breve with vanilla and caramel. That means it is espresso mixed with half-and-half, vanilla syrup and caramel syrup. It is one of the 7 Originals and the drink 7 Brew is best known for.
The Blondie tastes like a sweet caramel latte, only richer and creamier. The half-and-half gives it a thick, smooth feel. Vanilla softens the coffee, and caramel adds a buttery sweetness. Most people order it iced, but it is also great hot or frozen. If you are new to 7 Brew, the 7 Brew Blondie is the best place to start.
The name comes from its light, golden color, which matches its twin, the Brunette. The Brunette is a mocha with hazelnut and caramel, so it is darker. Both share the same espresso and caffeine. You can read about the other house drinks in our 7 Originals guide. The Blondie is also on the cold brew menu as a Blondie Cold Brew.
Ingredients
What Is in a 7 Brew Blondie?
So, what is in a 7 Brew Blondie? It uses only a few simple ingredients. This is part of why it tastes so clean and sweet. 7 Brew uses Torani syrups, according to Tasting Table. Here is what goes into one:
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Espresso | Gives the coffee flavor and caffeine |
| Half-and-half (breve) | Makes it thick and creamy |
| Vanilla syrup | Adds soft sweetness |
| Caramel syrup | Adds buttery caramel flavor |
| Ice | Keeps the iced version cold |
The Blondie contains milk because of the half-and-half. You can swap in oat, almond or coconut milk for free, but then it is no longer a true breve. The 7 Brew support page also says caramel is not plant-based, so a vegan Blondie is not possible. Ask for the allergen chart at your stand if you have food allergies. Our nutrition guide has more details.
