Waveland, Mississippi recently welcomed the newest location of 7 Brew, a drive-thru coffee chain well-known for its unique coffee flavors and marketing aimed at Gen Z consumers.

A standout feature of 7 Brew is its customer-oriented approach.

This ethos encourages employees to interact with customers, asking questions and offering extensive customization options for drinks, which is particularly appealing to those who enjoy sweet, personalized coffee creations.
Among the popular drink options available are the “Blondie,” a breve espresso drink, and a variety of flavored beverages catered to the sweet tooth. This focus on customization reflects the current trend in consumer preferences toward personalized experiences.
