“after finding me in the dumpster, instead of being afraid or warning me off the manager actually asked me if I needed something to eat. I was treated to an ever bowl and it was amazing. absolutely delicious. being a vegetarian, and not a very good one I don't really get nutrition like I should. Both workers were absolutely amazing, cheerful and had a wonderful attitude towards their fellow human being. I recommend this place greatly. thank you so much for the new food experience.“

“Delicious quality coffee!!“

“This is my favorite coffee shop. It’s a relaxing and friendly environment. I love to sit in front of the fireplace tv and relax to the coffee shop themed music.The vanilla lattes and mango smoothies are my favorite. I also enjoy the ham and egg croissants with a danish, DELICIOUS!! I recommend Coffee Republic.“

“7 Brew has become one of my favorite drink stops. While their coffee itself is solid and leans toward the familiar, big-brand coffee experience, what really sets them apart is their incredible variety of drink options and customization choices.

Their menu goes far beyond coffee, offering countless ways to create unique energy drinks, teas, lemonades, sodas, and other specialty beverages. If you're someone who likes trying new flavor combinations or building a drink that's completely your own, this is where 7 Brew truly shines.

The staff are consistently wonderful, friendly, and energetic. Every visit feels welcoming, and they always seem genuinely happy to help with recommendations or custom creations. Their positive attitude and customer service make the experience just as enjoyable as the drinks themselves.

If you're looking for more than just a standard coffee shop, 7 Brew is definitely worth a visit.“

“Usually go to the Collins rd location, stopped on my way home from work here to get the wife’s job coffee, after completing a huge order I go to leave and a employee chased me down because I forgot 2 drinks, totally not expecting it and sooooo appreciative, staff went way above and beyond to make sure the order was correct, well done guys!“

“I love this store! They are very friendly, and the gentleman who helped me today even knew my name and carried over my coffee to me which was thoughtful. Another lady who usually works the drive through is always on top of it and very kind/patient. Coffee is consistently delicious here!“

“The chicken salad sandwich is the best I have ever had. Everyone who has tried it, loves it and talks about it.“

“I just dropped in to Cedar Rapids Nutrition to ask for a piece of tape (different story 😊). The associate was so friendly and helpful that I turned around and went right back in. First of all, it smells wonderful in this little shop - It’s also warm, inviting, clean and comfortable! The menu boards are perfect - easy to read and understand all their choices for teas, coffees and shakes! The little seating area has a comfy couch for those that choose to dine in. I love the beautiful Christmas tree.
I asked a few questions about the teas and for a recommendation and decided on a protein shake. I love chocolate and caramel and enjoyed every drop of my chocolate salted caramel shake! Thank you and I’ll be back!

Parking: Found a spot just outside.

Kid-friendliness: The associate was very helpful and answered all my questions about their options. They have options without the energy boost for kids!“

“A great pick me up with awesome service!“

“if ur looking for an internet cafe this is a good place for gamers, free internet, lots of receptacles to charge your stuff, and laundy room next door if u got stains. lots of seats & tables if u wanna doomscroll reddit or linkedin due to the tech market collapse. only downside is they were playing The Weeknd Starboy, a song about lucifer.“

“When you are a regular, as I am, you are loved and treated with nothing but respect. Sure, there's usually a wait, and long drive thru times but... Why do you think that is? Because it's worth it. Cannot say enough good about the management and staff at this location. #fantastic“
