First Time Visiting 7 Brew Coffee in Rio Grande New Jersey
For the first time ever, I finally checked out 7 Brew Coffee, and my visit took me to the Rio Grande New Jersey location in Cape May County.
With 7 Brew expanding rapidly across the country and gaining a reputation for fast service and an upbeat atmosphere, I wanted to see firsthand what the experience was really like and whether the hype was justified.
I filmed the visit as a full YouTube video, capturing everything from ordering to receiving the drinks, to give viewers an authentic look at what first time customers can expect.
This location has only been officially open for two weeks and was only open for a few days at the time that I filmed this video.
You can watch that video at the bottom of this article.
What Is 7 Brew Coffee
7 Brew Coffee is a drive thru focused coffee chain that has been growing quickly across the United States.
Unlike traditional coffee shops, there is no indoor seating. The entire concept revolves around speed, friendliness, and convenience.
Customers drive up, place their order with a highly energetic staff member, and receive their drinks within minutes.
The menu extends far beyond basic coffee, offering flavored coffees, energy drinks, teas, lemonades, smoothies, and seasonal specialties.
This broad menu is a big part of why so many people compare 7 Brew to chains like Starbucks and Dutch Bros.
The Rio Grande New Jersey Location
The Rio Grande 7 Brew is especially notable because it serves a busy South Jersey area near shore towns and seasonal traffic.
During my visit, the location was clearly designed for efficiency, with multiple drive thru lanes and staff members taking orders outside. Even with steady traffic, the operation felt smooth and organized.

The energy from the employees immediately stood out. They were happy to be there and explain the menu in detail. Which if you don’t know, there is an infinite amount of options you can choose from.
From the greeting to the ordering process, the interaction felt more personal and upbeat than what you often experience at larger coffee chains.
Ordering and First Impressions
As a first time customer, the menu can feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of options.
The staff was helpful and patient, offering recommendations and explaining popular choices. The ordering process itself was fast, and there was very little wait time between placing the order and receiving the drinks.
That speed is clearly one of 7 Brew’s strongest selling points. While we sat there, we noticed it look about 5-7 minutes from ordaining to getting the drink in hand. It was quite impressive.
When the drinks arrived, presentation was clean and professional, and the cups were clearly branded, and with a Holiday theme.
Taste wise, the drinks delivered exactly what they promised. Everything felt customizable, which is a major appeal for people who like flavored or specialty beverages.
Overall Experience and Takeaway
Walking away from my first visit, it was easy to understand why 7 Brew has developed such a strong following.
The combination of speed, friendly service, and a massive menu makes it stand out in an increasingly crowded coffee market. The Rio Grande New Jersey location felt well run and perfectly suited for the pace of Cape May County, especially during peak travel seasons.
They are now working on another location in South Jersey, this time in at 528 Berlin – Cross Keys Road in Sicklerville. There is also another one being proposed in Voorhees that our friends over at 42Freeway.com reported on.
For anyone in South Jersey who has been curious about 7 Brew Coffee, this location is a solid introduction to the brand.
Whether you are a daily coffee drinker or someone looking for a quick energy boost on the go, 7 Brew offers an experience that is different from traditional coffee shops and clearly designed for modern convenience.
