Coffee Classics One syrup apart

Blondie vs Brunette at 7 Brew

The two most-ordered drinks on the 7 Brew board, and they differ by exactly one syrup. Here is what that changes, and what it does not.

The two in the cup

What each one looks like

Blondie is caramel and vanilla over espresso; Brunette is the chocolate side of the same build. Both pour in every size, and both can be ordered half-and-half.

A Blondie is caramel and vanilla; a Brunette is chocolate and caramel. Same espresso, same milk, same three sizes. The Brunette carries about 17 more calories in a Medium because chocolate syrup is heavier than vanilla.

Which one to order

Order the Blondie if…

  • You want caramel to lead and vanilla to round it out
  • You want the slightly lighter of the two (17 fewer calories in a Medium)
  • You are ordering for someone who does not like chocolate
  • It is your first 7 Brew drink. It is the one the chain is known for

Order the Brunette if…

  • You want chocolate with the caramel behind it
  • You want the richer, heavier mouthfeel
  • You are ordering it iced, where chocolate reads cleaner
  • You already like mochas and want the caramel edge
Best of both

How to order a half-and-half

You do not have to pick. Ask for a Blondie with a pump of chocolate, or a Brunette with vanilla swapped in for half the chocolate, and you get something in between. Both are normal orders. The syrup wall is the whole point of the menu.

Other variations worth knowing: a Blondie Breve swaps the milk for half-and-half, a Blondie cold brew swaps the espresso for cold brew concentrate, and both of them work iced or hot at any of the three sizes (16 / 24 / 32 oz).
