I have been waiting and waiting and now - the wait is almost over! In case you didn't know, a 7 Brew Coffee is opening in Duluth.

You may have seen the building pop up this summer in the new Jigsaw development along Central Entrance. It's been a long wait, as we first learned the franchise would be opening here in May of 2025.

Nearly a year went by with no movement so I was starting to think it wasn't happening. In February of this year, we finally got an update that the coffee shop was moving forward.

Now, the new 7 Brew location is opening VERY soon. The building went up quickly and now, the grand opening date is upon us. Drumroll, please...

7 brew offers energy drinks, teas like chai and matcha, smoothies, fizzy sodas and lemonades. They also offer shakes and of course, coffee classics like mochas, lattes, macchiatos and cappuccinos.

They also have their originals menu, which is my favorite. I absolutely can not wait! They offer sugar-free flavors. This cannot open soon enough and I will be first in line opening day.
