I stopped at 7 Brew off Olive around lunchtime today. That's not my usual time to go, but it's…read moreFriday and I definitely needed a little pick-me-up! I was planning to get my regular chai, but when I pulled up, I was shocked to find out they were completely out of chai. Apparently, I'm not the only person who loves it! The employee looked back at what I had ordered previously and helped me come up with a coffee option that wouldn't be too coffee-heavy since I'm not a huge coffee drinker. We decided on a Blondie with all the same syrups I normally get in my chai and made it extra sweet. It actually turned out pretty delicious! I could still taste a little of the coffee, but considering my beloved chai was unavailable, it was a really good replacement. Since I was there around lunchtime, I also needed something to eat, so of course I got one of my absolute favorites--the chocolate chip muffin top! I can never pass those up. I know people constantly complain about the lines at 7 Brew and how long they take, so today I decided to actually time it because I've always felt like the line moves pretty quickly. From the time I got in line until they handed me my drink, it was exactly 10 minutes. Honestly, I don't think that's bad at all! You can easily wait that long for a fast-food meal, and at least I know I'm getting a freshly made drink. I've always thought working at 7 Brew seems like such a fun job for a teenager. The location didn't have any music playing today, which I noticed because the atmosphere is usually pretty energetic, but it still had all the bright, colorful signs that make 7 Brew feel so fun and different from other drive-thru coffee places. Even though they were out of chai, the employee was helpful, I found a pretty great replacement, and I got my muffin top. Overall, still a successful Friday pick-me-up!

I've tried a few hot drink now from 7 Brew and I'm still not sure I am a huge fan (I am a Starbucks…read moreGirlie). Hopped off the highway for something hot with caffeine. The cup always seems lighter than expected. Maybe they use more foam than liquid? Accessiblity: Unfortunately this locations is not easily accessible. Hopefully once all the construction working is over you can enter off Olivette rather than driving through the shopping plaza to access drive thru. Service: Service at this location was also rather slow compared to the others. I had to wave to a worker to get my order because only one person was outside taking orders from one lane. A few cars came & place order after me and got through. The guy who ended up taking my order seemed as though he was having a day... Recommendation: Think I'll keep trying different flavors until I find "the one." Think I'll give their cold drink a try (not this location though).

I came here on my quest for new smoothie places to try. When I walked in, I was greeted immediately…read moreand the attendant was quick to answer any questions I had regarding the menu and products. I noticed they had more than smoothies, and my eyes immediately went to the juice case. They have quite the selection of pressed juices, shots, protein balls, and other things. After scanning the menu, I got the peanut butter and banana toast, nirvana pressed juice, and birthday cake protein balls. She asked if I was a member of Orange Theory and I said, "no." They have a special partnership with them that I think includes a certain percentage off, so maybe I should become a member! I drank the juice first and tried one of the protein balls while I was waiting on my toast. The juice was refreshing and on the sweeter side, which is what I wanted. The protein ball was good, but the after taste was a little odd. Perhaps it was the flavor? It was recommended by person working. Although I'm not writing it off entirely, I may have better luck with the other flavors (cookie dough, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and red velvet). It didn't take long before my toast was ready and I was on my way. I managed to sneak a few bites in before I made it home and they more than exceeded my expectations. For the record, any place that uses Union Loafers bread can do no wrong in my book. The toast was quite savory and I def enjoyed it more with each bite. Fyi, they lay the pb on pretty thick, so make sure you chew thoroughly! All in all, a solid protein packed meal all around. I hate that I got full after one piece, so let's hope I can finish the other piece later!

I have wanted to try Neon Banana for awhile after I tried some of their juice shots at a…read morepromotional event. I finally made it there today! After you deal with the parking, which can be a bit inconvenient as it's in a crowded intersection and parking lot - though I noticed neon banana has a few dedicated parking spots for 5 minute parking which helps! - you find the cute little locally-owned shop amongst the strip mall. What I first noticed & loved was the vibe and concept of the shop! The literal bananas around are fun & def has a mildly-funky-but-still-upscale vibe. I knew to expect juices and smoothies but was pleasantly surprised to find a few other food items like bread, broth, protein balls, overnight oats, and more. I tend to be basic with my tastes so I was hesitant to try some of their smoothies with elaborate ingredients. I chatted with the friendly cashier/smoothie extraordinaire & I said I was leaning towards the regular strawberry but wanted to try something a little out of my comfort zone, but not too far out. She recommended the neon banana (COCONUT WATER, ORANGE JUICE, BANANA, PINEAPPLE, MANGO, BLUE MAJIK (BLUE SPIRULINA/COCONUT WATER). I'm so glad I tried - it's delicious! They're also willing to customize. When I mentioned I don't love coconut, she said she could take out the coconut water. The blue spirulina wasn't my fave but the flavor & the rest of the smoothie was amaze, would def get again. The cons: It is pricey, this particular 16oz smoothie being $10.95. Also, the hours are somewhat limited, closing most days at 4:30. However - I don't know of too many locally owned smoothie cafes so I think the juice is worth the squeeze on this one ;) I could see myself coming back for a late morning or early afternoon snack, for sure getting the neon banana again or trying some of the other flavors. I'd probably avoid busy times of day like lunch or commute times. It would probably be a once in awhile splurge place, but would love to make it back again!

You can tell it doesn't have any artificial flavoring or anything compared to other places. My drink has mango and pineapple in it, which are some of my favorite fruits. If you want something quick, fast, and on the lighter side, this is a good option. Until next time...
