A Unique Coffee Drive-Thru Brewing In Schenectady

There's a new coffee spot in town, and it is building its third location. This one is unique because the servers come to your car.

Seven Brew Coffee is growing fast, and they’re not slowing down in the Albany area.

The newest drive-thru location is under construction at Crosstown Plaza in Schenectady. It’ll be right near United Buffet and Ocean State Job Lot.

This will be the third Capital Region location for the chain. There’s already one on Central Ave in Colonie and another in Johnstown.

Seven Brew is known for its quick service. Employees take your order while you’re in line using iPads, so it moves fast. The shop itself will be small, just 510 square feet, but it’s built for efficiency.

The local franchisee is Brew Team NY. They opened the Colonie location last fall and are planning to open more. According to the Albany Business Review, they’ve stated that they could eventually have over 60 Seven Brew locations across upstate New York.

Seven Brew is based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and has experienced rapid growth in popularity. Since their first shop opened in 2017, they’ve grown to more than 400 stores across the U.S. They’ve added around 140 new locations each year for the past two years, according to QSR Magazine.

The menu includes seven signature coffee drinks, plus lattes, cold brew, teas, energy drinks, shakes, lemonades, sparkling waters, and smoothies.

No word yet on exactly when the Schenectady location will open, but construction is underway.

If you love coffee and fast service, you’ll want to keep this place on your radar.
