7 Brew Vegan Drinks: Plant-Based Orders and What to Avoid
Eating plant-based and still want your 7 Brew fix? You have options. Several drinks are vegan as made, and many more can be adjusted with non-dairy milk and a few simple swaps. This guide explains what to order and what to avoid.
Ingredients can change and vary by stand. If you are strict about animal products, always confirm ingredients with your brewista. For allergy information, see our allergen guide.
What makes a drink vegan?
A vegan drink contains no animal products. At a coffee stand, the main non-vegan ingredients are:
- Dairy milk, half and half and cream.
- Whipped cream and cold foam toppings.
- Sauces that contain milk, like white chocolate or some caramel sauces.
- Ice cream or dairy bases used in shakes and some frozen drinks.
- Honey, which some vegans avoid.
Naturally vegan drinks
These are usually vegan as made (with no cream added):
- Americano – espresso and water.
- Cold Brew – plain.
- Energy drinks – such as Ocean Breeze or Brewberry, without cream.
- Lemonades – such as Pink Paradise, without cream.
- Green teas – such as Hula Green Tea.
- Fizz sodas without cream – ask for no cream.
Drinks you can veganize
- Lattes – order with oat, almond or coconut milk and syrups instead of sauces.
- 7 Originals – order the flavors in a latte with non-dairy milk, using syrups. See our 7 Originals guide.
- Matcha lattes – with non-dairy milk; ask whether the matcha blend contains dairy.
- Chai lattes – with non-dairy milk; ask about the chai concentrate. Avoid the Salted Honey Chai if you avoid honey.
Syrups vs sauces
This is the most important tip for vegans at any coffee shop. Thin syrups (like vanilla, hazelnut or caramel syrup) are usually free of animal products. Thicker sauces (like white chocolate sauce or some caramel sauces) often contain milk. When you order, ask for “syrup, not sauce.”
Things to skip
- Whipped cream.
- Soft top or cold foam.
- Drizzles (which are often sauces).
- Shakes.
- Smoothies, unless you confirm the base is dairy-free.
- Frozen drinks, unless you confirm the frozen base is dairy-free.
Best vegan orders to try
- Iced oat milk vanilla latte.
- Cold brew with oat milk and caramel syrup.
- Coconut milk latte with coconut and vanilla syrups.
- Fruity energy drink, no cream.
- Pink Paradise Lemonade.
- Georgia Peach Green Tea.
- Oat milk chai latte (after confirming the chai concentrate).
What about sugar?
Some vegans avoid certain refined sugars because of how they are processed. If this matters to you, ask your stand about their sugar and syrup sources. Most people following a plant-based diet do not worry about this, but it is good to know.
