The Blondie is 7 Brew’s best-known drink: a vanilla and caramel breve, which means espresso with half-and-half instead of milk, and it’s the first item on the 7 Originals list. A small iced Blondie is 280 calories, 20 g of sugar and 120 mg of caffeine; a medium jumps to 480 calories because the cup goes from 16 to 24 oz of mostly cream. Expect to pay $4.75 to $5.50 for a small in 2026. It comes hot, iced or as a Frozen Chiller, and there’s a sugar-free version that cuts sugar to 4 g but keeps most of the calories.
This page covers what’s actually in it, the exact order words, the price by size, the calorie table for all three styles, and the four Blondie variations 7 Brew makes (cold brew, pumpkin, eggnog, chiller). For a full macro breakdown see Blondie nutrition facts.
What is in a 7 Brew Blondie?
Three things: espresso, half-and-half, and two syrups (vanilla and caramel). 7brew.com lists it simply as “Vanilla + Caramel Breve.” There’s no white chocolate in it, which is the main difference from the Sweet & Salty (salted caramel + white chocolate breve) and the Smooth 7 (Irish cream + white chocolate breve). The Brunette is the mocha cousin: hazelnut and caramel on chocolate and milk instead of cream.
Two shots go in a small and a medium; four go in a large. That’s why a medium has the same caffeine as a small but 200 more calories. The extra 8 oz is cream and ice, not coffee.
7 Brew Blondie price by size
| Size | Typical price (2026) | Iced cup |
|---|---|---|
| Kids | $3.75 – $4.25 | 12 oz |
| Small | $4.75 – $5.50 | 16 oz |
| Medium | $5.50 – $6.25 | 24 oz |
| Large | $6.25 – $7.25 | 32 oz |
Prices come from stand menu boards in 2026 and vary by franchise; 7 Brew’s FAQ says pricing is on the board at each stand. Sugar-free is the same price. A cheaper near-copy: order a small latte with vanilla and caramel, which is usually 50 to 75 cents less and about 170 calories, though it won’t have the cream texture.

The hot Blondie is the calorie trap: a small hot is 410 calories against 280 iced, because there’s no ice displacing cream. The sugar-free Frozen Chiller is the lightest Blondie at 120 calories for a small, oddly enough, since the chiller base is blended with ice and less half-and-half. The sugar-free syrups add a soy flag to the allergen line.
How to order a Blondie (and the versions worth trying)
- Say the size, then “iced Blondie” or “hot Blondie.” No need to say breve; it already is one.
- Add “half sweet” if you want less syrup (my default), or “sugar-free” for the diet syrups.
- Ask for “as a chiller” for the frozen version, or “with whipped cream and caramel drizzle” for the dessert version (drizzle adds about 130 calories per ounce).
- Kids size is a 12 oz Blondie with one shot; it no longer earns Rewards points.
| Variation | What changes | When | Small iced calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blondie cold brew | Vanilla + caramel in cold brew, no cream | Year-round, Classics menu | 120 (156 mg caffeine) |
| Original Pumpkin Blondie Breve | Adds pumpkin syrup | September 2026 featured drink | About 300 |
| Eggnog Blondie | Eggnog-flavored base | Holiday menu (2024) | Not in guide |
| Blondie Frozen Chiller | Blended with ice | Year-round | 380 |
| Iced Blondie with oat milk | Half-and-half swapped for oat | Year-round, +$0.75 | Roughly 150 to 180 |
Blondie vs Brunette vs Smooth 7
| Drink | Base | Syrups | Small iced calories | Sugar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blondie | Breve (cream) | Vanilla + caramel | 280 | 20 g |
| Brunette | Mocha (chocolate + milk) | Hazelnut + caramel | 250 | 39 g |
| Smooth 7 | Breve | Irish cream + white chocolate | 300 | 26 g |
| Sweet & Salty | Breve | Salted caramel + white chocolate | 300 | 27 g |
If you want less sugar, the Blondie is the lowest-sugar Original at 20 g for a small; the Brunette has nearly twice that because chocolate sauce is sweeter than cream. If you want fewer calories, the Brunette wins by 30. I’d pick the Blondie for a first visit and the Smooth 7 if you already like Irish cream.
Blondie order problems and fixes
| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Too sweet | Regular sweetness is a full pump set of two syrups | Order “half sweet” or “1/4 sweet”; 7 Brew offers 1/4, 1/2, regular and extra |
| Too heavy or rich | Half-and-half base | Ask for it “as a latte” (milk instead of cream) or with oat milk |
| Hot Blondie tastes different from iced | Less ice, more cream, syrups taste stronger warm | Order hot at half sweet |
| Sugar-free still has calories | Cream is the calorie source, not syrup | A sugar-free small iced is 240 calories; a sugar-free chiller is 120 |
| Wanted more caffeine | Small and medium both have two shots | Add a shot (about 60 mg, $0.75 to $1) or order a large (four shots) |
Blondie FAQs
What does the 7 Brew Blondie taste like?
Like a caramel-vanilla latte made with cream instead of milk: sweet, heavy, not bitter. The half-and-half is what people react to; if you normally drink 2% lattes it will feel rich. At half sweetness it tastes closer to a vanilla breve with a caramel finish.
How much is a Blondie at 7 Brew?
About $4.75 to $5.50 for a small, $5.50 to $6.25 for a medium and $6.25 to $7.25 for a large in 2026, depending on the stand. 7 Brew does not publish prices.
Is the Blondie a coffee drink?
Yes. It is a breve, which is espresso plus half-and-half, with vanilla and caramel syrups. A small or medium has two shots (120 mg caffeine) and a large has four (240 mg).
Can I get the Blondie with oat milk?
Yes, but then it is technically a Blondie latte, not a breve, since the half-and-half is swapped out. Oat, almond and coconut milk each add about 75 cents. The calories drop a lot; a small iced latte base is 110 versus 240 for a breve base.
What is a Blondie cold brew?
The same vanilla and caramel syrups poured into cold brew instead of espresso and cream. It is on the permanent Classics menu, comes in at 120 calories for a small, and carries 156 mg of caffeine small and 335 mg large.
Is there a pumpkin Blondie?
Yes, seasonally. The Original Pumpkin Blondie Breve (vanilla + caramel + pumpkin) is one of 7 Brew’s five featured drinks for September 2026, and an Eggnog Blondie showed up on the 2024 holiday menu.
