With a new Dutch Bros location opening in Amelia, McNicholas students have another option when choosing where to grab their favorite drinks. Whether it’s a flavored energy drink, iced coffee, or a sweet treat, students have plenty of options to choose from.
Seven Brew and Dutch Bros both offer a variety of drinks, including iced coffees, energy drinks, teas, lemonades and smoothies. Seven Brew is known for its 7 Energy drinks, Blondies and customizable flavors, while Dutch Bros offers popular drinks like the Golden Eagle, Rebels and specialty cold brews. Both shops allow customers to mix flavors and customize their drinks, making it easy to find something for everyone.
Students mentioned several favorite drinks, including Seven Brew’s Ocean Breeze 7 Energy, Blondie and Brew Lagoon. Dutch Bros favorites included the Golden Eagle, Tiramisu Cold Brew and Cookie Butter Latte.
Freshman Kennedy Sandoval said her favorite Seven Brew order is “7 Energy with pineapple, lemon, and blue raspberry from Seven Brew,” while sophomore Madison Kelly-Murray shared her Dutch Bros order: “Dutch Bros Iced cookie butter latte with extra sweet pumpkin soft top and extra cookie butter.”
As the new Dutch Bros location brings more competition to the area, students will continue choosing between their favorite drinks and trying new options. While Seven Brew currently leads among McNicholas students, the rivalry is just getting started. Comment below with your favorite coffee spot and order.
