What Is the 7 Brew Cookies and Cream Drink?
The Cookies and Cream is a fan-created drink from the 7 Brew secret menu — meaning it does not appear on the official board, but baristas across most locations know how to make it, and the ingredients are all part of the standard 7 Brew lineup.
The drink is built on an espresso and steamed milk base, layered with dark chocolate syrup, cupcake syrup, and white chocolate syrup to recreate the flavor of classic cookies and cream desserts. The result is a sweet, creamy latte with rich chocolate notes and a subtle vanilla finish that makes it feel more like a treat than a regular coffee drink.
It is one of the most-ordered dessert drinks in the 7 Brew secret menu category, alongside the Crème Brûlée and Birthday Cake drinks, which follow a similar dessert-inspired concept.
Cookies and Cream Ingredients
The Cookies and Cream drink at 7 Brew is made using standard syrups and ingredients available at all locations. Here is the full ingredient breakdown:
| Ingredient | Role in the Drink |
|---|---|
| Espresso | The coffee base — provides caffeine and depth |
| Steamed Milk | Creates the creamy, smooth texture |
| Dark Chocolate Syrup | Delivers the rich cocoa flavor |
| Cupcake Syrup | Adds sweetness and a cake-like undertone |
| White Chocolate Syrup | Balances the dark chocolate with a creamy, vanilla-sweet layer |
| Whipped Cream | Optional topping — adds richness and presentation |
| Cookie Crumbles (optional) | Garnish for extra texture and crunch |
The combination of dark chocolate, cupcake, and white chocolate syrups is what creates the signature cookies and cream taste. The cupcake syrup in particular is the ingredient most people miss when they try to replicate it — it provides that cake-like sweetness that ties everything together.
How to Order the Cookies and Cream at 7 Brew
Because this drink is not on the official menu board, you need to know what to say. Here is the exact script to use at the drive-through window:
“Can I get a [size] Cookies and Cream latte? That’s dark chocolate, cupcake, and white chocolate syrups in a breve or steamed milk base, topped with whipped cream.”
Most baristas at busy 7 Brew locations will recognize the name immediately. If they do not, the ingredient list above is specific enough that they can build it without any confusion.
Pro tip: If you want a richer, creamier version, ask for a breve base (half-and-half) instead of regular steamed milk. It takes the drink from a latte to something that genuinely tastes like melted cookies and cream ice cream.

Cookies and Cream Price at 7 Brew
Secret menu drinks at 7 Brew are priced the same as their regular specialty menu counterparts. You are essentially paying for a custom latte build, so pricing falls in line with the standard 7 Brew coffee menu prices.
| Size | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Small | $5.00 – $5.50 |
| Medium | $5.75 – $6.25 |
| Large | $6.25 – $6.75 |
Prices may vary slightly by location. Adding extras like an additional espresso shot (+$0.75) or premium milk alternatives can increase the total slightly.
Cookies and Cream Customizations
One of the biggest advantages of ordering from the 7 Brew secret menu is how easily every drink can be customized. Here are the best modifications for the Cookies and Cream:
Make it richer: Ask for a breve base (half-and-half) instead of steamed milk. This makes the drink noticeably thicker and more indulgent — closer to a milkshake than a latte.
Make it sugar-free: Request sugar-free versions of the chocolate and vanilla syrups. Not all locations carry every sugar-free syrup, so it is worth confirming with your barista before you order. This modification can cut the sugar content roughly in half.
Make it dairy-free: Swap the steamed milk for oat milk or almond milk. Oat milk is the best choice here because its natural creaminess holds up well against the chocolate syrups without thinning out the flavor. Skip the whipped cream or ask for a dairy-free alternative.
Make it stronger: Add an extra shot of espresso. The sweetness of the chocolate syrups can sometimes overpower the coffee flavor in smaller sizes, so an extra shot balances the drink nicely, especially if you are ordering it as a morning coffee rather than an afternoon treat.
Make it blended: Ask for the Cookies and Cream as a blended drink (similar to a frappuccino style). This works especially well in warmer months and makes the drink feel even more like a cookies and cream dessert.
Add a drizzle: Request a dark chocolate or caramel drizzle on top of the whipped cream. This adds presentation and intensifies the chocolate flavor with zero extra cost at most locations.
Is the Cookies and Cream Available Everywhere?
Because this is a secret menu item built entirely from standard 7 Brew ingredients — dark chocolate syrup, cupcake syrup, white chocolate syrup — it can technically be made at any 7 Brew location regardless of region or season. There are no seasonal syrups or limited ingredients involved.
If you visit a location where the barista is not familiar with the name, simply read out the ingredient list. The drink is straightforward enough that any barista can build it in under a minute.
