What Is the 7 Brew Banana Bread Blondie?
The Banana Bread Blondie is a fan-created secret menu drink built entirely from standard 7 Brew ingredients. It does not appear on the official menu board, but it has become one of the most recognised secret orders at locations across the country thanks to its viral popularity on social media.
The drink is built on the classic 7 Brew Blondie foundation — espresso in a rich breve base — with banana and hazelnut syrups added in a 50/50 ratio to recreate the warm, nutty sweetness of banana bread. The hazelnut is what makes this drink work. Without it, banana syrup in coffee tastes artificial and sharp. The hazelnut softens it, adds warmth, and creates the toasty, baked quality that makes people say it genuinely tastes like drinking banana bread.
It sits alongside the Cookies and Cream and Birthday Cake as one of the top dessert-inspired secret menu drinks at 7 Brew.
Banana Bread Blondie Ingredients
| Ingredient | Role in the Drink |
|---|---|
| Espresso | Coffee base — provides caffeine and depth |
| Breve (Half-and-Half) | Creates the rich, creamy texture |
| Banana Syrup | Delivers the primary banana bread flavor |
| Hazelnut Syrup | Adds warmth and nutty depth — the key balancing ingredient |
| Caramel Syrup (optional) | Enhances sweetness and adds a buttery finish |
| Whipped Cream | Optional topping |
| Caramel Drizzle (optional) | Recommended add-on for the full bakery effect |
| Cinnamon (optional) | Brings out the spiced notes of real banana bread |
The core recipe is banana syrup and hazelnut syrup in equal parts — that 50/50 ratio is what regulars on Reddit consistently flag as the key to getting it right. Some baristas add a touch of caramel, which rounds out the flavor further, but the banana and hazelnut combination is the non-negotiable foundation.
How to Order the Banana Bread Blondie at 7 Brew
Because this is a secret menu item, you need to know what to say. Here is the exact script for the drive-through:
“Can I get a [size] Banana Bread Blondie? That’s espresso in a breve base with banana and hazelnut syrups, topped with whipped cream.”
Most baristas at busy 7 Brew locations will recognise the name immediately, especially given how widely it has circulated on TikTok. If your barista is not familiar with it, the ingredient list above is clear enough that they can build it from scratch without any confusion.
For the best version: Ask for a breve base specifically. Some baristas default to whole milk if they are less familiar with the drink, but the half-and-half base is what creates the richness that makes it taste like baked banana bread rather than a banana-flavored latte.
For the bakery upgrade: Add a caramel drizzle on top of the whipped cream and ask for a light dusting of cinnamon powder. This combination amplifies the spiced, warm quality of the drink significantly and is a widely shared hack among 7 Brew regulars on social media.
Banana Bread Blondie Calories and Nutrition
Calorie counts vary based on size and your choice of milk base. The standard breve (half-and-half) build is the richest version. The sugar-free almond milk version is dramatically lighter — a popular choice among health-conscious regulars on TikTok.

Banana Bread Blondie Price at 7 Brew
Secret menu drinks at 7 Brew are priced the same as equivalent specialty builds. The Banana Bread Blondie is treated as a latte or Blondie-style drink, so pricing aligns with the standard 7 Brew coffee menu specialty tier.
| Size | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Small | $4.25 – $5.00 |
| Medium | $5.50 – $6.00 |
| Large | $6.00 – $6.50 |
Prices vary by location and state. Adding extras such as an additional espresso shot (+$0.75), cold foam, or premium milk alternatives may increase the total slightly.
Banana Bread Blondie Customizations
The classic version: Banana and hazelnut syrups in a breve base. This is the standard build and the one most baristas will default to when you order by name.
The bakery upgrade: Add a caramel drizzle and cinnamon cold foam on top. This is the most shared variation on social media and takes the drink noticeably closer to the flavor of actual spiced banana bread. If your location offers cinnamon powder as a garnish, ask for that too.
The chocolate chip variant: Add dark chocolate sauce to the standard build. This creates a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread version that is richer and slightly more indulgent. Worth trying if you enjoy the Cookies and Cream and want something that bridges both drinks.
The sugar-free skinny version: Swap the breve for almond milk and request sugar-free banana and sugar-free hazelnut syrups. Skip the whipped cream. This brings the medium down to approximately 156 calories while preserving the core banana and hazelnut flavor profile. It is the most popular modification among diet-conscious regulars.
The dairy-free version: Oat milk is the best non-dairy swap for this drink because its natural creaminess holds up well against the syrups without thinning the texture. Almond milk works too but produces a slightly lighter, less rich result.
Extra sweet: Ask for an extra pump of banana syrup. This pushes the banana flavor forward more aggressively and works well if you find the standard build a little too coffee-forward.
Extra strong: Add an extra espresso shot. The sweetness of the banana and hazelnut can overpower the coffee base in smaller sizes, so an additional shot balances the drink well if you are using it as a morning caffeine source rather than an afternoon treat.
Iced or blended: The Banana Bread Blondie works in all three formats. Hot brings out the warm, bakery-style quality of the banana and hazelnut most strongly. Iced sharpens the flavors and makes it feel more refreshing. Blended turns it into a dessert-style drink that functions as a milkshake alternative — particularly popular in summer months.
Allergen Information
| Allergen | Present in Standard Build |
|---|---|
| Dairy (Milk) | Yes — breve base and whipped cream |
| Soy | Possibly — check syrup ingredients at your location |
| Nuts | Possibly — hazelnut syrup may contain nut derivatives |
| Wheat | No |
| Eggs | No |
If you have a nut allergy, confirm with your barista whether the hazelnut syrup used at your specific location contains actual nut derivatives or is artificially flavored. This varies by supplier and location.
Is the Banana Bread Blondie Available Year-Round?
Yes. Unlike some secret menu drinks that rely on seasonal or limited-run syrups, the Banana Bread Blondie uses banana and hazelnut — two core 7 Brew syrups that are available at all locations throughout the year. There is no seasonal restriction on this drink, which is part of why it has maintained consistent popularity rather than spiking and fading like limited-time items.
If you are visiting a new location and the barista is not familiar with the name, simply read out the ingredients — banana syrup, hazelnut syrup, espresso, breve base — and they can build it without any issues.
