Any donation accepted for a 7 Brew drink this weekend

(Seguin) – A new coffee shop wants your next cup to be for a good cause.

7 Brew Drive Thru Coffee will officially open Monday, September 21, but residents will get an opportunity to visit the new location this weekend during the company’s Caffeine for a Cause fundraiser benefiting the Guadalupe County Children’s Advocacy Center.

Audrey Hess, marketing manager for 7 Brew, says the focus on giving back is part of what she believes makes 7 Brew different from other coffee shops.

“I think what sets us apart from other coffee shops in the area and around Segin is we love to cultivate kindness. That is our big motto as 7 brew,” Hess said. “We care about the communities that we’re opening in and we want to make a great impact and change some lives of the people that are going to be enjoying our coffee.”

Caffeine for a Cause will run Friday through Sunday. During the fundraiser, customers can receive any drink for free and choose how much they want to donate to the Children’s Advocacy Center.

7 Brew offers more than coffee. It also offers tea, smoothies, shakes and energy drinks. Hess says customers can choose from more than 25,000 drink combinations, including sugar-free and dairy-free options.

The most important part of this weekend is that customers can donate whatever dollar amount they wish.

“Donations can range from $5 to $20, with some customers donating $100 to the cause.

All of that money that we are raising, this upcoming weekend. It’s going straight to the children’s advocacy center and it’s going to help improve the lives of children in the community,” said Hess.

For people who may not drink coffee or are unsure about what to order, Hess says 7 Brew’s baristas are prepared to help customers find something they enjoy.

“We’re trying to help you find something that you like,” said Hess. “So there’s just something for everybody and when they come through and they’re not sure what to order, we’ll take as much time as we need to find something that you like and if you try something, you’re like, hey, this isn’t for me, we’ll fix it for you, free of charge, no problem.”

Caffeine for a Cause will be held Friday, September 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday (Sept 19-20) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

7 Brew is located at 350 State Highway 123 Bypass.
