7 Brew Caffeine Guide: Every Drink, Size & Decaf Options (2026)

7 Brew caffeine guide 2026 comparing a mocha, cold brew, latte, blue energy drink and pink lemonade

If you are trying to work out how much caffeine is actually in your 7 Brew order, here is the short answer, and it is not the one most guides give you: cold brew is the strongest drink you can order over the counter, espresso drinks come next, and 7 Energy is far weaker than its name suggests. The single most caffeinated thing on the menu is a large Frozen Chiller.

Every figure on this page comes from 7 Brewโ€™s own nutrition guide, the edition dated 1 October 2026. Where our earlier figures were wrong, they have been replaced.


Caffeine is one line on the panel. For everything around it, calories, sugar and protein per drink, see the full 7 Brew nutrition facts breakdown.

Here is the same menu ranked from strongest to weakest, using the large size of each drink:

  1. Mocha Frozen Chiller: 362 mg
  2. Cold Brew: 357 mg
  3. Latte, Breve or Mocha (hot or iced): 240 mg
  4. Black Tea: 170 mg
  5. 7 Energy: 133 mg
  6. Green Tea: 79 mg
  7. Chai Latte (iced): 25 mg
  8. Matcha Latte (iced): 22 mg
  9. Decaf Tea: 1 mg
  10. Lemonades, 7 Fizz Sodas and Smoothies: 0 mg

Kids sizes run lower again: 60 mg for espresso drinks, 53 mg black tea, 25 mg green tea, 8 mg chai and 6 mg matcha. For the whole tea, chai and matcha line-up, see our 7 Brew teas guide. Canned drinks are covered separately in our 7 Brew canned coffee guide; every 7 Energy can has 114 mg.


The Frozen Chiller Catch Nobody Mentions

This is the part worth knowing before you order. The coffee Frozen Chillers, such as the Mocha, Latte and Blondie Breve, carry far more caffeine than the same drink served hot or iced.

Frozen ChillerSmallMediumLarge
Mocha181 mg272 mg362 mg
Latte162 mg243 mg324 mg
Brunette Mocha170 mg260 mg340 mg
Blondie Breve152 mg233 mg304 mg
7 Energy36 mg55 mg71 mg

Read that carefully. A large Blondie ordered iced carries 240 mg. The same Blondie as a Frozen Chiller carries 304 mg โ€” an extra 64 mg for choosing the frozen version. A large Mocha Chiller at 362 mg is the most caffeinated drink on the whole menu, ahead of a large cold brew.

The reverse is true for 7 Energy: as a Frozen Chiller it drops to roughly half the caffeine of the iced version.


Why Cold Brew Is the Strongest Thing You Can Order Over the Counter

Cold brew steeps coffee grounds in cold water for many hours rather than pulling a quick shot under pressure. That long contact time pulls out more caffeine per ounce than espresso does, which is why a large cold brew reaches 357 mg while a large latte sits at 240 mg.

It is also almost calorie free โ€” a large cold brew is 25 calories. If you want the most caffeine for the fewest calories on the menu, that is the order.


Why a Medium Has the Same Caffeine as a Small

This surprises people, and it is the most useful thing on this page. For espresso drinks, 7 Brew’s published figures show small and medium carrying identical caffeine, with only the large stepping up:

SizeEspresso drinksWhat it means
Kids60 mgOne shot
Small120 mgTwo shots
Medium120 mgStill two shots โ€” more milk, same coffee
Large240 mgFour shots

So sizing from small to medium gets you more drink but no more caffeine. Going small to large doubles it. If you want a stronger cup without a bigger one, ask for an extra shot instead of sizing up. Our 7 Brew sizes and prices guide shows what each size costs.

One honest note: the americano rows in the official guide do not follow this pattern cleanly โ€” the hot medium is listed at 180 mg, and the iced medium is listed at 9 mg, which is plainly a typo in the guide rather than a real figure. We have left it out of the table rather than repeat it.

7 Energy Has Less Caffeine Than You Would Think

This is worth correcting, because the name suggests otherwise and because we got it wrong here ourselves before the official figures were available. 7 Energy runs 67 mg small, 105 mg medium and 133 mg large.

A large 7 Energy therefore carries roughly half the caffeine of a large latte, and about a third of a large cold brew. It is closer to a strong cup of tea than to an energy shot.

What it does carry is sugar. A large Ocean Breeze 7 Energy has 91 grams of it. If you are ordering 7 Energy for the lift, the caffeine is modest and the sugar is not.


Which 7 Brew Drinks Have No Caffeine At All?

These are the genuine zeros in the official guide:

  • Lemonades โ€” every flavor, caffeine free
  • 7 Fizz Sodas โ€” sparkling water and syrup, nothing brewed in the build
  • Fruit Smoothies โ€” blended fruit and ice, caffeine free unless you add an energy base

Decaf tea is not quite zero, but close: the guide lists it at 1 mg per drink, at every size.

Chai is not on this list. In the October 2026 guide an iced Chai Latte is 13 mg small, 19 mg medium and 25 mg large, so it is low in caffeine but not caffeine free.

The one thing to watch: several of these can be built with an energy base if you ask. A fruit drink made on the 7 Energy base is no longer caffeine free. If it matters, say “no energy base” when you order.


7 Brew Decaf Options: What You Can Actually Get

7 Brew offers decaf black tea, decaf green tea and decaf herbal tea, available at all locations, hot or iced, and customisable with the same milks and syrups as anything else.

At 1 mg per serving, decaf tea is as close to caffeine free as a brewed drink gets. Decaffeination never removes every last trace, which is worth knowing if you are avoiding caffeine strictly rather than casually.

Can You Get a Decaf Blondie or a Decaf Latte?

According to 7 Brewโ€™s own FAQ, yes: โ€œMost of our coffee drinks can be made decaf or half-caf, but cold brew is the only exception.โ€ A decaf espresso shot carries about 2 mg of caffeine or less. So a decaf Blondie, Brunette or latte is possible; just ask for it decaf, or half-caf if you want some caffeine. The one drink you cannot get decaf is cold brew. Our does 7 Brew have decaf guide lists every drink you can order decaf.

If you would rather skip coffee altogether, decaf tea is listed at 1 mg and can be ordered hot. Chai lattes are a low-caffeine option rather than a zero: 13 to 26 mg depending on size and whether you order it hot or iced.


What If You Are Ordering for Kids?

The lemonades, 7 Fizz sodas and fruit smoothies are the straightforward choices โ€” no caffeine at all. Chai is low but not zero: a kids iced chai is 8 mg and a small is 13 mg. For a warm option with almost no caffeine, decaf tea is 1 mg.

Matcha is much lower than people assume: a large matcha latte is only 22 mg, less than a third of a large green tea. The ones to be careful with are anything coffee-based, the 7 Energy line, and black tea, which at 170 mg in a large is stronger than most people expect from tea.

7 Brew Canned Coffee Caffeine: The Walmart Cans Are Not the Same Drink

Since August 2026 you can buy 7 Brew in a can at Walmart, but a can is not the same strength as the drink from the window. 7 Brew does not publish a milligram figure for the three 11 fl oz coffee cans; it says each has about as much caffeine as one shot of espresso. A small or medium Blondie at the stand is 120 mg and a large is 240 mg, so a large from the window is roughly three cans.

The Original 7 Energy can (12 oz) is listed at 114 mg, between a medium (105 mg) and a large (133 mg) at the stand. For every flavor, price and where to buy them, see our full 7 Brew canned coffee guide.

How 7 Brew Compares to a Regular Cup of Coffee

For context, a standard 8 oz cup of home-brewed coffee sits around 95 mg of caffeine. Against that:

  • A small latte at 120 mg is a little more than one home cup
  • A large latte at 240 mg is about two and a half cups
  • A large cold brew at 357 mg is close to four cups
  • A large Mocha Frozen Chiller at 362 mg is the strongest thing on the menu
  • A large 7 Energy at 133 mg is less than one and a half cups

Most health guidance puts a healthy adult’s daily ceiling around 400 mg. A single large Frozen Chiller uses 90% of that in one drink. That is the number worth remembering from this page.


Frequently Asked Questions

Which 7 Brew drink has the most caffeine?

A large Mocha Frozen Chiller, at 362 mg, just ahead of a large cold brew at 357 mg.

How much caffeine is in a large Blondie?

240 mg ordered hot or iced. Ordered as a Frozen Chiller it is 304 mg.

Are 7 Energy drinks caffeine free?

No, but they are much weaker than the name suggests: 67 mg small, 105 mg medium, 133 mg large. That is less than a large latte.

Does 7 Brew chai have caffeine?

Yes, a little. 7 Brewโ€™s October 2026 nutrition guide lists an iced Chai Latte at 13 mg small, 19 mg medium and 25 mg large, and the Brewchata chai latte at 10 to 24 mg. That is far less than coffee, but it is not caffeine free.

Does 7 Brew matcha have caffeine?

Very little. A large matcha latte is 22 mg, and a small is 11 mg โ€” far lower than most matcha drinks elsewhere.

What drinks can you get decaf at 7 Brew?

Most espresso drinks, which 7 Brew says can be made decaf or half-caf, plus decaf tea (listed at 1 mg). Cold brew is the only coffee that cannot be made decaf.

Does 7 Brew lemonade have caffeine?

No. All the lemonades are caffeine free, unless you specifically ask for one built on an energy base.

How much caffeine is in 7 Brew canned coffee from Walmart?

7 Brew has not published a milligram figure for the 11 oz coffee cans. Its own product pages describe each can as having about as much caffeine as one shot of espresso, which usually lands around 60 to 75 mg. That makes the cans far lighter than the same drink from the drive-thru.

Is a Blondie can the same as a Blondie from the stand?

No. The can is a single espresso shot’s worth of caffeine. A small or medium Blondie at the stand is 120 mg and a large is 240 mg, so a large from the window is roughly three cans.

How much caffeine is in a 7 Brew energy can?

114 mg in a 12 oz can of Original 7 Energy, sugar-free included. That sits just above a medium 7 Energy at the stand (105 mg) and below a large (133 mg).

Is a medium really the same as a small?

For espresso drinks, yes โ€” both are listed at 120 mg. The medium gives you more liquid, not more coffee. Only the large steps up, to 240 mg.

Final Thoughts

The simplest way to hold this in your head: Frozen Chillers and cold brew are the strong end, espresso drinks and black tea are the middle, and chai, matcha, lemonades, sodas and smoothies are the low or zero end. 7 Energy sits lower than its name implies.

And if you are cutting back, the easiest win is not sizing down from medium to small โ€” that saves you nothing on an espresso drink. It is choosing iced over frozen.
