New drive-through 7 Brew highlighted by Highlands students for "cultivating kindness"

A Highlands student news segment profiled 7 Brew, a drive-through coffee shop that opened in April, with employees describing the store's focus on customer interaction and workplace culture. Student reporter Grace (identified in the broadcast) and employee speakers said the operation emphasizes what employees described as "cultivating kindness."

Ellie Jacoby, identified in the segment as a brewista at 7 Brew, said, "Our main goal is to cultivate kindness. I feel like we're really succeeding at that, especially, like, in the workplace and also, like, how we interact with our customers." Mara, identified as a barista, said the shop felt "homey" and that she enjoyed coming to work. Ella Danner Duncan said, "Our mission here is to cultivate kindness."

Employees described informal customer interactions such as writing on cups and window prompts labeled "ask me questions" and named favorite menu items ranging from energy drinks (mango flavor) to specialty drinks such as a blondie with marshmallow and caramel drizzle with cold foam. The segment encouraged viewers to visit the shop but did not provide an address or business hours.
