Banana Bread Cold Brew – A Smooth, Dessert-Inspired Coffee You’ll Want to Order Again
Banana Bread Cold Brew is one of 7 Brew’s featured cold brew coffee drinks.
It combines:
- Banana flavor
- Hazelnut flavor
- Smooth cold brew coffee
- Cold foam
- Dark chocolate drizzle
Inspired by the comforting taste of homemade banana bread, the drink blends fruity sweetness, toasted nuttiness, and rich coffee into one refreshing beverage.
Unlike many dessert-inspired coffees that rely mainly on syrups, Banana Bread keeps the cold brew coffee at the center of the experience while adding complementary flavors that enhance rather than overpower it.
Banana + Hazelnut
Banana Bread Taste Review
Rather than tasting like fresh fruit, the banana flavor blends with the roasted hazelnut to recreate the comforting taste associated with warm banana bread.
First Sip
The cold foam creates a creamy introduction.
The banana flavor appears first, followed by the sweetness of the hazelnut.
Mid Palate
As the drink develops, the smooth cold brew becomes more noticeable.
The coffee balances the sweetness and keeps the beverage from feeling overly rich.
Finish
The dark chocolate drizzle leaves a gentle cocoa finish that complements the hazelnut while allowing the cold brew to remain present.
The combination creates a balanced coffee experience from beginning to end.
Does It Really Taste Like Banana Bread?
Yes – but not because it contains actual banana bread.
The combination of banana, hazelnut, and dark chocolate drizzle creates flavors commonly associated with homemade banana bread.
Instead of tasting like fresh bananas, the drink delivers warm bakery-inspired notes with roasted coffee underneath.
Many first-time customers are surprised by how naturally these flavors work together.

Best Ways to Customize Banana Bread

The original recipe is already well balanced, but small adjustments can make it even better for your personal taste.
The best approach is to make one change at a time.
For Stronger Coffee Flavor
If you enjoy bold coffee, ask for:
→ An extra cold brew concentrate or a stronger coffee preparation if available at your location.
This helps the coffee stand out against the banana and hazelnut flavors.
For More Banana Flavor
Love banana bread?
Ask whether your local stand can add:
➾ Extra banana flavor
This makes the bakery-inspired profile more noticeable while keeping the drink smooth.
For Richer Hazelnut Notes
Hazelnut gives the drink warmth and depth.
Adding a little more creates an even stronger roasted, nutty finish.
For Extra Creaminess
If you enjoy rich coffee beverages, request:
➾ Extra cold foam
It creates a softer mouthfeel and blends beautifully with the cold brew.
For Less Sweetness
Not everyone likes dessert-style coffee.
Ask your local stand whether they can:
➾ Reduce the flavored syrup
➾ Use a lighter drizzle
This allows the cold brew’s natural flavor to become more prominent.
Sugar-Free Options
Some 7 Brew locations may offer sugar-free versions of selected syrups.
