7 Brew Coffee continues its expansion across South Jersey, with a new location proposed for Voorhees on White Horse Road, in the property next to Target.
7 Brew is a newer but rapidly growing, drive-thru-only coffee chain featuring a signature building design with the coffee shop in the center, and two overhangs on either end. The structures are fabricated off-site and then placed once the on-site foundation work is completed.
The name “7 Brew” comes from the company’s original seven coffee recipes. Today, with an extensive selection of ingredients and flavors, they can create an almost unlimited variety of drinks including coffees, energy drinks, sparkling water “Fizz”, Teas, Lemonades, Smoothies and Shakes!
The proposed Voorhees location is across from Edge Fitness and as mentioned, will sit directly next to the Target property on White Horse Road (although it appears the two properties’ parking lots do not directly connect). But this places 7 Brew in a prime spot within the Voorhees commercial district, just several hundred feet from the busy intersection of White Horse Road and Haddonfield-Berlin Road.
7 Brew made a major splash in South Jersey earlier this year with the opening of its Washington Township (Turnersville) location, which continued to draw long lines well after its Grand Opening.
Two weeks ago, the company opened a location in Rio Grande, Cape May County. (Wildwood Video Archive). Additional locations are currently under construction on Blackwood-Clementon Road and Cross Keys Road.
This 7 Brew Voorhees story has been covered by popular Facebook page A View From Evesham since earlier in the year when it seemed a different coffee shop operator was considered

For the Voorhees site, 7 Brew will still use its signature drive-thru building with the employee drink prep shop in the middle and overhangs on each end of the building. However, due to the building’s placement near an existing structure (which sits in the center of the property), the vehicle circulation pattern will be different from other area 7 Brew locations.
Normally, 7 Brew site plans are designed so vehicles wrap around the small coffee shop building before the customer pulls in under the overhang, where they pay and receive their drinks.
Voorhees will be slightly different. With the coffee shop positioned closer to the existing building, customer traffic will drive around the entire existing larger structure on the property. The drive-thru lane queue will be more of a straight line along the rear of the property, which should provide additional vehicle capacity if lines become long.
This project was originally scheduled for a zoning hearing in December but has been postponed until January 22. According to the zoning board secretary, only five board members were present at the December meeting, prompting the request by the applicant to delay the hearing until January.
Another noteworthy aspect of this project is that the development team previously received approvals earlier this year for changes to the property.
A 5,000-square-foot addition on the far right side of the building was previously approved and is still expected to move forward to development but in a second phase. Additionally, a different drive-thru plan was presented earlier in the year, reportedly for a different operator than 7 Brew. These prior approvals are part of the reason the Seven Brew proposal must now be reviewed again.
The current 7 Brew proposal includes a 530-square-foot drive-thru coffee building and a separate approximately 260-square-foot cooler/storage structure. The parking lot would be reconfigured, along with updated traffic circulation patterns. New signage and lighting are also included in the proposal.
Several variances are being requested, including the fact that drive-thru coffee shops are not a permitted use in this zoning district. Additional, more standard variances are also being sought for items such as buffers and signage.
I’ve been following all of the South Jersey 7 Brew projects closely. On November 24, I wrote an update on the Blackwood-Clementon Road location shortly after the building was placed on site, while the Winslow location was still in the foundation phase. Since then, the Winslow building has also been set in place at the corner property in front of the Sicklerville ShopRite.
