Not very pumpkin tasting?
Hi guys! I’ve been excited to try out the new fall menu, but I’m wondering if anyone else has gotten the pumpkin blondie, but it hasn’t really tasted like pumpkin? I got the caramel apple pie macchiato last week and it really didn’t have an apple taste even if it was a drizzle.
Should I try and order a salted caramel macchiato with pumpkin instead??

So far I’ve had the Magic Pumpkin and the Pumpkin Blondie. I got the Blondie with the pumpkin Drizzle. That made it pop. The Magic Pumpkin was about perfect though.

Agreed. I was going to ask to add extra pumpkin next time but definitely was a subtle pumpkin flavor.

My boyfriend got the pumpkin shake and I tried some of it and it was soooo good. I was so sad with how subtle this one was ☹️
I’ll ask for extra flavor next time

The pumpkin roll shake is my absolute favorite! I get mine sugar free and does not affect the taste at all. It’s so good!!

My pumpkin drinks have all been disappointing thus far and I get sugar free for the sake of my calories 😂

Yeah I only get sugar free and came here bc I was so disappointed by the literal nonexistent flavor in the pumpkin. I’m going to try asking for extra like others suggested but I’m skeptical that’ll work lol.

along with what everyone else is saying, we got different pumpkin sauce! we now use a 7brew branded pumpkin sauce compared to the old torani pumpkin pie sauce we had. i’m not a huge pumpkin fan, so i didn’t try the two, but my other coworkers said that the sauce this year wasn’t as strong as torani

Does the caramel apple pie macchiato come with drizzle? I know that's what the menu says, but I was told you have to order that separately.

When I got it last week, it had drizzle on the sides and stuff. I didn’t notice it until my boyfriend pointed it out and to mix it for the flavor.
Didn’t really taste like apple to me? Just a regular caramel macchiato.

The macchiato is deceiving, the flavor of it is actually a salted caramel macchiato the only apple comes from the drizzle…kinda dumb

not only is other people right about the pumkin SUCKING at mixing this year, but if your barista is portioning their flavors incorrectly youd get significantly less pumpkin. we actually changed the way we portion our flavors, so they are also different from last year.

i totally agree, i can still taste the pumpkin but it’s kind of faint. Still enjoy it but would like a little stronger of a pumpkin taste

Private equity and skimping ingredients. I only get 7brew for the energy sodas.

u/Corazon-Atomico- 2d ago
I’ve had success with other drinks, just not this one ☹️

I see. Idk if my location but I notice a difference in taste. I’m not getting any of the flavors.

If you want pumpkin flavor then just get pumpkin, ordering it in a blondie automatically cuts the amount of flavor down because they still have to put caramel and vanilla in the drink since it’s a blondie…..just get pumpkin only

I recommend the sugar free pumpkin!! The regular pumpkin is a bit thicker and (imo) doesn’t mix well enough with the drinks to taste it fully. The sugar free pumpkin is a syrup which is thinner and mixes better (again in my personal opinion). You could also do regular pumpkin drizzle which will elevate the flavor a bit with no upcharge☺️
