Caffeine for a Cause: Supporting Healing Hoof Steps
Proceeds from the October 9-11 pay-what-you-want weekend went to Healing Hoof Steps, a Crestview, Florida nonprofit that offers equine-assisted mental health services and an adaptive riding program. GetTheCoast reported that its mental health program is aimed mainly at veterans and their families, and that it serves about 150 people a week. That event is over, but you can still learn about the group through its own channels.
Where Exactly Is This 7 Brew?
The stand is at 801 Beal Parkway Northwest, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547. GetTheCoast reported that it sits on the northbound side of Beal Parkway, aimed at morning commuters heading toward Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, and Crestview-area workplaces. 7 Brew’s page gives directions from Choctawhatchee High School, about 1.4 miles away: turn right onto Racetrack Rd. NW, left onto Gibson Rd., right onto Fetting Ave., then right onto Beal Pkwy. NW, and the stand will be on your right.

Beal Parkway vs. Eglin Parkway: Fort Walton Beach’s Two 7 Brews
This is the city’s second 7 Brew. 7 Brew’s directory lists the first at 44 Eglin Parkway NE, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548, the former Jimmy John’s building, per GetTheCoast’s August 2024 report. Make sure you pick the right one for the free drinks.
| Detail | New stand | Existing stand |
|---|---|---|
| Address | 801 Beal Parkway NW, 32547 | 44 Eglin Parkway NE, 32548 |
| Building | Modular stand built in Arkansas, shipped in three pieces | Retrofit of an existing building |
| Target traffic | Northbound morning commuters toward Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field and Crestview | Beachgoers and tourists heading south |
| Grand opening events | Oct 9-24, per official flyer | Not part of this schedule |
The building and traffic details come from a March 2026 GetTheCoast report. That same report quoted Emma Dewitt, director of field marketing for 7 Crew Enterprises, saying the first Fort Walton Beach store “is always packed.”
Jobs and Staffing
The March 2026 report said the stand would create about 50 jobs, with everyone except the manager part-time and many staff working 10 to 20 hours a week. It said 12 to 15 people work at once during the 7 to 9 AM rush, with six to eight outside as runners. 7 Brew’s hiring link for this stand points to the 7 Crew careers site, the same one GetTheCoast listed for applications.
What to Order When It Opens
7 Brew’s Fort Walton Beach page lists four local favorites: a Strawberry Smoothie with Whipped Cream, a Blondie with Whipped Cream and Caramel Drizzle, an Ocean Breeze 7 Energy with Cold Foam, and a Georgia Peach Green Tea. GetTheCoast also reported that the Cookie Butter Breve and Banana Bread Mocha, once secret menu items, are now permanent. Browse the full menu on our 7 Brew menu guide. The opening also falls in the middle of 7 Brew’s October promotions: try the new Frankenchai Matcha Latte, add the $2 Protein Boost to any drink, or save a stop for the Halloween Fill-A-Tray deal of four medium drinks for $17 on October 31.
