German Chocolate – A Coconut & Caramel Mocha Worth Savoring

When you think of coffee indulgence, your mind might jump to a rich mocha or a velvety caramel latte. But at 7 Brew, there’s one drink that blends both of those flavors with a tropical twist—the German Chocolate. Inspired by the classic cake of the same name, this drink layers chocolate, caramel, and coconut into a creamy coffee base that fans can’t get enough of.

What Is the German Chocolate Drink?

The German Chocolate at 7 Brew is part of the brand’s “Seven Originals” lineup—signature drinks that helped define the menu’s personality. This particular creation is a mocha base enhanced with coconut syrup and caramel syrup, topped with whipped cream if you want the full desert experience.

It’s not just for those with a sweet tooth. The balance between rich chocolate and the smooth nuttiness of coconut makes it appealing to anyone who appreciates layered flavors. And thanks to its customization options, it’s easy to adjust the sweetness, milk type, and even caffeine level to your liking.

A Flavor Breakdown

At its core, the German Chocolate is made of:

• Espresso – The bold backbone of the drink, pulling everything together.
  
• Mocha (chocolate sauce) – Adds depth and a familiar cocoa richness.
  
• Coconut syrup – Brings a light, tropical sweetness reminiscent of German chocolate cake frosting.
  
• Caramel syrup – Enhances the sweetness and adds buttery warmth.
  
• Milk or half-and-half – Creates the creamy texture; plant-based options available.
  
• Optional toppings – Whipped cream, coconut flakes, or chocolate drizzle for extra flair.
  

How It’s Served

One of the biggest appeals of the German Chocolate drink is its versatility. You can enjoy it:

• Hot – Perfect for cool mornings or when you want comfort in a cup.
  
• Iced – Refreshing yet indulgent, ideal for warm days.
  
• Blended – A frozen treat that’s part coffee, part milkshake.
  

Each serving style gives the flavors a slightly different profile—hot brings out the chocolate richness, iced makes the coconut more pronounced, and blended turns the whole experience into a dessert.
