7Brew's New Drive-Thru Coffee Spot in Middletown

0:00It's April 3rd, welcome to Hartford News today powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. A drive-through coffee spot from the fast-expanding Sevenbrue chain is eyeing a spot in Middletown on Boston Road. The plan hits 733 Washington Street and 35 Boston Road, turning an underused lot into a quick-served setup with no indoor seating or food prep. Sevenbrue's blowing up nationwide with over 600 locations and they're already planted in Wallingford and Vernon here in Connecticut. This small format joint keeps that high-volume drive-through vibe going strong. The redevelopment swaps out old residential vibes for something that fits right into the mixed-use commercial zone around it. Locals could dig the convenience, breathing new life into a spot that's been sitting idle. Details include a prefab building around 510 square feet, a detached cooler. Two drive-through lanes plus parking and landscaping upgrades. Applicant DTB Middletown LLC put it all together for the city's review.
