7 Brew Coffee Drive-Thru Under Construction on Genesee Street

ONEIDA, NY — Construction is underway on a new 7 Brew Coffee drive-thru at 216 Genesee Street, following approval from the City of Oneida's Planning Commission / Zoning Board of Appeals.

The project, submitted by Brew Team NY, LLC, went before the board at a public hearing held June 9, 2026, seeking a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review for the property, located in a C-Commercial zoning district under Tax Map Number 38.57-1-3. The site previously housed a Cost Cutters salon.

According to the city's public notice, the approved plans include a drive-through-only coffee stand, a remote cooler/dry storage structure, canopies and drive lanes, parking and landscaping, stormwater improvements, and signage. No food will be prepared on site — 7 Brew's menu is limited to coffee, tea, smoothies, energy drinks, and prepackaged snacks.

Founded in Arkansas in 2017, 7 Brew has grown to more than 777 locations nationwide, with 18 currently open in New York. The chain has said it plans to bring dozens more locations to upstate New York in the coming years.

No opening date has been announced. CNY Online News will update this story as more details become available.
