Does 7 Leaves Have a Secret Menu?

The 7 Leaves secret menu is all the rage across social media lately and for good reason. While not officially created by 7 Leaves Café, most baristas will happily make the drinks for you as long as you arrive with the full ingredients list and customization instructions. Some secret drinks have even become so popular that you can just order them by name. 

However, it is important to note that there are many regional differences when it comes to the 7 Leaves secret menu. Baristas at different locations might make slight changes to certain drinks and some locations may not have the ingredients you need to make the hidden menu item. While you may not get the drink exactly as described on the secret menu, as long as you are patient and polite, there’s a good chance you can enjoy all the fun and tasty creations listed below.

11 Best 7 Leaves Secret Menu Items

1. Strawberry Sunset

Strawberry Sunset is just as summery and refreshing as it sounds. This drink is an official summer menu item but you can order it any time of year thanks to the 7 Leaves secret menu. Strawberry Sunset, also called Strawberry Passion, includes passion fruit, rose hips, strawberries and hibiscus for a revitalizing drink that will cool you off in the hotter months. 

To order, you should simply be able to ask your barista for a Strawberry Sunset or Strawberry Passion by name. If your barista hasn’t heard of those names, you can ask for half Strawberry Hibiscus and half Sunset Passion. You can also add aloe vera or fun boba.

2. Tea Rex

If you aren’t a fan of super surgery drinks, this 7 Leaves secret menu item is the beverage for you. The bright green Tea Rex is a mix of matcha green tea and mung bean. The mung bean paste is a healthy superfood and a great way to add protein, amino acids and antioxidants to your drink. It adds a rich and nutty taste to the floral and light matcha tea, resulting in a satisfying and healthy beverage. 

If you enjoy a little extra sweetness, add custard to this drink. To order the Tea Rex, ask your barista for it by name or ask for a Japanese matcha tea with mung bean blended in, plus the custard if desired.

3. Love Cream 

Love Cream is a sweet and creamy concoction made with lavender milk tea and a drizzle of caramel syrup. The subtle floral notes of the lavender tea mixed with the rich sweetness of the caramel combine into a delightfully creamy drink. You can order this drink by asking for a jasmine milk tea with added caramel.

4. Black and Tan

While you’ve likely heard of a Black and Tan at the bar, this 7 Leaves secret menu item isn’t a layered beer with Guinness and pale ale. The 7 Leaves Black and Tan is instead a mix of Vietnamese-style coffee and sweet and creamy jasmine tea. It’s the perfect afternoon pick-me-up with the right levels of caffeine and sugary milk tea. To order, ask for half Vietnamese coffee and half jasmine milk tea.

5. Barney

This cute purple drink is named after everyone’s favorite friendly purple dinosaur. The Barney is a combination of sweet taro milk tea and earthy mung bean milk tea. The Barney also goes by The Maro on the 7 Leaves secret menu, so be sure to try both names out with your barista. If your barista isn't familiar with either name, ask for a drink with half taro milk tea and half mung bean milk tea. Add boba for an extra boost of flavor.

6. Tiger 

If you need a strong caffeine infusion to power you through your day, Tiger is the drink for you. A blend of Vietnamese coffee and spicy Thai tea make up this 7 Leaves secret menu item. The Thai tea has cardamom, vanilla and anise notes, making it aromatic and satisfying.

You can order the Tiger by name, but there are regional variations of this popular secret drink. Some baristas may add hazelnut creamer or espresso. If you want the original Tiger, your best bet is to order half Thai tea and half Vietnamese coffee.

7. The Hulk 

This vibrant green drink gets its name from the Marvel character, The Incredible Hulk. It's made by layering house coffee and mung bean milk tea and is earthy and nutty in flavor. The mung bean is also a great source of protein to support muscle growth, so it is probably Hulk-approved! To order, try asking for The Hulk by name or order a mung bean tea mixed with a coffee of your choice. You can also add whipped sea cream topping for a sweeter and more luxurious beverage.

A Dirty Black is a black coffee spiked with matcha green tea and topped with sea cream. This unique combination results in an earthy yet tangy drink that makes for an uncommon drinking experience. If you’d like it sweeter, add custard to the mix. This 7 Leaves secret menu item is lesser-known, so you might not be able to order it by name. To try it, ask for half black coffee with sea cream and half Japanese matcha tea.

11. Silver Jasmine 

If you enjoy the floral notes of freshly brewed jasmine tea but want to avoid excess sugar, give the Silver Jasmine a try. This 7 leaves secret menu item is a riff off the sea cream jasmine but with more milk added to cut the sweetness. To try this delicious beverage, ask your barista for a jasmine milk tea with extra milk, all topped with sea cream.
