“Tia was absolutely AMAZING! She took such great care of the entire Indiana Tech Men’s Volleyball team and made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. Even with a whole team to look after, she was incredibly sweet, patient, attentive, and full of positive energy. Her customer service was truly unmatched, and you could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. She went above and beyond, and people like Tia are what make you want to keep coming back to 7 Brew. She deserves all the recognition! 7 Brew is lucky to have her. We love you, Tia! 🧡”

“Was in Defiance last weekend with friends. We were looking for a place to have lunch and I had seen on the Valentine Theater site that Ensign’s was where Maag’s used to be and they had a lot of the same menu. Went there years ago, before 1980, and was pleasantly surprised with the lunch. Had the roast beef, knockers, chips & draft beer. Everything was great and the prices are very reasonable. We all had a good time and my friends were happy that I suggested going here. Keep up the good work!”

Cafe
41 College Place, Defiance
“41 North is mostly catered to the Defiance College students but I do not see why they would not willing serve non students. I am sure they would love the business ahaha. Good drinks with alright prices, I think a $1 price drop for everything would make a much more completive pricing structure. I am given money through the school that I can only really send at 41 North. While I strongly dislike this "munch money", this isn't a review for that. Personally, with the prices as high as they are I could not see myself willing choosing to go here for coffee/food versus it's competitors. The only reason I go here is because they have us college students locked into spending at least $50 a semester here or we lose the money and they get it anyway. Like I said the drinks are good and the prices need work for it to be competitive. 4/5 for quality of the product.”

“Love the food and the smoothies are delicious, BUT at the window the girl was not polite at all and pretty much shoved our food at us and when we went to ask for one more straw she just shuts the window😳 we had to wait for her to come back to the window to ask for one. After getting the straw we got no thank you or anything….just seems like people now a days need to learn basic communication and how to be polite.”
