If you're like me, then you've experienced the unique phenomenon that is Dutch Bros Coffee. It's this little drive-thru coffee stand filled with people who are constantly caffeinating themselves and making your order as complicated as possible.
Then, when they hand it to you through your car window, it's always about 20 degrees too hot for drinking (and yet somehow still delicious).
I mean, what can you expect from a place where there's usually a line wrapped around the building?
A bit about Dutch Bros Coffee
Dutch Bros Coffee is a coffee shop in the United States that specialises in selling iced drinks. It was founded by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma who were inspired to start their own coffee business after working at Starbucks for twelve years.
They opened their first location on October 6, 1992, which has since grown into over 200 locations across five states with an annual revenue of $120 million (DutchBrosCoffee).
At Dutch Bros Coffee you can get anything from hot or cold brews to smoothies and even lattes!
I’ve compiled a list of the best drinks you should try if you visit this popular coffee shop!
10 Best Drinks At Dutch Bros Coffee
Caramel Macchiato
If you love caramel, this is definitely the choice for you. This drink comes with espresso shots combined with steamed milk and vanilla syrup along with some gooey caramel sauce drizzled on top. Yum!
Caffe Mocha
Because sometimes chocolate just hits the spot, the caffe mocha is a great choice. You can choose between white or dark chocolate mocha, and they'll mix in some java chips for that extra "umph."
Cocomo
This coconut mocha is just as rich and decadent as it sounds. The coconut syrup mixed with chocolate milk and bold espresso make this coffee drink all kinds of delicious while the espresso shots give you a caffeine boost when you need it most. Perfect if you're looking for an afternoon pick me up!
Double Torture
If you are feeling particularly ambitious one day, order yourself a double torture! It's made up of two shots of espresso combined with vanilla syrup, chocolate milk and whipped cream, resulting in a fantastic treat.
The White Chocolate Annihilator
Tired of drinking hot coffee? Well if that's the case then the Annihilator is the drink for you! Dutch Bros can make the Annihilator hot, iced and blended, perfect for all year round! It’s a mix of strong espresso, half and half and chocolate macadamia nut syrup! This may be the best iced drink on the menu.
White Chocolate Mocha
If would rather have chocolate instead of caramel sauce, try out this yummy mocha beverage . Made with white chocolate mocha sauce combined with java chips and whole milk, this may be one of the best chocolate drinks offered at Dutch Bros Coffee.
Cookie Dough Biscotti Frappe
Looking for something with a bit of a dessert vibe to it? This frappe is perfect if you are in the mood for something sweet. It's made up of coffee, biscotti, vanilla syrup, and milk all blended together into an icy delicious treat that can be enjoyed anytime!
Hazelnut Truffle Mocha
One drink you have got to try is the double hazelnut truffle mocha! Made up of bold espresso with steamed milk, hazelnut sauce and caramel drizzle, this beverage can definitely help you get through bulky reading or an easy class.
Golden Eagle
Are you feeling a bit under the weather? The chai tea is perfect if you are looking for something to warm you up. It consists of chai tea breve (half and half) with vanilla syrup and caramel sauce + caramel sauce drizzle, then topped with whipped cream. The best thing is that if you want you can have the coffee version of it, they just replace chai tea for espresso!
Kicker
Not only does this delicious drink taste great, but the pretty color makes it Instagram worthy! If you are planning on having friends over or just want something fun to drink during your study time, this is definitely one of the best choices.

The Dutch Bros Secret Menu
Aside from coffee and tea drinks, Dutch Bros also offers other drinks that will give you a boost, like smoothies, sodas, and teas.
Dutch Bros Coffee is a coffee chain in the United States that operates in mainly Western states — California, Oregon, Washington — and in Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada.
They also sell smoothies and tea (hot and iced), in addition to frozen drinks like mochas and blended ice coffees. And they have a secret menu for fans of their drinks who know how to ask for them.
Dutch Bros follows a franchise model with business opportunities available throughout the US, offering "franchise territories" rather than individual stores. In 2000, there were 19 Dutch Bros stores along with 25 independently owned franchises which have been converted into Dutch Bros locations today.
The company produces its own line of energy drinks under the Dutch Bros. name, which it sells to other franchisees and through its own stores.
Dutch Bros' business model is based on the "Pimp My Ride" TV series, in which host Xzibit upgrades vehicles for people who cannot afford one of their choices. Dutch Bros employees are required to upgrade customers' drink orders by adding extra shots or replacing coffee with higher-quality espresso (what they call a "supercharged" beverage).
Final Thoughts
Dutch Bros Coffee is a coffee chain that has grown in popularity with the youth of America. However, they are not only popular for their delicious iced drinks but also because they have some pretty interesting flavors to choose from!
