A distinct coffee culture that offers more than just your morning brew but an entire experience is thriving on the sunny West Coast. The beloved Dutch Bros has evolved into a haven for coffee lovers where imagination is unrestricted. This piece invites you to explore a world of flavorful combinations and distinctive blends, highlighting the exceptional creations that have won over customers’ palates and hearts. Coffee has been turned into an art form by Dutch Bros. Along with visually stunning handcrafted beverages that are equally pleasing to the eye and the palate, their menu offers a wealth of classic favorites. We’ll delve into the specialties, seasonal treats, and possibly some undiscovered treasures that have made the coffee chain a well-liked hangout.
Picture Perfect Dutch Freeze
The Picture Perfect Dutch Freeze is an iced blended coffee drink with drizzled chocolate and caramel sauce and topped with fresh whip cream. The Dutch Freeze drinks are popular because there are so many flavors to choose from. They are blended coffee drinks that come in flavors like caramel, vanilla, and coconut. The Picture Perfect is the most popular Dutch Freeze. Caramel and chocolate are drizzled around the cup so it’s visible from outside the cup, perfect for all those Instagram posts. You can also ask for any drink to be “Picture Perfect,” and they will drizzle chocolate and caramel on top.
Birthday Cake Dutch Frost
Birthday Cake Dutch Frost is the perfect drink for your birthday or any day! The Birthday Cake blends the decadent flavors of Almond Roca and white chocolate. First, almond Roca syrup is blended with creamy white chocolate sauce and premium vanilla ice cream, then topped with whip cream and multi-colored sprinkles. The Dutch Frost drinks are non-caffeinated milkshakes. I love to pick one of these up for a late-night dessert in the summertime. They don’t contain coffee so kids can order one too. The Dutch Frosts come in many flavors as well, but this is a favorite.
Cotton Candy Dutch Freeze
Dutch Bros themselves equate the Cotton Candy Dutch Freeze to a day at the fair in drink form, and they’re not lying. I love the flavors of blue raspberry swirled together with white chocolate and whip cream. This drink is a mixture of sweet and tart with a rich and creamy taste. It’s made by blending vanilla ice cream with blue raspberry syrup and white chocolate sauce then topped with whip cream. I love to end a hot, fun-filled day with one of these sweet treats!
Double Rainbro
The Double Rainbro is the ultimate energy booster. Rebel energy drink combined with peach, strawberry, and coconut flavors is the perfect pick-me-up. This is an iced energy drink mixed with strawberry, peach, and coconut syrups. You can also choose to get it blended, which is crushing the ice and all the ingredients together. I love to order this refreshing drink when I’m lagging a bit in the afternoon. The rebel can be made into many drinks, all with different flavor combinations, including a gummy bear rebel that consists of white chocolate, kiwi, and lime.
Golden Eagle Breve
A breve is an espresso drink made with steamed half-and-half. Dutch Bros has reinvented the breve by adding different ingredients into their cappuccinos, such as Irish cream and coconut. The Golden Eagle Breve is a creamy vanilla and caramel drink. The Golden Eagle consists of espresso, half-and-half, vanilla syrup, and caramel syrup. It’s topped with whip cream and drizzled with more caramel sauce. You can get it either iced, hot, or blended. I love to get a hot Golden Eagle on cold winter mornings or an iced Golden Eagle on hot summer days. It’s the perfect drink for any time of year.
Palm Beach Lemonade
Dutch Bros makes a very good signature lemonade that they infuse with different fruity ingredients. Palm Beach Lemonade is their signature lemonade mixed with pomegranate and peach syrups. You can order it iced or blended. The name says it all for this drink. It’s the perfect refresher for a stroll on the beach. Their other popular lemonade flavors include lime and blue raspberry, and strawberry with coconut or pineapple. They are all perfect for cooling off after a day in the sun.
Tropical Tea
What could be better than delicious tea invigorated with a zing of tropical sweetness? Dutch Bros Tropical Tea is tea mixed with passionfruit, coconut, and blue raspberry syrups. You have the choice of either green tea or black tea, and you can order it either iced or hot. Black tea is a great option for those who want a dash of caffeine, but don’t like coffee. Green tea doesn’t have caffeine, but it’s tasty and has health benefits. Dutch Bros has either tea options like passionfruit, peach, strawberry and Double Rainbro. I love to order Tropical Tea while I’m out running errands or visiting with friends. It’s a great addition to my day!
The White Chocolate Annihilator
The Annihilator is chocolatey, nutty, creamy caffeine goodness. This drink is considered a breve which is espresso and half-and-half combined with macadamia nut and white chocolate syrups. It is available in hot, iced, or blended, all equally good. I love to get this as a hot drink. Warm chocolate, nuts, and coffee in a steaming cup on a cold day is the perfect combination. If you order the Grand Canyon, they will add caramel and chocolate milk to your White Chocolate Annihilator.
Cold Mixture Breve
The Cold Mixture is a classic breve with a shot of Irish cream cold brew. Irish Cream is perfect for a breve because it’s sweet and creamy with a hint of vanilla and chocolate. The creaminess from the Irish cream pairs perfectly with espresso and half-and-half. Contrary to the name, the Cold Mixture can be ordered as a hot drink as well. Irish cream is a favorite around the holidays, so it makes sense that you could drink it hot.
Dutch Cocoa
Hot cocoa is the ultimate comfort drink during the winter months. There is nothing quite like a steaming hot cup of cocoa to warm you up while you snuggle by the fireplace. The Dutch Cocoa is their signature chocolate milk steamed with different flavors and they are all delicious. My favorite is their White Chocolate Dutch Cocoa made with, you guessed it, their popular creamy white chocolate sauce and topped with whip cream. Their other flavors include caramel, double chocolate, and vanilla.
French Toast Frost
So their slogan goes, “A Dutch take on a classic shake,” the Dutch Frost is a rich and velvety milkshake drink that comes in many flavor varieties. The French Toast Frost is a favorite amongst social media influencers because it’s supposed to be on the Dutch Bros secret menu. I don’t know how secret it is anymore, but it is delicious. Vanilla ice cream is blended with brown sugar, cinnamon, and white chocolate. It tastes very much like french toast in a cup, only no soggy bread. Also, try the Cinnabon Frost. It’s made with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salted caramel. Tastes just like a cinnamon roll.
White Chocolate Dutch Frost
We’ve heard of vanilla shakes, but what about white chocolate shakes? The White Chocolate Dutch Frost is exactly that. It’s creamy. It’s sweet. It encompasses everything you love about white chocolate in drinkable form. If you’re a fan of white chocolate milkshakes, try ordering the Cake Batter Frost next. It’s made with white chocolate and Almond Roca.
Iced Grand Canyon OG
The Iced Grand Canyon OG is on Dutch Bros secret menu. When you order the OG you will get half coffee, half chocolate milk blended with white chocolate, dark chocolate, and chocolate macadamia nut syrups. This drink is one of my favorites because you can taste the chocolate, coffee, and nuts all mixed. Did I mention there’s chocolate? If you don’t get a chance to come to Dutch Bros very often, put the OG on your “must try” list.
Mango Strawberry Smoothie
The Mango Strawberry Smoothie is the perfect summer drink. Just like the name suggests, this smoothie is a blend of mango and strawberry syrups with crushed iced. If you’re feeling fancy, you can ask to have whip cream and a drizzle of passion fruit syrup on top. Yum. Dutch Bros has several other smoothie flavors like peach, wildberry, and green apple. Out of all the smoothies, the most popular are the mango and wildberry. The other flavors have been accused of being much too sweet. It’s all on your personal preference.
White Zombie Mocha
A White Zombie Mocha is an espresso mixed with chocolate milk and white chocolate sauce. The flavors of white chocolate and vanilla make this drink special. You can order it hot, iced, or blended. There is even a sugar-free option! You can order the White Zombie as chai tea, Dutch cocoa, Freeze, or Frost. If you are looking for similar flavors, try the White Angel. The White Angel is white chocolate, vanilla, and coconut syrups that can be ordered in the same drinks. One of my favorite white chocolate drinks from Dutch Bros is Christmas Morning. It is a white chocolate chai breve, and it is the perfect Christmas drink.
