Dutch Bros runs more than 1,000 drive-thru stands across the United States, and its menu works differently from a normal coffee shop: drinks are built from bases and flavors, sizes change with temperature, and some of the most popular items are not printed anywhere. This page collects the questions that come up again and again, answered in one place and kept current for 2026.

Food & Kids

Food and Kids Drinks FAQs

Does Dutch Bros have food?

Not a full food menu. Dutch Bros is a drinks chain, so there are no kitchens and no cooked meals. Most stands stock a small grab-and-go selection: muffin tops, cookies, coffee cake and granola or protein bars. A few locations test hot breakfast items like burritos and sandwiches, but availability is the exception, not the rule. See the full breakdown on our Dutch Bros food menu page.

Does Dutch Bros sell food at every location?

No. The baked goods and snacks are stocked by most stands, but the exact selection varies by location, and hot breakfast items exist only at select shops. If food matters for your trip, check with your local stand before you go.

Does Dutch Bros have kids drinks?

Yes. Dutch Bros has a whole range of caffeine-free kids drinks: Frosts (blended shakes), smoothies, flavored steamers, hot cocoa and Not-So-Hots, which are warm flavored milk drinks served at a kid-safe temperature. Kids drinks come in a smaller 10 oz size at most stands.

Is there an official Dutch Bros kids menu?

There is no separate printed kids menu on the board, but broistas build kids drinks from the regular menu: any Frost, smoothie or steamer can be made in the kids size, and most flavored drinks can be made caffeine-free. Just ask for the kids version when you order.

What is the best Dutch Bros drink for kids?

The Cotton Candy Frost is the classic pick, with strawberry smoothies and the Not-So-Hot close behind. All three are caffeine-free, come in the 10 oz kids size, and can be made less sweet on request.

Menu & Drinks

Menu and Drinks FAQs

What kind of drinks does Dutch Bros serve?

Espresso coffee (lattes, mochas, breves and Americanos), cold brew, Rebel energy drinks, blended Freezes and Frosts, chai, teas, lemonades, smoothies, sodas and hot cocoa. The full list with prices is on our Dutch Bros menu homepage.

What is the most popular Dutch Bros drink?

The Golden Eagle: espresso and half-and-half with vanilla and caramel, finished with a caramel drizzle. It is the best-selling drink in the company and the one broistas recommend first. It costs $4.75 for a Small, $5.75 for a Medium and $6.75 for a Large at most locations.

What is a Dutch Bros Rebel?

Rebel is Dutch Bros’ own energy drink, sold only at Dutch Bros. It comes iced or blended in dozens of fruit flavor combinations, with 70-151 mg of caffeine depending on size, and there is a sugar free version. The Electric Berry and Aftershock are the most ordered flavors.

Does Dutch Bros have a secret menu?

Yes, an unofficial one. The secret menu is a collection of fan-created drinks that are not printed on the board but that broistas will build if you know the flavor combination. Famous examples include the Bob Marley, White Zombie and Unicorn Blood. Our secret menu guide lists the combinations and how to order them.

Can I customize my drink at Dutch Bros?

Almost everything. You can change the size, temperature, sweetness level, milk, number of espresso shots and flavors on nearly any drink, and add toppings like Soft Top, drizzle or sprinkles. Customization is the core of how the menu works.

Prices, Sizes & Payment

Prices, Sizes and Payment FAQs

How much do Dutch Bros drinks cost?

Most drinks fall between about $3 and $9. Classic coffee drinks like the Golden Eagle run $4.75 to $6.75 by size, Rebels and Freezes cost a little more, and plain teas and Americanos are the cheapest way in. Prices vary slightly by stand and state.

What sizes does Dutch Bros have?

Small, Medium and Large, and the ounces depend on temperature. Hot drinks are 12, 16 and 24 fl oz. Iced and blended drinks are 16, 24 and 32 fl oz because of the ice. Kids drinks come in a 10 oz size. The full chart is in our Dutch Bros sizes guide.

Do Dutch Bros prices vary by location?

Yes. Stands are individually operated, so the same drink can cost slightly more in one city than another. The prices in this guide are the typical prices collected across locations; the board at your stand is the final word.

Does Dutch Bros have Apple Pay?

At most locations, yes. Most stands accept Apple Pay and Google Pay at the window alongside cards and cash, and the Dutch Bros app has its own built-in payment method, Dutch Pass. A small number of older stands may be card-and-cash only, so it never hurts to have a backup.

Does Dutch Bros have promo codes?

Not in the traditional sense. There is no code box at the window or in the app for drinks, and codes listed on coupon sites, including the famous DUTCH20, do not work for drinks. Dutch Bros runs its discounts through the app instead: a free welcome drink, points and a free birthday drink. Details are in our promo code guide.

Ordering & Locations

Ordering and Locations FAQs

What are Dutch Bros hours?

Most locations open at 5:00 AM and close at 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM, with some stands staying open later on weekends. Hours are set per location, so check your stand in the app for exact times. Our hours guide explains the patterns, including holidays.

Can I order Dutch Bros ahead?

Yes. The Dutch Bros app offers Order Ahead at most locations: build your drink, pay in the app, and pick it up at the drive-thru or walk-up window at your chosen time, from about 5 minutes to 1 hour ahead.

Does Dutch Bros deliver?

Dutch Bros does not run its own delivery service, and the app is pickup only. Many locations can be ordered through DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub instead, with delivery fees set by those platforms. Our delivery guide compares the options.

How many Dutch Bros locations are there?

1,299 stands across 28 states, concentrated in the West and South. California has the most with 254 stands, followed by Texas with 234, then Oregon and Arizona. See the state-by-state breakdown in our locations guide.

Is Dutch Bros only in the United States?

Yes. Every Dutch Bros location is in the US. The chain was founded in 1992 in Grants Pass, Oregon, by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, and it has expanded state by state ever since.

Rewards, Cards & Nutrition

Rewards, Gift Cards and Nutrition FAQs

How does Dutch Rewards work?

You earn 3 points for every $1 spent when you pay with Dutch Pass or give your phone number. 250 points gets a free medium drink and 325 points gets a free drink of your choice. Points expire after 180 days. New members get a free medium drink just for joining, and members get a free birthday drink every year.

Do Dutch Bros gift cards expire?

No. Dutch Bros gift cards never expire and carry no fees. Digital cards are sold in amounts from $10 to $100, physical cards at stands can be loaded with $5 to $100, and cards can be added to the app to earn rewards points on purchases. Our gift card guide covers balances and reloading.

How many calories are in Dutch Bros drinks?

It depends entirely on the drink. An unsweetened tea or an Americano sits near zero to 20 calories, a Golden Eagle runs 320-650 by size, and a large blended Freeze can pass 900. Full numbers for every category are in our nutrition facts guide.

Does Dutch Bros have sugar free drinks?

Yes. Most syrups come in a sugar free version, there are dedicated zero sugar added drinks like the sugar free Rebel and zero sugar protein lattes, and almost any drink can be ordered half sweet. Our sugar free menu guide lists the options.

Is the Dutch Bros straw code real?

No. The idea that broistas hand out colored straws as secret messages (pink for cute, blue for rude, and so on) is a viral internet myth. Dutch Bros has never confirmed any code, and employees consistently say straws are grabbed at random. It is fun folklore, nothing more. Our straw code guide tells the full story.
