Before You Order: How Dutch Bros Really Works

Ordering at Dutch Bros for the first time can feel like a test you did not study for. The board is full of names — Golden Eagle, Annihilator, Double Rainbro, 9-1-1 — and the line behind you is not slowing down. This page is your study sheet: the complete menu, category by category, with the price and calories of every item.

One thing to know: almost nothing here is a fixed recipe. Nearly every drink is a build — a base like espresso, cold brew, Rebel, tea or lemonade, plus your choice of syrups, sauces and milk, served hot, iced or blended. That is why one drink name can taste different on every visit, and why prices are set by region — the figures here are the going rate at most stands in 2026.

And a warning that saves money and calories: the sizes are not what you expect. Hot drinks run 12, 16 and 20 oz. Iced and blended drinks run 16, 24 and 32 oz — a medium iced is half again as big as a medium hot. Kids drinks come in a single 10 oz size.

Dutch Bros Prices at a Glance

Add-ons are where an order quietly grows: an extra espresso shot, an oat or almond milk swap and a Soft Top each run about $0.50–$0.75. Sugar-free syrup swaps, half-sweet orders and ice changes are free.

Seasonal Drinks

The seasonal board changes through the year and carries the flavours everyone is talking about. Right now that means pumpkin, cookie butter and a berry line built for the cold drinks. Seasonal prices run a little above the everyday menu, and these drinks do disappear — order them while they are here.

Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée

Cookie Butter

Autumn Berry

A dark blackberry-raspberry mix made for the fruity side of the menu.

Dutch Bros Coffee

Coffee is where this company started in 1992, and Dutch Bros coffee still anchors the whole menu. Most signature drinks are breves — espresso with half-and-half instead of milk — which makes them richer than a normal latte. Everything in this section can be ordered hot or blended as well (the hot versions are listed further down), and almost every syrup has a free sugar-free version: just say “SF” before the flavour.

Dutch Faves

The famous names — start here on a first visit.

Protein Coffee

Protein milk turns a coffee run into a light meal.

Lattes

Mochas

Cold Brew

Steeped, smooth and quietly the strongest coffee here — a medium cold brew carries about 226 mg of caffeine, more than double a medium latte.

---

Blended Freeze

A Freeze is Dutch Bros coffee put through a blender — espresso, milk and ice whipped halfway to a milkshake. These are the heaviest drinks on the menu, so treat them as an occasion.

Rebel Energy Drinks

Rebel is the house energy drink, built at the window with fruit syrups and served iced or blended — never from a can. A medium Rebel carries about 114 mg of caffeine, similar to a medium latte and well under a cold brew; what Rebels really sell is flavour. Blended Rebels are all $5.25, iced Rebels $5.45, and most sit at 240 Cal unless noted. Each flavour below covers both versions.

Blended Rebel

Iced Rebel

Rebel Zero Sugar

Myst Energy Refreshers

Myst is the newer, lighter energy line: sparkling plant-powered caffeine with electrolytes and antioxidants, most flavours under 100 calories in a medium. Every Myst is $5.50.

Lemonade

The Rebel syrup library on a fresh lemonade base instead — caffeine-free, iced or blended, same prices and calories either way.

Iced Lemonade

Blended Lemonade

Iced Tea

The most underrated section here: both teas take fruit syrups beautifully and undercut the coffees on price. Every tea is $4.95.

Green Tea

Black Tea

Chai Tea

Spiced chai with milk, hot or iced, and happy to take the coffee flavours too — there is even a Golden Eagle chai.

Iced Chai

Hot Chai

Hot Coffee

Every iced coffee has a hot counterpart, at the same prices and calories unless noted.

The Dutch Bros Secret Menu

There is no official secret menu — customers invented it, one combination at a time, and the stands kept saying yes. Because every drink is a build from the syrup library, almost anything you can describe can be made. Order by name first; if the broista has not heard it, read out the recipe — base, flavours, topping — and you will get your drink. The names worth knowing: Galaxy Fish (Rebel with strawberry, lime and passion fruit), Shark Attack (now on the main board — blue raspberry, coconut, lime, pomegranate drizzle), White Zombie (white chocolate and vanilla coffee, excellent iced with Soft Top), Bob Marley (a Freeze with strawberry, banana and coconut tones), Stop Light and Vampire Slayer Rebels. Secret builds have no published nutrition, so if you are counting, work from the base drink’s figures on this page and add your extras.

Nutrition and Caffeine: What the Numbers Really Say

Calories alone do not tell the Dutch Bros story, because the same drink name can be two different drinks. Here are the full published figures — calories, sugar and caffeine — for a medium of the six most-ordered drinks:

Three caffeine facts worth memorising. First, small and medium espresso drinks carry the same caffeine — both are built on a double shot (about 95 mg); only the large steps up to four shots. Sizing up buys milk and syrup, not buzz. Second, the energy branding misleads: a medium Rebel (114 mg) is milder than a medium Cold Brew (226 mg) or Nitro Cold Brew (295 mg). Third, the true heavyweights are the big Freezes — a large 9-1-1 Freeze reaches about 440 mg, above the 400 mg daily level the FDA cites as a general guide for healthy adults. One more honest note: a single drink name can span a huge range — a Golden Eagle is about 320 calories as a small iced espresso build and up to 900 as a large Freeze. The name does not tell you; the build does, which is why this page lists every version separately.

Allergens

Of the 151 items Dutch Bros publishes nutrition for, 93 contain milk — the default espresso build is a breve, half-and-half rather than milk — and 26 contain soy, which hides in Soft Top, cookie butter and some sugar-free sauces. Tree nuts arrive through almond milk and hazelnut syrups, and every food item contains egg, milk, soy and wheat. Most drinks contain no gluten ingredients, but stands are not allergen-free facilities: shared equipment and preparation areas mean cross-contact is always possible. If you have a severe allergy, check the official guide and ask at the stand before ordering.

Dutch Bros Near Me: Locations and Hours

Searching for a Dutch Bros near you is easy: the chain runs more than 1,100 drive-thru shops across 25 states, concentrated in Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and Texas, and expanding steadily east. Use the official store locator or the Dutch Bros app to find the nearest stand, its hours and whether it offers Order Ahead. Most shops open early and close late — typically 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM Sunday to Thursday, and until 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday — with reduced hours on major holidays: a short morning shift on Thanksgiving Day, an early close on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day is the one day stands close altogether. Because Dutch Bros is a drive-thru rather than a café, there is usually no seating and often no published phone number; the app is the reliable source for your local shop.

Dutch Bros vs Starbucks and Dunkin

The short version: Dutch Bros gives you more cold drink for your money and deeper customisation than either rival, a stronger cold brew than both, and a far smaller food menu than either. Prices on a like-for-like specialty drink generally sit below Starbucks and above the cheapest Dunkin options.

Rewards and How to Order

Dutch Rewards runs through the free app: earn points on every dollar, get a free drink on your birthday, and receive early access to seasonal launches. Order Ahead in the same app lets you skip the speaker entirely — set up an account, choose your shop, build your drink, pay, and collect at the window. In person or in the app, order in this sequence and you will sound like a regular: size, then temperature, then the drink name, then your customisations — “medium iced Golden Eagle, half sweet” lands perfectly every time. Payment is flexible: cash, major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and the app are accepted across the chain.

Dutch Bros Stock: The Company Behind the Cups

Part of why this menu keeps growing is that Dutch Bros is a public growth company, and a lot of readers land here looking for Dutch Bros stock as much as for drinks. The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BROS, after an IPO on 15 September 2021 that priced at $23 a share. Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, the business runs two sides — company-operated shops, and franchising with its fees and product sales — and its story with investors has always been expansion: from one Oregon pushcart to more than a thousand shops, with new stands opening every month. That growth is exactly why the seasonal board rotates so often and why new lines like Myst appear. This page is a menu guide, not investment advice, and share prices move daily — check a live quote and the company’s investor filings if you are researching BROS as an investment.

About Dutch Bros — and How This Guide Is Built

Dutch Bros was founded in 1992 in Grants Pass, Oregon, by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, who left the family dairy farm and set up a pushcart with a double-head espresso machine. The handcrafted drinks, the drive-thru format and the famously friendly “broistas” did the rest. A note on our numbers, because a menu page should show its working: the nutrition and caffeine figures here come from the official nutritional information Dutch Bros publishes for its menu; the prices are compiled from observed menus across markets, because the company publishes no national price list — allow roughly $0.25–$0.75 either way in pricier or cheaper regions. Where the official data does not publish a figure, this page says the calories vary rather than guessing. We are an independent guide, not affiliated with Dutch Bros.

Kids Drinks — and the Cheapest Ways to Order

For younger passengers there is a proper kids line in the small 10 oz size: the Mini Frost (a small blended frost, about $2.50 — also the cheapest blended drink on the menu), the Not-So-Hot (a warm, drinkable-temperature cocoa) and kids cocoas and smoothies, most between $2.50 and $3.50. If your own order needs to stay cheap, the rules from the prices above are simple. The cheapest coffee is a small Americano at around $3.00, and a small hot or iced tea matches it as the cheapest drink overall; a Muffin Top at about $2.00 is the cheapest item in the building. The smartest saving, though, is a category swap: the fruit syrups in a Rebel are the same syrups used on the tea line, so a medium Double Rainbro Tea costs about $4.50 against $6.50 for the Rebel version of the same flavour — you give up the energy base and keep two dollars. Add to that the free moves — sugar-free swaps, half-sweet, no Soft Top — and use your Rewards properly (redeeming at 325 points buys a large drink, noticeably better value than the 250-point medium), and a daily habit can cost closer to $15 a week than $45 without ordering a single drink you like less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Word

A Dutch Bros menu this size rewards the people who read it once, properly. You now know the builds, the real sizes, where the caffeine and the calories hide, which drinks the regulars actually order, and how to ask for any of it without freezing at the speaker. Start with a Golden Eagle if you drink coffee, a Double Rainbro if you want energy, a Myst or a zero-sugar Rebel if you are keeping it light, and a Freeze when the day deserves one — then make it yours: half-sweet, sugar-free, an extra shot, a different milk. That is all the secret menu ever was. See you at the window.
