First time at a Dutch Bros. It's a tiny place that is drive thru or walk up only. No seating inside.
I'm very baffled by their name compared to their "look". With their name and logo I was expecting an old fashioned type of place. This is not so.
I pulled up to see the menu and was surprised to read the name of their drinks. "The annihilator" and "dbl torture". I noticed a soft techno beat coming through, what I thought were, speakers outside.
I placed my order with a very well caffeinated, perky, young man and pulled ahead. When I reached the window I found the music was being blared from the inside. 2 guys in their 20's were busily preparing drinks and chatting up their customers. I didn't say much being that I was hungover. My barista tried very hard to strike up casual convo with me but I just wasn't feeling it. I would have appreciated it on any other day.
The young man finished my drink then insisted I taste it to make sure I liked it. Nice touch. It was AMAZEBALLS. I got the frozen white chocolate mocha. Kind of tasted like a chocolate malt. There wasn't a strong coffee after taste like you get with Starbucks. After I told the barista it was incredible he suggested something else similar to try next time.
I will for sure be back. Probably twice a week. It's a mile from my house. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the price. They have low overhead with a building that size and their drinks cost the same as Starbucks. I would have loved to see a medium drink under $4. But, they do have a punch card which gives a free drink for every 10 stamps and Tuesday is double stamp day. For me that will only save $5 a month but, it's better than nothing. The delicious coffee will definitely make me a regular though.
