Dutch Bros doesn't compare to the cappuccino's on my yacht, but Dutch Bros does have many creative and novel drinks. They have a plethora of flavors to choose amongst, so the people that enjoy flavors are flocking to Dutch Bros.

Their drinks are more like dessert. Worse for you than Starbucks, but SO DAMN GOOD. They routinely kill Starbucks in the Pacific Northwest. Sugar free rebel energy drinks and the Golden Eagle are my favorites. Waiting for one to get closer to Anaheim

Dutch bros started as a cart, they brothers left the dairy farm business.

I don’t really drink milk but something about theirs taste different.
I haven’t tried their energy drinks but it’s their own too.

The drinks are bigger and cheaper than Starbucks.

A few locations are starting to sale food items.

But IMO they are the best!

Oh and their cups they sale are way cheaper too!

Dutch Bros has a new location in Laguna Hills (Alicia Pkwy just south of the 5 Freeway).

Cars are lined up on the street just to get into the parking lot to get in the drive thru line.

They have two locations in Fountain Valley now, and they're only about a mile or so apart.

* Magnolia & Talbert - same details with long car lines when they opened, now it's not as crowded and always an easy in & out for a good cup of coffee.

* Magnolia & Warner - haven't been to this one but it's busy as well and has received great reviews.

Just a few examples:

Starbucks - $3.95 for a tall brew
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - $4.50 - $5.50 for a basic brew
McDonalds - $1.99 for any-size cold or hot coffee with the app
Carl's Jr - $3.62 for a small hot coffee
Dunkin Donuts - $2.50 - $3.50 for a small hot coffee


NESCAFÉ CLÁSICO Instant Coffee Dark Roast bottle can make up to 100 (6 ounce) cups for $7.99 at Ralphs.

Learn to make your own coffee. You can't fuck it up. It's like frying an egg, if you can't do that, you have a problem.

I think people like them because they are not Starbucks. I like Coffee Bean and Philz and Alfred for the same reason I like Dutch Bros: It's not Starbucks.

Personally I think Dutch Bros is too sweet for my taste buds. Philz or Alfred is right up my alley though. And I'm getting my own coffee machine installed with privately sourced organic coffee beans, can make hot and cold flavors + matcha. That will soon be my favorite coffee

When Dutch Bros. first came to SoCal. I'd quickly see a location while driving by and automatically think it's the paint company, Dutch Boy Paint, especially with the band of color lines across a blue building. Just thinking how odd that paint would be that high in demand.
An old friend of mine who now lives in Oregon was visiting and remarking how excited to see Dutch Bros. I ask what is it? She reply's," it's Dutch Bros". I ask again,"Yea,but what is it"? She reply's again," it's Dutch Bros". To end the Abbott and Costello Routine. I tell her, "I think they sell paint. Are they a paint company"? She looks at me confused and says no they sell coffee. I then realize saying, "That makes sense".

From my understanding if you like good quality real coffee then you will consider Dutch Bros to be sugar water essentially. I have not been because based on what I read on reddit I feel it is just hype and another sugary coffee-flavored drink.

Amateurs !

Dutch Bros. coffee isn't sweet, unless you order a drink that they add flavorings to it.

Dutch Bros. prides itself in its vast selection of flavorings so that their Barista's can create a drink for anyone's wishes. Read their story (Link Below).

And I'm at Fountain Valley - Magnolia / Talbert around 830 am every morning for my caffeine fix

I was down in Laguna Niguel last week, and went by the Laguna Hills Dutch Bros. to sample their cappuccino's. Not as good as mine, but very good though.

I can't imagine anything being more sweeter than Starbucks, but I guess I will give it a try and report back since so many of you like it. I HATE the feeling of missing out on something! LOL Looks like they have 2 in North County San Diego.
