Dutch Bros Coffee

Sweet overly indulgent coffee we meet again. & This time with a fall twist. I've been getting Dutch Bros at least once every time I've gone to Vegas in recent trips so I figured the Palm Desert location would be perfect to get my fix once again. Solid trip Dutch Bros experience with the usual great service & tasty drink.

ITEM'S ORDERED:

Obviously had to get the fall drink, Iced Caramel Pumpkin Brulee. With an added espresso shot.

TASTE:

Described as Pumpkin & Salted Caramel w/ Soft Top, Pumpkin Drizzle & Raw Sugar.

It definitely sounds like a sugary sweet dessert more than a "true" coffee. But honestly that's kinda what I come to Dutch Bros in a way. In general I'd say I did enjoy the drink & it's at the top of my list compared to other fall drinks out there. My main critique being I'd like to taste the salted caramel & pumpkin flavors even more.

From the first sip it's definitely sweet like most Dutch drinks but you can taste the more subtle pumpkin flavour (little cinnamon spice) & the caramel. The Salted Caramel does come off more as just caramel (& not salted) in my opinion. The addition of the raw sugar adds a nice textural component & makes the drink that much more decadent. As does the soft top which is kinda like a sweet cold foam.

I think the best way to order this drink would be to ask for a little extra pumpkin drizzle as well as salted caramel, along with 2 extra shots of espresso. That way the "fall flavors" would be more highlighted without losing the coffee aspect.

SERVICE:

I was very pleased with service with this Dutch Bros, just as I've always been in Las Vegas. The guy who took my order at the window was friendly & personable.

Just like all my past Dutch experiences the drive thru was very busy, so I decided to give ordering at the walk up window a try. It kinda did take awhile though, but I do think the group who ordered before me bought like hella customized "tik tok" inspired drinks.

LOCATION & PARKING:

They are located off Jefferson St, in Jefferson Square, pretty much adjacent to CVS. Parking is very easy since there is a sizable parking lot.

When I'm in the mood for another sweet, tasty coffee, along with good service, I'll make my way back here. Well, dependent on when I'm in this area again.

PROTIP:

They have an app that you can pay with but not actually order on. Still worth it though since I earned a free drink with this visit.

Cheers!

In town for some poolside sunshine.

Dutch Bros was a quick couple block walk from our place. Great place to run and get your morning boost.

For me it's hot chocolate as I don't do coffee. Dutch Bros hot chocolate did not disappoint.

Service was fast and super friendly. If we are back in the area, I will return for sure!

The majority of the consumers at this location are a new level of dumb. How is the drive thru so confusing to you people?... We get one of 3 typea of people here and the 3rd type is the least common.. type 1- completely oblivious, clearly leave their life to chance kind of dumb. Type 2 - very selfish and cut throat, clearly have little control over their life and have poor time management skills, so they tend to fill their control bucket wherever they can.. type 3 - calm and logical, understand the simplicity and logical nature of the double drive thru. Pays attention to the fact that there are drink runners, keeping the lanes open and know to pull up to the window when it is free, following the very simple "zipper" pattern. The few staff members that helped us seemed to be from out of state. Lets hope they can get our local crop of employee choices to work like these people do. The true American way! Wonderful service and the best drive thru coffee you'll find anywhere around here. Very happy Dutch Bros. Has finally made it to the Coachella Valley!

used to be a lot better than it is now. i feel like every time i come here i get skipped in line somehow and watch all the people who came after me get served first, no matter what time of day it is. the drinks are decent, again depending on the time of day and who they have working. wait time is usually consistently 10-15 minutes for 1-2 drinks.

Husband and I went here today for an Xmas treat. Ordered one large Hazelnut holiday special and one large Golden Eagle, extra hot.

The Golden Eagle was not extra hot nor did it taste like there was any caramel or flavor to it. Definitely not like they've been before. The Hazelnut was ok. Not even sure they had espresso in them.

Why bad review? When we got home and walked into our home - my husband says "What's on your nose"? I don't know, I say - what's on Your nose?

What was it? Black marker of some kind that could only have come from these drinks (because we had nothing else). The black marker did not come off with water and a washcloth, had to use soap and scrub.

Will be notifying the Riverside County Health Dept. about this one. Shameful..........never again........

All through they don't let you eat inside I say this is still one of the best coffee shops in genreal, all the employees are nice the naming for their employees makes it seem special the menu isn't big but there a lot of sercert items. And even if the flavoring might not get as much kick as say Starbucks I still think it's better to go here The same price cups are a little bigger than strabucks.

Endless options for your caffeine fix! There can be a long line but service is so fast that you don’t wait too long. Really efficient ordering drive thru process. Staff is always friendly and willing to give recommendations. Go to coffee spot for a reason!

Always feel welcomed when I arrive. No pastries yet. But I still happy. Service is fast and great. Two lines sometimes but they sometimes have two workers outside to get your order started. I like how at the window area they have an opening to the right. In case yoir order is ready but the car in front is not. They come put and give your order and then you can go around to start your day. Really awesome. The server brought my drink with a smile. I got an amazing drink that tasted great. I got the Rebel Unicorn Blood (iced). Limited time for Halloween I guess. But still good. Got to try it now. GO!

Dutch Bros never disappoints! Whether you buy coffee, tea, or a specialty drink!
The service is always over the top!

Honestly, this place has better drinks than Starbucks, and the employees are perfectly friendly. Big props to the ones who decided to incorporate so many different flavors in one place- my only wish is that customers didn't have to find the other half of the menu online.
