Dutch Bros Coffee

Really like the coffee Dutch Bros uses and consistency of the products from one day to the next. The menu is stacked with inventive and ever-changing, but typically sweeter-than-southern-sweet-tea, coffee and shake-like beverages... No... Really... They proudly make some beverages, like the Double Torture, with super-rich (proprietary) chocolate milk. This is my go-to, as it's loaded with 4 shots of espresso. If that's your thing. For hot coffee, I like the Caramelizer with an extra shot.

If you like coffee-flavored coffee, this is not the spot for you - although I'm sure it's there somewhere amidst the type-2-diabetes-flavored beverages they shamelessly plug. I say this, yet their hot White Chocolate Lavender perfectly let the espresso sing...after adding an extra shot.

Occasionally, you get a crew of young bros and off-duty cheerleaders, that clearly has been downing caffeine and sugar for all 3 meals, and possibly intravenously, as they exuberantly and haphazardly bash their way around a coffee machine to some AWFUL pop/rap hit I've never heard before, but is now being forced, clattering, clamoring, scraping down my ear-holes.

No. Really. It's that kinda place. If you're down with wading through the "too-woke-for-Starbucks...but-OMG-I-still-LOOOOOOVE-me-a-pink-drink" crowd...or can tolerate it for above-par caffeination, as I do...this spot is for you! Although really this demographic (being area dependant) doesn't extend much to their clientele, which leads to some interesting social interactions and people-watching.

One of my evening experiences, while sitting at the drive-thru window and in full-view of the coffee bar, started with a "1...2...3...GO!!!"
The milk and coffee grounds started literally flying, as I watched in righteous disbelief (I'm a food service veteran) as my beverages and cross-contamination were the last thing on the future-pledges' minds.
Being severely tired and in need of their delicious liquid-sustenance, I begrudgingly accepted my beverages...the only pass I'd ever allow, and only because of the circumstances. See, they at least got the drinks into the containers, and no fingers or foreign objects made it inside during their caffeine-fueled-flailing...I watched unwaveringly to be sure of this, as my party's eyes were the only ones doing so. In their defense, they managed to slam together drinks that were only slightly substandard...and in record time!

The drive-thru is pretty frequently packed - and deservingly so. They're often capable of being a great deal faster than most coffee houses in the area, while maintaining some semblance of consistency - something this area severely lacks. Although, there are days where the sheer volume clearly burns out their "bro-istas." 👈 (Their word, not mine...*cringe*) However, a walk up from their limited, but often-manageable parking, to their walkup window, can subvert a line that literally wraps behind the adjacent 7-Eleven.
And mind you, I do this regularly for their coffee ☕ and only for their coffee ☕

The service is great 👍 including service. Everyone is friendly and nice to the point where I could go get coffee every day. It's a must go.

The drinks AND the broistas are wonderful. The drinks at this location are consistent and ridonkulously yummy. The manager is badass AND kind, he's always calm even when the Wi-Fi goes down or there's an issue with a machine or something - keeping everyone else chill in the shack. The app is easy to use. For the first time in 20 years this elder millennial former Seattleite barista is having fun with coffee and ways to get caffeinated again, thanks DBs.

It's decent. I don't get the fervor for the place. The coffee is good, leaning way Into all the sugary beverages. If that's what you are looking for you won't be dissapointed

I've seen this place for years and when one opened up in Cedar Park, I didn't really think much about it.

Man, was I wrong. Excellent coffee and my afternoon treat.

And those muffin tops are going to give me a muffin top! LOL

Not worth the hype or cost. I bought a white chocolate lavender latte and a salted caramel latte. They both tasted like regular iced coffee and there were grounds floating in it.

This location has the best service! The staff is always super friendly and the drinks always come out perfect!

They’ve been moving very slow lately. My Large Hot White mocha today was literally just a hot chocolate. Very disappointing. Line too long to go back through and have it corrected. They need to have a manager of some kind there to make sure employees are performing appropriately.

I pulled up at 9:50 and their drive through was shut down. I was bummed but understood. However when I pulled around to exit, an employee was sarcastically yelling out the window "bye, have a nice night!"

I have gone once during the day and had a pleasant experience with friendly employees who took the time to tell me about drinks suited for everyone.

Ah, Dutch Bros. Been to this location a few times already. As seems to be the hiring culture of DB, the folks are upbeat, joyful, and happy to be doing what they’re doing. While I’m more a fan of their flavored energy drinks, some of the seasonal coffee options are okay IF you’re in the mood for an almost-hurt-your-teeth sweet coffee beverage.

Honestly, I like visiting Dutch Bros — this one and other locations — because I enjoy the experience, specifically the interactions with their team. A change of pace from Starbucks and Summermoon is nice, especially when the relatively brief time spent with DB ppl is so noteworthy, IMO.
