I heard a lot about Dutch Brothers, but I only got to try it for the first time during my most recent trip to Oregon. And oh my goodness, what have I been missing this entire time? I can’t drink straight-up black coffee, but I do like sweeter, blended drinks, so a friend told me that Dutch Brothers would be right up my alley. Dutch Brothers Coffee stands are easy to find because of the signature, blue, windmill structure. They’re a drive-thru, but during the last of my visits for this trip, I noticed that you could also walk up to the window(on the opposite side) to order. That would have probably been helpful for me to notice, because the line at this location tends to be long. But, then again, there are only like two stalls where you can park and get your coffee, so you’ll probably have to wait in the drive-thru, due to lack of parking. That being said, the people who work here are really friendly and helpful! During my first visit – my first time at a Dutch Brothers location, EVER – the staff were more than willing to help me, and my drink was on the house. The staff made my visits really enjoyable, so that, combined with the product, made me want to come back all the more. Prices are definitely reasonable(in comparison to what some coffee shops charge) and you get what you pay for, in terms of sizes. Here’s what I would recommend: «Caramelizer»: This drink features a classic mocha that’s spun with velvety caramel. I got this on my first trip to Dutch Brothers, and the girl at the window highly recommended it, saying that it was her favorite drink. I can see why! I actually got this on my last visit to Dutch Brothers, before I left Eugene to return to Hawaii. You can get drinks either hot or iced, but I got this one iced, even though it was a cooler, misty morning. I wasn’t disappointed! The blend was perfect, adequately featuring both chocolate and caramel. I was just relieved that they had soy options here. I got a medium size and was surprised by how large it actually was … and I think I only had to pay $ 3.50 for it, too. Granted, there’s lots of ice included in the drink, but I loved the sweetness and the delicate balance between the chocolate and caramel flavors. «Annihilator»: I got this drink during my second visit to this Dutch Brothers location. I was interested in it because it featured a chocolate macadamia nut mix. The girl at the window told me that it didn’t have a super strong chocolate taste, so she recommended adding chocolate syrup, which I did. While I did like the lighter, chocolate macadamia nut flavor of this drink, I still liked the«Caramelizer» a bit better. I got the«small» size of this drink, but it still boasted a sweetness that I enjoyed. «Dutch Freeze»: I didn’t get this drink during my time at Dutch Brothers, simply because I always have to get soy and I was told(on numerous occasions) that adding soy would mess up this mix. But, I didn’t want to take chances and not have soy with this option. It features a frosty, creamy espresso blend that’s made from scratch. One of my friends ordered this before and really enjoyed it … I really wanted to try it because it looks amazing in the photos. Maybe I’ll take my chances and try it one day when I’m not commuting anywhere and if a bathroom is safely nearby. «Dutch Frost»: If I didn’t want a coffee option – or just wanted something that was more similar to dessert – I would order this drink, as it features a frozen, creamy shake. I’m not sure what flavors it comes in, but I’ll definitely have to try it one day. «Chocolate Chip Muffin Top»: I only ordered coffee during my trips to Dutch Brothers, but if I had to get breakfast, this chocolate chip muffin top would probably be first up on my list. I love chocolate chips(and muffins), so I’d take this over any fruity pastry option any day.

Okay Seriously — what is in the Dutch Bros. Secret Juice? Their hiring is top notch and they pick amazing people! Mom, Dad and I were going to look at Christmas lights a few weeks ago — Mom and I brought our dutch bros hydroflasks to fill up with hot chocolate for the driving around YEA!!! So we went to this location as it was on our way. There is ONE drive up(noting this because most have 2) and one walk up window. The service was attentive though and they were extremely nice ASFREAKINGALWAYS. We placed our order for two peppermint Hot Chocolates and the two that were working that Friday night were simply fantastic. As we were waiting they asked what we were doing and we told them and they were excited for us – yes they seemed excited we were going to look at lights. Then Halo by Beyonce came on – and I was kidding but said«so are you going to sing this for me?» They both immediately started belting it out and doing interpretive dancing WHILE preparing our drinks. I am telling you this place knows how to hire. Then we went to look at light for 3 hours — our drinks were still HOT(yes I said HOT) at that time and for the next 3 hours… I was sipping mine so I had a lot left. If you don’t have a Dutch Bros Hydroflask GETONE!!! Anyway I loved the workers here too! Definitely awesome.

Meh. It’s not really good. Way way way too sweet. The staff isn’t great at listening, and you’ll probably be accosted by a «regular» crazed homeless person or religious nut.

Visited this location on a recent trip to Eugene … my first Dutch Bros experience, though we have them where I live. I prefer just a regular coffee instead of all the fru-fru sweet«coffee» drinks. I felt the menu catered to the sweeter drinks and it was difficult to identify anything else. I don’t remember what I ordered, something with vanilla syrup and whipped cream on top. After I ordered my friend pointed out the Americano on the menu. I felt it was too late to change my order, so I did not. Looking forward to trying an Americano instead of a sugary coffee drink.

This was the first Dutch Bros I tried while living in Eugene. During that visit, when they had heard I had never been there, they excitedly said my first drink was on them! They proceeded to ask me what I liked, made some recommendations, and I finally decided on a blended Cocomo. As they made my drink they chatted with me about where I was from, what brought me to the area, etc. The baristas truly made my first trip to Dutch Bros a memorable experience! And the drink was DELICIOUS! I have since been back to the same location and got a blended Double Chocolate Mocha which was very yummy as well. Very smooth and creamy. The service was once again impeccable. While I don’t go out for coffee too often(hello, student loans), when I do I will keep coming back to this location. The drinks are more affordable than Starbucks, and the service just blows Starbucks and other similar establishments out of the water!

A 1 star review and a 4 star review? Well here you go Dutch Bros W 11th Ave location, you get a shiny 5 star rating from me! My sister RAVES about Dutch Bros, so since we were in the area, we decided to stop by before starting our day. We all ordered the Iced Kicker which was a coffee made with blended Irish cream and it was DELICIOUS! In SF, we have Philz, but I prefer the iced coffee at Dutch Bros because the coffee is strong, yet sweet and the Irish cream made for a smooth drink. Also, I didn’t get that gross coffee breath after my drink, and I think that alone, deserves 5 stars! As for the service, everything was A-OK and the employees were super friendly. Maybe it’s just the kind spirit that the Oregonians exemplify? At $ 3 for a huge cup, it’s safe to say that I was more than satisfied with my experience!
