Katelyn was the sweetest most helpful gal today!!! Love her attitude and professionalism will be back just bc of her!!!!

Ordered through app for the pick up window. Order was supposed to be ready at 9:28. I choose the pick up window as the drive thru line is always exceptionally long. 23 min later standing at the window my order was ready. I should have used the drive thru. Please give us accurate pick up times when ordering through the app. read more

I went way out of my way to try the infamous Dutch Bro's. It was just a Eh for me. The drive through line was busy. I ordered the Sugar free Carmelizer. It's expresso, sugar free Carmel and sugar free chocolate breve. It wasn't the greatest. Had a after taste and was a little too thick for my liking. I couldn't finish it. Glad I tired it though. No plans on returning. read more

I was in the area so I thought I would try "Dutch Bros!" I needed something different other than "Starbucks" so this was my treat after Easter brunch today with the family. I was talking to everyone more than focused on eating. I felt I did not eat very much today so I wanted to have an added treat to try on Easter. I wen through the drive through and ordered a coffee drink to try and also a tea. I ordered the "Dream Weaver" coffee drink and a "Green Tea with Coconut and Pineapple flavors inside. They both were delicious! I also enjoyed the friendliness of the baristas also. They seem to enjoy their job because it shows in their happy attitudes in how they treat their customers. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the items on the menu! I can see why it's a popular chain of coffee places because they have a large variety of drinks to choose from whether you desire coffee drinks, tea, or energy drinks and with their excellent customer service! read more

I've never been to a Dutch Bros because I never wanted to wait in the long long lines . However, someone put a in my ear and said these guys make the most amazing Christmas Chai so of course I had to try it. I typically don't like Chai but O-M-G!! Delicious I recommend the Christmas Chai with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and some kind of cold foam. It was worth the long lines. The order takers are so sweet and patient when you ask lots of questions. And it doesn't hurt that they also have a reward program friends!!!! My 2nd drink was FREE!!! read more

Drive thru line can be long but if you park and order at the window, it is a lot faster. I ordered the Golden Eagle with a soft top, iced. It's pretty sweet because of the caramel drizzle, but if you like coffee and desserts, this is the perfect drink for you. read more

First time here, signed up for rewards and got a free medium drink. I tried the Golden Eagle. I was not impressed. After talking to a few people I guess I was supposed to ask for all sorts of modifications to make it not taste like just flavored milk. It's just not strong coffee to me. However the customer was great even though it was VERY busy ! Both drive thru and the walk up window were packed. I took away a star simply because the structural set up is an absolute nightmare. The drive thru has two entry ways making it difficult for those that are trying to enter and exit for the walk up. My friends had no complaints about their vanilla latte or pomegranate rebel. So overall decent experience just probably not the place for me. read more

Dutch Bros Coffee - Golden Eagle, Vanilla Latte, and Pomegranate Rebel - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

10/15/26 . This was my first time at this Dutch Bros and I am a bit dissatisfied with the service that was provided. I waited in the drive thru line as I watched 3 cars next to me already get their order taken while the worker with the tan Boots and lightwash mini Shorts was talking to what it seemed to be her friends in front of me. Then when taking my order she was very disengaged at one point not even responding to me when I said thank you. She also seemed rushed to get through the order she just told me my price and I hadn't even had finished ordering! I've never had to write a bad review before with my experience at Dutch bros I have always had the most connecting conversations with the DB staff! Very disappointing read more

So thankful for another Dutch Bros. joining the San Diego region (Oceanside and Escondido are just too far to go for coffee). I have been to this location a number of times and am impressed with how efficient they've become -- their drive-thru line is pretty under control and their staff is quick, helpful and friendly. My drink orders have been pretty consistent with flavor, temperature, and aesthetic. Shoutout to the young lady who suggested I try the iced banana cream pie breve...it was so creamy and yummy (the Annihilator and Golden Eagle are my usual go-to's). Dutch Bros. has an amazing syrup/flavor selection and so many great sugar-free options (as opposed to starbies only offering 1 sugar-free option: vanilla). Hopefully Dutch Bros. will expand closer to central San Diego - driving far north, east and south (Chula Vista just opened one not too long ago) for my Dutch fix is no bueno! Please open one closer to Mission Valley/Kearny Mesa...let's give starbies a run for their money!!! read more

Dutch Bros Coffee - Iced Banana Creme Pie Breve for the win! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

Don't let the long lines at this El Cajon location scare you off! Their double-lane system and 'Merge' setup is super efficient. They have staff walking the line to take orders and a clear merge lane (look for the blue sign!) that keeps traffic flowing perfectly. They even tell you exactly which car to follow so there's no confusion. Tried the Annihilator on a recommendation and it was 10/10. Not too sugary, just right. Love the app perks (free welcome drink!). Great vibes all around. read more

Espresso is delicious, the woman taking order was great, the man at the window was kind, but the woman making our drinks was not good. Pros: * Friendly staff taking our order and at the window * Good Espresso Cons: * The woman making our drink was not good. We ordered an Dub. Shot espresso in the largest cup filled to the top with ice. This is standard for protein coffee. (I've ordered this from Starbucks multiple times and they don't bat an eye). The barista tried to change our order and give us a medium cup (which didn't work to fit the protein drink) so we asked for our original order of large cups. I watched her just dump it into a large. Unfortunately, she didn't fill in the difference with ice which was part of our original order. Our order is very simple, so I was really surprised by the amount of hassle we got for it. We decided to go home and fill the rest of the ice ourselves because it was such a terrible drive thru experience. Extra: * Limited parking. Thought Dutch Bros was built for the drive thru so it doesn't surprise me * Sign up for their app to get rewards * Yes, it does get busy, but sometimes you can catch them without a line. read more

We love coming here but our experience today, 7/16 like around 7pm, was disappointing. Before we arrived, I already placed a mobile order. When we got to the pick up window, I added another order, total of 3 drinks. Shortly after, a group of 10 people arrived and placed their orders after us. To our surprise, the staff almost completed all of their orders before ours. When I asked about my mobile order, I was told they were still working on it. After waiting almost about 20 minutes with no update, I had to follow up again. It seemed like the large group's orders were prioritized even though they ordered after we did. We usually enjoy coming here, but today's experience was frustrating and disappointing. Instead of enjoying my drink, it completely ruined my appetite. read more

I'm realizing I think I just don't like dutch bros coffee so take my review with a grain of salt. The coffee is just so weak, it's like drinking water. I got a mocha cold brew peppermint seasonal drink and it was flavorless and so weak. I want to actually taste the coffee and I never do when I get a drink here. However, the staff here is so nice! They were kind and helpful and we really enjoyed the atmosphere at this location. So amazing staff, just the coffee is not for me. read more

Dutch Bros Coffee - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

Honestly, I consider myself a coffee connoisseur. I drink espresso/coffee at least once or twice a day. I enjoy the taste of a lot and I feel coffee gives me that dopamine hit(: I would say tho, my drink tasted good, however, the day i went, my drink lacked the caffeine element in it and I feel like my drink was just too "white/milky" in color. My son had the blue raspberry lemonade with popping boba and he enjoyed it a lot and in comparison to Starbucks.. Dutch Bros tastes a lot better! The cashier was very friendly and there was no line at walk-up window when we went. Will come back and try something different. read more

I don't have to wait until I'm in Vegas or any other state to get me a Dutch anymore. 5 stars right there. Two lanes full and steady flow moving and the walk up window has a line too. When you got quality from top to bottom you get lines of loyal customers. They use a three blend roast and it's roasted in house so out of their creations the coffee itself is always smooth. They got options when you want to switch it up. Smoothies, energy drinks, protein drinks, boba and others. And if you time it right you might score an elusive Dutch Bro sticker or small fun merch. Oh wait, they also do other fun things like seasonal drinks. Since it's Halloween I went with the Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée freeze. If I was a pumpkin I would've been lit inside. I was just glowing the rest of the ride to my destination. They hire fun staff here too. That's common at all the Dutch Bros I've been too and sometimes they play really good music. Luv Dutch Bros. If I'm in a city that has one I definitely stop in. Mel M Yelp 25:15 read more

The last few times I've ordered from here my drink had been the complete wrong color and tasted disgusting. It tastes very watered down and nasty. I always order the same thing, it should be red. They've been handing it to me and it's almost clear... if you don't have the syrup then say that? Don't have me pay and then hand me something I didn't order. I'm someone who always tips but I'm done when I'm paying for nasty tasting water from employees that can't be decent enough to simply tell me "hey, we don't have that syrup." Or even "hey, our employees don't know HOW to put syrup in a drink!" It's a waste of money and the drive to get there. read more

We have had some of the worst customer service we have ever experienced from a barista. The drink I ordered today was completely wrong.. it tasted very bad so I brought it back . My son-in-law took the drink to the window because there was no parking and he asked for a new drink because this one wasn't the one we ordered. The woman was very rude and seemed annoyed with him for requesting a new drink . She refused to replace the drink with the correct order.All she did was add some banana syrup and say OK there you go bye. It still wasn't the 5 shots of espresso. it didn't have the protein milk that I asked for. I am so offended. I think I'm taking a break from Dutch Bros even though I've probably spent over $200 there last month. With this type of service for $10 drinks I think I need to find a new place to get my coffee from. read more

Review by Captain 619 Listen here, see? In the coffee game out in El Cajon, there's only one kingpin worth talkin' about--Dutch Bros. They call 'em the "coffee warriors," but lemme tell ya, they're runnin' this block like they own the joint. My wife and kid, they swear this place makes Starbucks across the street look like a two-bit operation. Today, the missus drags me here for the first time, capisce? Now, the line? Fuggedaboutit. Longer than a wise guy's rap sheet. And whaddya think they got? Arm guards in the parkin' lot. Like we're movin' primo espresso beans, not orderin' a cuppa joe. But the Boss Lady wanted her "Cinnamon Swirl Blended," so I stood there like a loyal soldier, holdin' my ground. When the drink finally comes? The Queen of Caffeine says it's a tad too sweet--says she'd give it a 9 outta 10. But mark my words, this is her new flavor fave. So we're gonna be hittin' this flavor highway again, see? Next time, though, they better ditch the goons in the lot so we can make it quick, in and out, no fuss. Until then, keep your cup full and your caffeine higher than the feds' interest in my... business dealings. Capiche? Captain 619 Yelp's Caffeine Consigliere Stay caffeinated, or else. --- P.S. Dutch Bros--keep the espresso flowin', and nobody gets hurt. Capeesh? read more

By far the worst Dutch, when you order ahead you expect to be in and out of the line but the mobile order line was long and everyone was waiting nearly 20 mins just for our coffees to taste HORRIBLE. The lady taking the orders would continue to talk over those already trying to place an order. just terrible. Save your time & money yall. read more

I did a walk up to the window before heading over to Soapy Joe's for a car wash. I ordered a 16 oz latte and lemon poppy seed muffin top. What happened to the rest of the muffin? I do not know, but I aim to find out. The latte was smooth and good, but it was heavy on the milky side. It was difficult to discern the coffee flavor. I do wish they had a cortado on the menu. The muffin top was great. It was larger than I expected, and at $2.95, it was a pretty good deal. It was soft and moist with a tasty lemony flavor. The young lady at the window at 6:45 am. on the day of this review was great. She was very nice and helpful. The perfect personality for the position. I hope they add outside seating on the side patio. There's plenty of room there. read more

Super friendly and quick service but not sure I understand the hype otherwise. This location just opened and when we got there on a Saturday morning around 9 the drive through line was down the street. We decided to park on the street and just do the walk up window which had about 10 ppl in line but it moved quick. I got the golden eagle iced latte and customized it with nonfat milk (instead of half and half), 1/4 sweet and soft top. I was a little worried about how sweet it would be after hearing so many people mention that the drinks were on the sweeter side. My drink wasn't bad at all. Even the soft top on it's own isn't too sweet. That being said, the overall flavor is fine. It's a very milky drink and doesn't have a strong coffee flavor. It kind of reminded me of Dunkin honestly. Wouldn't be my first choice when getting coffee. read more

This is my second time coming to this location and the coffee tastes like milk. I came twice to give it another chance. There is no coffee flavor in the drink and you can tell by the color of it. It's extremely disappointing to be paying $8 for a cup of sweet milk. read more

Lines are always pretty long but worth the wait. The drinks are good and I love that they have such a wide variety of caffeinated and non caffeinated drinks. I especially love the holiday drinks (the iced peppermint mocha is kne of my favorites). The staff is always friendly and very personable. And even when the drive through line is long it moves fairly quickly. I usually order online and pick up at the window. Overall easy location to get to as well read more

Another five star experience at Dutch bros El Cajon! I went on a Friday morning and got 2 medium iced rebels. The service was great and the person taking our order was very helpful when it came to us deciding which drink to order. We waited less than 10 minutes and were on our way! The rebels are my favorite and I love that there are sugar free options. This time my drink was extra carbonated which I LOVE! Sometimes it can be slightly flat but not today. I love Dutch and will always be coming back! read more

So glad to have a Dutch bros location close to me. I've always seen tik toks and memes but I'm glad I can finally see it in person. The experience of this drive thru is pretty chill. The staff who takes your order at the drive through are personable and friendly. I love the vibes. Not to mention the drinks are really good! There's a Starbucks access the street but you know where you see the lines. Come and check it out for yourself. Recommend: Kokomo Annihilator Matcha lemonade read more

I would have left a higher review, but overall, my exprience has been awful. I am not able to use the mobile ordering because its saying its declining my cards (yes, I've spoken to my bank. Yes, there are funds on there. I went down there in person and use the same exact card that the app refused). Now, the store was nice and helpful. It's my experience with customer service that is the problem. Melissa B. practically refused to help and then just cut off communication before I had a chance to reply. Such poor customer service. All I want is to add my payment method onto the app. read more

I absolutely love Dutch Bros back home in Seattle and I was so excited to try it in San Diego. The nearest location besides this is at least a 30 minute drive from me, so I couldn't wait! The drinks are a lot more pricey than I expected but none the less, I still enjoyed my drink. I love their energy drinks and online ordered making it fast and easy. The lines are very long, so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're in a rush to go somewhere else. There also isn't a lot of parking in the lot, but there is some across the street where you can park and walk over to the counter. The customer service was pretty good, the girl who took my order was very friendly and brought the drinks out fast. Overall, the only reason I gave it only 4 stars was due to the long line that overflowed into the road read more

I went to Dutch Bros for the first time today and I had the best experience. The girl at the drive thru was so sweet and helpful when it came to navigating the Dutch Bros app. I ended up getting the iced Double Rainbro with redbull and she was right, it was so good! The girl at the window was also super sweet and welcoming. It wasn't too busy for a Monday late morning, the drive thru line went by really fast. This location is a really lively place and the music they were playing was really fun! I loved it! I absolutely will be coming again, thanks to the girls who made my first time experience a very pleasant one. read more

Dutch Bros Coffee - Birthday shake and mango smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

This is the first Dutch Bros I've ever been to and I've visited twice so far. Lines are so so long on the weekends. We opted to park somewhere and order in person. No line to order and it only took about 15 mins to get our drinks. I'd say that's the way to go to avoid the line down the street. Second visit was a week day, and they changed their traffic flow to 2 lines so it really helped. Line was not too far into the street. I also ordered on the app ahead of time and opted for drive thru pick up, but it seems you still have to go into the same drive thru line as everyone else- no separate line for pick up. You could opt to pick up at the walk up window as well fyi. Staff was super friendly in the drive thru, gave my dog a treat. I didn't have to wait to be at the front of the line to get my drinks either. The worker decided to pick it up inside and guided me out of the drive thru and parking lot. Now for the drinks. I enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberry latte from their February specials. Mostly tasted chocolate and the strawberry was subtle. I also tried their cinnamon swirl protein coffee which was pretty good, very milky with subtle cinnamon. Would visit again. Download the app for rewards! read more

This place is in walking distance from my work and of course busy due to being new in the neighborhood. The staff is very upbeat and friendly which I love and very helpful if you have questions. With it being so busy when they notice someone they always check to see what you are waiting for which is great. The drinks I am still figuring out what I like and playing around with sweetness but I got one of their popular espresso drinks where it was extra sweet just so I could get the flavor and it was delicious. Will definitely be checking out some more drinks. read more

Don't waste your time getting coffee here!! It's not a place for real coffee drinkers. It was my first time here yesterday. I ordered the "annihilator". I received a cup of iced flavored milk. Absolutely no coffee taste I almost went back to get it remade it tasted like they forgot to add the espresso shots. I ordered the drink standard without making modifications so I could feel out what their base drinks taste like and it was just a huge disappointment. Like I said, real coffee drinkers just try Dark Horse in La Mesa or even Sheldon's in La Mesa. read more

Went here to get a few drinks and I was SO disappointed!! Coming from an area where dutch bros is one of my favorites to get a great drink, well, this California location does NOT know how to make the same drinks or follow directions period!!

This was my first time visiting. I loved how clean it was. The staff was so friendly and upbeat! I was recommended to try the Banana Bread Mocha, and it did not disappoint! I would recommend 10/10.

First off they recently opened so traffic is bad so we walked up. It's not indoors and I do not remember seeing any outdoor seating. Staff was very nice. So I ordered the shark attack with popping boba. Now it was not the energy one. I liked the color combination and flavors . However it literally tasted like a cherry lemonade nothing special and did not look like the drink in the pic. I also ordered the chocolate chip muffin top which was ok. They do not heat it up so it's cold. I went home warmed it up and it was good. I was not impressed but wanted to try it. Maybe the coffees are better. read more

The employees here are so sweet! & feel for them for the snotty teens who try to order with an attitude. Walking up is the move considering the drive thru is always packed. We didn't wait long for our drinks I got an almond milk latte blended but wish I would have gotten it iced. My husband chose the marshmallow seasonal drink and it was delicious !

We parked on the side street and walked right up and ordered. And within minutes our order was received! Friendly service as usual for Dutch!!! WELCOME!! read more

It pains me to say this, but as a 3-4 times a week DB drinker, it's consistent and amazing every time...in UTAH.
