Dutch Bros Coffee is a new coffee spot that has been opening many locations around the Orlando area. This is becoming a great spot for my wife and I for a quick coffee. I typically head over to Starbucks and where I will still be loyal to them, if we are not near our favorite location, or my wife wants one of their lemonades, we have been coming to Dutch Bros. I will say, it is cheaper than a Starbucks. Prices are similar but for the same price I can get a much larger iced coffee. This location is brand new in the Hamlin area so definitely closer than the Clermont location we have been going to at times.
Dutch Bros offers ice coffees, lattes, lemonades, energy drinks and more. They are known for their coffees but have recently been adding more food options. There is also almost always a special drinks of the season, the moment, secret menu item, etc.
They do have an app and this location is now accepting orders through the app. This is so much easier personally. You can do all the customizations and actually see all the options. You can also "schedule" your order depending on how far you are. If we are headed here, we will order at home and schedule it for about 10-15 minutes. I will say their menu board at the location does not list everything and all the different customizations you can do. The app is better, plus you earn rewards and its free to sign up!
You can walk up to the window but what is easier is to get in line, and their lines are unique. There are 2 sides, usually a "Broista" walking both sides to take your order. They will tell you which car to follow and will go back and forth so it's fair. If it is not super busy, you will order at the window.
I am not a sweet coffee person so I am plain Joe. I prefer just a flat white, no added sugar, however my wife loves their special coffees. During the holidays, she always ordered the Ice Cookie butter iced coffee with holiday sprinkles. Yes they add sprinkles to some of their iced drinks! She also enjoys the Iced Latte Salted Caramel with whip cream and fat free milk or the Ice Lemonade Poppin boba berry lemonade. She is definitely a caramel fan. I do wish I enjoyed a sweeter coffee but I can tell you their actual coffee is great. Just black or a little bit of steamed milk and its perfect for me!
Team members are called "Broistas" and I enjoy the play on name, they are always super friendly, laid back and always willing to chat with you. This is definitely a more laid back coffee spot! I highly recommend checking them out! We came on opening day and they gave out stickers and such. I would like to see some cups or merchandise like Starbucks sells. I think it would be nice to reuse cups as well, so maybe in the future. But in the meantime, give them a shot, they do have great coffee for the sweet and not so sweet fans! read more
