The first Dutch Bros Coffee in our region had its grand opening yesterday! A decent-ish drive away in O'Fallon, Missouri, I was around there today and figured I'd pick some goodies up for Samii and myself to try. I was surprised (but shouldn't have been) by the long line. I imagine other folks in the area are excited to try Dutch Bros too, after all. The line moved along briskly enough and all the employees were quite friendly throughout the ordering process. After I got everything we headed home to sample the drinks and snacks.
I ordered a cold brew coffee and a strawberry-flavored soda. I found both quite tasty, with the cold brew going down smoothly and the soda's syrups were just right too (not overly sweet or anything). Samii got a tea with some flavors and found it decent, but we think they might have used green tea as the base instead of black tea--as we requested. She was still pleased overall though. As for the snacks, the granola bar was a big and chunky piece of deliciousness,s and the muffin tops/muffies were solid if not as good compared to the granola bar (it was legit yummers). We either liked or loved everything today from Dutch Bros and I can see why it has a lot of hardcore fans. That said, I still think Scooters is my absolute favorite coffee joint, currently. Still, anytime I happen to be in O'Fallon I will eagerly stop by Dutch Bros for something scrumptious.
4.5 out of 5 Stars overall.
*Glad you liked it! It's always nice to find a good place for drinks and treats. *Speaking of drinks and treats, be forewarned! 7 Brew is newer here in town. It is a drive-through place. It has an extensive menu of hot and cold drinks, but no treats whatsoever. Also, it is only a drive-through place- as in Employees ONLY go inside. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteI've tried 7 Brew as well! Good drinks but the lack of snacks is a bit disappointing.
