Dutch Bros was founded on February 12, 1992, by Dane and Travis Boersma brothers of Dutch descent, in Grants Pass, Oregon. In 1994, Dane and Travis struck a deal with a customer, Marty Mckenna allowing them to open his own Dutch Bros in Medford 30 minutes away from Grants Pass. In 1999, Dutch Bros started formally franchising and opened the 50th franchise and by 2009 there were 135 coffee stands in seven states. Now it’s everywhere in almost every state and operates a chain. Not only having coffee but lemonade, sodas, rebels, dutch frost, smoothies, and baked goods. Dutch Bros is now competing with Starbucks more than ever.
Dutch Bros coffee is top-notch. It’s a very good and delicious coffee. If you enjoy the coffee I recommend you guys try the iced golden eagle and add a soft top to it. The soft top is rich and has a creamy foam that fits perfectly with coffee. The Golden Eagle is a creamy brew featuring a bold and strong espresso, half and half creamer, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce around the cup and on top. The best way to drink coffee is iced but is also really good hot or blended. Not only is Dutch Bros a really good coffee brand but also has sweet drinks. A new drink that arrived not too long ago was the Peach ring rebel blended. The peach ring rebel is an irresistible blend of passion fruit and white chocolate with their own rebel topped with peach float. Which is a perfect combination with the just right amount of tang and sweetness. I recommend coming and trying out Dutch Bros near you. It’s a great company with great flavors of drinks!
