Dutch Bro’s Coffee is like no other. If you think Starbucks drive thru’s are convenient, you should visit a Dutch Bro’s stand! The coffee is delicious, the employees are friendly, and the service is always quick! Like a lot of college students, I drink coffee like water. I visit Dutch Bro’s at least once a day and have yet to have a bad experience! Unfortunately most of their locations are in the Pacific Northwest but if you’re anywhere near one make sure to go! Here’s why Dutch Bro’s Coffee is the best:

1.Drive Thru. Just pull right up to the window and order! It’s so convenient especially if you live in Oregon where it rains most of the time! If there’s a line, one of the employees is usually outside taking orders. By the time you get to the window to pay your drink is ready for you!

2.Every 11th cup of coffee is free! They have a rewards stamp card and you earn 1 stamp for every drink you buy! Let me tell you, those add up quickly! It’s always nice going to your favorite coffee shop and not having to pay!

3.Customer Service. If they make your drink wrong, they will remake it quickly and with no hassle! The employees always are upbeat and friendly no matter the time of day! Usually, they are singing and listening to great music! You can tell that they really enjoy their job!

4.Cute colored straws. Who doesn’t love a hot pink straw in your cup of coffee! They have blue, orange, yellow, red, pink, and green! Rumor has it that these straw colors mean something! I’ve been told the pink straw means you're “cute” so it’s always fun to go with a group of friends and see who gets the pink straw! Check out #pinkstraw on twitter and you’ll understand the importance!

5.Large menu selection. The baristas can pretty much make you any flavor drink! From a raspberry mocha to a “snickers” coffee, the selection is unreal and you can customize anything! If you are unsure what to order, the baristas will gladly surprise you with something delicious! They also have smoothies and flavored “rebels” which is their version of an energy drink!

6.Quotes on the lids. There is always a message written on the top of the lids! The messages are always positive like “Today is yours. Own it” or “smile.”

7.Location. There is one relatively close to both sides of the University of Oregon campus! The hut-like stands are conveniently located throughout the town! All of them are walk up or drive-thru so its easy to get your coffee and go!

8.Coupons! Usually you can find the Dutch Bro’s coupons around campus in the coupon books like Chegg Deals! They offer any $2 medium drink and buy one get one free! As a college student, nothing is better than a delicious coffee drink that’s affordable!

9.They always give back to the community. This Valentine’s Day, if you bring canned food you get a free drink! The food is donated back to the community! Free coffee and doing good, what more could you ask for!
