Chowhound Dutch Bros’ Most Popular Drink: What To Know About

Dutch Bros has such a complex and ever changing menu that it’s very likely no other coffee chain does. The rotating monthly specials, the secret menu drinks, and the ability to change nearly every aspect of any drink to your liking make any first visit to the West Coast coffee chain a little bit of decision paralysis for anyone. Any of the famously upbeat employees will explain it to you and give you catered recommendations if you ask to be fair.

If you’re really fancying your first taste of Dutch Bros, or you’re an old hand looking to spice up your order, go for the Golden Eagle, which is the most popular drink on the menu, and they advertise as ‘the most caffeinated, most creamy caramel drink’. The Golden Eagle is available hot or iced and is espresso, half and half, and caramel and vanilla flavoring, with a caramel drizzle. Or you can request it with whipped cream or Dutch Bros’ very own Soft Top, a variation of velvety cold foam or cream foam, or change the milk type to something non-dairy, or sprinkle… you get the picture.

Dutch Bros will do it. Just about anything within the dream world will come to fruition, even when all one has to offer is an aggressively sweet, too-often-too-early morning pick-me-up to your liking (though not actually to your liking).

Common Modifications To Request From Your Bro-Ista

This is even the case even if the whole point of Dutch Bros is customization, and there are just so many things a newbie has to programmatically deal with. For that, here are a few of the most recommended changes suggested by seasoned pros (customers) on a Reddit thread. One comment also made people aware that any Dutch drink can be ordered half sweet, quarter sweet or extra sweet to tone it up and down for your liking.

If you’re also looking for a little more coffee flavor, you can have the same as many of the highly caffeinated by requesting an extra shot of espresso. Many of the comments also noted that the recipe for the drink had changed, bro-istas confirmed that now the vanilla and caramel Torani syrup flavors were being swapped out for a premade mix of the two flavors. The change was made so the process of making the popular drink would be streamlined, but not everyone is on board.

If that’s you, order your Golden Eagle “OG style” (or, put another way, get the vanilla and caramel syrups added separately). No matter how much you may frown upon making mods, the coffee chain that’s transforming friendly service isn’t offended by it at all. If asking questions and adjusting sizes is just more than you can bear in the realm of social anxiety, the Golden Eagle is even possible to put together at house (a lot like yet another chain’s far prefered consume, the Starbucks Medication Ball) — all you want is caramel and vanilla Torani syrups, two to four photographs of espresso and half and half.
