A national coffee shop wants to take you back to your playground days.
Dutch Bros Coffee released a trio of childhood-inspired drinks Thursday, with flavors that call back to days when warm chocolate chip cookies and slushies mixed with fruity flavors were the pinnacle of childhood bliss.
The trio includes Brown Butter Chocolate Chip, Fruit Punch With Sour Candy Straw and Kool Blue. The brown butter coffee drink has a brown butter chocolate chip drizzle and a brown sugar foam top sprinkled with chocolate chips. The fruit punch drink combines orange, cherry and pineapple flavors, and the Kool Blue combines watermelon and blue raspberry with mango boba.
Drink prices vary by location, but range from $4.75 to to $7.95 at a Jacksonville, Florida, location.
The new drinks are available while supplies last, the company said, and continue the Dutch Bros tradition of limited releases that highlight seasonal or nostalgic flavors.
Dutch Bros launched its first store in Oregon in 1992 and has grown to more than 1,136 locations across the United States.
The chain’s locations are drive-thrus, and employees are known for their friendly vibe - Dutch Bros earned the top ranking among quick service restaurants in Technomic’s 2024 list of America’s favorite restaurant chains.
The company has vaulted itself into the discussion of the nation’s biggest coffee chains, too. In 2025, it was the third-biggest coffee chain by sales in the 2025 Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report, trailing only Starbucks (No. 1) and Dunkin’ Donuts (No. 2). Dutch Bros generated $1.8 billion in sales in 2024, according to the report.
Dutch Bros is part of an emerging group of drive-thru quick-service coffee shops that includes Scooter’s Coffee and 7 Brew Drive Thru Coffee, both of which are in the top 125 restaurants by sales in Technomic’s 2025 rankings.
The success of drive-thru coffee shops may be due, in part, to consumer preferences. Some 59 percent of coffee drinkers who bought coffee in the past week purchased it via a drive-thru, according to a September 2025 analysis from the National Coffee Association.
Additionally, 36 percent of those who bought coffee in the past week did so through an app, the analysis found.
Dutch Bros and Scooter’s have capitalized on that trend with well-reviewed apps. Both companies’ apps have a 4.9-star rating in the Apple App Store, and 4.6- and 4.4-star ratings, respectively, in the Google Play store.
