Everything Vegan at Dutch Bros
There are many vegan options at Dutch Bros Coffee, which is a popular drive-thru coffee chain that primarily operates drive-thru stands. According to Forbes, there’s truth behind the company’s name as two brothers of Dutch ancestry founded the chain in 1992. Since its beginnings as a pushcart with a coffee machine, Dutch Bros has become a coffee fan favorite and now operates 1,012 locations across 18 states. Known for its friendly service and fun atmosphere, Dutch Bros makes it easy to enjoy your favorite drinks with dairy-free milks and doesn’t charge you extra for it. After hearing from PETA, Dutch Bros stopped charging extra for non-dairy milk options in January 2025, including almond, oat, and coconut milk. Let’s dive into everything you can order vegan at Dutch Bros right now, from refreshing coffees, smoothies, and the chain’s famous Rebels.
Is There Vegan Food at Dutch Bros?
While Starbucks, Peet’s Coffee, and other major coffee chains offer vegan food, Dutch Bros doesn’t offer vegan food on its menu as its granola bar, muffin tops, cakes, and breakfast sandwiches contain milk, egg, and meat “ingredients.”

Some Tips on How to Order Vegan at Dutch Bros
Fans swear that oat milk is the best vegan milk at Dutch Bros. There could be some truth to this, as many people consider oat milk to be one of the best vegan milks for coffee because of its creaminess, neutral taste, and frothability.
The boba at Dutch Bros is vegan and makes a fun addition to the Rebels, smoothies, sodas, and teas.
Other Coffee Chains Near You With Vegan Options
Major coffee chains, including Starbucks, Dunkin’, and Peet’s Coffee, offer vegan options and do not charge extra for vegan milk. Meanwhile, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf still charges compassionate customers extra for choosing vegan milk. Every upcharge for vegan milk prioritizes profit over animals, the planet, and consumers’ health. Cow’s milk comes from the dirty dairy industry, which forcibly impregnates cows, kidnaps their babies, and treats mother cows like machines instead of individuals who feel pain and fear just like humans. Dairy production also significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water scarcity.
