A whole article on almond milk might sound small, but I only paid attention once I needed a dairy-free order.
I used to assume Dutch Bros only had soy, so the first time I needed a dairy-free order I realized I had not paid enough attention to the menu.
That is the part I wish I had known then.
The short version is that almond milk is a straightforward swap if you want a dairy-free drink without changing the order too much.
Key takeaways
Is almond milk available at Dutch Bros?
Dutch Bros does carry almond milk to craft all the delicious dairy-free Dutch Bros drinks we know and love.
For vegans and anyone avoiding dairy, it keeps tea and lattes a little sweeter without using regular milk.
Dutch Bros also offers soy, coconut, and oat milk.
Those plant-based options usually cost a little extra, and Dutch Bros still keeps dairy choices like whole milk, 2 percent, non-fat, and breve on the menu.
What almond milk does Dutch Bros use?
The almond milk at Dutch Bros coffee shops is the Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla version.
Blue Diamond's almond milk keeps drinks creamy, but the texture stays lighter than dairy milk.
The subtle vanilla note is what I notice first, especially in cold drinks like cold brew.
It has a creamy, nutty flavor that does not overpower the drink the way richer milks can.

Does Dutch Bros almond milk have sugar?
The almond milk at Dutch Bros does not have any added sugar or dairy, which is great because we all want to drink healthier and sometimes swap sugars for natural flavors.
That lighter profile is a big part of why people choose it as a dairy-free swap.
I usually swap a standard syrup for Dutch Bros sugar-free versions if I want to keep the sugar lower.
For me, lactose intolerance is the reason almond milk matters, and it is usually the easiest dairy-free option to start with.
If you have a nut allergy, ask your barista before ordering almond milk, since it is still a nut-based option.
Our top almond milk Dutch Bros drinks
Once I realized Dutch Bros did have almond milk, I started paying more attention to which drinks actually taste good with it.
Be aware that the Dutch Bros Freeze drinks and Frosts may include dairy through the pre-mix base, so it is worth asking for an unsweetened dairy-free milk and skipping whipped cream.
In drinks like these, almond milk lets the syrup stay noticeable without the milk taking over.
That is usually the line I draw when I want a dairy-free Dutch Bros order without tipping the drink into dessert territory.
