19 Dutch Bros caramel drinks that satisfy my sweet tooth

19 Best Dutch Bros caramel drinks you should try

1. Golden Eagle Breve

The first time the Golden Eagle Breve landed in my hands, I expected a sweet coffee with caramel on top. What I got was much richer than that, enough to make plain coffee feel a little flat by comparison.

This masterpiece-in-a-cup is crafted with espresso shots, half and half, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce, and then topped with whipped cream and more caramel sauce.

The Dutch Bros Golden Eagle Breve keeps things simple: whipped cream on top, caramel sauce drizzle, and a creamy sweet base underneath. The first sip is smooth and caramel-heavy, and by the bottom of the cup it feels more like an indulgent treat than an everyday coffee.

2. Snickers Freeze

I have always liked a Snickers straight from the freezer on a hot day.

The Snickers Freeze gives me that same cold, candy bar feeling, plus the caffeine boost.

With an espresso freeze base, I get my caffeine fix while the hazelnut syrup, chocolate sauce, and caramel sauce to create the luscious masterpiece.

I also like it as a cold brew with cream and dark chocolate added, because the coffee shows up a little more and keeps the drink from tasting one-note.

3. Kicker Breve Extra Sweet with Caramel

The Kicker Breve Extra Sweet with Caramel feels especially velvety, and the extra sweetness makes it taste richer instead of just sweeter.

The Dutch Bros Kicker is luscious with its inclusion of steamed half-and-half and Irish Cream syrup, but the caramel sauce really makes it a bit more “sophisticated” in flavor.

What I notice first is the mouthfeel. It is thick enough to feel like a treat, but the caramel still plays nicely with the coffee instead of burying it.

When temperatures drop, I order it toasted or hot instead. The warmer version changes the texture enough that the caramel and coffee feel more blended.

4. Caramel Cold Brew

The Caramel Cold Brew is the simpler cousin of the Kicker Breve Extra Sweet with Caramel.

Delicious cold brew and caramel sauce meld together to create the perfect balance of sweet and robust.

The Dutch Bros soft top adds a fluffy layer that changes the first few sips more than I expected. I like it hot too, because it still works when I want something a little less icy.

5. Salted Caramel Oat Milk Latte

Sweet and salty can work surprisingly well in a latte, and this one makes that obvious.

I used to assume non-dairy milks would taste thin, but this drink changed my mind fast.

With oat milk, the drink already feels balanced to me, and I have not felt a need to switch it to anything else.

The salted caramel syrup fits the oat milk so well that the drink ends up with a cinnamon bun sort of warmth.

6. Caramelizer

The Caramelizer was one of the drinks that convinced me I would keep ordering from Dutch Bros.

The Dutch Bros Caramelizer, is essentially a caramel mocha, made with their signature chocolate milk instead of mocha syrups or sauces.

Hot, iced, or blended, the whipped cream softens the caramel-chocolate edge and makes the drink feel a little rounder.

On the days I want the full dessert treatment, I get it Picture Perfect with caramel and chocolate drizzle around the cup.

7. Golden Eagle Chai

When pumpkin drinks start taking over, I usually still reach for the Golden Eagle Chai if I want something sweeter and a little more comforting.

This drink is completely coffee-free, subbing espresso for chai tea, along with half-and-half and vanilla syrup.

The caramel sauce and drizzle on the whipped cream make it feel extra playful. When my throat feels rough, I usually skip caffeine and choose this one instead because the warm, sweet drink feels easier to sip.

It is the kind of drink I order when I want a cozy mood shift more than another plain coffee.

8. Reese’s Freeze

Reese's are probably my favorite candy, and coffee is the beverage I default to most days.

Put them together, and the flavor lands in that peanut-butter-and-chocolate lane I always come back to.

The Reese’s Freeze is made with sweet chocolate sauce and hazelnut syrup, along with sweet and savory salted caramel syrup.

It is not quite as nutty as the candy itself, but it gets close enough that I keep ordering it in summer.

The whipped cream rounds out the heavier chocolate notes, and one day I tried adding a shot of chocolate milk for an extra mocha edge. That version felt even richer without turning muddy.

9. Caramel and Hazelnut Latte

Caramel and hazelnut is one of those pairings that makes immediate sense once you taste it.

That is probably why the Caramel and Hazelnut Latte worked so well for me.

I usually start with my favorite milk and espresso, then add caramel sauce and hazelnut syrup for a drink that leans sweet and nutty.

It is sweet enough that I would not want it every day, but the espresso keeps it from tipping into pure candy territory.

10. Horchata Chai

Horchata is typically made with rice and cinnamon, and Dutch Bros turns that flavor idea into a Horchata Chai.

I wouldn’t say it’s authentic, but the combination of chai tea, milk, caramel sauce, cinnamon syrup, and white chocolate sauce come somewhat close.

Hot, it reminds me of churros more than I expected, mostly because the cinnamon comes through so clearly.

Over ice, I am not even surprised when it makes me want tacos or tortas ahogadas alongside it.

11. Picture Perfect Freeze with Caramel Drizzle

My local Broistas recommended it to me, and I kept noticing other people order it too.

They were not wrong, because it became one of my go-tos pretty quickly.

The blended coffee drink with caramel and chocolate sauce drizzled on the cup and topped off with whipped cream and caramel drizzle, for a drink that’s as photogenic as it is delicious.

I also learned that Picture Perfect usually means caramel and chocolate sauces plus whipped cream.

12. Caramel Frost

I spent years mixing up the Caramel Frost and the Caramel Freeze.

I love the Freeze, but the Caramel Frost is closer to a classic shake, which explains why I liked it so much.

While the coffee shop offers a wide range of complex Frosts to choose from, this one is straightforward: just ice cream and caramel syrup.

It is coffee-free, so it leans more dessert than coffee, and that is part of the appeal for me.

13. Trifecta Freeze

At Dutch Bros, a “Trifecta” is caramel, white, and dark chocolate.

The Trifecta Freeze is basically a Picture Perfect Freeze with white chocolate sauce taking the place of the caramel drizzle.

It tastes closer to a White Chocolate Mocha than I expected, but the caramel pushes it into a richer, more dessert-like range.

I usually get this one with soft top, though whipped cream works too. Soft top gives the first few sips more body, while whip keeps it lighter.

14. 9-1-1 Extra Sweet with Caramel

When I need coffee fast, I pull into Dutch Bros and order a 9-1-1.

It’s like a defibrillator in a cup, with 6 shots of espresso, half-and-half, and Irish cream syrup.

If I want it even sweeter, I go for the 9-1-1 Extra Sweet with Caramel.

I usually skip it after 4 PM because a drink this strong tends to stick around longer than I want.

It is the drink I reach for when my energy is running low, and it feels more like coffee than any energy drink I have tried.

15. Dutch Canyon Mocha with Caramel Drizzle

A Broista once described the Dutch Canyon Mocha with Caramel Drizzle to me as a chocolate turtle in a cup.

That description was pretty accurate.

Made with espresso shots, chocolate milk, chocolate sauce, white chocolate sauce, chocolate macadamia nut syrup, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle, it may be even better.

It has the longest ingredient list on this list, but it tasted less sugary or heavy than I expected.

16. Wallaby Freeze

The Wallaby is a rich and nutty espresso-based drink that is crafted with chocolate macadamia nut syrup, caramel sauce, and dark chocolate sauce, topped with whipped cream.

It is one of the drinks that reminded me how Dutch Bros can make a frozen drink feel layered instead of flat.

The caramel, macadamia, and dark chocolate together give it more depth than I usually get in a frozen drink.

I have seen people order this one as a secret menu drink, and I also like it toasted or on ice.

17. Dirty Caterpillar

I love caramel apples, but my teeth never seem to agree with me.

The Dirty Caterpillar scratches that caramel apple itch without the sticky, jaw-clenching bite.

This secret menu drink is blended into a smoothie, then drizzled with caramel sauce, and apple syrup.

It is thick, smooth, sweet, and spicy, which makes it feel like the kind of drink I want on a pumpkin-picking trip.

18. Flap Jack Freeze

I am the kind of person who would eat breakfast for every meal if I could, so a drink that leans into that idea was hard to pass up.

Made with espresso freeze base, white chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, vanilla syrup, and whipped cream, it’s as indulgent as a short stack of pancakes.

The caramel does the job maple syrup usually would, which gives the drink a homemade sort of nostalgia.

I also like the Flap Jack toasted or on ice, because the warmer version feels even more like breakfast on a chilly morning.

19. Caramel Freeze

Each sip is sweet, but the ingredients still stay distinct instead of blending into one flat note.

It’s a blended coffee caramel drink made with espresso freeze base, chocolate milk, caramel sauce, and whipped cream.

The chocolate milk is the part that surprised me, because it deepens the drink without covering up the caramel.

For a less sweet or dairy-free version, swap the chocolate milk for a plant-based milk and skip the whip.
