With the various flavors you can add to cold drinks, iced coffee has become one of the most popular drinks at Dutch Bros.
This can make it challenging to order every time you visit this popular coffee chain.
While you can always stick to the classic, you don't want to miss out on festive flavors that will undoubtedly become your new favorite. So what do you do?
We’re here to the rescue! In this article, we have listed the top 11 Dutch Bros iced coffee drinks that will surely satisfy your caffeine fix while giving you a whole new coffee experience.
List Of The Best Iced Coffee Drinks At Dutch Bros
1. Dutch Bros Annihilator with Soft Top
If you’re a sweet tooth looking for the best Dutch Bros coffee, the Annihilator iced coffee is definitely a good choice.
This delicious concoction is made with their smooth cold brew coffee, breve, and chocolate macadamia nut syrup that’s out of this world.
The syrup makes this simple iced coffee chocolatey and slightly nutty. The breve, on the other hand, offers a creamy and velvety texture that you’ll enjoy in every sip.
However, this may make this iced coffee a little less creamy and the coffee flavor more robust, but that's just not it.
This version uses a soft top, which is Dutch Bros' version of Starbucks sweet cream cold foam.
Instead of using vanilla as the soft top's main flavor, it has a marshmallow-y flavor that makes this iced coffee even more delectable.
One slight problem, though. The drink isn't the best choice for those trying to lose weight—a medium cup contains 470 calories and 50 grams of sugar.
2. Dutch Bros Vanilla Bean Latte
If you're not a fan of frou-frou drinks, the Vanilla Bean Latte is a great choice.
While it may still be a little sweet, the flavor of the coffee is so intense that you're not going to pay attention to the drink's sweetness.
Plus, the vanilla flavor is just delightful. The first sip is just packed with a vanilla taste that's bursting in your mouth.
Also, you can never go wrong with vanilla iced coffee. You just know that it will be good, no matter what.
Dutch Bros also allow you to customize your drink and choose your preferred milk. So if you're feeling a little adventurous, try it out with coconut milk and see how it will transform your drink.
It's also a healthy choice, so that's a win-win for you. A regular cup (medium size) contains 350 calories and 62 grams of sugar--not so bad, especially if you're a huge vanilla fan.
3. Dutch Bros Golden Eagle
Are you a caramel lover? If you are, this is the Dutch Bros coffee for you.
The Golden Eagle drink is made with espresso, breve milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce, and topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
The combination of these ingredients makes this iced coffee smooth, creamy, and sweet--every sweet tooth’s dream!
For those who love the coffee taste, you might want to steer away from this drink. The sweetness can be too overpowering; think of it like a dessert drink.
However, you can make this drink sugar-free, as Dutch Bros offer a wide range of sugar-free syrups.
This drink contains 480 calories and 37 grams of sugar for the medium size. While the calorie content may be a bit high, it's still worth ordering if you ask us.
4. Dutch Bros Campfire Cold Brew
If you're looking for an iced coffee that can give you a real kick, this cold brew drink is for you.
It is made with Dutch Bros nitro cold brew mixed with chocolate macadamia nut syrup and vanilla, and topped with soft top and chocolate drizzle.
It's basically s'mores in a cup, if you ask me! The toasted marshmallow flavor of the stop compliments the sweet, chocolatey flavor of vanilla and macadamia nut chocolate syrup.
Once you start sipping, you just won't stop till it's done.
This drink uses Dutch Bros chocolate, which contains dairy. Still, you can ask for a dairy-free option if you have a dairy intolerance. They'll just add chocolate to it to mimic the chocolate flavor.
However, it won't be as creamy as the one made with chocolate milk, but it still has the same flavor profile, so you're all good.
5. Vanilla Cold Brew
Not everyone is a huge fan of drinks bursting with flavors, and we understand that. So, we also added a classic but delicious drink to our list.
The vanilla cold brew may sound plain and boring, but don't be deceived.
This popular drink is still a crowd favorite, thanks to its vanilla flavor that compliments the strong coffee flavors of the cold brew.
You can also swap the vanilla syrup for a sugar-free option and ask the barista for a soft top if you'd like this drink to be a little sweeter.
Since you can have a sugar-free vanilla syrup, this is a perfect Dutch Bros keto coffee drink for those on a keto diet.
A Dutch Bros cold brew coffee is only 20 calories, but this does not include any syrup or toppings.
6. Snickers Mocha
Starbucks isn't the only coffee shop that has a secret menu. Dutch Bros has one too and the Snickers Mocha is one of the best on this menu!
Well, as its name suggests, its flavor profile is based on the popular Snickers candy bar. It's made with their chocolate milk base, espresso shots, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, and hazelnut syrup.
With this drink, you can choose what toppings you want to add.
To make it more like the candy bar, add some whipped cream, chocolate, and caramel drizzle. However, if you want something light, skip the toppings.
The coffee taste may not be as prominent as other Dutch Bros drinks, but you can always add more coffee if that's what you're looking for.
We think it's already good as is, especially with the hazelnut, as it adds depth to the flavor.
If your barista isn't familiar with this drink, you need to come prepared. Simply ask for an iced mocha with caramel, chocolate, and hazelnut syrups, plus your topping of choice.
7. Iced Grand Canyon OG
Another secret menu Dutch Bros drink that you should try is the Iced Grand Canyon OG.
This is made with half coffee and half chocolate milk blended with chocolate macadamia nut, white chocolate, and dark chocolate syrups. So, if you’re looking for a half-caf drink, this is a great choice.
However, if you want a low-calorie drink from Dutch Bros, you may want to order a different one.
While you can get a sugar-free version of some syrups, the chocolate milk is a bit loaded with calories.
Still, if you're not going to drink this regularly, you may want to treat yourself to a cup or two of this.

8. Caramelizer
Chocolate and caramel go hand in hand, whether as candy bars or coffee drinks. So, this caramel mocha drink is the best Dutch Bros coffee drink, in my opinion.
It's sweet and chocolatey, with a hint of the strong flavor of coffee--the perfect balance. It has a Milky Way flavor that you won't get enough of.
Even though you like less frou-frou drinks, this is still an excellent choice.
The Caramelizer is made with espresso shots, chocolate milk, and caramel sauce, and topped with whipped cream.
A medium-sized cup has 480 calories and 60 grams of sugar. A bit higher than most drinks, but it's worth it.
You also have the option to customize this drink. For one, you can ask for plant-based milk.
The barista will simply swap the chocolate milk with a milk of your choice and add some more chocolate. You can also ask to add more coffee if you want a little kick.
9. Dutch Crunch Breve with White Coffee
This secret menu drink will definitely blow your mind! It is made with white coffee, a new blend of coffee with a unique taste and color.
Instead of the usually dark hue of regular coffee, it's a bit lighter and doesn't have the roasted, intense flavor of black coffee.
On top of white coffee's unique flavor, it also comes with strawberry and hazelnut syrup, mixed with the cream half-and-half and served in a white coffee cup.
This creamy coffee tastes like Captain Crunch berry cereal. So, if you’re in love with this breakfast cereal, this drink is definitely a must-try!

10. White Zombie Mocha
White chocolate lovers, this drink is for you.
This secret menu iced coffee is made with breve, chocolate milk, mocha flavoring, and white chocolate sauce, which results in a sweet and softer flavor that anyone can enjoy.
There's limited information about this drink online, so we suggest you just visit a Dutch Bros near to figure out how delectable this drink is.
A little warning, though. It can be a bit addictive, especially if you love a creamy chocolatey flavor.
11. Sugar-Free Option: Keto Golden Eagle
Last but not least, a sugar-free option for those on a keto diet![1] While many on our list can be ordered sugar-free, Golden Eagle is a classic perfect for everyone.
It's essentially a regular Golden Eagle but with sugar-free syrups.
This means that you can still enjoy a sweet, flavorful coffee drink even if you're on a diet.
Just one downside: it has a fake sugary taste, but that's what you usually get if you're using alternative sweeteners.
