There’s more to the Dutch Bros menu than meets the eye. Like, a lot more. I’m talking about at least over a hundred secret menu items that you can order off-book, from lattes to cold brews to iced teas to a whole host of flavored chai beverages. If Starbucks wasn’t so damn customizable (they really let you do anything you want over there), Dutch Bros could really give them a run for their money.

If you have other dreams and aspirations in life, trying every Dutch Bros secret menu drink isn’t a feasible goal. So let’s narrow the scope. Here are five fun Dutch Bros secret menu bevvies that we really think you should order the next time you need a change in your coffee routine.
- Peach Cobbler Chai
-
If fall and summer teamed up to concoct a beverage idea, this would probably be the result. Peach Cobbler Chai features a chai base with peach and chocolate macadamia nut syrups and a drizzle of white chocolate sauce on top. It’s commonly served iced, and fans like to order it with a soft top, too. (I mean, who doesn’t love a soft top, am I right ladies? Ladies?!) A lot of the Dutch Bros secret menu items are desserts disguised as coffee, and I think that’s really beautiful—but this one in particular really strikes us as something you could only get at, like, a trendy farmers market or cute amusement park. It’s very unique (and reportedly, incredibly delicious).
- Dirty White Girl Rebel
-
First: Hahahaha… Hahaha… ha. That’s all. Second: Like many dirty white girls, this drink is both surprisingly sweet and a little fruity. It combines Dutch Bros’ signature Rebel energy drink base with blackberry, white chocolate, and almond syrups. It’s double blended for a creamy, slushy-like consistency, and the “dirty” part means it’s also topped with sweet cream. Some fans say it tastes a little bit like Smarties or SweeTARTS. Anyways, I dare you to order it. –signed, an aspiring dirty white girl rebel.
- The Fleck
-
Coconut fans, this Dutch Bros drink was made for you, and I think you need more representation in the world of coffee beverages. The Fleck typically pairs a Breve (part half-and-half, part espresso) base with white chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut syrups, giving it a tropical but still fairly sweet flavor profile. It’s not super coffee forward, though. You’ve been warned. Fans say that you mainly taste the tropical, milky flavors first and then a bit of coffee on the finish. (Pro tip: If the barista looks confused, also might want to order it by its full Christian name, “The Fleck Breve.” You’re welcome!)
- Cowboy Sunset Iced Tea
-
Look, I just love the name of this one. There’s just something so peaceful about a cowboy drinking iced tea at sunset, sittin’ on his horse, gazing out over the hills. I want that feeling in a drink! This has a green iced tea base mixed with peach, passionfruit, and grapefruit syrups—and the result is a vivid red and orange drink that looks like a bottled sunset. It’s refreshing, slightly tangy, and way lighter than the other richer, sweeter secret menu bevvies. The grapefruit really pulls its weight here in balancing that sweetness. Plus, you can also order it as a lemonade or Rebel-based drink, if you want a little more sugar or caffeine.
- Molten Lava Cold Brew
-
Forgive me father, for even knowing this exists must certainly be a sin. Dutch Bros Molten Lava Cold Brew takes their classic cold brew and adds chocolate sauce and cinnamon. It’s typically ordered with a soft top, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and another sprinkle of cinnamon. (You can also order a Molten Lava Chocolate Milk, which substitutes the coffee for chocolate milk instead. An even worse sin, if I do say so myself.) I really can’t fathom why this is a secret item; a name like Molten Lava Cold Brew deserves bold letters at the very top of the menu. But I don’t make the rules. Nor do I follow them, so I will be buying this the next time I’m at Dutch Bros. Life is worth living, you guys! Even as a sinner!
