Dutch Bros Add-On Prices: Soft Top, Boba, Extra Shots & Milk (2027)

Customization is the whole point of Dutch Bros. You can turn a basic Rebel into a creamy, boba-filled treat or make a breve stronger with extra espresso. Each of those changes has a price, though, and they add up quickly at the window. This guide lists typical Dutch Bros add-on prices, shows which changes are free, and explains how to customize without doubling your bill.

Prices are typical U.S. figures before tax. Add-on charges vary more by stand than base drink prices, so check the app for your location. For base drink prices, see Dutch Bros menu prices.

Dutch Bros add-on price list

Soft Top is Dutch Bros' signature sweet cream topping and the most popular paid add-on. Boba is the priciest single add-on at most stands.

How add-ons change your total

Here is how common combinations affect the price of a medium drink, using typical base prices.

A medium Rebel loaded with boba and Soft Top can cost as much as a large Freeze. That does not make it a bad order, but it is worth knowing before you pay. See Rebel prices for base prices on every size.

Soft Top: what it is and what it costs

Soft Top is a whipped, sweet cream foam that sits on top of the drink. It is included on some signature and seasonal drinks, such as the fall Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée, and costs $0.50-$0.75 to add to anything else. It is especially popular on cold brew and Rebels, where it makes a fruity drink taste like a creamsicle. Because it is dairy-based, skip it if you are ordering dairy-free. Our dairy-free guide lists alternatives.

Extra shots and caffeine

An extra espresso shot typically costs $0.50-$1.25. If you want more caffeine, adding a shot to a small or medium is often cheaper than ordering a large. Keep in mind the 9-1-1, one of the strongest signature drinks, already contains extra shots. Learn more in our caffeine guide and 9-1-1 guide.

Milk swaps

Dutch Bros makes breves with half-and-half and lattes with 2% milk by default. Swapping to oat, almond, coconut or soy usually adds $0.50-$0.80. Swapping a breve to a latte does not usually add a charge and cuts calories noticeably. See what a breve is for the difference.

Free customizations

Not everything costs extra. These changes are typically free at Dutch Bros:

• Sugar-free syrups in place of regular flavors. See our sugar-free drinks list.
• Half-sweet or fewer pumps of flavor.
• Light ice or extra ice.
• Hot, iced or a different milk temperature.
• Dry or wet foam on hot drinks.

Free tweaks are the easiest way to get a drink exactly how you like it without raising the price.

Add-ons by drink type

Some add-ons only make sense on certain drinks. This table shows which extras regulars most often pair with each drink and what that adds to a typical medium.

If you only add one thing, make it the one that changes the drink most for you. For most people that is Soft Top on cold drinks and an extra shot on hot ones.

Flavor floats and drizzles

Beyond the main add-ons, Dutch Bros offers flavor floats on energy drinks and drizzles such as caramel on coffee drinks. Floats are a layer of extra flavor that sits on top of a Rebel, and the Shark Attack Rebel is built around one. Extra flavors and drizzles are typically charged like an extra syrup, at around $0.50-$0.80. Many signature drinks already include a drizzle, so check the description before adding one. Our Rebel flavors guide explains which drinks come with floats included.

How to keep add-on costs down

Pick one add-on rather than three. If you love Soft Top, have it on a cheaper base like cold brew instead of a Freeze. Use your 325-point reward on a fully loaded drink, because the reward covers the customizations too. Read our Rewards guide and our list of the cheapest drinks for more ideas.

Why add-on prices vary so much

Base drink prices at Dutch Bros cluster tightly, but add-on charges differ more from stand to stand. Franchise and company-operated shops set their own prices for local costs, and some include a second flavor or a splash of cream for free while others charge for it. That is why one 2026 report lists an extra shot at $0.50 and another at $1.25. The simplest way to know what you will pay is to build the drink in the app before you order; it shows every upcharge line by line.
