Best warm drinks without coffee

For a sweet, creamy drink without caffeine, cocoa wins. For something light, a plain hot tea is the best value on the whole menu. For spice, try a chai.

How to order cocoa your way

Ask for a flavor: caramel, vanilla, white chocolate or double chocolate are on the official menu, and you can mix syrups for secret-menu style cocoas such as peppermint or snickerdoodle during the holidays. Add whipped cream or Soft Top ($0.50-$0.75). Choose zero sugar added if you want less sugar. For a mocha instead, ask for espresso, which turns it into a coffee drink.

Is Dutch Bros cocoa worth it?

At about $3.95 for a medium, Dutch Bros cocoa costs less than most coffee drinks and is a filling, caffeine-free treat that kids and adults both enjoy. The calories are high, so treat it as a dessert. If you want something warm with almost no calories, a plain hot tea is the smarter everyday pick.

How Dutch Bros cocoa is made

The official menu describes Dutch Bros cocoa as the chain's exclusive chocolate milk, steamed to perfection with a flavor of your choice. That chocolate milk base is what makes the cocoa creamy and gives it a meaningful amount of protein, 18 g in a medium Dutch Cocoa. It is also why cocoa is not dairy-free and why calories are high even in the Zero Sugar Added version.

Cocoa vs mocha

A mocha is essentially cocoa with espresso. If you like the taste of cocoa but want caffeine, ask for a mocha: a medium hot mocha has 430 calories and 95 mg of caffeine, slightly fewer calories than a medium Dutch Cocoa because of the espresso replacing some chocolate milk. If you want cocoa flavor with no caffeine, stick with cocoa. Compare more in our latte and mocha guide.

Cocoa for kids

Cocoa is a cold-weather kids favorite at Dutch Bros. Kids sizes are offered for Caramel, Double Chocolate and White Chocolate cocoa (400 to 420 calories) and for the Not So Hot (330 calories), which is served cooler. Ask for no whipped cream to trim a little sugar.

Holiday cocoa flavors

In winter, Dutch Bros often rotates in holiday flavors that work well in cocoa, such as peppermint and other seasonal syrups. Check the seasonal menu when the holiday lineup launches, usually in early November.
