Dutch Bros Kids Menu: Drinks, Prices & Calories (2027)

Dutch Bros is a family favorite, and kids get their own size and plenty of caffeine-free options. The kids size is smaller than a small, about 9 to 10 oz depending on the source, and is offered for shakes, smoothies, sparkling sodas, some lemonades, chocolate milk and cocoa, plus the Not So Hot, a cocoa made just for kids. This guide lists every kids drink in the official Dutch Bros nutrition guide, typical prices and tips for ordering for children.

Prices are typical U.S. figures before tax. Check your stand in the Dutch Bros app.

What is the Not So Hot?

The Not So Hot is a kids cocoa served at a lower temperature, so children can drink it right away without waiting for it to cool. It has 330 calories and no caffeine. It is one of the most-loved kids items at Dutch Bros in colder months. See our hot cocoa guide.

Drinks to avoid for kids

Avoid anything with coffee or energy-drink caffeine: Rebels, Myst, cold brew, Freezes and espresso drinks. Freezes are especially easy to mistake for milkshakes, but a medium Freeze has 175 to 345 mg of caffeine. Iced teas and chai also contain some caffeine. Stick to shakes, smoothies, sodas, lemonades, chocolate milk and cocoa. See the full caffeine-free drinks list.

Seasonal kids drinks

Several seasonal drinks come in a kids size. On the 2026 fall menu, the Autumn Berry Fizz (130 calories) and Autumn Berry Lemonade (180 iced) are offered as kids drinks, along with Halloween's Creepy Crawler Lemonade and Soda. See the fall menu.

Tips for ordering for kids

• Say "kids size" at the window or select it in the app.
• Ask for no whipped cream to cut a little sugar.
• Choose soda or lemonade for the lightest option.
• Add a cake pop ($2.95) as a treat; it has 130 calories.
• Check allergens: shakes, chocolate milk and cocoa contain milk.

Kids drink calories compared

Kids drinks vary a lot in sugar. Sodas and lemonades are lightest, at 80 to 140 calories and 19 to 34 g of sugar in a kids size. Chocolate milk is next at 150 to 220 calories, with the bonus of some protein. Shakes and cocoas are the heaviest at 250 to 420 calories. For an everyday kids drink, choose a soda or lemonade; save shakes and cocoa for treats.

Kids drinks and allergies

Shakes contain ice cream, and chocolate milk and cocoa use the Dutch Bros chocolate milk, so all of them contain dairy. Birthday sprinkles contain soy. Sodas and lemonades do not use dairy ingredients in their standard form, which makes them a safer starting point for kids with a milk allergy, but Dutch Bros notes that shared equipment means it cannot guarantee any drink is allergen-free. See our dairy-free guide.

Kids menu prices compared with adult sizes

At about $2.50-$3.50, a kids drink costs around a dollar less than a small. For younger children, the kids size is plenty; older kids may prefer a small soda or lemonade at about $2.75 to $3.50, which is still caffeine-free.

Kids drinks on hot days

On hot days, kids love iced and blended drinks. A kids iced lemonade (140 calories) or soda (80 to 100 calories) is refreshing and light. Blended kids lemonades, such as the kids blended Electric Berry Lemonade (230 calories), give a slushie experience without caffeine. Avoid blended Rebels and Freezes for children, as both contain caffeine.

Kids drinks on cold days

When it is cold, the Not So Hot is the go-to, since it is served cooler and ready to drink. Kids-size cocoas in caramel, double chocolate and white chocolate are richer options. For a lighter warm drink, a kids steamed milk with a flavor is sometimes available; ask your broista.
