Menu differences

Who wins on value?

If you mostly buy plain hot coffee and a donut, Dunkin' is usually the better deal. If you like large iced drinks with flavors, Soft Top or energy, Dutch Bros often gives you more for a similar price. Dutch Bros also lets you add nearly any flavor to any drink, which is why its secret menu is so popular.

Where each chain is available

Dunkin' has thousands of shops, especially in the Northeast. Dutch Bros has about 1,311 shops in 28 states, mainly in the West and South. In many areas you will only find one or the other. See Dutch Bros locations.

Value per ounce

Large iced drinks offer the best value at both chains. A large Dutch Bros iced Americano at $3.95 for 32 oz works out to about 12 cents per ounce. A large flavored drink like a Golden Eagle at $6.45 works out to about 20 cents per ounce. Compare with Dunkin' prices in your area to see which gives you more.

Healthier choices at both

Which should you choose?

Pick Dunkin' if you want a cheap hot coffee and a donut or bagel, a big food menu, or a shop in the Northeast. Pick Dutch Bros if you want large flavored iced drinks, energy drinks, a highly customizable menu and a friendly drive-thru experience. Price-wise, the two chains are closer than many people think on flavored iced drinks, and the loyalty programs at both can bring the cost down further.
