Dutch Bros Coffee - Santa Maria

SO GOOD. My favs are the golden eagle with extra Carmel drizzle or, if you like something sweeter, the carmelizer, which is fantastic. Their smoothie are very good as well. I do like that they now make coffee freezes too!

Got a nitro cold brew w/oat milk, no additional flavor. Coffee was dark and bitter, the oat milk smoothed the bitterness away when I mixed it in. Good coffee for a quick pick me up.

I visited DutchBros for the first time and was impressed by their dual-lane drive-through. Even though there were quite a few cars waiting, the line moved quickly. I particularly appreciated having a staff member greet me while I was in line, take my order, and allow me to pay right there—no need to speak into a speaker.

It was quite good, and the variety of beverages is impressive—everything from coffee and tea to energy drinks, so there's something for everyone. The double-wide drive-thru at this location is a fantastic idea! I'm not local, but I'll definitely stop by again when I'm back in the area!

The employees were extremely friendly and helpful. My coffee, unfortunately wasn't quite as good. It was OK, but not as good as Starbucks. Of course I only had two items, a vanilla latte, and a drink they had that was supposed to taste like an orange cream cycle. It wasn't bad, just not good either. The four stars are mainly for the staff!
