Where do you go when you want some energy? Some might go to Starbucks or Dutch Bros.
Orginally Starbucks was founded first in 1971, and Dutch Bros was founded in 1992. So starbucks been around since forever! This might be a very biased blog but personally they are both overrated. Every time I go to starbucks I have have the rudest staff members, and I understand they might be overworked but they shouldn't give out poor customer service! Starbucks is truly overpriced for what they serve. For example for the price of a grande Espresso Frappuccino is $6.19 and at Dutch Bros the price of an medium golden eagle freeze is $4.25, they are very similar but prices vary. If anyone is confused on the sizes Starbucks grande contains 16 fuid ounces while at Dutch Bros medium contains 24 fluid ounces. As you can tell Dutch Bros is financially better but but still expensive if you buy everyday.
In addition, if we compare their drink options they are quite similar but if we compare the food items; Starbucks have breakfast and lunch options, such as sandwiches and croissants.(My favorite) They even provide there bestselling cakepops everyone loves. While Dutch Bros only have cookies, I think it's obvious Starbucks takes the win for that.
Finally, I have surveyed my family on whose is better. There was a total of 6 people, and disappointly it was split in half. 3 people chose Dutch Bros and the other 3 chose Starbucks. Although my family did hesitate to make a decision on which was better, which tells me both are great. However, if I were to chose one it would be Starbucks because of the tasty treats!
I wouldn't go to Dutch Bros if it was the only coffee shop in town. Yes, they are fast, friendly, and make delicious drinks. What I can't handle is their overbearing, unauthentic, IN YOUR FACE, optimism. I do not want to play 20 questions while being held hostage in a drive-thru. They want to know about my day, what I am doing tomorrow, and what my favorite color is... just give me my coffee.
