As a barista I should know better!
Let’s talk Breve at Dutch Bros Coffee ✨
🤎My first trip to Dutch Bros I picked the only drink off the menu I’d heard of! Sadly it wasn’t my favorite:( but it may be yours! Let me explain,
🤞🏻Keeping it honest. Two years into being a barista I found myself running to google. Someone had ordered a cafe breve and I had no clue what it was! But it didn’t sound too yummy to me.
💭Personally, it’s not my thing. But! If you like your lattes creamy I recommend! The mix of 1/2 and 1/2 and milk with give you a thicker latte. As a classic latte comes with just milk.
💡if you want a touch of creamy I recommend their latte with oat milk! I now order these drinks and I love them:)
When I first encountered the Breve at Dutch Bros, I had so many questions just like you might! The Breve is a delicious espresso-based drink made with half-and-half instead of regular milk, which offers a richer and creamier texture than your typical latte. This means it’s thicker and has a smoother mouthfeel, perfect if you enjoy a decadent coffee treat. From my experience, the Breve can be a love-it-or-leave-it kind of drink because of its richness. If a classic latte feels too light, Breve might be just what you need. But if you prefer something lighter, Dutch Bros offers other great options like their oat milk lattes that give a subtle creaminess without being too heavy. One fun tip I discovered is their Golden Eagle Breve—an iced espresso drink combined with caramel and half-and-half, drizzled with caramel sauce. It’s a sweeter twist and a great pick if you want to try a Breve with a flavorful kick. Also, their Strawberry Breve is gaining popularity for those who want a fruity flair with the creamy base. Exploring Dutch Bros’ specialty Breve drinks can be a delightful experience, especially if you like experimenting with coffee flavors and textures. As a barista, I always recommend asking for half-and-half substitution if you want that classic Breve effect in other drinks. And if dairy isn’t your thing, oat milk lattes are a fantastic alternative that still captures that creamy vibe without the heaviness. Learning about ingredients and preparation helps in appreciating these drinks even more. So next time you crave coffee, trying a Breve or a variation might surprise you and become your new favorite!
When I first started trying Dutch bros I thought all their drinks were way too sweet and tasted like milk. They are so easy to customize you just gotta ask, play with the recipes. LOVE Dutch!
