New Dutch Bros cereal latte

Okay, so like many of you, I've been seeing all the buzz about Dutch Bros' new cereal lattes, and I had to try them! I mean, who doesn't love a bit of childhood nostalgia mixed with their coffee? These aren't just any lattes; they're designed to taste like the milk left over after a bowl of your favorite cereal. And let me tell you, Dutch Bros definitely delivered on the concept, even if the 'coffee' part sometimes feels more like a whisper than a shout! First up, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte. This one seriously earned its 8/10 from me! From the moment I picked it up, I could smell that warm, inviting cinnamon and vanilla aroma. What really makes this drink stand out is the cold foam and those actual cereal bits on top. It’s not just a flavor, it's an experience. Every sip is a delicious blend of sweet cinnamon and creamy vanilla, and then you get that little crunch – it’s just *chef's kiss*. While the OCR mentioned "lacking the expresso taste," I actually think that's part of its charm. It feels less like a traditional coffee and more like a dessert in a cup, a perfect treat for when you want something sweet and comforting. It genuinely tastes like the delicious milk at the bottom of your cereal bowl, but elevated and chilled. Then there was the Marshmallow Dream. This one got a solid 7.5/10. It’s definitely a different vibe from the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The OCR described it as "similar to a vanilla latte but make it cute," and I totally agree! The marshmallows on top are absolutely adorable and add a fun visual element. Flavor-wise, it’s much milder than its cinnamon counterpart. If you're someone who prefers a less intense flavor or isn't a huge fan of strong coffee notes, this might be your go-to. It’s sweet, creamy, and has that subtle, dreamy marshmallow essence, making it a super comforting drink. It doesn't have a strong taste, as the OCR noted, but sometimes you just want something soft, sweet, and easy-drinking, right? Now, if you're like me and sometimes feel like Dutch Bros drinks can be more 'coffee milk' (as I mentioned in my initial post!) than strong espresso, here are a few tips I've picked up for customizing these cereal lattes or any other sweet treat from Dutch Bros: Boost the Buzz: If you want more of that coffee kick, don't hesitate to ask for an extra shot of espresso! The baristas are usually super happy to customize. Sweetness Level: Find it a bit too sweet? You can always request 'half sweet' or 'less syrup.' This is a game-changer if you want to enjoy the flavors without being overwhelmed by sugar. Foam Fanatic: If you loved the cold foam on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, you can often ask for extra cold foam on any drink! It adds such a luxurious texture. Explore Other "Dessert" Drinks: These cereal lattes fit perfectly into Dutch Bros' reputation for innovative, dessert-inspired beverages. If you love these, you might also enjoy their other unique creations like the Birthday Cake Frost or the White Zombie. They're all about that fun, indulgent treat experience. Overall, I had a blast trying these new Dutch Bros cereal lattes. They're definitely more on the sweet, treat-yourself side of the menu, perfect for a pick-me-up or a little indulgence. If you're curious about embracing that cereal milk nostalgia, I highly recommend giving them a try, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Let me know which one you prefer if you do!
