Oat Milk at Dutch Bros: What You Should Know
- Availability: Offered at all Dutch Bros locations in the U.S.
- Extra Cost: Typically $0.50–$0.75 per drink, depending on region.
- Calories: Oat milk adds about 120 calories per cup (8 oz) before flavors or toppings.
Best Drinks with Oat Milk:
- Oat Milk Latte
- Oat Milk Golden Eagle
- Cold Brew with Oat Milk Foam
- Oat Milk Mocha
Not every seasonal drink lists it, but baristas can usually make it work unless there’s a dairy-heavy base involved.
For non-coffee folks, try it in chai teas or even lemonades if you’re blending something up. Oat milk adds a bit of natural sweetness, which can balance tart flavors.
Availability and Locations
Oat milk has been on the menu at Dutch Bros since around May 2020, and it’s available at all their spots across the U.S. That’s over 800 locations now, mostly in the West but expanding eastward. If you’re at a drive-thru, just ask for it as a substitute in most drinks.
One thing to note: There’s often an upcharge for oat milk, usually about 50 cents extra, depending on the drink size. It’s not free like regular milk might be in some cases. Availability hasn’t changed much in recent years, even into 2025, based on current menus.

Oat milk adds a creamier texture and more calories than almond or coconut milk, but it’s the closest to whole milk in taste.
How to Customize and Order with Oat Milk
Ordering is easy, just say “with oat milk” after picking your drink. For example: “I’d like a medium iced caramelizer with oat milk.” Baristas are used to it.
A few practical tips:
- Mix with Flavors: Oat milk pairs okay with vanilla or caramel syrups, but watch out for sauces – some like white chocolate sauce have dairy, while syrups usually don’t. Stick to syrups for dairy-free.
- Temperature Matters: It froths decently for lattes, but in super-hot drinks, it might separate a tad if not stirred.
- Allergies?: Confirm no cross-contact if you’re highly sensitive, as equipment handles dairy too.
- Cost-Saving Hack: If you’re getting a plain latte, the oat milk version is the same price as others, plus that small upcharge.
Any hidden fees or limits?
No limits on how much you order, but that 50-cent add-on applies per drink. Prices for base drinks start around $4-5 for mediums.
Can kids have it?
Sure, in non-caffeine options like steamers or hot cocoa (built dairy-free). It’s milder than some alternatives.
I’ve heard from folks online that it makes cold brews less watery, which is handy on hot days.
