First Up – Does Dutch Bros Do Decaf?
It’s clear as day—yes, Dutch Bros does have decaf on their menu. Their lineup includes not only decaf coffee but also teas and Rebel flavors that don’t come with any caffeine.
Frosts and lemonades are caffeine-free, as well as the smoothies.
And, their espresso is technically 99.9% caffeine-free thanks to a special decaffeination process—super close to being totally caffeine-free if you ask me.
My Favorite Dutch Bros Decaf Drinks
I know what it’s like to be trying to find a way to cut caffeine out of your drink rotation – whether it’s because your body needs it, or you just want to make a switch.
So, I’m sharing this list of decaf options from Dutch Bros with you, in the hopes that it’ll point you toward a drink that you actually like, without the jitters.
Dutch Bros Decaf Coffee
First things first—let’s tackle the decaf coffee situation at Dutch Bros.
From what I’ve been told (by my bro-ista), every drink with espresso in it can be brewed as decaf.
But here’s the thing about decaf coffee, it actually still has a bit of caffeine in it. (1). That means you’d still have to moderate the amount you’re drinking.
1. Decaf Golden Eagle
The Golden Eagle is my all-time fave at Dutch Bros and did you know they offer a decaf version?
It’s got decaf espresso, your milk of choice, and vanilla, all dressed up with a little pool of caramel and some whipped cream.
Oh, and I like mine iced but stick with whatever temperature you prefer—blended, cold, or hot.
How To Order:
“Hey, can I grab an Iced Decaf Golden Eagle, please?”

Special Note:
While it’s a decaf option, it’s important to remember that it still contains trace amounts of caffeine.
2. Annihilator
The Annihilator crushes a decaf espresso, half-and-half, and chocolate macadamia syrup.
And much like the Golden Eagle, the Annihilator can be made iced or hot, so you can have it whenever you want it.
It’s a pretty layered drink and I taste a tonne of nutty flavors in there, so try it if you’re into that.
How To Order:
“I’d love a decaf Annihilator, iced, with soft top & choc drizzle, please?”
Ingredients:
- Decaf espresso
- Half and half

Dutch Bros Decaf Cold Brew?
If you’re on the hunt for a decaf cold brew at Dutch Bros, I hate to break it to you: they don’t offer it.
But don’t feel down. You can still get your hands on a decaf iced coffee or any other cold espresso drink. Just make sure to ask for the decaf version when you’re ordering.
Dutch Bros Decaf Tea
If you’re a tea lover looking for a caffeine-free option at Dutch Bros, there’s something you should know.
Their decaf tea isn’t entirely caffeine-free. It contains a trace amount of caffeine, about 2 mg per drink. But if you’re okay with that little kick, you’re good to go.
4. Double Rainbro
For folks who are all about fruit, there’s the Double Rainbro. FYI, if you’re stressing about calories you can order this drink sugar-free.
It’s black Ceylon tea with no caffeine, and then there’s coconut, strawberry, and peach syrup mixed in.
Altogether, the Double Rainbro is just like a tropical vacay without the party animals keeping you up at night.
How To Order:
“Hi, can I get an Iced Double Rainbro Tea but with decaf Ceylon Tea, thanks!”
Ingredients:
- Decaf Ceylon tea
- Coconut syrup

Special Note:
Ceylon tea is a black tea. Even decaffeinated, it does contain a small amount of caffeine.
5. Gem Berry
Gem Berry is another favorite option that can be made decaf using their decaf Ceylon as its base.
The drink combines blackberry and raspberry syrups, creating a berry blast that’s hard to resist.
I’m a sucker for anything berry-flavored, and this drink hits the spot every time. It’s like late summer captured in a drink, and I can’t get enough of it.
How To Order:
“I’d like a Iced Gem Berry Tea made with decaf Ceylon, please.”
Ingredients:
- Decaf Ceylon tea

This is a decaf option, but it’s worth noting that it does have trace amounts of caffeine so plan accordingly.
Dutch Soda & Lemonade (Caffeine-Free)
More good news: Dutch Bros has soft drinks and lemonades that don’t have even a drop of caffeine.
It’s exactly the thing for those times when you want a zingy little pick-me-up without losing sleep over it.
6. OG Gummy Bear
Let’s start with the OG Gummy Bear soda. This drink is a burst of fruity flavors that remind me of my favorite childhood candy.
Anyone who loves fruity sodas should probably try this drink out. It’s one of Dutch Bros’ most popular non-coffee drinks and it’s perfect for, well, everyone!

7. Dragon Slayer
Give the Dragon Slayer a shot if you’re after something different. It’s a soda with anything but a singular taste.
The name alone is intriguing, and the taste lives up to the hype.
My personal fave thing about the Dragon Slayer is that it’s not just a drink, it’s also it’s a conversation starter. People always want to know more about it, and it’s always a hit.

8. Tigers Blood Lemonade
Last but not least, we have Tigers Blood lemonade. If you want something that’s different but still okay-decaf, you want this drink.
This drink mixes strawberry and coconut syrups in a lemonade, resulting in a taste that’s both exotic and familiar.
Besides the cool taste, it actually looks cool, with this hot pink-eye-catching pinkish-red hue and all.
I’m not fond of lemonade, but when I do get one from Dutch Bros, it will be this!
How To Order:
“Hi, an Iced Tiger’s Blood Lemonade, thanks!”
Ingredients:
- Dutch lemonade

Dutch Frosts (Caffeine-Free)
In the mood to slide into something rich and creamy? You might want to check out Dutch Frosts.
These are mostly ice cream mixed with flavorings. I call it a “sweet treat at anytime of the day” and it’s one that I often head to when I’m feeling a little *wink* decadent.
9. Snickedoodle Frost
Don’t miss the Snickerdoodle Frost! It’s white chocolate, cinnamon, chocolate macadamia nut syrup—that’s right, all in one lusciously cool drink.
My personal tip?
Add a shot of decaf espresso. It turns the drink into a cinnamon coffee crisp, and it’s absolutely delicious.

Another one is the Strawberry Lavender Frost, which is a sophisticated mix of strawberry sweetness and a little something extra from the lavender.
The combo is a mix of summer sweetness and like, I don’t know… fancy mom vibes?
Don’t panic if you’re not vibing on the flowers. Just ask if they can pump up the strawberry or even add some vanilla for you.
Quick heads-up, the lavender syrup isn’t always around in every location. I know it’s been there in the last two months, but you never know.
How To Order:

On to healthier treats. Dutch smoothies are made primarily from fruit purées, syrups, and ice.
Since they contain zero caffeine, these drinks are a refreshing option for any time of the day.
11. Caramel Apple Smoothie
Caramel apple is one of the gems within Dutch Bros’ secret menu smoothies.
It’s a blend of green apple, decadent whipped cream, and a buttery caramel drizzle. It’s like sipping on a liquid apple pie but with a tart kick.
Ask for extra caramel if you have a sweet tooth; it makes the drink even more indulgent.

Obviously, if it’s hot and stuffy out, this is a way to freshen things up AND enjoy that sweet summer vibe.
And if you’re looking for a little dessert treat, I always suggest getting whipped cream, parfait-style. It turns it into a little milkshake and, well, can you really resist that?

What You Need To Know About Dutch Bros Decaf
So those were the Dutch Bros decaf drink options and my personal faves.
But just before you order, there are a few things you may need to know.
This is especially true if you have sensitivities. I want to give you the scoop just in case your dietary needs are make or break.
Rebels Have Caffeine
If you’re a fan of Dutch Bros Rebels, I’ve got some news… The thing about Rebels is… yep, they have caffeine in them.
Even though they’re yummy and all, at the end of the day, they’re essentially the same as any energy drink.
That means that there isn’t a caffeine-free one on offer, so if you’re off the caffeine train, just be aware!
Cold Brews Have Caffeine Too
Now, you might be scratching your head, wondering why Dutch Bros has decaf coffee but skips on decaf cold brews.
And turns out it’s pretty simple – Dutch Bros’ cold brews come ready-made (in cans) and are ready to pour, so no decaf options for us.
It sucks, I know, especially if you’re a cold brew lover like me.
But now you’re in the know and can plan your caffeine-free Dutch Bros adventure accordingly.
Even Chais Have Caffeine Too
Chai lovers take note: even their chai drinks aren’t caffeine-free.
They use Oregon chai, one of the full-to-go mixes, so you can expect about 35 mg of caffeine in a 12 oz serving(2).
It’s less strong than coffee, but it’s still a pretty good hit of caffeine when you’re being careful.

You Can Get Drinks Half-Caf
In that middle ground where you want to cut back on caffeine but aren’t ready to go full decaf? Dutch Bros has a solution: half-caf drinks.
It’s a sort of hybrid mix of regular and decaf beans. It’s actually a pretty clever way to strike a balance between full-octane and no-octane.
So, if it sounds right for you, pick some up from the order window.
Dutch Bros Decaf Beans
For the home baristas out there, you’re in luck. Dutch Bros sells their private reserve decaf beans online. And you can use them with most of our copycat recipes.
Snag a bag from Amazon or directly from their website.
I’ve tried the regular beans myself, and they’re the best way to bring the Dutch Bros experience into your own kitchen.
Putting It Together
There is definitely more to Dutch Bros decaf drinks than just hunting down ‘bevies’ without caffeine—it’s about landing the perfect cup for your mood, your tastebuds, and your health needs.
This is more than just a quick menu scan: it’s your chance to find something new and secret on the menu.
Go ahead and grab your next Dutch Bros! I can’t wait for you to see all the things drink magic can do, even when there’s no caffeine involved.
