Popular West Coast Coffee Chain Dutch Bros Coming to Illinois

If you’ve never had Dutch Bros Coffee, you’re in for a treat. This Oregon-based drive-thru coffee chain has built a cult following out West for its rich, smooth coffee and crave-worthy specialty drinks.

I first tried Dutch Bros in Tennessee while on a road trip to Florida. I jumped off the highway to grab a cup, and several miles later, I was kicking myself for not ordering two, it was that good.
