The Mocha Challenge at Dutch Bros

If they don’t have dairy-free chocolate Sauce: Skip the mocha and choose a different flavor like vanilla or caramel instead.

Dutch Bros “Breve” Explained

What is a Breve?

Coffee drink made with half & half instead of milk
“Breve” = Italian for “short/brief” but in US coffee culture = half & half
Very rich, creamy, high fat
VERY HIGH in lactose and dairy

Examples of Breve drinks:

Caramelizer Breve
White Coffee Breve
Annihilator Breve
911 Breve

Why to avoid:

Half & half is much higher in lactose than regular milk
Will definitely trigger symptoms if lactose intolerant
Not low FODMAP friendly

How to convert: Order the drink as a LATTE with dairy-free milk instead of a Breve.

“I’d like a Caramelizer, but can you make it as a latte with oat milk instead of a breve?”

Soft Top: Dutch Bros’ Whipped Sahne

What is Soft Top?

Dutch Bros’ proprietary whipped topping
Similar to whipped Sahne
Contains dairy

Why to avoid:

High in dairy/lactose
Not low FODMAP friendly

How to order without it:

“Ohne Soft Top, please” or “Skip the Soft Top”

Freezes and Shakes: Can’t Be Modified

Freezes:

Blended iced coffee drinks
Made with a Freeze Mix that contains dairy
The mix is pre-made and cannot be substituted
Cannot be made dairy-free

Shakes:

Traditional milkshakes
Contain milk
Cannot be made dairy-free

What to do: Choose a different drink category like an iced latte with dairy-free milk or an iced Americano.

Sugar-Free Syrups: Proceed with Caution

Dutch Bros offers sugar-free syrup options, but be careful:

Potential Issues:

Polyols (high FODMAP):
- Sorbitol
- Xylitol
- Mannitol
- Erythritol (better tolerated but still can cause issues)
Artificial sweeteners:
- Sucralose (Splenda)
- Aspartame
- Can trigger IBS symptoms even if not high FODMAP

What to do:

Ask to see the ingredient list
If it contains polyols, avoid it
If it contains sucralose/aspartame and you tolerate those, it may be okay
Safer to use a small amount of regular sugar or regular syrup

Coffee and IBS: Important Considerations

Coffee is low FODMAP BUT it can still trigger IBS symptoms:

How coffee affects IBS:

Stimulates the colon - Can cause urgency and cramping
Increases gut motility - Can lead to diarrhea
Acidic - Can irritate sensitive stomachs
Dehydrating - Can affect digestion

Who may struggle:

IBS-D (diarrhea-predominant)
IBS-M (mixed type)

Who may benefit:

IBS-C (constipation-predominant) - coffee can help with bowel movements

Tips to reduce symptoms:

Choose cold brew (lower acidity)
Order smaller sizes
Drink with food
Avoid drinking on an empty stomach
Consider half-caf or decaf

Dutch Bros Size Guide

Dutch Bros sizes:

Small (12 oz)
Medium (16 oz)
Large (20 oz)
Extra Large (24 oz) - called “Mega”

Recommended for IBS:

✅ Small (12 oz) - good portion control
✅ Medium (16 oz) - standard choice
⚠️ Large (20 oz) - significant caffeine/milk
⚠️ Extra Large/Mega (24 oz) - very large, may be too much

Why size matters:

Caffeine content
Amount of dairy-free milk
Sugar content (if adding syrups)
Cost

Almond Milk: Sweetened vs. Unsweetened

Dutch Bros offers almond milk in two versions:

Unsweetened Almond Milk:

✅ Ohne added sugar
✅ Lower calories
✅ Neutral flavor
Best for: People who want to control sweetness

Vanilla-Sweetened Almond Milk:

✅ Slightly sweet
✅ Vanilla flavor
More calories than unsweetened
Best for: People who want a hint of sweetness without adding syrup

Both are low FODMAP - choose based on your taste preference!

Ordering Tips and Tricks

1. Be Specific:

“Iced latte with oat milk - Ohne dairy milk” (not just “iced latte”)

2. Use Negative Language for Clarity:

3. Ask Questions:

“Does the chocolate Sauce contain dairy? Do you have a dairy-free version?”

4. Start Einfache:

Order an Americano with almond milk first to gauge your tolerance

5. Customize Gradually:

Add one syrup at a time to see what you tolerate

6. Use the Drive-Thru:

Dutch Bros is famous for their drive-thru service - you can ask questions through the window
