Baton Rouge residents love coffee, and soon there will be another brew to choose from. Dutch Bros, a coffee chain founded in Grants Pass, Oregon, will soon open its doors on the north side of West Lee Drive. The proposed 950-square-foot coffee shop will include patio space but no interior seating, as it is drive-thru friendly. Known for its specialty coffee, blended drinks, and friendly service, the company has expanded its reach to 1,000 locations across the U.S. This marks Dutch Bros’ continued growth in Louisiana, bringing its signature energy and community-focused atmosphere to local coffee lovers. ■ dutchbros.com
