"My favorite coffee spot!! Customer Service is 100% pure energetic positive vibes! The coffee is strong and delicious and the wait is fairly quick. (About the same as Starbucks, only at Dutch Bros. they use the wait time as a chance to ask about your day and get to know you more..)"

"I’ve always had amazing service and quality of drinks here. I do with people driving understood how the drive thru worked, that’s not on yall. Parking to come in being larger and easier to access would possibly get the drive thru li es down"

"We all likely know by now how great Dutch Bros is, whether its their customer service, employees, or their incredible drinks, Dutch Bros consistently delivers on all fronts. I have to say, this particular DB is the fastest one I've been to. I was greeted with a smile, asked how my morning has been. Right after the brief pleasantries. My order was taken swiftly and accurately. Its worth mentioning, both sides of the drive thru lines had about 4 cars each, so yes 8 cars in front of me... i was in and out in no mare than several minutes. I was blown away how quickly they were getting people in and out! I was in the far lane and even had my drinks brought right out to my side while 2 cars were still in front of me. I was able to grab my drinks and jam! Wonderful job Merced DB management and staff!! TOP NOTCH!!"
