Top 5 Favorite Coffee Chains
If you know me you know I LOVE iced coffee. I’ve tried many coffee shops and have rated my top five coffee chains that I’ve found in my travels around the US!
#1: Starbucks
We all are familiar with Starbucks and it still remains my favorite coffee chain.
They started back in 1971 with their first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market and through the years expanded to other areas in the US and worldwide. The name was inspired by the classic “Moby Dick.” In the book the name of the first mate on the Pequod was Starbuck.
My order: iced hazlenut oatmilk shaken espresso
#2: 7 Brew
I had heard of 7 Brew for so long before trying it for the first time just last month in a small town in Southern Colorado. I loved it so much I made sure my husband and I stopped the next day on our way back home. The coffee was perfection and the customer service we received was so kind and welcoming.
7 Brew started in Arkansas in 2017 with their 7 original coffees. They are a drive-thru only and pride themselves in serving their customers quickly!
My order: iced cinnamon roll with oat milk
#3: Dunkin
Dunk has forever been a favorite of mine. When I was living at my parents house back in eastern PA I would go so often the workers knew me and my order. It was my morning staple.
Dunkin was founded back in 1950 and is the largest coffee and donuts brand in the US. There are more than 13,000 locations!
My order: iced oatmilk caramel latte
#4: Scooters
The first time I went to Scooters was in a small town in western Kansas. I had never heard of it but my sister-in-law recommended it and we had to give it a try while we were there.
Scooters was born in 1998 with the first drive-thru opening in Nebraska. The name fits with their mission of helping their customers to “scoot in and scoot out” quickly.
My order: iced snickerdoodle oatmilk latte
#5: Dutch Bros
I didn’t have Dutch Bros until I came out to Colorado and luckily we had several in a short distance from our first apartment.
Dutch Bros was started in 1992 as a pushcart in downtown Oregon and expanded to 17 total states in the US.
