Dutch Bros plans Baton Rouge location

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Add another coffee shop to the list of those planned for the fast-growing area near the intersection of Lee and Burbank in Baton Rouge.

Owners of Dutch Bros Coffee, based in Oregon and currently operating in eleven states, have applied for permits to build their first Louisiana location in that area.

If approved, the 950 square-foot Dutch Bros Coffee location would be built between the Wendy’s and Andy’s Frozen Custard on Lee Drive, just south of LSU.

The location would be a drive-thru coffee shop with no indoor seating, according to plans submitted to the East Baton Rouge Parish Planning Commission.

There is already a CC’s Coffee location just across from that spot and both Starbucks and 7 Brew Coffee have locations planned for that same area soon.

Dutch Bros Coffee started in 1992 as a push cart in downtown Grants Pass, Oregon, according the company’s website.

A spokesperson for Dutch Bros Coffee declined to comment about when the company plans to open the Baton Rouge location.
