One of the 10 confirmed or potential Dutch Bros Coffee locations in Northeast Florida landed a permit Feb. 6 for a kiosk in St. Johns County.
St. Johns County issued a permit for Tatco Construction LLC of Edmond, Oklahoma, to build the 950-square-foot drive-thru kiosk at a project cost of $750,000 at 4640 Race Track Road in Saint Johns.
JEA reviewed a service availability request for Dutch Bros on a 0.75-acre site. It would provide stacking for 27 cars.
Bowman is shown on a site plan as the designer. Z Development Services of Orlando is the applicant.
An Atlantic Retail commercial real estate site plans indicates the address as the Shops at Race Track Road, which is at southeast Race Track Road and St. Johns Parkway.
Dutch Bros carries coffee, drinks and a limited menu of pastries with no cooking on-site. It offers cold brew, chai, hot coffees, energy drinks, teas, lemonades, smoothies and its signature Dutch sodas.
The food menu includes granola bars and muffin tops.
Dutch Bros Inc. is based in Grants Pass, Oregon.
The name is pronounced “Bros” and not as “brothers.”
In what looks like the 10th area location, Dutch Bros Coffee appears to be considering a Jacksonville drive-thru kiosk at northeast Flagler Center Boulevard and Old St. Augustine Road.
City utility JEA is reviewing a request to determine service availability for a 950-square-foot kiosk on a 0.72-acre site. There is a dual-lane drive-thru and no indoor or outdoor seating.
The site is in Flagler Center, which is south of Old St. Augustine Road between Philips Highway and Interstate 95.
JEA also previously received a service determination request for a ninth area Dutch Bros at the Harbour Village shopping center at northwest Atlantic Boulevard and San Pablo Road, near Queen’s Harbour Yacht & Country Club.
That 950-square-foot project is shown on a 0.61-acre site, with a double drive-thru but without seating.
Dutch Bros has opened two area stores with a third expected to open soon.
The first area Dutch Bros opened in August 2024 at 50 McCoy Way in St. Augustine, about a half-mile north of a Publix at the Shoppes at Palencia Commons in St. Johns County.
The first Duval County kiosk opened in November 2024 at 5733 Roosevelt Blvd. near Winn-Dixie in West Jacksonville. The site had been a Larry’s Giant Subs, which was demolished.
A kiosk at 7720 Argyle Forest Blvd. in Southwest Jacksonville is expected to open Feb. 12, according to city scheduling records.
Other locations are shown in public records to be in Elevation Pointe in St. Johns County and in Duval County at Point Meadows along Baymeadows Road; at northeast San Jose Boulevard and Loretto Road in Mandarin; and at 7952 Normandy Blvd. in West Jacksonville.
Besides specialty coffee, the company sells its Dutch Bros Rebel energy drink and Nitro Cold Brew coffee.
In 2023, Dutch Bros announced its intentions to enter Northeast Florida.
The company has been expanding and as of Sept. 30, 2024, had 950 locations across 18 states.
It opened 38 shops, 33 of which were company-operated, across 11 states in the July-September third quarter.
It expected to open 150 new kiosks in 2024.
