Dutch Bros Coffee Expands to Northeast Florida: A New Drive-Thru Location on Beach Blvd
Dutch Bros Coffee, the popular Oregon-based coffee chain, is set to open a new location in Northeast Florida, marking its 11th site in the region. This exciting development not only enhances the local coffee scene but also reflects Dutch Bros’ continued growth trajectory.
New Construction Plans on Beach Boulevard
On June 17, the city issued a mobility fee calculation certificate for a 950-square-foot drive-thru Dutch Bros kiosk located on a 2.26-acre parcel at 5440 Beach Blvd, situated at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Spring Glen Road. Here are some key details about this upcoming site:
- Ownership: The vacant land is owned by J&J Real Estate Ltd., associated with the ABC Fine Wine & Spirits headquarters in Orlando.
- Design: The Dutch Bros location will feature a double drive-thru with no indoor or outdoor seating, aligning with the brand’s kiosk format.
- Consulting Firm: The civil engineering for the project is managed by England-Thims & Miller Inc. based in Jacksonville.
Current and Upcoming Locations in Northeast Florida
The expansion adds to the growing list of Dutch Bros locations across Northeast Florida. Presently, four sites are operational, with several more in planning stages. Here’s a rundown of the existing locations:
- St. Augustine: 50 McCoy Way (Opened August 2024)
- Jacksonville Locations:

Limited Food Options
While primarily beverage-focused, the chain offers a small selection of pastries, granola bars, and muffin tops, with no cooking facilities at the locations.
The Dutch Bros Journey
Since its inception in 1992, Dutch Bros Coffee has established itself as a leader in the coffee industry. The company went public in 2021, trading under the stock symbol BROS on the New York Stock Exchange, and by March 31, 2025, it had grown to 1,012 locations across 18 states.
The pronunciation of the name is particularly important—it’s “Bros” not “Brothers.” As the company moves into Northeast Florida, it aims to attract coffee lovers with its unique offerings and vibrant atmosphere.
Changes on Beach Blvd: ABC Fine Wine & Spirits and Dollar Tree
In addition to Dutch Bros, the Beach Boulevard property may experience further transformations. A permit application has been submitted to convert the existing 10,035-square-foot store at 5440 Beach Blvd for Dollar Tree, a discount retailer with deep roots in the community.
Key Information on Dollar Tree’s Plans
- No immediate plans for closure of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, as confirmed by Chris Quarles, VP of Real Estate for ABC.
- Discussions have occurred regarding the possible move, but specifics remain unsettled.
Existing ABC Fine Wine & Spirits Presence
ABC Fine Wine & Spirits has a strong footprint in Northeast Florida, operating 14 locations in the area. Meanwhile, Dollar Tree currently lists 51 locations across Northeast Florida, emphasizing the competitive retail landscape.
Conclusion
The introduction of Dutch Bros Coffee on Beach Boulevard is an exciting addition to Northeast Florida’s coffee culture. As the chain continues its expansion, local residents can look forward to diverse beverage options, alongside the potential for a new retailer in the area.
