Dutch Bros Coffee Planned In Lake Elsinore

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Lake Elsinore is poised to get a Dutch Bros Coffee drive-thru stand, and on Tuesday the city's Planning Commission will consider documents required for the project.

The single-story, 950-square-foot Dutch Bros Coffee is slated for 32250 Mission Trail, in the same commercial center as Pins 'N Pockets. The new coffee stand proposal includes a two-lane drive-thru with no speaker systems — instead, Dutch Bros employees will take orders while drivers are in the queue.

A walk-up ordering window is also proposed for the stand; no indoor customer access is planned. Proposed business hours are 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Currently, Southwest Riverside County has no Dutch Bros Coffee locations in operation.

Dutch Bros Coffee was founded in 1992 by Dane and Travis Boersma and first opened in Grants Pass, Oregon. Since that time, Dutch Bros Coffee franchises have opened in 11 states, according to the company.

Dutch Bros Coffee offers a full lineup of cold and hot coffees and teas, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages. Some baked goods are also on the menu.

As part of Tuesday's meeting, the Planning Commission will consider the project's commercial design review and a conditional use permit. Tuesday's Lake Elsinore Planning Commission meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the city's Cultural Center, 183 N. Main Street. See the full meeting agenda here.
