The current location of the Ballast Point Car Wash (3616 W. Ballast Point Blvd) will be replaced with a 950 SF coffee drive-thru. Dutch Bros is a prominent brand in the Northwest United States, with many raving about its variety of caffeinated beverages.

Not only does Dutch Bros do coffee, but they offer energy drinks, teas, lemonades, smoothies, and even their own soda brand. Their baristas are also called “bro-vistas”. The beverage chain is seeing over 150 locations open this year alone. The South Tampa location will mark one of the first in Florida with the potential for one in Valencia, St. Johns County, and Lake Nona as well.

All of the shops that are opening will be company owned and locally operated. The only beverage chains that are bigger than Dutch Bros are Dunkin’ and Starbucks. Similar to Chick Fil A, it is reported that workers greet drivers outside and take orders and merge two-lanes into one. Smaller orders are then ran to the cars further back with an “escape lane” to exit the drive-thru without having to wait until getting to the window to receive an order.
