Coffee drive-thru chain Dutch Bros. is making quick progress on its first location inside of 610. Dutch Bros has been in the Houston market since 2021, and their growth has picked up lightning speed compared to similar chains, Scooters, or 7 Brew. Over the past four years, Dutch Bros has worked their way from the suburbs into the Beltway and is now facing the “final frontier,” the inner loop. This new location is at 2301 University Blvd, Houston, TX 77005. The building started as a Salad and Go in 2023, and before closing, this location also represented the only Salad and Go inside the loop. A Salad and Go location at 7100 Garth Rd, Baytown, TX 77521, has also been reported by HHR readers as undergoing a conversion to a Dutch Bros. Although complete, the Baytown location reportedly never opened as Salad and Go.
I’m glad that this traffic at this intersection will be even worse from all the people using the drive-thru
