Dutch Bros sizes are small, medium and large, plus a kids size, and the cup is bigger for iced drinks than for hot ones. A small hot drink is 12 oz, while a small iced drink is 16 oz. Here are the cup sizes, how they compare to Starbucks and which size is the best value.

Dutch Bros Cup Sizes (oz)
These are the sizes reported by Food Republic (March 2026). Dutch Bros does not publish a size chart on its website, so treat them as a guide and check the app for your shop.
| Size | Hot | Iced | Blended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 12 oz | 16 oz | 16 oz |
| Medium | 16 oz | 24 oz | 24 oz |
| Large | 20 oz | 32 oz | 32 oz |
| Kids | 10 oz (caffeine-free drinks) |
Sources do not fully agree. Tasting Table (February 2026) lists a 9 oz kids cup and a 24 oz large hot drink. Sizes can also differ between shops, so if the exact ounces matter, ask the broista (Dutch Bros’ name for its baristas).
Why Iced Drinks Come in Bigger Cups
An iced drink needs room for ice, so Dutch Bros uses a larger cup for the same size name. A medium iced drink comes in a 24 oz cup, compared with 16 oz for a medium hot drink. You are not getting 24 oz of coffee: part of the cup is ice. Ask for light ice if you want more drink.
Dutch Bros vs Starbucks Sizes

How Many Espresso Shots per Size?
Dutch Bros does not publish shot counts. Food Republic quotes a Reddit user who says they work there and that most coffees get 2 shots in a small or medium and 4 in a large, but that is not confirmed. Some drinks always have more: the 9-1-1 has six shots in every size. For caffeine by drink, see our Dutch Bros caffeine guide.
Which Size Is the Best Value?
- Large usually costs the least per ounce, and is best if you finish your drink.
- Medium is the most common order and a safe middle ground.
- Small is best for strong or very sweet drinks, or a lower-calorie treat.
- Kids sizes are only for caffeine-free drinks such as chocolate milk or a smoothie.
Typical prices for every size are on our Dutch Bros menu with prices page.
