The first Dutch Bros coffee location in Lenexa is expected to open in a matter of weeks in the growing Vista mixed commercial and residential area off K-10 and Ridgeview Road.
Lenexa Dutch Bros is set to open in May
- Jasmine Fast, the chain’s operator for the Kansas City region, said the new coffee shop at 18181 W 101st St. should open early in May.
- She told the Shawnee Mission Post last week an exact date wasn’t set, with a few final logistical steps to be completed.
Dutch Bros isn’t a sit down coffee shop
- The building itself is less than 1,000 square feet.
- Once opened, customers will have to order their drinks at a drive-thru window.
- There is also a walk-up window for ordering and a few picnic tables, but no indoor seating is available.
Dutch Bros has a menu with coffee and noncoffee drinks
- It serves cold brews, mochas and blended coffees, as well as non-coffee drinks, like teas, hot chocolate, smoothies, energy drinks and lemonade.
- It also has a line of Dutch sodas in electric berry, hyperchrome, OG gummy bear, watermelon and other flavors.
- There is also a snack menu that features three flavors of muffin tops and granola bars.

Lenexa is part of Dutch Bros’ Kansas City growth
- The company started in the Pacific Northwest in 1992 as a coffee cart and first arrived in the Kansas City area with a location at the Legends in Kansas City, Kan.
- Dutch Bros has also opened a shop in east Shawnee just off Shawnee Mission Parkway and Flint Street.
- More locations are planned in the area, specifically two in Olathe, according to the company.
The Vista development is growing
- The Vista is expected to bring commercial, retail and mixed-density housing to the area where Lenexa and Olathe meet.
- Earlier in April, the Lenexa Planning Commission signed off on a 8,000-square-foot retail development, which proposes a convenience store and more nearby.
- Olathe has also grown around K-10 and Ridgeview.
