Updated in 2021! They started in Oakland, but Blue Bottle Coffee has expanded their reach in several large cities, with help from Nestlé in recent years. Nonetheless, they continue to roast their own coffee, and each minimalist Blue Bottle Coffee shop boasts a pure, clean image. Pretty much their entire drink menu can be made vegan, and they have a range of dairy-free sweet and savory eats available in each region. The options are outlined below in our Blue Bottle Coffee dairy-free menu guide.
Dairy-Free & Vegan Menu Guide to Blue Bottle Coffee
This beloved coffee chain has much more than a milk substitute. They offer two types of dairy-free milk alternatives and can make their whole drink menu dairy-free. They also have a rather big range (for a coffeehouse) of dairy-free food. The items below are vegan, unless otherwise noted, and available in all U.S. regions, unless otherwise noted.
