Drive-Thru Coffee in Westminster, CO
Three coffee shops in Westminster, Colorado have a drive-thru their own pages document: Dutch Bros Coffee at 270 W 136th, Ziggi's Coffee at 8525 W. 100th Avenue, and Black Rock Coffee Bar at 10611 Westminster Blvd. If you need one late, Dutch Bros is the answer, open 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
The three differ most on when they close and on whether you can leave the car. Ziggi's is drive-thru only and shuts at 5:00 PM, which suits a weekday commute and nothing after it. Dutch Bros adds a walk-up window, and Black Rock is the only one with an indoor cafe, open until 8:00 PM.
Our picks
- A coffee run after dinner: Dutch Bros Coffee. Open until 11:00 PM, three hours past the next latest, with a walk-up window if you'd rather not queue in the car.
- A morning commute off Highway 36: Ziggi's Coffee. Drive-thru only with no lobby, a minute off Highway 36, and the highest average here at 4.1.
- When the coffee is really a meeting: Black Rock Coffee Bar. The one shop with an indoor cafe as well as a drive-thru; reviewers mention a fireplace and comfortable chairs.

Opening and closing times on a weekday
Dutch Bros and Black Rock both open at 5:00 AM; Ziggi's starts an hour later at 6:00 AM. The evening is where they spread out: Ziggi's closes at 5:00 PM, Black Rock at 8:00 PM and Dutch Bros at 11:00 PM. For a school pickup or an early shift, any of the three works. For anything after 5, Ziggi's drops out.
Ziggi's own page for the 100th Avenue store lists no hours, so its 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM comes from Restaurantji. It matches what Ziggi's store locator shows, but it is worth a quick check if you are timing a trip near closing.
A 4.1 on 149 reviews versus a 3.7 on 248
All three ratings come from Restaurantji, not Google, and the review counts matter as much as the averages. Ziggi's leads at 4.1, but its reviews are split: a little over half are five stars and about a quarter are one. Black Rock's 4.0 rests on only 29 reviews because the store is new. Dutch Bros sits lowest at 3.7, on 248 reviews, the largest pile of the three.
Prices aren't compared here, since none of the three posts a menu with prices on a page we could quote. The one figure in the summaries is a reviewer's $6.85 small latte at Black Rock.
Westminster addresses that older lists still show
If a roundup sends you to Caribou Coffee at 10611 Westminster Blvd, that is now Black Rock: Caribou's Westminster stores are gone. The Ziggi's at 3013 W 104th Ave is closed, with Navah Coffee House in its place, and iVibe Coffee at 5191 W 112th Ave is closed, with Donutsville Bakery & Cafe now at that address. Scooter's, 7 Brew and The Human Bean have no Westminster store at all.
The options in detail
Dutch Bros Coffee
Westminster's only Dutch Bros, out on 136th Avenue, and the one to know when the coffee run happens outside normal hours: it opens at 5am and stays open until 11pm, seven days a week. Ordering is built around the car, with a walk-up pickup window alongside the drive-thru, and the menu leans sweet and customizable, with Rebel energy drinks and blended espresso next to the coffee. Reviewers single out the staff, who write messages on cup lids and hand out a "puppy cup" for the dog in the back seat. It carries the lowest average rating of the three shops here, though on by far the largest pile of reviews.
Ziggi's Coffee
A drive-thru-only Ziggi's a minute off Highway 36, which is what makes it the commuter pick here: no lobby, no parking hunt, and reviewers say drinks come out in about a minute. The menu runs well past coffee into smoothies, dirty sodas, energy infusions and a locally made breakfast and lunch line, and a chocolate-covered espresso bean comes with every drink. It has the best average rating of the three, though the reviews are polarised rather than uniformly warm: a little over half are five stars and a quarter are one. The catch is the hours, since it closes at 5pm, well before the other two.
Black Rock Coffee Bar
The newest of the three, in The Promenade plaza off 104th, and the only one that gives you a real choice: pull through, or park and go inside. Reviewers describe a clean, modern room with a fireplace and comfortable chairs, which makes it the pick when the coffee run is really a meeting. The chain began as a 150-square-foot drive-thru in Beaverton, Oregon, and the menu now runs to energy drinks, protein drinks and all-day breakfast burritos and egg bites alongside the coffee. Two things to weigh: prices run high, with one reviewer noting a $6.85 small latte, and the rating rests on far fewer reviews than the other two.
How we researched this
A shop earned a row by having its drive-thru stated in writing: Dutch Bros titles its store page as a drive-thru, Ziggi's labels this store's format "Drive-Thru" where its others say "Cafe Location", and Black Rock lists drive-thru among its order options. That rule leaves real gaps. Starbucks has nine Westminster locations and several have drive-thrus, and Dunkin' has stores at 13591 Huron St and 7615 W 88th Ave, but neither chain's store pages would load a store's details, so neither could be documented. LaMar's Donuts and Coffee on N Wadsworth Pkwy never mentions a drive-thru. Treat this as the three documented drive-thrus in town, not all of them.
Every cell in the table is filled. Ziggi's "Drive-thru only" is quoted from a local guide rather than Ziggi's own site, and Black Rock's lobby is quoted from Restaurantji's description. The Opens and Closes columns are weekday times, so check the shop's page before a weekend run or one close to closing.
