This quaint drive-thru, located conveniently in the center of our vibrant community, has become a staple for coffee lovers seeking both quick service and quality brews. But there’s more to this beloved coffeehouse than just its delectable beverages; it carries a rich history and a unique brand identity that resonates deeply with its patrons.

The Beginnings 

The story of Scooter’s Coffee began in 1998, when founders Don and Linda Eckles embarked on a journey to bring high-quality coffee to their community. The opening of their first drive-thru coffeehouse in Bellevue, Nebraska, began a remarkable adventure. From the outset, the Eckles were committed to three fundamental principles: locating great spots for their coffeehouses, maintaining high standards for their drinks, and delivering speedy service and a bright smile. This dedication laid the groundwork for what Scooter’s Coffee would become.

The name “Scooter’s Coffee,” originating from the brand’s desire to offer swift service that enabled customers to “scoot in and scoot out” quickly, perfectly encapsulated their mission. This ethos of quick and friendly service, combined with the uniqueness of their offering, played a pivotal role in shaping the brand’s identity and lifting it above the ordinary café experience. This distinctive approach to coffee service has not only made Scooter’s a household name but has also fostered a loyal customer base that appreciates both the quality of the coffee and the warmth of the service.

The Offerings 

Scooter’s Coffee stands out for its meticulous attention to detail, from selecting only the top 10% of specialty coffee beans worldwide to crafting its signature drink, the Caramelicious. This rich, caramel-infused concoction captures the essence of the brand’s commitment to flavor and quality.

Furthermore, Scooter’s Coffee has maintained a delightful tradition of placing smiley stickers on every drink, a practice initiated by Linda Eckles in 1998 as a personal touch to brighten customers’ days. This gesture has since become a cherished part of the Scooter’s experience, embodying the brand’s slogan, “Amazing People, Amazing Drinks…Amazingly Fast!”
