Welcome Scooters to Chisago City!


In 1998, Scooter’s Coffee was born. Co-founders Don and Linda Eckles began an amazing journey when they opened their first drive-thru coffeehouse in Bellevue, Nebraska. Their keys to success: find a great location and stay committed to high-quality drinks, speed of service, and a BIG smile. We can't wait to visit our very own Scooters in Chisago City off of Hwy 8!
