Dunn Bros Coffee

This is the best Dunn Brothers I’ve ever experienced! The best ambience, drink selection, food selection, and staff. I was thoroughly impressed and looking forward to making this my new hangout/​study destination.

Ok, i give them a 3^rd star just for the atmosphere of the joint. Really was digging on the interior design it was part upscale and part hipster and some how it worked. it looks corporate but at least corporate with class. I cant give this place higher than 3 stars though the coffee was pretty mediocre at best, the staff barista was borderline hostile. Sadly, this is by far the best coffee i could find in the Minneapolis area i mean besides going to a starbucks… but on second thought at least at starbucks i will be serviced with a smile. meh minneapolis im sorry you guys really need some better coffee spots.

Great place to do work and/​or study. They have their garage window open to the street which can sometimes get a bit noisy but it’s not too bad. They don’t play the music very loud, so you can still hear yourself think and wifi is fast and strong.
Good number of outlets, lots of tables, couple sofas/​chairs. Really comfortable, productive place with nice, simple décor. Pretty spacious, good food (sandwiches, soups, small plates, muffins, pastries) and drinks (coffee, beer, wine). They have a HH on weekdays (?) 5−7pm, which doesn’t take much off the price on small plates, but a buck is a buck!
I got a bowl of soup and half sandwich (rachels). The tomato basil soup was pretty good — tangy, pieces of tomato, tastes just like how I make it at home. Half Rachel’s sandwich was pretty good too! Thick, rye bread, fresh ingredients, delicious. Just enough for a light to medium sized dinner ($ 8).

’tis the Pinterest-​y-​est coffee shop in all the land!
Garage door — CHECK!
Lights strung up all over — CHECK!
Wallpapered beams — CHECK!
Quaint lettered sign on the wall — CHECK!
Tatchos — CHECK!
I’m in love with all of these things with the exception of the tatchos. Nachos are meant to be chip-​y.
Anyway. The standard Dunn Bros coffee dranks here but made wayyyy better than your average bear (bros) with the addition of wine & beer! Their food menu is lovely (tatchos aside…) and is best enjoyed during their happy hour which is from 2 – 7.
Tons of tables to get your work on, a bar to get your drink on and a comfy couch to get your book on. Loooove.

Great coffee and food. Not a place to come if you’re looking to chat with a friend, but a pretty great place to come to work, study or read. The atmosphere is strictly business: quiet typing away at keyboards and paper shuffling. Four stars because the chairs are uncomfortable after about a half hour (probably to their benefit) and the tables are really close together. I bump into someone at every visit.

Came here on a trip to the Minneapolis area. Seems like a great spot to sit and relax with friends. They have windows that open up like a garage door so that it creates a patio like feel while still being indoors. The atmosphere and décor is really calm and airy. Great iced coffees and regular hot coffee. I even bought some ground coffee to take home. They also have cute beer glass that say «‘Sota» to buy!

I am giving them two stars based only on interactions with staff and owner. There are a lot of places to go in the Twin Cities and until recently this was a favorite. However, echoing some earlier reviews, the staff (and owner) is not very friendly or customer focused at all and it seems like you’re bothering them when you order.

This is the best Dunn Bros in Minneapolis. Super friendly staff and the freshest coffee, as usual. This location also has great snacks and a cozy atmosphere for meeting friends or getting some work done on my laptop. Great people watching through the garage door windows that open onto Hennepin.

For the past few weeks I have pretty much camped out here.
I have settled in at the bar, by the window on the left side, by the window in the back, in the center, and even alongside the wall on the right. All pretty cozy spots. I’ve never had issues trying to find an outlet; it’s a matter if my cord can reach it.
As far as Dunn Bros go, this location brews the BEST coffee. Delicious. However, because they roast their own coffee, it gets annoyingly loud when they do.
Don’t get me started on the chicken quesadillas with the salsa. I would buy a bucket of the salsa if I could. I also love their pistachio and lemon poppy muffins, as well as the lemonade and vanilla nirvana iced coffee.
I love the ambiance, the bathrooms that are usually kept clean, the garage door, sitting by the windows, and the ability to find parking. (I did get towed recently while I was camping out here but no one is to blame but myself ugh).
But, it is true, the WIFI SUCKS. I also noticed that the music, although I like the genre, has been getting increasingly louder.
**Update: There is only 2 baristas that are actually friendly and the rest hates the world.
I have temporarily relocated to a new location because I need to get sh*t done.
Please D-​Bro, we need better WIFI.

INTERNET UNRELIABLE
Has potential as a great spot: Great light, plenty of plants, not blaring obnoxious music…
Also this location has a few extra perks compared to most coffee shops in the area: Small affordable plates with sausages, cheese, flatbreads. & charcuterie, plus wine & beer and a great happy hour.
But if one of your primary reasons for coffee-​shopping is getting work done, you may want to look elsewhere. They have two wifi networks, and both seem to be pretty unreliable. I’ve had to leave twice now, because the Internet did not work. Giving a lower rating now to see if they pay attention to these reviews and appropriately respond.
I’m going to give this location a few more tries, because I really want to like it and become a regular. But if the wi-​fi continues to be unreliable, this 2-​star review will stand, and I’ll have to find another regular spot.

First Visit: my mocha is amazing. quiet atmosphere, good for studying. pretty big for coffee shop. they have so many items in their food menu including vegan. next time I am going to try those.
Second Visit: I am reducing the rating from 5 to 3 stars. Reasons are:
Food — I ordered the Scrambled Tofu. it was not even scrambled, it was just cut into cubes. Tofu did not tasted fresh. There were two slices of bread it came with, but no butter spread or anything. Not sure how they wanted me to eat that.
Noise — So yesterday i wrote that its pretty quiet here and good place to study, which is very untrue. Nose level here is really high not only from the people sitting here but also from the Coffee bar and Kitchen. They are continuously smashing things.
Burning Smell — I don’t know WTF is going on in the Kitchen but its quite a burning smell coming from there in repeated intervals.
Mocha — So yesterday they made my amazing mocha but today it didn’t tasted well. On top of it they didn’t had large mug to put it into. I don’t like sipping my coffee from plastic cups.

Incredibly rude staff but otherwise great place. Love the vibe and of course Dunn Bro’s always has superior coffee!

Beautiful environment. Impossible parking situation, which is standard in uptown. The granite counters running along the wall, which are specifically there for computers, are way to high and narrow to reasonably work at. They need to lower and widen the counter so you aren’t typing with floating arms up at chest level. The chocolate they use in any mochas and hot chocolates is so bland and scanty that there’s almost no chocolate flavor at all. The building is beautiful despite the uncomfortable seating throughout.

Stopped into this Dunn Brothers since my usual favorite, JJ’s Coffee & Wine Bistro, was closed up randomly. I hate to say it but this may be my new favorite coffee/​wine stop.
LIghting is warm, décor is rustic/​boho chic, service was fantastic. It’s difficult to find a coffee/​wine combo in Minneapolis, and this place was perfect for what I need to get into my writing zone. Pleasantly surprised that it was a hybrid — I wish all Dunn Bros were that way! Perfect location for uptowners, parking on street wasn’t bad, coffee buzz, wine buzz, cool breeze, and the entertainment of Hennepin Ave people watching.
I always get the same thing for coffee at Dunn Bros so it doesn’t make any difference to me if the other drinks taste great (Vanilla Nirvana — always good). Wine/​beer/​a few new snacks were fun to check out and I look forward to coming back and trying them out.
Nutshell — Good place to post up and get some work done, and then relax with a glass of wine when the work is done.

Great atmosphere, cozy but breezy when they have the garage door open. Good prices, great happy hour and friendly staff!

The layout and character of the place is the star. The coffee… eh its quite alright.
This place doesn’t have a private lot, but there is street and residential parking nearby so its really no hassle.
The coffeeshop itself has nice big windows, letting you have a scenic view of what is transpiring on Hennepin ave. One of the giant windows rolls up and down like a garage door, which is a really neat feature on a nice day.
Upon entering this place, if I hadn’t known that Dunn Bros is a chain/​franchise, I would have thought it was a neat ‘hipster-​type” coffee shop (not that the customers there gave off that vibe). This place apparently also serves beer and wine and has happy hours. I stuck with the coffee selection, and ended up with a sea salt caramel ice latte.
As an added perk, check ins on Unilocal here yields a $ 0.50 reduction in your bill!
There are a good number of tables and chairs around, in addition to a few tables outside. Most tables are close enough to an outlet for one to be able to give their electronic goodies some juice. Wifi is available, just ask the barista for the password.
The coffee itself was no great shakes — did not taste the sea salt, only kind of tasted the caramel. Still, it was eminently drinkable, and didn’t have too much caffeine in it so I was able to be focused and productive.
The noise level in this place is quite high — traffic noise from the cars in the street, the hum of the coffee mill or whatever that giant contraption is, in addition to the sounds of a barista in action. Music also plays overhead, but it doesn’t really stand out from the other noises. Despite all this, or maybe because of the high ceilings in this place, one can easily focus and be productive, or have a nice conversation with your friends without disturbing others.
All in all, decent, not too exciting coffee, but a great layout with good amenities. I’d come back, definitely.
Side note: The baristas were quite stylish, with vests and bowties. Haven’t been to other Dunn bros, but its a nice touch. Very classy.

Pinkies out at this posh little Dunn Bros!
Standard coffee and pastries. But, also small bites (flatbreads, charcuterie, cheese plates) and alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, wine-​based cocktails). HH 4 – 7 daily.
The space is light and airy, with a massive picture window that slides open in the summer. On a nice day, side walk seating is available and set aback just far enough from the road that the traffic isn’t a terrible nuisance.
Plenty of two people tables, but also seating at the bar and stools to pull up to counter tops. And, if you’re feeling sassy, you can kick back in the lounge area, which boasts a leather (pleather?) sofa and a few other fluffy seating options.
WiFi runs smoothly here. CM Jon, maybe they were just getting the kinks straightened out early on?
Don’t forget to check in on your Unilocal app – you’ll score a $ 0.50 discount… sure wins over my cheapskate of a heart!

Unfortunately, my iced tea tasted like coffee! Blech! Always such a disappointment when you take a sip and realize your tea has been in a coffee container.
It’s nice that they have some food options. We had a flat bread, which was good. They have a garage door thing that they leave open when it’s nice outside, so there’s lots of fresh air.

New! Great seating, great happy hour 3 – 7:00 with local beer and wine, nice tables, couch, decent # of plugins, and awesome garage door window dealio. Sidewalk seating a plus.
Would be 5 stars if the wifi worked. Unfortunately they haven’t figured it out yet. Kind of a non starter imo but will surely return once they have working internet.

If you’ve ever seen the original Power Rangers, this Dunn Bros is like the green/​white dude. He’s the ULTIMATE Power Ranger, w/​dragon zord and all, that always came immediately from outer space or the depths of the ocean to come save Jason and co.
So, why the Power Rangers analogy?
This Dunn Bros is like the green/​white ranger. In other words, this is the Dunn Bros of all Dunn Bros. Why?
+The biz has a huge open bay-​windowless space in the wall (no window) that allows for awesome ample airflow.
+They serve both local WINE AND BEER and have them discounted during happy hour from 3 – 7 PM. Apps as well.
+The friendly staff members dress up! I think the dude that gave me my cold press rocked a black club-​like vest. Fancy.
+About my cold press, it was full of delicious caffeine tastiness.
+There’s plenty of beautiful wood tables and chairs and a huge leather sofa.
However, in my attempt to camp out there, the WiFi didn’t work at all. This includes myself and fellow laptopers. Hopefully, it’ll work if you when you visit. It’s really a small issue, and if I could give a ¾s star I would. But yeah, this chain is def. steppin’ up their game, and I love it.
