Products & Services
The “Local Flavor of Dunn Bros Coffee” isn’t just an
advertising slogan, it’s a promise we make to our neighbors and guests
every day.
The first Dunn Bros Coffee opened in St. Paul, Minnesota back in 1987. This was a little coffee shop with a big difference: all the coffee beans were roasted right in the shop to deliver the freshest tasting, highest quality coffee possible. Whether our guests sipped their drinks in our shop or brought home a bag of our fresh roasted beans, they discovered Dunn Bros Coffee delivered the richest flavor possible. Today, most Dunn Bros Coffee shops still roast beans daily, right where it’s served.
But there’s more to “local flavor” than the taste of our coffee.
Most Dunn Bros Coffee shops are locally owned and locally operated. Chances are the owner of your favorite Dunn Bros Coffee shop lives right down the street. You’re not just a customer, you’re our neighbor.
You’re invited to relax in our shops, meet a friend, get some work done. Or we can be a welcome break from your busy day. All our shops have comfortable seating, free WiFi and use of a computer. Discover the great bean selection at the bean bar. Many locations have meetings rooms you can reserve. Local musicians perform and artists often display their work in our shops. In a hurry? Many of our locations have a drive-through.
Being a friendly neighbor, serving superb coffee and a great variety of beans in a comfortable environment is what we mean by “The Local Flavor of Dunn Bros Coffee.”
