Like coffee shops used to be - for meeting friends or studying or reading - not just a drive thru

This is the cutest place!! Very welcoming with a classic cafe vibe - also great customer service! I got a caramel iced latte (2 pumps caramel) with oatmilk and it was delicious!! So many different options for everyone :) read more

Good coffee, good service, love the interior. The building could use an AC due to the loft collecting heat, but loved the place otherwise read more

They have a decent selection of foods and the service was attentive and fun. The outdoor ambiance was great with a view of the lake and they allow dogs read more

Was in there with my family and ordered 3 drinks. My Dad Asked nicely for them to brew a new batch of light roast coffee because it wasn't hot. The girl with short brown/ blonde hair working there rolled her eyes at us while she brewed a new batch. Never coming back here at all. Horrible customer service. If you're gonna do that fine, but don't do it right in front of your customers. I would not recommend this place! If it could be rated zero stars I would read more

Splendid experience. Upper loft is a favorite spot! Worked and wrote here for hours with no problem

I left this review 9 months ago at which point you still had gluten free options listed on your website specific to the Duluth location. So maybe removing that option as soon as it wasn't an option would have been smart. Again, the only reason I thought you had gluten free options was because your website said you did. And when I called to ask a staff member if possibly the website was incorrect and you did, in fact, have gluten free options, all they said was "we're out, sorry", failing to inform me that you were no longer providing any gluten free options. I see now that you've removed the option from your website so that should eliminate any future confusion. read more

Passing through Duluth, stopped to grab coffee and breakfast. Decaf was undrinkable. Tasted like wet cardboard. Stopped in next town to dump out and buy cup elsewhere. "Toasted" bagel looked like it had been sat on, was raw, and they didn't provide a knife for the cream cheese. Hash-brown was slimy and undercooked, also threw it out. Croissant sandwich was soggy and English muffin sandwich was okay. The building was cute and clean but not on the water as described. Really liked the book of dog photos that we paged through while waiting in line, but that didn't make the stop worth it. read more

Amazing coffee and service. A must-go in Duluth. The baristas are very personable and the breakfast sandwiches are always good.

insufficient understanding of their own system led to a $70 dollar charge on my account. ($40 refund, $30 recharge). Wait time in drive-thru was 10+ minutes. food was subpar ( yes I know it's a coffee spot). Smoothie was very good. read more

It's a beautiful place to work and sip your coffee. I loved the vibe and will come back for sure. read more

Nice clean place! The staff, two young ladies are very nice and helpful they should be happy with their staff We like the coffee it was the closest we could find to what we get at home way better than at the Edge across the street read more

I went out of my way to this shop several mornings on my last trip to Duluth. They have a rotating coffee choices that are roasted in house. They also have homemade baked goods, particularly good scones and muffins. I loved the peach and raspberry scone. The banana nut muffin was so smooth and almost creamy in texture and with a lot of banana flavor. They offer quite a big seating area on two levels, too, so it's a good space to sit with a few friends for a chat. read more

This is the best coffee in Duluth! I love this coffeeshop. They have a drive thru, which is great for health and safety precautions. In the summer, there is a lot of room for outdoor seating, and a view of the lake in the distance. read more

Dunn Brothers Coffee - Medium latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

We stopped at Dunn Brothers - I was hoping for a good coffee and something slightly more healthy than McDonald's for our family for breakfast. We waited 15 minutes to place our order (only 2 people working on a Sunday morning.) I ordered a 20 oz pumpkin pie latte & my husband a 20 oz light roast...we ordered 3 breakfast sandwiches & 1 blueberry muffin. We waited 10 more minutes for our order...got in car to eat on our way home from a trip, we all had ice cold breakfast sandwiches & coffee was not that great. The muffin was somewhat edible. So 25 min for a terrible breakfast & total of $28 We will not be back...i am a Starbucks fanatic but thought we'd try this...never again. read more

I am always on the look-out for a decent coffee shop. My chosen profession involves driving all over the Upper Midwest and I can only go so long without a caffeine fix. In the past this meant nasty gas station coffee. The prospect of consuming this sludge was so off-putting that I would drive until I could drive no more before resigning to my fate. Now I can safely navigate the highways and byways of the Arrowhead region buzzing on Dunn Bros. excellent coffee. Last November I found myself on the ass end of a three day slog through the Northwoods. I had about four cups of coffee at lunch in Ely but it was well past two when I finally left the site and made my way down CR 2 toward Two Harbors. I didn't have much left in the tank. I figured I could find something nice there, but the singular coffee shop I could find had closed ten minutes prior to my arrival. I pushed down Hwy 61 figuring on getting something terrible at the Holiday station on London, but something possessed me to keep driving, leading me straight to Dunn Brothers. The travel mug was filled and I was safely on my way back to Madison, and I was stoked to find another oasis. On my subsequent trip last month I ended up staying in Duluth the second night, getting to the hotel shortly after 5. I'd had a late lunch and wasn't hungry, but I did need to warm up and check my email. Dunn Brothers was perfect for this. I ordered a Full City roast Salvadorian coffee, briefly considering a depth charge, and proceeded to deal with all the emails that had accumulated. I probably could have stayed all night, but after I had finished my second cup of this excellent coffee I decided to head back to the hotel. I popped through the drive-thru the next morning to fill up the traveler - so much better than hotel coffee - and proceeded to head north. I'm so happy that I've found this place, and I'd be a lot happier if there were more of them along my usual routes. read more

Decided to stop in to get some coffee and was greeted by super friendly workers! I love the cabin vibe. There is a good amount of seating on the floor level, a bit more seating up on the loft area, and two bathrooms. Such a cute place! If I lived in Duluth, I would totally go here to do my homework regularly. read more

I am reviewing the drive through only here. I always wait EXTRA LONG in the drive through. In fact if there ar 2 cars waiting, I never stop...I just keep on going. Again yesterday, we waited at least 8-10 minutes from start of order to receiving. We ordered two hot cocoas this time and they were received luke warm and the whipped cream was melted away. Seems like we were forgotten about for this time. My daughter (22) was so irritated!! She said " you told me its a long wait, but this is ridiculous" How about more staff on ??? read more

I did not enjoy my visit here, unfortunately. I really didn't like my iced latte, I was unable to finish it. I had a scone from the bakery case. I took my first bite out of it while it was just room temperature, the barista didn't ask me if I wanted it heated up or anything. I had to go back to the counter and ask them to pop it in the oven real quick. It was way better afterwards. I was also unimpressed with the customer service, our barista was robotic and thoughtless. I suggest going to another coffee shop while in Duluth. read more

Standard fare for a coffee shop - my mocha was good - 4 shots of espresso kept me up all night, but that's my fault! Lots of students studying so hard to find a chair read more

I was introduced to this coffee haven by a friend during my short visit in MN. I am much saddened that this has not yet found it's way to the West Coast, because the coffee is bold and flavorful and pretty much perfect in every way. The baristas were friendly and ready with suggestions. There was plenty of seating surrounded by large open windows that gave the small rustic cabin look a very spacious feel. They even had a loft!! Totally going back when I'm out there again. read more

Such a wonderful coffee shop! The staff is always very friendly, and the coffee is always excellent! Great place to spend Saturday studying -- so cozy and usually pretty quiet (but busy). read more

I really love the tea here. The service is a bit slow but obviously is it hit or miss.

Dear Dunn Brothers staff, Please offer a level of customer service that aligns with the quality of coffee you offer. Today's Sunday morning crew is a prime example of why you bring the standard of the Duluth operation into the ground. Owner take note. read more

Their staff are beyond great! Enjoyed it so much the first day or our trip we stopped every morning. They have such a cute little cabin and their service is phenomenal. Happy, friendly, great service! read more

Coffee in a log cabin with a fireplace?! Can you even get better than that? As I have moved away from Duluth, this is a place I always return to during visits. I only wish I had found it sooner. I tend to choose local shops over chains, but love this place too much. I wish more coffee shops chose to create a cozy atmosphere like this. Check it out! There is plenty of seating on the main floor and upstairs (which seems to be where people sit to quietly work). read more

The coffee here will make you forget about Starbucks and the food is made fresh and fast. It tastes so much better than the other options nearby. Don't miss this place! read more

I have never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever had a bad experience here. Ever. I'm in love with a good, creamy espresso or cold brew- Dunn Bros does it right. They also have fabulous baristi who will make a shot a second time if the first one doesn't pour correctly. I LOVE THAT! Its been a while since I've been here, but then I say that EVERY time I've been here... And they never fail. If they do, I tell them right away (something too many people are afraid of doing face to face) and they fix it! Also, there used to be one bada$$ barista that worked there who had the sexiest arms I've ever seen. Gotta love the arms/hands of a workin' man;). Now I'm off to review Amazing Grace. Because I love them too, but not for coffee. read more

Hey Dunn Brothers! Just an FYI for you, your staff, and your customers... the City of Duluth is ticketing cars parked on the avenue - a common place to park given your teenie-tiny parking lot. I saw 6 cars with tickets today. Perhaps you should make your customers aware of this danger when they come to spend money at your coffee house. Thanks. read more

Customer service was literally amazing. The drive thru person even threw away my empty pop cans!

On a street lined with fast food shops and surrounded by hotels with atrocious breakfast, Dunn Bros is an oasis of charm. They have excellent coffee, Mighty Leaf tea, and tasty treats that can see you through breakfast or lunch. The staff is polite and helpful. The coffee shop itself is welcoming and tastefully decorated. In fact, the only thing that's missing is a view of the lake, but it had that too, then I would be compelled to give it six stars. read more

Triple love the coffee & the service couldn't get any better .. I started going years ago cause I loved the lodge home feel & I kept going back for the warmth inside, well the morning caffeine really but nice to feel good at the same time read more

The coolest, coziest Dunn Bros I've been to. Very-much an up-north, cabin-style vibe. A bit like a Caribou but with better coffee! Large, free-standing log building. Lots of room to hang and a neat loft sitting area. Dedicated off-street parking. read more

Folks, this is how coffee should be done! AWESOME drive-through window and comfortable inside seating. I could hang out here for hours.

Chai Tea with soy pretty good. Here at noon and it is eerily quiet. No music playing. Feels strange and like I should be studying and not visiting. read more

This Dunn Bros is one of my favorites in the state. The full log cabin building and interior decor fit well with Duluth. Ususally busy but also usually has a table or chair available. Same great Dunn Bros coffee. Good location near the northern terminus of Lake Superior. Can't comment on the drive-through as I never use it. read more

I've been to Dunn Brothers Coffee a few times with friends. We enjoy the variety of drink and pastry options. The atmosphere makes it a great place to study or take a study break. The staff are kind and helpful. read more

Nice place to spend a rainy afternoon in Duluth. The girl working the counter this afternoon was very friendly and had great customer service. read more

I love only this location. The coffee is good. The parking is a mess. Tiny parking lot and the nearby streets are dicey. You have to really look at the parking signs or risk a ticket. We've only been once, but since I loved the "northwoods cabin" feel of it, I'd go if I could walk to it. read more

Four out of four drinks messed up and it took a long while for that. Will avoid this coffee stop in the future.
