Dunn Brothers Coffee

I was here on 9/12/21 and ordered an espresso and bakery item. The bakery item was fine, however the espresso was incredibly stale tasting and watery. It was so bad, in fact, I had to throw it out. If I had to guess, they hadn't cleaned their espresso machine in a while, didn't tamp the espresso grounds correctly, and/or used a very stale coffee. I think it might be difficult to notice how bad this coffee is in a flavored drink like a mocha or vanilla latte, however be cautioned that the coffee they are adding to your drink perhaps isn't actually that good.

Funny thing here: I don't drink coffee. I know, I know my opinion may not hold weight, but don't close this review just yet!
I want to clarify that I regularly get coffee for my wife...and she loves it. That's not why I am rating Dunn Bros though. They are so much more than coffee. I love their fruit smoothies and their Hot Cocoa is the perfect blend of sweet, but not too much sweet.
If smoothies are your thing, then I recommend the Northwest Berry Smoothie. Honestly, it's a good thing that there isn't a Dunn Bros. close to me, because I could live on Northwest Berry.
Even though I have never been inside to meet the wonderful staff, they are just as friendly and smiling through the drive-up window. It must be the great coffee they are all drinking?

It's always been a great experience to come here and get coffee and treats. Both are really good. I prefer the taste of Dunn Bros coffee drinks over every other chain I've been to. The staff is friendly and the place feels warm and home-y. I try to make it a point to stop at this location when I can.

I drive past 4 other coffee shops to come here.
Always awesome service. They make my Chi to perfection and their club sandwich is super yummy.

Mickie and her staff make my day a little better every time I visit! She really knows how to hire. Her staff are all really friendly! Clearly, the coffee is great, they also have nice breakfast and lunch sandwiches.

This location is Awesome! Much better than Maple Grove. The young lady brought my coffee out to car after seeing I had a cast on. The 3 ladies were all happy with all customers. They we're working this morning @ 11:00. Will be back. Have Almond Crossaints

I love this place! My almost two-year-old daughter and I have started going here occasionally as a treat and we have had an awesome experience every time. I didn't catch her name but the shorter, dark haired woman always does an awesome job making my daughter's smoothie, she adds whipped cream and colorful sprinkles which makes it very appealing to my daughter who is normally a very picky eater/drinker. Their kids cups are also the best ones I've encountered, even with a straw in very little leaks out if tipped over a bit. These seemingly trivial factors make a huge difference with a toddler and we greatly appreciate it. They also have an awesome selection of healthy food, delicious coffees and just an overall friendly vibe. So glad I decided to start going on here!

Best gluten free sandwich ever. I miss the turkey bacon but the beyond sausage was excellent. I love that this location still has spinach and tomato!!

Dunn bros. has the best coffee in my opinion. The Papua New Guinea blend is my favorite. And this Elk River location has the best staff of any coffee shop I've ever been to. They definitely consume their own product, it's the only way anyone could be as awake and that friendly that early every morning! Thank you.

Love this location, love dunn bros, super friendly owners and the egg sandwiches are my favorite of all coffee shops around.
