Dunn Brothers Coffee Company
1569 Grand Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“This Grand Avenue institution strikes a perfect balance between quick-service efficiency and lingering-friendly comfort, with a loyal following who praise its thoughtfully crafted drinks, reliable espresso work, and genuinely welcoming vibe for everyone from laptop workers to dogs to paper-readers. The inviting outdoor patio and adjacent bakery make it feel less like a chain pit stop and more like a neighborhood gathering spot where you can grab a quality coffee in minutes or settle in for hours. Fair warning: consistency can be uneven, but when they nail it—which is often—you get the kind of approachable, unpretentious specialty coffee experience that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Parking available.

Fast! Be ready to order. Delicious. Outback seating for dog friendly area (accessible through alley). Free small parking lot direcrly to the east of it.
Love this affordable and cute cafe. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating including a patio. There’s a bakery and sandwich shop next door that’s also worth a try!
I am sitting at the Grand Avenue Dunn Brothers right now sipping a fine vanilla latte. I've enjoyed coffee shops all over the world, from Delhi to Salzburg, and certainly Dunn Brothers and others all over Minnesota. Never in my life have I witnessed five servers make every…
