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.

The grand Ave Dunn Bros is the best. This is how a coffee house should be. Great menu of drinks, pastries if you get there before they run out, space to have a coffee while reading the paper or catching up with friends.

Every time I go here, there is a considerable amount of coffee grounds in my mocha. This is concerning, as it typically indicates a lack of cleaning. Their milk to ice ratio is also off, meaning you get a watered down drink. It is worth noting that their staff are friendly and very rapid to receive orders and make drinks. It's just a shame that those drinks continue to contain coffee grounds.

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 moment count with customers to this level of authenticity and effervescence. Clearly they know many of these patrons well, but even for those like me on my second visit here, are made to feel welcome, appreciated, and enjoyed. Yes, it's always the role for courtesy and kindness in coffee shops and restaurants. But this is at another level. Humor, engagement, even encouragement. All ages of customers here, and they connect with everyone! I literally thanked them before I left. Honestly, these people could do a video on how to connect and bring joy to people's hearts. The BEST 🙂☀️👍
