Duluth Coffee Company

Absolutely adorable place. It was warm, bright, and full of plants. We got two lattes: one Maple latte with oat milk and one classic latte with whole milk. I loved mine, but my husband thought the classic with whole milk was just ok. (To be fair, we buy very high quality beans for our espresso machine at home, so expectations are high.) They had a rotating menu of fun seasonal drinks, too.

I loved the atmosphere! The smells of fresh coffee that filled the air was wonderful as well! Tried their butter & pumpkin zenith blend coffee. The maple latte was smooth as well.

I had a pleasant experience, they even let me use my own cup, the first time; the mocha was tasty. The second time I was window licking my way around downtown this morning and accidentally made it to Duluth coffee company 10 minutes early, as listening to fiddler on the roof songs. Unawares I was early, I spotted a worker opening the door with a key, and jestfully I asked when the coffee would be hot. “In ten minutes,” he replied. I checked my watch, and alas, the joke was on me. Excited, as I noticed I had time to relax and take in the commotion of morning whilst finishing my cigarette, I strolled down the block a ways and noticed another coffee sign across the street, with its neon “open” shining in the window. Happy to give second patronage to the DCC, I walked back as the worker was unlocking the outdoor seating, I helped myself to a chair and sat down, offering to place it where he wished when they opened. He replied, “I would prefer you smoked somewhere else.” Happily I walked down the street and enjoyed the coffee at the new place, with an extensive pastry menu.

If you’re in Duluth you simply must have a coffee or hot chocolate at this charming little independent coffee shop. I drink Star****s, not by choice but by default. Occasionally I get out of downtown Dallas and try other (and by ‘other’ I mean better) coffee shops. This one is outstanding! They roast their own beans here and it not only creates an irresistible aroma but also adds to the already-interesting decor. No distracting bakery or panini’s - just really good coffee. There’s a bakery just doors away. This coffee is so good I don’t need to put raw sugar in it. I only started using sugar to mask the burnt taste in that other nameless but annoyingly ubiquitous coffee place.

Great coffee indeed! Party of 2, order: cappuccino and Latte The latte art was really pretty and the cream on top was very smooth. Please stop by here on our way from Duluth to Gooseberry Falls and it was a perfect stop to grab a little drink.
