Dunn Bros story is really quite simple. We've been roasting and brewing great coffee since 1987 when Ed Dunn opened the first Dunn Bros Coffee shop in St. Paul, MN. Our coffee is roasted in small drum roasters in all of our traditional stores (the only stores that don't roast on site are our Express locations that you'll see in places like an airport, library, or college campus where coffee roasting is not an option). We do this because we know that there is nothing better than freshly roasted coffee so long as you're starting with great coffee beans and roasting them with passion. What you'll find is that we source beans from the best farmers in the world. Dunn Bros care deeply about the sustainability of our farming partners and the environmental practices under which the coffee is grown. Dunn Bros Coffee Franchising, Inc. are real reflections of the communities that they're in. Many of our shops hang local art and play local music. Free WIFI is available in all but a few locations. And, unlike others, our shops smell like coffee. If you've ever been in a Dunn Bros Coffee shop, you know what we're talking about. It's the benefit of roasting every day, right in the shop.
