Dunn Bros Coffee Franchise

At Dunn Bros Café, we believe that coffee is an art form and so, making coffee is our craft. That makes our baristas and coffee roasters artists-in-residence. All our handmade drinks are made specifically for our customers, so each cup is a little different from the one before it, and the one after. More than crafted brews, we make fresh food too. From hand-cracked eggs, hand-sliced meats and cheeses to freshly baked pastries, we believe in good food.

To buy a franchise with Dunn Bros Coffee, you'll need to have at least $100000 in liquid capital and a minimum net worth of $500000. Dunn Bros Coffee charges a franchise fee of $37500.

Values & History

Fresh from their roastery experiences in Portland, Oregon, the Dunn brothers, Ed and Dan, moved to the Twin Cities in the late 1980s. Their mission was quite simple:

  • Roast in small batches.
  • Serve the freshest brew possible.
  • Provide a warming coffee experience.
  • Put the community at the core of the business.
In 1987, Dunn Brothers Coffee was born. Today, the majority of Dunn Brothers Coffee shops are independently owned by franchisees around the country who are dedicated to achieving the very same mission as the original Dunn brothers.

We roast small batches of coffee, in-store, every day. That's why our coffee is never more than 5 days old. Roasting in small batches promises a more fresh, rich, and enjoyable coffee experience. Success depends on the care and expertise of the roaster, which is why our roasters complete the Dunn Brothers Coffee Certified Roaster Program.

Industry Performance

Market & Competition

Since 1987, Dunn Bros Coffee has been a stand-out in the coffee house market. There is a huge amount of market potential yet to be tapped in coffee, and many people are looking for a very high-quality alternative. Success can be achieved in today's competitive world by having a distinctive point of difference. Our shops highlight this difference by using state-of-the-art, on-site micro-roasting techniques. So, daily, our locations are roasting very select, high-quality coffee beans…right in front of our customers so they can see how their perfect cups of coffee come to be.

Our pastries are baked in-store, not delivered pre-made. We also offer a mix of made-to-order signature sandwiches and freshly-made salads.

Besides Starbucks, we stand head to head against other coffee retailers and bakery shops like Dunkin' Donuts and Panera. We are often located in the same shopping areas as well. We also sell coffee beverages and coffee beans by the pound, and an assortment of frozen beverages, baked goods, soups, and sandwiches.
