Dunn Brothers Coffee, the Minneapolis-based, nearly 40-year-old brand famed for freshly roasting its globally sourced single-origin green beans daily, announced the upcoming opening of its new location at 808 Washington Ave SE, in the bustling Stadium Village neighborhood on the University of Minnesota (UMN) campus. Situated along the University’s popular shopping, dining and entertainment district that borders East River Parkway, the location is set to open its doors on Monday, October 28.
Building on the excitement of Dunn Brothers Coffee’s campus debut, the new location enhances coffee experiences for local residents, students, faculty, and university visitors alike. A large-scale grand opening celebration is also on the horizon, featuring several engaging opportunities for the local university crowds to connect and celebrate, including coffee-for-a-year giveaways.
“Our new Washington Avenue shop embodies our dedication to developing strong ties with the University’s students, faculty and local residents. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to solidify a long-term fan base because the students are our future,” said Scott Harvey, President of Dunn Brothers Coffee. “We’re looking forward to becoming a part of the daily lives of so many in the area, offering convenient accessibility to an elevated coffee experience and a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy high-quality, expertly crafted beverages.”
Seizing the moment given its brand significance, the shop will unveil a redesigned, modernized interior that reflects the University’s energy and youthful appeal. It leans into future shop design and decor, capturing the Gen Z essence with a decorative accent wall to anchor the enhanced space. This refreshed aesthetic marks the beginning of the brand’s evolution, strategically crafted to appeal to a broader, more diverse audience while preserving the inviting ambiance that has long been its signature. The spacious two-story location offers abundant seating, with an upstairs area ideal for study groups, relaxing, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, making it a go-to destination for coffee lovers and students alike.
