      Went to an early yacht party on lake Minnetonka and had a conversation with my friend about how back in the day we used to go to Dunns Bros and get a drink called 'Iced Crema' (or something along those lines) and it had ice cream in it. There's no online proof of it existing but we both remembered it but also aware it's been removed off the menu for years now. I say all that to say we went in just to ask the staff if it existed lol. We learned that the ice creama never had ice cream and it was in fact just a frappe & they changed the name from to stir away from people thinking it contained ice cream.

      Over the years I have seen Dunn Bros incorporate ice cream into seasonal drinks - I remember 6-7 years ago a root beer float coffee drink. So I still feel like ice creama was real. Lol.

      I did order a vanilla iced nirvana! Very strong and on brand! Obviously very nice staff!

      This place rocks! Why go to a big chain type coffee shop when you can come to Excelsior...have a view of the lake...have a wonderful coffee and a sandwich made from scratch plus talk to the owners at the same time! 10/10 would recommend!

      View of the lake!

      Wow they have so many non dairy milk options!! Way to go, soy, coconut, almond, oat, and I feel like I forgot one lol

      Staff were friendly and service was quick. I got an iced oat milk latte and got the hubby an iced chai tea latte.

      The coffee was good but again sorry... blond roast espresso just takes the cake...

      My husband like this chai and said it was good.

      I would go back again!

      Dunn Brothers coffee, greatest location in town, (was) going there over 10 years, even from the owners, no matter how sweet of employees working there, I have never ever ever ever gotten a thank you when ordering, especially if you leave a tip, I have been there dozens and dozens of times. Super sad.Entryway and windows are absolutely FILTHY at all times, super super sad, no one has ever told anyone working in there any simple manners to say please and thank you- and maybe wash the windows on doors and sweep out entryway-I would even go as far to say it has never been done, ever- SAD.Go there- you will see what we ALL experience!!!! Beyond sad actually!!!!!!!!!

      One of the more scenic and roomy Dunn Bros. Outdoor seating with views of the nearby park and Lake. During my brief visit employees seemed friendly and helpful to the steady flow of caffeine seeking patrons. My brewed was the appropriate temp and made fresh which is pretty much all I ask for.

      Really great coffee I had a quad shot.

      The lady making my shots talked to me about how they check the pull time and temps of the espresso machine at least twice a day. I thought that was amazing.

      Really nice view of Lake Minnetonka to sit and work or relax.

      They serve food and wine at this location. Also have a fire place and free wifi.

      Dunn Brothers Coffee is a great coffee shop! The Excelsior location is consistently good - the wait usually isn't too long and they make great coffee and espresso drinks. In the options for coffee are slightly limited (no pour over or aero press available), which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five.

      Definitely recommend Dunn Bros in excelsior to grab a coffee and read, work, or study!

      The coffee is great and so is the location in the quaint town of Excelsior but the newer owners have a LOT to learn about service. As a resident and regular for over 6 years they seem to forget who I am on a regular basis. They miss part of my order, don't greet me nor do they thank me for your business. I have always treated the staff well and tipped $1 on a small order of less than $3 but have changed that habit when the owners are working...they just don't deserve it.

      The icing on the cake, no pun intended, is when you go there with a birthday coupon and they don't even wish you a happy birthday...neither of them.

      They have these ridiculous rules about what door to use and create an icy atmosphere that has clearly hurt their business.

      When I first became a regular the place was full each morning with all the locals huddled around a table and sharing stories. Everyone greeted everyone like it should be in a small town. I looked forward to going and seeing the people and the wonderful staff back in the day. Now I dread the morning hike as I am never sure how rude they will be or how it will impact my day. I really want to teach these 2 a thing or two about running a service business!
