Went through the drive through Saturday morning to get a growler of the cold brew. After paying then waited for awhile at the window while they tried to pour a bunch of different items into the growler but weren’t able to fill it. After watching them try for a bit they came back to the window to say they were out, but didn’t offer any solution and weren’t able to give a refund because there wasn’t a manager present. I asked if they would take my name and number to have a manager call me to figure out what to do but it’s been 4 days and I haven’t gotten a call nor have I been able to get anyone to answer when I call there. The young girls working were very nice but just a disappointed and frustrated by the process and lack of communication since it was $25.

Limited selection of espresso drinks, but they grind their beans daily, which gives you the greatest caffine high ever. Didn’t try the food, so there was no rating. I don’t get out there that often but will go there again. When I’m on that side of town.

Coffee is great, especially the nitro cold brew. Iced coffee was good as well. Overall 5/5 for the coffee.

Ordered an iced caramel latte but they were out of caramel.. then I got to the drive and they told me they just found out they have to make the whipped cream so it would be a 2-3 minute wait for that, So I said I was fine without whip. Then they handed me a frappe when I ordered an iced latte. So they had to remake my iced latte and did not give me my money back (I was charged for a frappe) until I asked them for it. Unfortunately not impressed.

I REALLY want to give this place 5 stars, because they have incredible coffee/ food(when I am able to order food) My favorite thing is the avocado toast, but unfortunately I’ve only been able to have it about 5/12 times I’ve ordered it. They are always out of the ingredients. Beyond that, there’s been a couple times I couldn’t order any nitro brew coffees because the machines were broken. The staff is hit or miss. I’ve met very wonderful and pleasant workers, and some who clearly aren’t happy at their job and have a bad vibe. I haven’t been here in a while due to these, but I hope in the future this can improve and I will come as often as I used to.

I have to stop coming here before work in the morning because there are never enough people working. I don’t blame the workers at all, the manager needs to hire more people. I waited close to 15 minutes and had to leave without a drink because I was going to be late for work. When there are two or more people working, drinks and food are all delivered in a timely manner and quite tasty. But I need a more consistent coffee place so I will be taking my business elsewhere until they hire more staff.

I try to support local. I’d rather give my business to smaller shops especially in these times. This was my first time trying Dunn Brother’s and it will be the last. This is a medium. It cost close to $5.00. When I went to pay for it with my card, the hand held reader asked for tip. I couldn’t decline this option. Dont get me wrong, I know baristas don’t make much, and normally, I would tip…but I’d like the option to decline, not forced to give. So a coffee that at most places would be a small ended up costing me over six dollars. It was overly sweet and just not worth the price.

The sandwich’s are sooo good! I love going here however the last two times I haven’t even been able to order through the drive thru because no one takes my order. I waited for a good 10 minutes and then had to leave because I figured if it took 10 minutes just for someone to take my order I knew it would be another good 10-15 minutes to get my order. There was only one other person in line and no one inside when I drove by so not sure what everyone was doing. Bummed! Guess I will stick to dunkin as at least I can get some coffee there in a decently timely manor.

Love this place. Yes, they are not speedy, but they make the drinks correctly. Our coffee tasted fantastic. I agree they need a few people working, but I was on vacation and had time to spare. Wish we had one of these in Fairfield, Ia.
