Dining Out - Dunn Bros. Coffee
By Andrea Faiad
In addition to fresh-roasted, fresh-brewed coffee and espresso, the cafe offers a full menu of homemade sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts.
Dennis and Lynn Wong wanted to improve the quality of coffee they served. So, they took down their Java Cafe sign and bought into the Minnesota-based Dunn Bros. franchise.
"Dunn Bros. has a unique store set up in that we roast the coffee right here in the store," Dennis explains. "It's the freshest and it's the best."
In addition to fresh-roasted, fresh-brewed coffee and espresso, the cafe, located across from the Rochester-Olmsted Recreation Center, offers a full menu of homemade sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts.
