Beloved Midwest brand expands direct-to-consumer reach with freshly roasted beans shipped fast, nationwide
Dunn Brothers Coffee, the Minnesota-based coffee shop brand known for roasting coffee beans in-store daily, is a new way to brew – fresher than ever and crafted for the perfect cup. On May 23, Dunn Brothers launched a nationwide subscription service delivering roasted-to-order coffee straight to consumers’ doors.
The new subscription program gives customers full control over how they enjoy their coffee – from roast level and grind preference to delivery frequency – with each order featuring a full pound of coffee roasted fresh and shipped the same day to ensure the kind of freshness typically reserved for coffee shop customers.
The move marks a significant step forward in the company’s long-term digital strategy. Following a recent overhaul of its e-commerce platform, Dunn Brothers is leaning into direct-to-consumer growth while preserving the core quality that has defined the brand since its founding in 1987.
“Dunn Brothers was born in the Midwest and built on a commitment to daily, small-batch roasting,” said Anand Gala, managing partner. “Over the years, we’ve earned loyal fans in communities across the country, and now we’re making it easier than ever for them to enjoy the same fresh, flavorful coffee they love – no matter where they call home.”
Subscribers can personalize their orders by selecting:
- Roast level – ranging from light to bold, featuring Dunn Brothers’ signature profiles
- Grind preference – including whole bean, drip, espresso and more
- Delivery schedule – with flexible monthly options to match individual routines
Subscriptions will be 15% off for Dunn Brother loyalty rewards members. The subscription is available nationwide at shop.DunnBrothers.com.
Dunn Brothers operates more than 46 locations, primarily across the Upper Midwest, and has built its following on quality, consistency and local ownership. Each store roasts its own beans on site, a practice that remains central to the brand’s identity, even as it scales its digital footprint.
Gala said the subscription model is a natural continuation of that ethos.
“Our approach has always been rooted in care, from how we source our beans to how we roast and serve them,” Gala said. “This launch doesn’t change that. It’s just the next step – a way to bring that same freshly roasted coffee home, so it can be brewed tomorrow with the same care we put into it today.”
The new offering is part of a broader push to grow Dunn Brothers’ e-commerce presence and meet rising demand for craft coffee at home. With delivery in under 48 hours from roast to doorstep, the subscription model helps preserve peak flavor and aroma – key attributes often lost in traditional retail coffee channels.
The new offering is available at shop.DunnBrothers.com, with nationwide shipping and ongoing support from local franchise partners.
Dunn Brothers Coffee brings together fresh-roasted flavor and a friendly neighborhood vibe across approximately 46 locations in seven states: Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin. Founded and based in Minnesota, home to 28 of its stores, Dunn Brothers is built on small-batch roasting and a passion for community. Each locally owned shop offers more than just coffee; it’s a place to connect, unwind and feel at home. With its mix of bold brews and genuine hospitality, Dunn Brothers stands apart as a favorite gathering spot for coffee lovers and neighbors alike.
