Narrow Road Coffee Review

This is, by far, the best of the Dunn Bros in town. It's the only one open past 7pm, and it is much larger than the other I go to. They make good drinks that are less sweet than the competitors. Best of all, they roast their own coffee and have lots of varieties.

Breakfast is so good here. It is tough to find seeing occasionally, but just because the place is full.

The fresh coffee beans are great. Freshly roasted makes a huge difference.

Love the product but the staff always makes me feel like I am an inconvenience. Never a smile when I go in or a "thank you."

Busy place at lunchtime. I ordered creamy tomato soup. It came with really good bread & saltine crackers. In my opinion, the crackers are not necessary. Soup was good.

Been going to this Dunn Brothers for many years. They recently renovated to make the space bigger and combine the kitchens with the "Zumbro River Cafe." I like this change because it gives patrons more space to sit and if I am working on homework I can usually find a quiet spot. Food is always great the the coffee beans are roasted on site.

This is my go-to coffee shop what can I say it's the best I do miss Michael though he doesn't work there anymore

Best peppermint mocha! It's delicious and not like I'm drinking pure sugar!

Atmosphere and food are great. Try one of the Asian noodle bowls! They're really good

Great food, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere create a favorite place to attend at least once a week with friends.

First off, be leery of good reviews if you're not from Minnesota. I've found people (locals) here five-star everything, even when it's not good food... and the coffee at Dunn Bros is absolutely NOT good. I paid $6 for a cappuccino that had a sour, burnt aftertaste. When it tastes like that, it means the water temperature is too hot for the beans. Second, I ordered online 25 minutes in advance and the coffee still wasn't ready when I got there. They only started making it when I asked for a refund. Go to Caribou Coffee instead.

Really good breakfast options all day. I wish I had time to eat some

Great great great breakfast food! Coffee is the same! Staff are friendly even at 7 in the morning. Kitchen to table is fast! Good atmosphere as well.

After visiting other Dunn Brother locations in other cities, I have to say that Rochester has the best. This particular Dunn Brothers is my absolute favorite. The Carmel macchiato is perfect and their turkey BLT with tomato soup is a perfect lunch.

Excellent attitude, knowledge of green tea, as well as a natural enthusiasm made,it seem like a move from Minneapolis to Rochester may not be a bad idea.

Frequently busy. Fast service. Thankfully there is good parking. Usually pretty loud.

Great little coffee shop with friendly staff. A comfortable place to hang out to study and read. Full lunch menu too! Soup, quiche, sandwiches....yummy!

Wonderful, home cooked type food. The coffee is the best in town, although if you want just a simple cup of black coffee, it's expensive.

Great coffee, tasty breakfast. Staff is great and coffee knowledgeable

Good food, great coffee, excellent staff, and nice environment.

Great place to relax and read, or finish up that extra hour if work

I love this specific dunn bros. It's the only one in MN with a full service restaurant inside and an extensive menu and the food there is GOOD. My favorite breakfast spot in Rochester. My favorite breakfast sandwich ever. Pancakes are awesome! The staff is amazing and the owners are the friendliest people you could meet. I studied here all summer one year. A lot of seating and outlets. Just a cozy place. Great for meeting people.

Love Dunn Bros north. Great coffee, good breakfast and lunch food, and nice, cozy coffee shop atmosphere for hanging out.

I had the best beef noodle soup ever in Rochester in this joint. Awesome service too not to mention superb coffee with accompanying pastries.

Quiet place to meet friends for food or just coffee

Best grilled cheese sandwich ever!!! With pesto mhhhmmmm, also their coffee never disappoints

Great coffee and great tea. Drive though option as well as inside service and seating.

Very cute updated atmosphere! Coffee and sandwich was 5 star quality! Looking forward to trying out their daily happy hour from 3 to 6!

I like that they have free refills now! The staff is friendly, the place is clean, there is a variety of seating. No diaper changing area in the men's bathroom however.

I love the coffee. It's alittle expensive but worth the freshness of the coffee

Great service. Good tasting coffee. Their pastries are higher priced.

Nice quiet coffee shop. Big, lots of tables and places to sit. A little overpriced and paper signs everywhere looks kinda trashy. Great tasting espresso.

Our tiramisu was sour. They gave us another dessert instead

Full menu, expensive coffee shop type pricing for everything, and the wifi doesn't work as multiple people asked about it. Should have went to Caribou or Starbucks.

Always a good visit when going to get coffee from Dunn brothers. I also had some soup from the adjoining deli and the soup was delicious. I'd definitely recommend coming here. The cashier was also friendly, I appreciated that.

The feel is very homey. The menu options are amazing, not anything you'd expect from a normal coffee shop.

Love when they make my coffee right! IMO a blended coffee should not be more ice than coffee. It should be more runny! They don't always get it right but this time they did.

Decent coffee. Love their breakfast sandwiches, prepared fresh.

There's every other Dunn Brothers, and then there's this one. This location is merged with the Zumbro Cafe so there's a full breakfast and lunch menu. Oh, and it's also a gallery for a local photographer. This is where the locals go for breakfast.

Great food and coffee, not much wait, reasonable prices.

Quick service, good food, and the coffee was excellent as always.

Its a nice place to stop for coffee and breakfast in the morning. My favorite is the caramel frappe. It is smoother and sweeter than most frappes I've had.

Love this place. & it's not just because I work there. ;)

I used to really enjoy this coffee shop for studying and enjoying a nice cup of coffee. However, the last handful of times I have gone, the wifi was either not working at all or extremely slow. The soup is very tasty, but was cold by the time it got to me.

This cauliflower, caramelized onion quiche and spinach salad is exactly what I needed this morning! Comfortable, mellow atmosphere and friendly customer service!

Thanks Dunn Bros!!

Great local coffee shop that roasts their own beans. Lots of artisan beans to purchase. Good basic breakfast plates. Recommend the egg sausage cheese sandwich on croissant. ... mmmm

My favorite place, I spend way too much time there but it's worth it.

Their gravy coming with county breakfast is heaven.

Really nice atmosphere for a breakfast with a friend or a meeting. The coffee is great and the breakfast menu is pretty good as well!

Because all they care about is a staff they don't get the real story about the customers and all they care about is themselves I do not recommend this place go to he's a caribou or St James coffee or Steam avoid Dunn Brothers all of them

This is a great spot to work, converse, read, lunch, breakfast, or sip a cup quietly. Coffee is good, wish they had a few more pastries to choose from.
Well managed, pleasant and warm. Lunch and breakfast kitchen is great.

Good coffee/iced tea. I also liked the salad/salmon! I recommend this place!

I've been going here 1-2 a week for about 2 years now. Unlike other reviewers, I've found the owner to be pleasant and approachable. She recognizes me and ask me how I'm doing. I've never received rude service from anyone here and I am usually using a credit card so there is no tipping involved. The couches and fireplace are probably the best of all the coffee shops in Rochester if you are looking to lounge and read a book.

The drawback of this place is that it is often crowded and the booths (which are wonderful and outlet equipped) are reserved for parties of two or more. That leaves either the open area up front with no outlets or the cramped dungeon at the back of the store with electricity available. It is so cramped back there that it feels socially awkward, like standing in an elevator. Because of the seating situation there have been times I've simply had to go somewhere else.

Clean and fun place. The service was fast and prefect. They have a very nice menu.
