The Great Escape: Dunn Bros Coffee

Pampering yourself doesn’t always have to include , and massages.  Sometimes it’s a little more incidental with everyday life, and it’s up to us to recognize and enjoy the opportunity when it arises. Try shaking up your routine with little bits of R & R at .

Instead of rushing out the door with your home-brewed drip coffee, indulge in a gourmet, fair-trade blend from Dunn Bros and take a few minutes to read the paper in one of their cozy arm chairs. Add whipped cream to your smoothie, and spread out with your laptop/eReader/book in one of their booths—something you don’t see often in coffee shops these days, but booths are oh-so-much cozier than a table for four. Especially when you just want to chill out.

If you’re looking for something a little livelier, they also host a stream of musicians on weekends. Check out the upcoming events on their Facebook page, which also lists the daily soup and other special deals (like an extra espresso shot on the first day of Daylight Savings Time).

In addition to a plethora of espresso and non-espresso based drinks, Oakdale Dunn Bros Coffee also serves organic and natural food options. Between providing morning pick-me-ups and a little nightlife, you’ll be ready to turn this Great Escape into your new home.
