Whether you’re gearing up for a Canal Park stroll or easing into your Gitche Gumee porch routine, these four Duluth roasters deliver the perfect morning jolt—with style, substance, and a strong whiff of fresh beans.
1. Duluth Coffee Company (Downtown Duluth)
This is the one locals rave about. A true small-batch roaster with a minimalist café vibe, Duluth Coffee Company roasts its beans on-site and offers pour-overs, cold brews, and espresso drinks that never miss. The staff knows their beans and will guide you toward a roast that fits your taste. Open daily at 7 a.m.

2. Dream Cloud Coffee Roasters (Central Hillside)
A newer addition to the scene but already well-loved, Dream Cloud serves ethically sourced, small-batch roasted coffee with dreamy lattes (try the cardamom vanilla). Their shop is peaceful, plant-filled, and often hosts community events and pop-ups.

3. 190° Coffee and Tea (Lincoln Park Craft District)
This cozy little spot tucked into Enger Lofts focuses on high-end espresso and steeped teas. They work with local roasters and offer specialty drinks like the rosemary-honey latte and turmeric chai. It’s the kind of place where you order slow and sip slower.

4. Perk Place Coffeehouse (East Duluth / Lakeside)
A community anchor that’s been serving coffee with heart for years. Great stop before hiking Lester Park or Brighton Beach, with comfy couches, strong cold brew, and baked goods made in-house. A true “feel like a local” spot.
