Dunn Bros. Fairview Ave

Dunn Bros. probably features the best coffee in the Twin Cities. Their fresh roasted coffee adds an excellent aroma to nearly any study session.

The location on Fairview is overall a good place to have a coffee, but if you stay for any length of time, eventually you'll have to "go."

Vital Stats:

2 stalls (one seems handicap accessible)

1 urinal

Comments:

This bathroom lacks much in the way of decor. It's standard tile through and through. The floor is kind of a gray tile and has accumulated some grime over the years, so even when it's clean, it doesn't always look like it.

I'm also sad to report that the sign above urinal suggesting that men improve their aim is long gone.

They have updated the sink area, which is nice and they've also replaced the old cloth "wheel of towel" dispenser with paper towels. A welcome change, as I've always thought those to be pretty gross. Who wants to share wet nasty towels?

The urinal's flushing mechanism is really irritating. It's not one of those neurotic automatic ones that flushes 15 times while you're in front of it , nor is it even those easily flushable levers seen almost everywhere.

No, instead, it's a small, push button that flushes for as long as you hold it. My first five attempts to flush the toilet failed miserably. Finally, I mustered all of my puny Earth muscles, put my weight into it and flushed.

Water!

My joy was soon replaced with complete disappointment. The deluge i had been hoping for and expecting came out as nothing more than a trickle. Apparently, only Superman can flush this toilet.

In summary, this bathroom isn't terrible, it's usually clean and it doesn't smell bad most of the time. In fact, i believe it smells better than it used to. That along with new sink tells me they're making improvements over time

I give it 2.5 out 5 flushes for being average.
