Caribou Coffee

Couldn’t wait to pick up my morning coffee. Loved the warmth and great humor of the staff. So sad we don’t have this chain near me.

Caribou is my favorite of the chain coffees. I’m sad that there are so few. This location was fast and friendly. Yay!

We don’t have any more Caribou Coffees in Michigan, they’ve been taken over by Peete’s Coffee, which is mediocre at best. So I was thrilled to see Caribou Coffee everywhere on a recent trip to Minneapolis. I love their chai tea! They have soy milk too which is a bonus. I tried their oatmeal for breakfast one morning and it was super tasty.
Nice location, staff was friendly and service was reasonably fast. And I got my chai tea on so I’m a happy girl!

Love this caribou! The coffee is always great and the food is good too, but what makes it the best is the people! The people here are the nicest of any Caribou I’ve been to.

It’s a Caribou Coffee. I enjoy their iced turtle late immensely with dark chocolate.
Is it wrong that I give a chain place 4 stars?

The warmest, friendliest, coziest spot in the area. Great place for studying, lounging, or people watching on Nicollette Mall.

Typical Caribou coffee — not amazing, yet good enough to be satisfying. The guys working at this location were friendly and helped me with my selection. The blueberry muffin I selected for my breakfast was nothing spectacular, yet scratched my «I NEED BAKED GOODS!» itch. The best part is that I was in and out in less than 5 minutes at 8:30am on a weekday morning.

Great coffee and the service was excellent! Out of the few coffee locations in the immediate area we preferred the quality and consistency of this location over the others. Very clean and well kept interior as well.

For some unknown reason every time I go to Minneapolis for work I look forward to hitting up Caribou for a chicken apple sausage breakfast sandwich and a vanilla latte. It always tastes delicious and hits the spot! A nice break from my routine coffee…

The same great coffee you can expect from any Caribou store. The service at this location was fantastic too! Everyone was extremely friendly.

Caribou Coffee is a treat. While it may be a chain, it doesn’t exist everywhere and is always a welcomed sight when I find one.
This location was conveniently located ~3 blocks from the convention center and it was my daily stop while attending a conference. The employees were extremely friendly and chipper, which can be alarming if you aren’t used to Midwestern hospitality or waking up prior to 8:00 am. The service was quick, and I got my caffeine and sugar fix that allowed me to make it through the day.

Fantastic staff and beverages. Always so clean and quick drink times. Trivia is always fun and interesting! Favorite place to grab a coffee! And sometimes you’ll see some of the news people there from WCCO!

Good location for conference goers with a friendly enough staff, but the coffee is average at best. Coffee snobs look elsewhere.

This place is a great find for breakfast away from the hotels. Open at 6am weekdays 6:30 weekends. Coffee is good and strong, less acidic and bitter than Starbucks.
Great breakfast deal — oatmeal and coffee 3.99. 3 kinds of oatmeal; I tried blueberry almond, a bit sweeter than I expected with blueberry compote but rich and satisfying.
Very friendly service, and baristas were happy to recommend local vegan and gluten free restaurants, and live music venues. This will be my morning destination throughout my stay near the Convention Center.

Typical Caribou coffee… decent. Always have a good trivia question ready for you. This location is in the skyway in Gavadae Common. The only gripe I have is the lack of seating. I’m sure many come down from their office to grab a cup and go back to their desk but I’m surprised there aren’t more that would like to sit away from the office and relax. If you come here, plan to sit somewhere else… (one option is the 4^th level food court… lots of seating there if you’re looking for some)

Caribou always makes a great coffee and this location is conveniently located downtown and during the summer months there is a patio area. Wifi is always free with a few spots close to outlets. The 2 stars were taken off because of the abhorrent number of flies in the building landing on people and tables. I had to leave after 30 mins because it was grossing me out some…

Really a great place and a nice change from my usual Starbucks haven of study and caffeine. While my girlfriend was working this weekend in Minneapolis, we stumbled upon this place while walking out to lunch. Intent on trying the local flavor, we immediately fell in love with the coffee and service of this particular location. We’ve been here since Friday and are staying until Monday and so far I’ve visited every day at least once a day.
Their Northern Lite Turtle Mocha with sugar-​free dark chocolate and no whip is STUPID GOOD! Seriously, paradigm shifting people. Go have it. Now!
All this place needs is more space, more comfy cushiony chairs and a furniture reconfiguration because space is seeming limited here. Just that and voila! Perfection! Oh whatever. It’s already won my heart over :)

Cute place, friendly baristas, served up good coffee! Good location.
Smaller chain was a nice change up from Starbucks and Coffee Bean. Menu definitely tried to offer some items you wouldn’t find at those two.
Minus one star for a few messy tables, and not having some more comfy seats somewhere in there.

The first time I ever entered this Caribou was on my first date with my better half. Although not an intended destination, the evening took a detour when I suddenly got sick to my stomach, and we just happened to be right in front of Caribou, so I ducked in to use the restroom.
Upon entering, I found the bathroom to be occupied, so I decided to take a quick seat and try to explain to my date that I had recently taken some vitamins on a somewhat empty stomach (a big no-​no, but I was trying to get over a cold), so I wasn’t getting sick at the sight of him, but rather the vitamins I took an hour earlier were going to come back and haunt me…5 times before we made it to our final destination to be exact. And let me just say… Caribou, you were the classiest place I lost my lunch in!
Now that everyone reading this is about to lose their own lunch, I should probably go about actually reviewing the place…
Well, I have visited this Caribou a half-​dozen times or so since that fateful day, and although each time hasn’t been as memorable as the first, I’ve always received great drinks, and even better service. Once I was craving a particular tea latte from another coffee house 15 minutes away, when I stopped by Caribou to get my fix. They don’t have any sort of «tea latte» on the menu, but I described to the manager what I was looking for, and he offered to make his own version. He did, and it was fantastic! I know it doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but it’s often difficult to convince chain coffee shops to make something not on the menu, and here I didn’t even have to ask. It’s that type of service that will keep me coming back.
