Coffee Shops near Big Lake

“Coffee is so good and the atmosphere is so cute and cozy! Worth the stray from your normal Caribou/Starbucks drink. 🖤“

“Visited my local Caribou yesterday to pick up a Thank You gift card. Superstar, Owen; my favorite employee rang me up. Go in and chat with him. He is a wonderful young man! 🤩“

“Our order is wrong 70% of the time... no, I don't complain it does no good. The prices are totally outrageous... especially when the quantity of the food, French fries, hamburgers thinner, then a cardboard box. Not employees faults. They're very fast & try to be “

“Such a cute place! Loved the menu, food/drinks were delicious! I will definitely be back!“

“Awesome drinks and even better service. I just wish we could get some espresso. I mean- it’s a coffee shop! I know it’s not the employees fault, though. They still seem pretty positive and friendly despite being down espresso so long and it seems like management abandoned them and are doing nothing to get their machines up and running again. To the girls running the store; You’re doing amazing! Keep on rocking! To corporate/management; Maybe pick up the pace on trying to get coffee back in your coffee shop?“

“The coffee shop itself was so cool in the inside. Very comfy and warm, plenty of seating. Coffee was great too! When it came to order i got an employee that just stared at me? And I said hi with a smile and just got a lead paint state. Then I told her my order and she just stared at me still and said okay? And I said that should be it 😐 and she told me my total and I paid and didn't say anything else. I mean even at caribou they welcome you into ther stores and go up to the register and tell you they can help you when you're ready with a smile. When I came here, They all just stared at me when I walked in and then walked away from the register. It was weird. Probably would just go through the drive thru next time if I go again 🤷‍♀️“

“This Caribou location is dangerously convenient for my morning commute stop. However, the staff at this Caribou Cabin location always make stopping there enjoyable. They are friendly, accurate, and make for a pleasant experience. I stop by many Monday mornings on the way to work and really enjoy it there. Job well done, Caribou Cabin!“

“I always have a wonderful experience when I stop at a Caribou Coffee and this latest visit was just as wonderful! I ordered through the app and I had hardly any wait time to receive my order. The very friendly barista was waiting at the window with my coffee and sandwich which was delicious! I would recommend going to Caribou to anyone!“

“Stopped in after walking a few miles to rest and get get some water. The staff that was working there were very kind as well as the manager. One of them approached me and asked if I wanted anything to drink (a coffee) and gave me one for free. Made my day !“

“Great donuts and coffees.“

“Kiosk inside the government center in elk river. Their coffee is amazing!! Great taste to it! A little more expensive than other coffee places. Wish they didnt charge extra for non dairy milk.
Their cranberry white chocolate scones are also amazing.“

“Great service, very friendly people. Didn’t feel rushed and answered all our questions. Smoothies and coffee were delicious and the food is far and away better than any other coffee place I have been to. Definitely recommend!“

“The coffee shop was very clean and had a warm welcoming vibe. The bathrooms could’ve used a restock, it was 8am, so it was a little surprising to see toilet paper empty.

The staff were friendly and helpful, but unsure about the products (like sizes)

I ordered a caramel cold press, this was a first for me. It was very smooth and creamy, but lacked the caramel flavor. I also ordered the waffle sandwich, the actual waffle was a bit dry but overall great flavor and a perfect small bite.

My husband ordered the campfire blended, he ordered the XL and regretted it with how big it was, but said it was really good and not overly sweet but not a lot of coffee flavor.

Plenty of seating both inside and out.“

“Was here 1/9/2026 from 10am-12:30pm to work. Staff were extremely friendly and personable. I felt very welcomed at the location.

Ordered the brewed coffee which tasted great. The store was clean with plenty of space to sit and work or chat with friends.

Loved visiting this location and will absolutely be back!“

“I did a mobile order with an ASAP timing. As soon as I got there, my drink and sandwich were done! My sandwich was hot and cooked perfectly, and my drink was made very well with all the specifications I had put on there! This is my favorite location in the Saint Michael area!“

“It was super busy when I was there earlier this morning, but I must say that I’m super impressed with the manager on duty this morning. With how crazy it was this morning and one in training and one still new and asking questions, I loved watching how she was handling things and staying patient with them. This is the main Starbucks I go to because it’s convenient and I’m always pleased. Thank you!“
