Coffee Shops near Big Lake

“Really good atmosphere and good coffee highly recommend“

“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 “

“Very friendly and affordable“

“In coffee shops where dawn breaks slow,
A furry form with skill does glow,
Caribou baristas, strong and bright,
Craft lattes with antler-tipped delight.

Their hooves, a staccato beat on floor,
As they concoct brews galore,
With eyes that shine like northern lights,
They pour their hearts into morning's first delights.

Their fur, a softness to behold,
In hues of brown, like coffee's gold,
As they froth milk with gentle care,
And sprinkle cinnamon with flair.

Oh, caribou baristas, noble and true,
Your passion for coffee, we hold anew,
In every cup, a story's told,
Of wilderness and warmth, young and old.

May your antlers forever grow,
And your coffee beans, always be in tow,
For in the morning's earliest light,
You bring joy to our busy sight.“

“The Sauk Centre, MN Caribou staff are unlike any others I have ever met. They are genuinely positive, happy you’ve come to Caribou and aren’t too busy to ask about a customer’s day. Sauk Centre has model staff who have become friends!“

“Best donuts and coffee!! Super friendly staff - every time!“

“Absolutely love this coffee shop! Has a very comfortable setting and beautiful patio! Didnt think I would say this but the Dr.'ed up coffee drink is the best! If you haven't tried I would recommend! Very refreshing! Little of a wait but well worth it!“

“I love all the people that work here! All do a fantastic job and are so friendly! The best location around. I’ve gone to other caribous in the area and they have messed up my orders multiple times… so I pretty much only go to this location!“

“Okay so my drink was awesome and I usually get a vanilla cooler every time I come here, however this time I noticed a bunch of little black dots in my drink almost like pepper..? I’m not sure if maybe they just have coffee particles left over or something but I just thought I’d leave a review in case it’s something more serious. The drink tastes fine, not different at all. Just contains a bunch of black particles ???“

“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!“

“They remember me when I come in, which I think is awesome. The only thing is I think they take care of the drive thru first, I drive a big work truck so I have to go inside, and usually have to wait. But I like my drink so I patiently wait.“

“This place, specifically Jess, always makes my drinks superb. The atmosphere is blacked and busy for a reason, they know how to bring people back for more. My only complaint is when you go in towards close the workers stand around and talk instead of helping you which i get being young but when there people in line, maybe don’t do that.

Dietary restrictions: I have to have 0 caffeine and they always make me decaf drinks that taste like coffee but aren’t going to make me sick. Everywhere else refuses and offers me “cream based” which i do not want.“

“I just wanted you to know that we had the best experience due to your amazing employee Blake. In the last month Blake has served us twice. Both times your employee was outstanding with customer service! Any employer would be happy to have Blake working for them. Thanks for hiring a great employee that could present some choices and make my kids & I laugh. Blake has an amazing personality and makes us want to come to your store again!!! Thank you 😊“

“I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve visited! The staff is always incredibly friendly, and the space is spotless. They’re super helpful—especially if you’re not sure exactly what you want—and they go above and beyond to customize everything to your needs. Highly recommend!!“
