“Ah yes, the Target Starbucks. It wants so badly to be a real Starbucks, but it's trapped in a Target store... Reminds me of those Walmart Subways... They know what they're doing here. You can get all you fancy pants drinks like a real Starbucks.Fun fact: did you know you can roast your own coffee? You can buy SINGLE ORIGIN coffee for about $3/pound... That's about the same price you're paying for a single cup of regular black Blended Bean coffee. Man, Starbucks profit margins are huge.“
“I usually go out of my way to find a local coffee shop. The kind that sources beans from a single hillside in Guatemala and brews with water blessed by monks. But here in Champlin, options are limited. And this Starbucks, five minutes from my house, is absolutely doing the job.
The renovation? Dramatic. They didn’t just move the furniture around and call it a day. It feels ar least 30-40% bigger, with way more seating and a totally refreshed vibe. Comfy chairs. Tasteful finishes. Even the art feels like someone cared.
The staff is still upbeat and welcoming. The drinks are reliably great. And the playlist? Honestly, it slaps. It’s that perfect mix of contemporary, calming, and just energetic enough to keep you in the zone. Not a hint of lame ambient jazz.
And the Caribou across 169? Sorry, old friend. You’ve officially been outclassed. This spot feels modern, warm, and like an actual place to hang. Not a backup plan.
If you’re in Champlin and need a cozy place to work, chill, or pretend you’re working while scrolling for cabin rentals, this is it.“
