Our order was thru the kiosk. Order brought to the table and he was Very pleasant. And our orders the last couple months have been right.
Way to go getting some people who have Work Ethics. Great job.“

“They have wonderful chai, a good breakfast and very chill vibes. Great little coffee shop!“

“Great coffee place! What makes this place special is the owners providing a separate building for AA meetings that run from dusk to dawn. Now that is Good Karma!“

“The service is amazing and the food is so delicious! I love the ham torta sandwich. :) Definitely check them out!“

“👍🏽👍🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic coffee and tea combos, yummy locally made treats, fabulous staff - welcoming, calming, cozy atmosphere ❣️ Thank you ❣️“

“I gotta say, I am very impressed. Out of all of the reviews you guys are going to read, I promise you guys, no one is as impressed as I am. The Mowafar iced latte I had, the Adeni chai tea iced latte, the KhaliatNahl (honey comb), and what I was looking forward to tasting the most: the bint al-sahn (sabaya). Good job guys, and ps, earlier the day of posting this review, I ate Lamb Haneeth, so on top of that overall, Yemen just hits it out of the park all the time. Well done Qahwah, and well done, Yemen, well done. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪“

“This coffee shop is truly one of a kind! 🩷☕️ The humans who work here make the experience so welcoming from the moment you walk in. Kudos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And I don’t say this lightly — I’ve been ordering coffee for decades, and this is hands down the best iced coffee I’ve ever had! If you haven’t stopped by yet, you’re missing out 🙌🐒-T-🩷“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“Hands down the best tea shop in the entire midwest 👌 knowledgeable staff and very high quality tea. Never disappoints! great selection of teaware as well ^__^“

“Pilllar is an amazing coffee house and venue in NE Mpls. The staff are on point, they treat people and artist well, and it’s a safe and welcoming place for all non-turds. Coffee and THC drinks. What more could I ask for?“

“Great atmosphere, great coffee and the best caprese sandwich around.“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Great Ethiopian coffee! It's my "go to" place every weekday morning!“

“First bluegrass jam today. People and space fantastic. I’ll be back.“

“I needed a great cup of coffee on a cold rainy afternoon & stopped into Caribou where I know the coffee is always perfect. Never a disappointment. Greeted with a smile and fun time guessing the trivia question of the day. Always wonderful at caribou!“

“Loud music and strong perfume scent, might be headache inducing for some people, so if this applies to you, might be better to get a takeout. Skip the pistachio milk bright green cake piece and go straight for honeycomb cheese pastry with honey on top, it is so good! Aden tea is good, strong and smooth but no cardamom flavour. They offer table games which is nice and makes this spot very welcoming to sit and play with friends while enjoying a hot beverage but unfortunately they don’t have enough pawns and dice for multiple tables to play same game which defeats the purpose.“

“I don't frequent this caribou since it's pretty out of the way for me, but in the 5ish times I've stopped here over the past couple years, I've always received a high-quality drink, the staff have always been friendly, and the environment has always been well maintained when I'm there! I wish my local caribou was half as consistent!“

“They have good drinks, bakery and hot food is so-so, not the best. The only complaint I have is that it’s always cold/cold air blowing. Every seat feels cold, doesn’t matter if it’s farthest from the window, it’s cold. Hopefully they turn up the heat in the winter time“

“Came in to get some work done and left with a smile. The staff were so kind and helpful—it honestly made my day.

Edit 7/19: I was very talkative and took up the time of the baristas while they made drinks this busy morning. They were so kind and accommodating! I don’t always read the room properly. So I appreciate it. Thanks to the ‘bou!“

“I go here alot I order the same thing and request a extra shot of expresso. Same days I get what I asked for and some i don't. I love the employees that go the extra mile if it's not correct and also appreciate it. I have had 2 not so good encounters over all and was extremely disappointed. Most of the staff are wonderful. I hope they stay awhile. They make coming here worth it.. but like clock work the last 3 times i been here its like they go out their way to make my stuff. Wrong. I did not ask to have problems with some foods but its wrong ppl go out their way to try and make me sick“

“Starbucks made a big wrong move opening next to Caribou. Specially, the one in Lino Lakes that one is the most premium Caribou I have ever been to. They’re always busy lines of cars to the drive-through. Also, Caribou knows how to hire quality beautiful women compared to Starbucks The people at Caribou move like they took a 10 shot espresso but with a smile wow I love going to Caribou plus it always looks slow every time I pass Starbucks to go to Caribou“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“The food and coffee is so yummy and the workers are always kind! We love this place!“

“Best lattes ever!!!! Love the honey vanilla latte with cold foam ❤️❤️❤️“

“Great as always!“

“Not sure what her name was. But I was so impressed. My wife not feeling well wanted a hot tea. This young lady suggested the hot raspberry hibiscus tea. Excellent choice and brownie points for me. And I ordered the Ho Ho Mocha. She was awesome pleasant and smiled and gave suck a great service at 6 o’clock at night. Thanks again!!“

“The staff at this location are stellar! They are friendly, talkative and very helpful! My drink was made to perfection and my chocolate croissant was heaven on a plate. Great service overall. Quiet place, easy to meet up with friends or just gather your own your own thoughts.“

“We’ve been drinking Split Rock Coffee’s Breakfast blend for several years now and we won’t buy anything else. Amazing flavor and no greasy residue leftover to clog up the coffee maker either. Just wonderful, clean coffee that’s roasted to perfection when you order and arrives quickly. The flavor profiles are spot on too. Just get it…if you enjoy a great cup of coffee you won’t be disappointed!“

“I stopped to purchase a bag of beans. The staff person was delightful, friendly, efficient and took care to make sure that I really wanted the decaf that I had selected. The labeling is somewhat subtle and they made sure that i knew that it was decaf. I really appreciate that attention to detail.“

“Fantastic coffee and great service“

“Went in for something cold and not a clue of what. The person helping me asked for a few things I liked and I walked out with a drink I never would have ordered on my own. It was perfect. Green tea and a shot of blue Raspberry. It honestly was a treat. Thanks for a new experience and the personal ability you gave to me.“

“I tried to use my streak week rewards in the App and it stated that it could not reward it, so I went inside to see if it could be used at the counter and the gal was able to access it there and reward it to me. I kindly thanked her for that.“

“I love this caribou location. They're always so friendly and do such a great job. I'll often call ahead to order a coffee canteen and it's always ready by the time I arrive. They are so accommodating and make sure I have everything I need. The space is also very nice to meet people or just relax for a bit.“

“Thank you for coming to Ham Lake! Everyone is so friendly, service is quick, something for everyone in the family on the menu at any time of day, and the coffee is GOOD. Dare I say it, better than Caribou and definitely better than Starbucks.“

“Clean and welcoming! Very friendly staff. They turned attention to me as soon as i was ready to order, very cheerful and quick staff from start to finish. While I was waiting for my drink, they were all chatting and laughing. Good chemistry behind the counter and it wasn't inappropriate like I've heard other places when its a somewhat young crew. Perfectly tasty smoothies and shaker! Came out promptly despite them being fairly busy in and in drive thru! Overall, great experience !!“

“Always a little bit busy. But it's because the Coffee is the best Around. I ordered online and mistakenly got another task to quickly finish. Ended up taking A lot longer than expected. Oops. My fault. But order was ready right away.
Iced drink was mostly melted my fault but it was still awesome. The gals are always a pleasure to deal with.“

“My caribou family!

I would be lost without the folks who work at this location. I feel seen, heard, valued and respected from the second I walk in to when I walk out.

Every drink comes out gorgeously, and always with enthusiasm. I work right next door and not all days are equal, but whether I’m down in the dumps or having a great day, every single one of them brightens it further.

Thank you so much for everything you all do, you truly make a difference in someone’s life.

Many hearts and thanks,
Wesley“

“I was recently widowed and it is my birthday. The day would normally be filled with celebration. I forced myself to visit, and I am glad I did. Thank you for the wonderful cooler, it lifted my spirits. My shih tzu Alvin enjoyed the whipping cream.“

“Never been to a dunno bros. It's your typical experience for getting coffee, but they did have some unique options. I rather enjoyed the iced honey matcha, but its not a place I'll come back to. The card reader has 3 buttons for tipping. 18%+ is a bit much for the 1st option but I'm guessing pay as a barrista isn't that great if you need to subsidize with tips on 6+$ drinks. Positive experience but not something I'll partake in again. Kind staff and clean space. Parking is wonky though.“

“Came in this afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised I got a free drink because Savannah had told me that I had enough points so thanks Savannah. You’re definitely gonna be the store I go to from now on you’re very sweet give her a raise.😊♥️“

“Great lumberjack sandwich and iced coffee with minimal wait! Only issue was understanding the person on the other end of transmitter. Garbled, muffled. It sounded like she was just as frustrated as I was.
This was not an issue with the staff member working the window, who was lovely.
I noticed some staff inside wearing masks. This may have contributed to the issue?“

“I just stopped by (again!) and had a delicious Santa Cruz dark cocoa latte, perfectly made and just what I needed to make it til dinner!“

“This feels like a converted bakers square with the long “greenhouse” section of seating.

When you first walk in you immediately see the pickup counter and a row of 3 iPads to order from. There’s a second counter where you can also order from an employee.

I was unfortunately fooled by the photo of bubble tea and didn’t realize I needed to add that separate so I was disappointed with a $6 boba-less tea. Still tasted good.

Went back for a classic Bhan-Mi. Bread was amazing (baked in house) and ingredients were fresh.

It was pretty busy Halloween Friday at 11:30 AM. Many pastries were already sold out so I’d order ahead!“

“I want to give a shoutout to Henry because he was the best Starbucks employee I’ve ever delt with. He was so professional, funny, and kind. Very good customer service. I also overheard a very rude and arrogant customer arguing with a worker through the drive through and whoever the worker was, was extremely professional and just tried to deescalate the situation when someone was blatantly being so rude for no reason. I will be back to this Starbucks forsure!“

“What an amazing crew! Both of the team members who helped me this morning were happy, chipper, cared about the quality of the work they put out, and genuinely wished me a great day. It took my stressful morning and made me walk out smiling. Go team!“

“Outstanding customer service, with great attitudes and patience. They remember everyones orders every time and will always be happy to make them. They're flavors are spectacular with a variety of options to choose from. Along with They're unique shop, this has surely become a main place to go in my morning routine!! Appreciate it ladies!!“

“Starbucks located in Hyvee. Small but decent. Staff if decent. Normally not busy so it's easy to get in and get out.Like that you can get your favorite drinks and then go grocery shopping. Good location.Clean and fast service. Just a little ridiculous they charge $0.80 per syrup pump. Overall nice little treat“
