Best of all is their support for addiction recovery. A fabulous coffee shop that gives back to the community! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“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!“

“Great coffee! For me, she knows to put a little ice to cool it down a bit.“

“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!“

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

“This place is my idea of perfection! Great coffee and beautifully laid out antique shopping. The owners vision was a huge success. Thank you for providing such a fun, welcoming space for everyone to enjoy! 💛“

“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 ^__^“

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

“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!“

“Wonder place! Love the drinks, staff, and atmosphere. The dumplings were not as good as Saturday Dumpling, but they were really good. Hopefully, next time, I'll be there before the scones sell out.

This is a tiny thing, but I wish they had a compost. It's something I've come to keep a look out for living in Minneapolis.“

“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 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!“

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

“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?“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“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!“

“This Caribou, in particular, has THE MOST ELITE staff. They are extremely outgoing, they anticipate needs of customers, they are friendly, masterfully managed and they remember you. Outstanding, way to go Fairview Caribou! And no, I don't work there and neither does anyone that I know....Just a customer“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Great spot to grab coffee to go or get cozy and stay awhile. Black coffee is delicious and espresso drinks are unique and delicious. Food options are always a hit and staff is friendly and inviting.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I come here at least once a week and tend to order online. Today I ordered in person and was met by friendly staff who got my order quick. I really enjoyed my turtle cold brew and the cinnamon donut was good too. I will continue to visit this location.“

“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!!“

“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 !!“

“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.😊♥️“

“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.“

“I always love Caribou. We stopped here to refresh after a few hours of Christmas shopping at the Maplewood mall. Man, that takes a toll.

We had simple iced almond milk lattes that were delicious and replenishing. We sat at a table to get off our feet before driving home. It was a pleasant experience.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great selection of coffee that keeps my family caffeinated“

“I went for lunch while in the area of Rosedale Mall.
When you enter the building, it's not clear which line to enter. They have tablets at one counter, then a server at another counter.
There were no fountain drinks, but you can buy a bottled soda and ask for a glass with ice. A water dispenser is available, but no ice unless you ask for it. I know, it's a small thing, but I like ice in my sodas.
Food options and portions were good. People seemed to enjoy their meals.
Dining area has a good number of tables, and there's also bar seats for single diners.“

“Great as always!“

“I love the convenience of having a caribou in the office and the the employees are super friendly. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that they just upped the cost of an espresso shot from $0.86 to $1.72...seems a little excessive to more than double the price.“

“I love this location. Convenient right by the highway. I order from home go pick it up and on my way to work. The people are always nice and my drink is always ready.

Dietary restrictions: They have all the dairy free options and their bousted are awesome alternatives for coffee.“

“Had an amazing mango sago from here today - rich creamy, lots of sago and fresh mango bits. I was surprised to find they also had a wall of really fresh Asian pastries that I will be back for. The lady at the front was also very friendly and nice. I think this is going to be a regular place for me from now on!“

“Coffee always hot great place to hang out peaceful time and copy at the same time yummy“

“I’m a regular customer I spend a lot of money an when I came this morning threw the drive through an nobody answered me I came around to see the barista talking but ignored me he could of said give me a second but didn’t I felt this was rude “

“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.“
