“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place deserves it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, the space is clean, and the energy just feels right. The coffee is consistently top tier smooth, rich, and made with care every single time.

But what really makes this spot special is the people behind it. My brother Mohamed is one of the hardest working, genuine individuals you’ll ever meet. He puts real passion into everything he does, and you can feel that in the service and attention to detail here.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee, getting work done, or just hanging out, this place delivers every time. It’s more than just a coffee shop. it’s a community spot.“

“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-🩷“

“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 ^__^“

“Excellent service and staff! Highly recommend. Friendly service and excellent food. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“I love bringing my daughter here to play while I have an iced coffee, but I do have to deduct a star because the floor in the kids play area is always covered in dirt, even if we come early in the morning. Otherwise, the baristas are always friendly, the coffee is top notch, and the vibes are immaculate ✨“

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

“Great coffee, people, and music!“

“The atmosphere is one of the best for a coffee shop. Plus there are plugs everywhere if looking to work. It smells great. The drinks are amazing. The customer service is outstanding and very friendly. Try the pistachio latte or Dubai chocolate cheesecake!“

“The customer service is outstanding! We appreciate that they acknowledge and recognize us when we walk in. The pastries are amazing. Chocolate donuts, almond croissants, cinnamon rolls, butter croissants are all delicious! In nice weather we are able to walk there. In the cold snowy weather parking can be an issue, but we always manage. I had 1 issue with my coffee once and the staff person quickly fixed it and was very kind and helpful, as they always are! Since we are typically there in the morning, I have not tried the dumplings yet, but I imagine they are also very good.“

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

“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!“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“Having an employee smile when they tell you that you could pay them less money because you have expiring offers you didn't know about is something I just don't expect. But that's exactly what happened. I walked out with a med brewed coffee and a chocolate croissant for less than $3 vs the $6-7 I thought I was going to spend. Quickly delivered and delicious as always, of course! Definitely a repeat customer!“

“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!“

“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“

“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 as always!“

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

“The Ham Lake Scooters is the greatest coffee shop in MN! The coffee itself is delicious; my typical go to is an iced cold brew with vanilla or maple. The baked goods are great, along with savory breakfast offerings. Service is always super fast. The employees here are unbelievable -- the staff members are so incredibly kind and social and good at their jobs; every single person I've met (admittedly quite a few because I stop often and at different times of the day and week) seems so happy to be there and interacting with customers. My Golden loves that they make a mean pup cup and always say hi to her. The manager also goes out of his way to interact kindly with customers and has donated some goodies to local teachers. Love this place!“

“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!!“

“Love the just egg flatbread, and boyfriend loves the lumberjack sandwich. Once they used dairy in a drink that I asked for oatmilk. For me, not a big deal- mistakes happen and he was eager to fix it. More important for those with allergies/intolerance“

“We love visiting this location and we visit often because of the friendly staff and cozy surroundings. Upon arrival we are always greeted with enthusiasm. Staff even remember the items we like to order. No matter how busy they are, they take the time to greet us and they never make us feel like they are in a hurry when taking our order. We will continue to visit this place.“

“Great Employees - excellent customer service with positive energetic vibes, excellent attitude and professionalism despite the high demands of the LB customers at this location. They never fail to rise above the fray and treat the customers, including myself, with respect and dignity as every person should be treated when dealing with the public in a customer service role in this difficult and challenging world we live in today... Thanks LB | Roseville Caribou Coffee Staff - you are awesome and you are loved!!! RichardN | South St. Paul, MN and CA Dude Hybrid Citizen of the Twin Cities :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic coffee and great service“

“There is a girl named Megan who is very wonderful and she makes drinks in a professional way. My favorite drink is dark chocolate mocha. I have been to more than one branch of Caribou and no one makes it for me the way I want, but Megan did it exactly the way I want... so I never hesitate to order my favorite drink from this branch, Caribou Cafe.“

“This company has been a vendor in my Kelleric Connections events, ave they are so yummy! One treat even has Biscoff in it- like wow YUM! Hands down TASTY! Go try them!“

“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.“

“Pumpkin Cheese buffin waa amazing .. service super friendly .. restroom 🚻 could use service and lobby/sitting area need a good cleaning . I would have given it a 4 1/2 ⭐ because of lobby condition but maybe they have been busy so I wanted to give them 5 ⭐ over all.“

“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“

“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.😊♥️“

“Almost, forever I’ve hated drive-thru. Totally impersonal & if you don’t get what you ordered, you have to go back through to complain. That being said it took me awhile before I started going to this one in Columbus/Forest Lake. Service was great, friendly & quick, but I still don’t care for the drive-thru.“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“First off I just want to say personally human to human Taylor Eye truly appreciate you.

Please remember that our baristas are human beings who have lives and do things other than make coffee. Please respect the baristas for them being human and also handling your drinks and allow them to be human just like you are human. Thank you for my beverage today more than you know you have ended my night on a great note and it's just because you were so real and honest and you were not mean about it please keep your spirits high you are a great person and again I appreciate all of you for the coffee. One love“

“Lovely breakfast experience. Staff was helpful and professional. Establishment is clean, open and comfortable. Breakfast croissants are phenomenal, and live rent free in my brain. The additional latte was a great compliment to the meal. Just like the Terminator, I'll be back!“
