50 Best Coffee Shops near Inver Grove Heights

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“I hadn't been at caribou in a year or more and so needless to say I forgot the lingo foe the drink wanted. She gwve me a couple minutes to describe it then said ohh. Yes you want a chocolate cooler! I also got a blueberry muffin. It was moist and tasty.

The ambiance was great. It has a drove through as well.“

“I stopped in here to catch up with a friend and we sat outside in the sun sipping on a very tasty black coffee. I haven't had Caribou coffee in years as it generally had a strange bitterness to it. Not anymore! I'll be back. It has a very quirky drive up. Quirky but efficient.“

“Usually don’t review stores inside a big box entity but really enjoyed the baristas that were working the afternoon of Friday Sept. 29th! Both were super pleasant and friendly!

Parking: Starbucks is inside Target

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to navigate.“

“Joss the barista is the best. Highly recommend her hazelnut latte. Sausage and egg burrito delicious 😋“

“Want to give Pam a shout out for her excellent customer service in the drive through! She was warm, kind, and welcoming which really can make a difference in someone’s day. This particular McDonald’s has always has been the most consistent in offering good food and quality service.“

“Came on a Sunday morning before breakfast ended. The team greeted me as I walked in with my kids. We used the kiosk with no issue and went to the play area. We were really excited to see the play area. I really hate that McDonald's has been phasing these out, they're so nice for long travels or cold days. This play area was clean and well kept. The bathroom in the play area had a changing table and was clean.

The team brought our food and drink to the table in a timely manner. Everything was what we ordered.

Thank you for all that you guys do!“

“Delicious coffee and baked goods! Our team loves picking up from your Cafe! 💫“

“Super cute, great decor, lovely staff, 10/10 would go again“

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“I love this place!!! The service is amazing, the staff is happy, the pastries are to die for, and the coffee is absolutely fabulous!!! I've had quite a few of Luminarys specialty coffee drinks and all have been exquisite. Today, I noticed a new iced peanut butter chocolate coffee beverage, and had to give it a try. I was pretty sure this wasn't going to be my favorite drink and I was so so wrong. I'm amazed once again and the iced peanut butter chocolate coffee mix might be my new fave!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“I got diagnosed with high cholesterol when my first child was born. I tried the medications and it lowered it slightly but the doc told me I still had to take the medicine. 3 years later I discovered Dr MOMOH & began studying his lectures. I no longer have high cholesterol, no longer take pharmaceuticals and I lost 60 lbs. What he is saying works if you listen. He tells you constantly it's easy/simple. It is in hindsight, but when you going through it, things can get tedious.“

“We love this place for the great seasonal beverage menu.“

“I recently bought an espresso machine and a nice grinder and wanted to find a local-ish roaster to buy beans from regularly. We tried two others and weren't blown away but then I did some research and found Roots Roasting. We bought their Classic Espresso beans online and it took me maybe 2 or 3 shots to dial in and when I did—wow! We liked them so much that today we drove from Somerset, WI just to buy a fresh bag and to try their coffee in the shop. I went with a spiced mocha and my wife got "something fun" and they are both absolutely delicious! We will be back and we will continue to order beans online if we can't make the drive. Really welcoming environment and the neighborhood is nice too. Great job Roots Roasting!“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“Cute, cozy neighborhood staple in a trendy, busy part of Saint Paul. They have an expansive breakfast menu with lots of sweet and savory options, and their drink menu is impressive as well! I tried the ube matcha iced latte, which was delicious, sweet, and smooth. Additionally (not pictured) I got their seasonal pumpkin smoothie which was sweet, nourishing, and had interesting fresh ingredients (sweetened with fresh dates!) Their lemon ricotta pancakes are huge, served with a generous amount of lemon curd and impeccably fresh blueberries. The texture is great: soft but not underdone, fluffy without being too heavy. We came at a busy time, so while drinks came out quickly, the food was a tad slow. All in all, though, I'd love to come back and try more menu options!“

“I visited st. Paul and had to come visit. Great food, great service, great ownership, wonderful cats, and a great city“

“Fantastic mocha. For a mocha, this had depths of flavor and the coffee was a delicious compliment to the chocolate. This place was busy on a Sunday morning. But was worth the little bit of a wait. There is very little seating, so I grabbed my coffee to go.“

“Fantastic coffee, incredible apple fritters. Staff were kind and attentive. They have a large coffee roasting oven behind the counter, so the entire place smells heavenly. Only one bathroom though, so don’t drink your coffee too quick.

Will be back, and likely will be purchasing coffee beans from them in the future.“

“always great service. excellent coffee. yummy Pastries. Great customers. the more people in line waiting the more smiles you see.“

“This is an update. Caribou Coffee on 7th is a very nice place for coffee. It is a small place but is very comfortable with great views of the hills above 7th. They have wifi, I use my laptop and I see others do the same. They have all kinds of coffee drinks and teas too! They have sandwiches, as well as pastries and other baked goods to go with your coffee. They have a free parking lot. They have a drive-through for ordering. Hours are 5:30am to 7pm,on weekdays. 6am to 7pm on weekends I think it is one of the better Caribou Coffee stores around! By the way the wifi is free! Great employees here as well!! A Clean restroom too! To conclude, I really like their expresso it is very good. The drive-through is a big plus here! On warm days they have an outside sitting area.Make your way to this Caribou you will enjoy it! P.S. this establishment handicap accessible!!“

“This is my favorite caribou in all the franchises and may be my favorite cafe on grand avenue! And it’s all because of the wonderful staff at this location :) Everyone is kind and engaging, it feels like a community experience walking in, plus I get a great dark chocolate mocha and a bit of tasty breakfast.“

“I really love this location but the young lady who was making my cooler got kinda snappy with the cashier because I wanted extra ice.

“Tevin was amazing! Outstanding customer service as well as a warm welcome and genuine conversation, this is exactly the heart that is often missing from chain coffee shops, and I really hope to see him (maybe even as a manager?!) the next time I stop in ☺️“

“I've gone to this Caribou so many times now and each experience has been amazing. The atmosphere is so cozy, I'm able to enjoy the scenery and focus on work. There are regular seats, but also some single sofas next to a fake fireplace that gives that good warmth in the winter time.
The service and food is a delight. The staff there are always so helpful with anything I might need. I don't feel afraid or anything to ask a question or two. The food and drinks there are so good, I typically just get the Strawberry Banana Smoothie, but I'm sure all their drinks are a 10/10!“

“Amazing shakes and teas! Great variety of flavors. Something to please everyone!“

“Great spot to sit and take a beat. The coffee is fantastic. The seasonal specials are delicious. They have a solid selection of sweet and savory pastries. If you’re feeling decadent, get a Carmella with oat milk and slowly melt into a puddle!“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“The staff were so incredibly helpful with recommendations and letting me try samples. I'd highly recommend checking this place out, the selection was fantastic.“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“Thank you for the birthday drink, Nicole 🎂 and for managing all of the orders coming in. I know mornings are busy and things can get lost in communication when handling so many orders and it was very refreshing to see her handle herself with grace when a customer wasn't happy with her coffee. She resolved it right away without questions asked, and communicated what Caribou has for creams and extracts, which the customer was unaware of or it was lost in communication/translation when ordering. Nicole, and ALL STAFF, work very hard to complete orders quickly and to make sure everyone is happy. Sometimes, guests are harder to please than others or they have other things going on, which spill over onto the staff. We can all be more aware, speak kindly to one another, and handle ourselves with grace, like Nicole did, when she was confronted with tones that no one would like to be communicated with. Thank you for making it right, relaxing, and realigning with who you are - thanks for not letting that ONE incident ruin your day and we can give that person grace, as they need it, too.“

“I visited this Caribou as a meeting place to visit family. The employees were friendly, polite, and hard working. The drinks were made perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing.
This is the second biggest Caribou I’ve ever been to. There was a large amount of seating options, which was perfect for the 6 of us. There were also several other groups of people, some visiting, some studying.
Everywhere I looked was a treat for the eyes. Cute little fake plants, beautiful large photography on the walls, little homey decor pieces, comfy seating, I loved it!
If I’m ever back in the area, I’d love to come back again!“

“A convenient array of staples for an excellent price and the owner is super nice and cares so much about the community.“

“Love love, love how they make my London fog every morning. I don’t always get their trivia question right but I love answering those as well. The one Caribou by target is my favorite one even though it’s not a drive-through they have the best customer service. They also got the greatest table so my buddies go in there. We can all sit around the table there’s 10 of us and we talk about guy things. I like to go in the morning and network with business people“

“1.) Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.2.) DRIVE THRUS:. Why can’t Caribou workers except credit cards handed to them (like in their stores) instead of using the ANNOYING credit card machine on a long pole? Other fast food restaurants don’t use them. I mention this to the Caribou cashiers and they said other customers also don’t like using them.“

“great coffee and good conversation with the barista. chocolate croissant was amazing. definitely will return when back in Saint Paul“

“Great spot for a quick cup of coffee, not a large store, only a few bench seats, but sits right next to a food court(town Square) with lots of tables and chairs. Probably not the best location for business meetings, but a great spot to grab some coffee.“

“got a old school vanilla cone they got 4 different cones variety of ice cream cool laid back place“

“Got the savory crepe and sweet crepe and they were so so good. Also had the Strawberry mango smoothie yummm!!“

“Alex and Jojo are an absolute delight! I came thru the drive thru just before closing time and someone was ahead of me ..ordered at least 5 drinks and they were still pleasant as could be and smiling. At the end of a long Sunday of Memorial weekend .that was amazing customer service!“

“Visited the Oakdale Caribou again after a not so great experience a couple of weeks ,(2-3 weeks) ago. Was happy to see the holiday flavors are available. This time the service was a bit better. 8n my last review I noted that the staff were not calling out customer names when food or beverage was ready. My name was said once and the staff I interacted with were very nice, they were at least calling out the food and beverage orders when they were ready. No names being called out. Hmm.... I do appreciate that the staff was very friendly. The iced cranberry dark chocolate crafted press was delicious. Thank you.“

“Switch to even a smaller cream cheese. The cream cheese that you had before this was already small and barely enough. Now it’s so small that I don’t even taste it. It’s like just eating a bagel plain. Price should come down if this is the size you are going to continue to have. Or you should throw two in there or at least ask. Companies try to cut corners and do the bare minimal. I know that this is not the decision of the staff. But seriously, one is enough for one bagel. Wish I could show a picture.“

“Why no recycling? Really? I respect a business that doesn't shirk it's responsibilities to it's customers and community. This is A BIG SHIRK that is oh so easy to fix! Our city will even pick it up at your stores. C'mon Caribou!“

“They remade the drink to correct size no issue

Vegetarian options: Eggs, muffins bagels cake , chocolate

Parking: Mendota Heights Minnesota, parking available on street or nearby lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: From car to entrance wheelchair access.“

“I came by Starbucks to try out the salted coffee recipe I found online, it wasn't perfect but acceptable ✨✨ sharing the recipe in photo if you also want to try
Once in a while treat because I don't want to break my wallet 😞“
