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“

“We took to go coffee. We also tried hot chocolate from a different Caribou location. Love the fact that they actually have a dark chocolate hot chocolate option ( milk and white are other two ). Both Mocha and Hot chocolates are must try ! I did not tried any food items.“

“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.“

“The owner was working alone but made sure to make us quality wraps and coffee! The tikka masala wrap was soooo good and their iced blondie is to die for! I will say if you’re in a rush this is not the place for you. The worker was so nice and took her time to make us good food and coffee.“

“My friend and I stopped by for a quick breakfast before we headed back to our home state. We went through drive thru, which was empty. We had our order taken friendly and fast. I was even surprised that there was a deal going on where the sausage burrito only came out to $1 with a hash brown! Have not seen that happen in my home state, so I applaud that. Our food was prepared fast and delicious. I recommend this location.“

“This is the nicest McDonald's I've been to! The whole place was clean (even the playland) and the food was beyond fresh. It's hard to find a McDonald's with playlands nowadays and I really appreciated having a place to take my daughter on a cold day. I'll definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: Big, clean playland with attractive murals all throughout the dining room.“

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

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

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

“Great coffee, nice atmosphere. Seating is somewhat limited; it gets crowded.“

“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!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“They made our day! If I could give ten stars I would“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“I am so glad this is not near my house, it is dangerously delicious, this place is amazing, from smoothie bowls to crapes, cofee to pastries, atmosphere is amazing, wether you sit inside or enjoy the beautiful MN weather.

Vegetarian options: They can basically customize the crepes and anything on the menu“

“I always gravitate to a locally owned shop and this was a great choice. Cool little space, great service and, lest we forget, Great Coffee. They know what they're doing:) Starbucks and Caribou will be just fine without You and I, go here instead.“

“Very busy when I visited, but managed to find a table.

The barista was so nice. They hit me with a big smile when I made it to the counter and humored me when I requested a blended London Fog.

It tasted fantastic!

I was thankful for an hour of free wifi accompanied by the cacophony of the city and a good beverage.

Did a bit of sun-seeking on the back patio, too.

It was very cozy!

Parking: Thankful that they had a parking lot to the side of the building. It filled up quickly but also had a two hour time limit to keep things moving a bit. Very nice!“

“Christopher does an amazing job managing this Caribou located in the Securian financial building in Saint Paul's skyway system. Their friendly staff will remember your name with a smile. Once a regular, I no longer frequent their MSP Caribou due to the change of their loyalty program. With nearly 7,000 points, Caribou devalued my point value. No Bueno.

Parking: Horrible. They are located in the skyway system of downtown Saint Paul.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, via elevator.“

“The staff here are super patient, quick and kind! We came here with two families, ordered LOTS of coffee multiple times and each experience was pleasant. I have two babies and still didn’t mind getting them wrangled out of the car and into the building because it was so nice.“

“Caribou is better than Starbucks (this is for my preference) but overall the workers are very friendly. For sure coming back here and will recommend this place.

Update: love to buy drinks from here but there’s a FLY TO MY COFFEE ? it’s so disgusting and disappointing. ? what if I swallowed it? Lol it’s so disgusting for realllll ???“

I do this at Starbucks as well I get the medium even though I could drink a large but the largest never come out with the same quality taste as the mediums and the smalls.They also have really great eggs souffle bake... Cannot remember the exact name right now.“

“love Love LOVE this place. I’ve been to every spyhouse, and this location takes the cake! Every drink I’ve had here has been crafted with love, I feel joyous after every sip???my favorite barista Quincy works here and really just makes me want to come back for more!“

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

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

“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.“

“Wow What GREAT Customer Service !! Tom made My Morning goin Shopping For Thanksgiving so stressed not so good Mood !! Let Me Say Mike turned that around , He had Me laughing ? ? what a guy !!! These People belong in Customer Service THANKYOU TOM AND “

“This is my all time favorite Caribou. The staff give great service and are extremely sweet. My drink is always amazing no matter who makes it. Seeing other reviews comment on “noise of blenders” or “amount of ice” is actually really irritating since it’s out of the staffs control and they are just doing their jobs. If you can’t handle the staff making drinks according to Caribous corporate rules make your own coffee at home. This Caribou is a great location and I will continue to return. Thank you for providing my days with a drinks full of joy. :b“

“I have experienced and loved this place. All the food and drinks here are delicious. The space is clean. Will come back to support.“

“Barista Dani was so welcoming and efficient while giving excellent customer service this morning when my friend and I were at the Apple Valley Caribou at Byerly’s. She was a shining example of why Caribou remains my favorite coffee shop: well-trained employees with positive attitudes making great drinks!“

“This shop is in my neighborhood, and I love its coffee and ice cream. It's right next to The Nook and RanHam Bowl. You've gotta try Exhausted Parent ice cream (bourbon + chocolate pieces) or their Halley's Comet or Latte Da flavors.“

“best brewery in MN with a not condescending staff and huge selection of amazing beer and ever huger selection of places to sit“

“The team here gets a shout out. They got slammed by a big group of people while I was working. The staff was responsive, kind, and positive and took care of everyone. They ran out of some stuff when I reorder but gave a rockstar recommendation for an Americano as an alternative.“

“it’s nice but the parking lot is absolutely awful. also they use too much grease in their food. otherwise the place is pretty and the drinks are tasty.

Parking: super tiny parking lot and the entry is right next to intersection, i got honked at going in because there’s no lane for it“
