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“

“Ordered a few items & requested a carrier. I was told they didn't have any made & the lady at the drive thru said she didn't know how to make them instead of asking someone else to make one. I struggled being the only person in my car trying to make sure Cups of coffee don't spill all over. Very disappointed.“

“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.“

“Found this cute little small business coffee shop with tasty iced oat milk latte and a hot chai. Way tastier than charbucks around the corner and great service from Katie. Not obvious where to park to go in front door but just park right out back and walk around. Would suggest fresh snacks over prepackaged but otherwise a coffee win.“

“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.“

“Always hot food. Only problem for the dinner was they gave honey mustard two different times instead of honey! Ick. With nuggets its gotta be just honey.Or bq sauce. Always check your bag! Quick service though.?Love their egg, sausage McGriddles and their hashbrowns.?“

“Cute, cute, cute! So clean and coffee and food amazing!“

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

“First time in! Great service and a super cute environment with plenty of space. My coffee was very tasty. ☕️“

“Great food - they just added a bunch of wing flavors for sure check them out!“

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

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

“Stopped in because I had not been there. I was looking for a coffeehouse and found this place on google. It’s a small-ish place and was full. However, there is a patio out back, since it was still nice out I went out back. The patio is very nice and quiet, despite the place being near a couple of busy streets. Glad I found this place and will probably return.“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“I’m a huge fan of this coffee shoppe. The culture of friendship, hospitality, and delicious coffee is astounding. I’m here every day!“

“What a great place!!! I have been twice, coffee drinks were great - and the live music was so fun. Shows are all ages - so we've brought our 10 & 12 year old and they've had a great time! Thanks for giving the Twin Cities a COOL place for families to hang out without costing $$$“

“What a delightful haven with sweet indulgences on the menu. I savored the blueberry, raspberry, chocolate, and pistachio ice cream. The flavors were enchantingly rich, and the pistachio ice cream contained real, crunchy nuts. Alas, it was evening, and I didn't have the chance to sample their exquisitely priced coffee. This only means I'll be returning soon, with eager anticipation.“

“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.“

“Loved Mocha and Cortado !“

“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“

“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.“

“The atmosphere was really great and I very much enjoyed studying. They have a really great team !! always friendly and always ready to help. In an age of other coffee shops offering McDonalds style coffee, Caribou, this one in particular truly sticks to its coffee shop roots.( also my barista was really cute )

Parking: love this

Kid-friendliness: nice to kids“

“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.“

“So glad to have Black Sheep back open in the community. They have great coffee, as one who drinks black coffee, the coffee has great flavor and smooth! it's a great place to have a cup and relax inside or when the umbrellas are up, relax outside and enjoy!“

“The drive thru design is terrifying to use at this location. The person who helped me was kind and I loved our moment of connection. I would value Caribou coffee more as a business if they paid their baristas and point of sale employees a livable wage (when looking at medium rent in the area).“

“Love caribou used to work for them when I was in high school. The vibes in the coffee shop are always so bubbly and upbeat, yet relaxing at the same time and I always love the trivia questions

Vegetarian options: Yes most definatley

Dietary restrictions: They are marked and the staff can help you out if you don't see it.

Parking: Wide variety of parking in lot and also street.

Kid-friendliness: The have kid friendly drinks

Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicap parking and ramp from parking lot to get into caribou“

“My MN go to. I always get a crafted cold press vanilla iced. MED. 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.“

“Ari was awesome, she also starts my day off great. She has the best attitude and extremely talented with people. She is a valuable team player. Apple valley Caribou rocks!!!

Parking: Apple valley to s of parking

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“(I believe her name is Sarah) is the absolute sweetest possible. Shes always smiling and wishing customers a great day. I recently hobbled in with crutches and she stopped what she was doing to RUN to hold the door for me. Heart melting kind soul she is. A++++++++“

“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 “

“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!“

“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“

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

“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 ???“

“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.“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

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

“Always great. My biggest issue coming here is not being able to decide which drink I want because they are all amazing.Only note, and this is all of Caribou, not just this location, their drinks are very sweet. I almost always order mine with half the flavors/chocolate and an extra shot of espresso.(In case you're unfamiliar withCaribous)“

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

“Alright bubble tea place, tea is pre-made and pre-sweetened so my milk tea was too sweet unfortunately.The place was convinient inside the grocery store through.The pearls we're alright and the fruit drink we got was better than their tea!Overall would recommend their fruit teas but probably not their milk teas.“

“I come to this location EVERY morning sometimes multiple times a day.... as long as I am there when EMMA is working I know my drink will be made correctly I give her my perks number and she knows exactly what I get. I adore her for that reason I will always go back!!! THANK YOU EMMA FOR THE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE now I need a couple of girls there to pick up on your skills ?“

“My kids love this place but they are kids and love ice cream. Low bar. I can’t eat dairy and they have 3 options that I would happily eat and one that I go out of my way to get: Oat Milk Oreo.

Their selection of dairy options isn’t huge but certainly intriguing. My wife can eat dairy and although she doesn’t usually branch out from favorites, here she tries many things and is always happy with her selection.“

“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!“

“I tried the claddagh because I was interested in the dark chocolate! However it wasn't for me, it was still really tasty just not what I was expecting/wanting. The lemon poppy seed muffin wasn't very good either unfortunately. It might have been a mis off experience but I'd definitely go bad and give another coffee a try!“

“Best coffee in the twin cities!“

“Most of the Baristas are nice but my favorite Barista is Jennifer. She used to work the night shift and I looked forward to seeing her every night when I come there for my coffee before I go to work. I miss her!!!! Can she please be on nights again or closing shift or whatever you call it? PLEASE!!!!! I miss her!!!!“
