“Starbucks located in Hyvee. Small but decent. Staff if decent. Normally not busy so it's easy to get in and get out.Like that you can get your favorite drinks and then go grocery shopping. Good location.Clean and fast service. Just a little ridiculous they charge $0.80 per syrup pump. Overall nice little treat“

“I've visited this location often during the December holidays in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022.This location has exceptional staff each year. Their speed of service for delivering coffee + food is great! Even when the line is about out the door, you still get your coffee + food in hand within 10 minutes of you ordering. This specific location gets me excited for Caribou coffee + bagels as a brand, and wishing there was one within 5-6hrs of where I call home.

Vegetarian options: You can get a bagel with cream cheese, and impossible sandwiches.

Parking: Plenty of parking for this location.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs/steps needed to access this. Wheelchair accessible parking very close by.“

“I Come To This Location Daily To Njoy My " Liquid Gold", & Today I Noticed How Professional The Manager Trasie Handled A VERY Rude Customer..I Was Behind The Customer In Line, & The Customer Was Literally Throwing The Money At Her! How Rude!! Couldn't Take A Moment, & Nicely Place It In Her Hand Like A Civilized Human Being.. Trasie Handled This Client Beautifully, Instead Of Getting Frustrated, She Smiled & Finished The Transaction..Trasie Deserves Special Recognition.Beautifully Handled..?“

“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.“

“If I'm going to spend money on a cup of coffee somewhere, this is going to be the place! It's the home of my favorite drink, the mint condition. None of their competition offer anything comparable either so I won't go anywhere else.“

“I so wish I had taken a picture of my meal but I was so excited when it came out, I just dived right in. I had the turkey meal and I was really skeptical because some places have just.. very cheap and gross turkey, not keys! The turkey dinner was absolutely incredible, from the turkey to the mashed potatoes to the stuffing which reminded me so much of my mom's that I've always loved. The service was fast and fantastic.“

“Starbucks in Kowalski’s Oak Park Heights is the best! We go out of our way to come to this location for 2 reasons….. the people who work here and they make the best drinks! Abby and her team are amazing, they know us by name and remember our drink order.They do a rinse through the espresso machine for my husband’s decaf espresso, so nice!“

“I'm soooo bummed. What happened Dunn Bros? So sorry to see u go...“

“I had a wonderful experience here today. My family loved the donuts I picked up for them & the service could not have been better. Jeremy is so kind & such a delightful person. He made my experience there extra special. It’s not everyday you find someone who goes above and beyond that makes your experience at a place memorable. Thanks for being so kind. I highly recommend this place & I will be back.“

“Luv Ice Cream is a fantastic shop to visit. Their ice cream is delicious! The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We could have talked for hours! There are so many choices for vegan and keto conscious patrons. If you want wonderful sugar free options this is your store!“

“Delicious sandwiches 🥪! Would definitely recommend to everyone!“

“I love my Caribou coffee. The staff is amazing and I have always had the best interactions with them.
Thank you guys, you are the best!
It's a bit tricky pulling into their location but I am determined for my coffee! So this does not deter me. Also the kind staffakea it worth it.
They don't have any dairy free options for food for my daughter, so that's an idea for Caribou! She would love to eat some of the food at Caribou.“

“I haven't been here for many years, because I had moved. Back closer and I remember why I liked it. Best breakfast I've had while going out to eat. If you haven't tried it, you should. Big portions, great tasting food, pleasant service. Finally, someone cooked my eggs the way I like them.“

“This location is fantastic. The staff are always friendly and truly enjoy their jobs. It definitely shows! I love coming here to get my coffee! �“

“very spacious and quick service“

“I regularly get Starbucks orders in person or for pick up when I pick up my groceries. The team of people working here is always so attentive and go the extra mile to provide a good experience.
To no fault of the lovely baristas here but to the fault of whoever designed the cold drink lids for Starbucks as an organization- I unfortunately received several spilled drink orders once I received it for pick up because there is no good ergonomic way to seal some of the lids. The baristas are always willing to remake my drink and make it right.
I appreciate this Starbucks team and Lisa their team lead for always going the extra mile. Other locations really should look to this Starbucks location as a good example of great customer service. I see a few mixed reviews about “staff being rude or disrespectful”, and that could not be further from the truth. Staff here is always nice, welcoming, and helpful. Thank you.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free, gluten free, and sugar free options are available for food an beverages or snacks.“

“Good service and good coffee. The owner recognized me on the second time i came in and already knew what I wanted. He is friendly and engages me in conversation when there are no other customers waiting.“

“I chose this caribou (there are several nearby) because when I order the cooler, it actually still has ice. I usually order with an extra shot of espresso, and I can actually tell - whereas other locations seem watered down and not so strong. Staff has always been kind and friendly.“

“I always have such great experiences at this Starbucks but I am taking the time to write this to acknowledge Faith. She is always so kind at the window and I always leave smiling. She goes above and beyond in her role and it keeps me coming back!“
