I think this is the best Caribou location in the cities the only bummer is there isn’t a drive thru but the team here rocks ! Thanks Lizette 💕 and Jenna“

“We ordered an ice cream pie for Christmas Eve. We battled over the options, everyone wanted a different flavor. We settled on Carmel Collision. It was outstanding!“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience here! This was my first time coming here and the customer service was GREAT, along with the sandwich and the drink I got ! Andrew was so friendly and helpful and the place is very clean, and peaceful. My new go to place for sure!! Very happy with my experience here.“

“Great little Ice Cream shop! The ice cream the service and the atmosphere was amazing! Thank you again!“

“Not only was the coffee excellent, so was the service. The baristas went above and beyond to help me today, even bringing my beverage out to the table.

The are a number of 15 minute parking spots right out front and a handicapped parking space a bit further down, but with wheelchair access to the sidewalk there.“

“I felt like I was at a European pastry shop!“

“Edit: they quickly responded to this review. Sounds like they plan to fix the problem so I updated to 4 stars. Hopefully, if I’m back it will be cleaner.

Good coffee and food but it’s a very dirty lobby. Not just normal dirty from a busy day. It was dusty and areas of the lobby looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time! Table legs were very dirty. Chair bases were even dusty (that doesn’t happen overnight). Sounds like they plan to fix this issue! Thanks for your quick response. I’ve been concerned that larger coffee shop chains are moving away from the in store experience. Hopefully corporate still wants to see the in store experiences of customers be positive and inviting spaces.“

“Met a friend for coffee. She ordered a mint hot chocolate. I'm usually a tea drinker(Caribou lattes are only coffee I like) so I ordered that too. The 1st sip made my taste buds sing for joy! Authentic chocolate syrup, delicious mint that's not too spicy or overpowering (like the other place😉) just perfect deliciousness to last drop!“

“Love, love, love! best bubble tea I've ever had!“

“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“

“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!!!!“

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

“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!“

Not to mention the coffee is AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend getting coffee here! Atmosphere is also great for doing homework and studying. Clean tables and bathroom, plus cozy chairs and a fireplace!“

“Great customer service and very friendly and care about us customer's. Shout out to loukis and the rest of the staff. Would love to see a recognization of some sort for the employees that above and beyond every single time i'm here.“

“Ya know what I like about going to Caribou for a little grab-'n'-go of comfort food? Almost every time, its almost like walking into the set of the old sitcom Cheers... They're always glad you came, and you always feel welcome. No, they don't necessarily know your name, but it feels like they do.
I love this place. Even if just passing through the drive-thru, it feeling like coming home.“

“Always great coffee at this location. Yesterday was exceptionally good!“

“I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious and huge. Couldn't eat it all. The service was great. Its a small Cafe but comfortable. There is another side that I didn't realize, that is the bar side. So you can have cocktails.“

“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.“

“This location runs out of everything so quickly!! especially the ham and cheese crossiants!! And they never have bananas!!“

“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.
