48 Best Coffee Shops near Lino Lakes

“Starbucks made a big wrong move opening next to Caribou. Specially, the one in Lino Lakes that one is the most premium Caribou I have ever been to. They’re always busy lines of cars to the drive-through. Also, Caribou knows how to hire quality beautiful women compared to Starbucks The people at Caribou move like they took a 10 shot espresso but with a smile wow I love going to Caribou plus it always looks slow every time I pass Starbucks to go to Caribou“

“I wish I got the name of the girl who was in the drive thru at 2:42 this afternoon! She was awesome!! Super up beat and just made the “experience” so fun! This was my first time here and you’ll definitely see me here again! Thank you drive thru girl! You didn’t know I needed that but I did❤️“

“super lo recomiendo Mucho“

“I can confidently say I’ve never had “good” McDonald’s, but this location nailed it. Not only did they read/review our order with us twice, but the food came out hot and actually tasted good. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been stuck in stale-fry purgatory. These fries were what dreams are made of. Extra kudos to the young girl working the window, she was so nice and did her due diligence making sure our order was correct. And don’t get me started on the godly nectar that is their fountain Diet Coke. 10/10 experience.“

“I love coming here for breakfast. Good coffee and food is always tasty and hot. The women who work here create a nice, clean, and happy atmosphere. Great service. Love hearing their kitchen chatter in Spanish, making me wish I was bilingual, too.“

“First time here and will be back. Friendly service and Delicious coffee! We tried the Mazapan Latte and Miel Latte...both very good!“

“My absolute go to for coffee in the twin cities. So many reasons to support this business!“

“One of my favorite small business to support. Very friendly staff, super creative drinks and the latte art is always on par !“

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“Great coffee! For me, she knows to put a little ice to cool it down a bit.“

“The coffee here is amazing!
I am a cold coffee person even in the winter when I visit.
Hot cocoa is good if you can't handle cold coffee in winter.
Caribou Coffee is a must stop treat whenever I am in Minnesota!
Depending on the location service is different.
They also close very early.“

“Nice staff. Fast service. Delicious food. Great place to grab coffee or breakfast or lunch. Big inside and tables outside if you have a meeting or need to study. Their caramelized almond latte is my favorite. I highly recommend stopping by!

Dietary restrictions: Two types of gluten free options for breakfast sandwiches.“

“My favorite Caribou location in the entire metro. The staff are excellent and friendly, and we haven't had any dairy contamination in years!

Vegetarian options: Allmost all the drinks are vegetarian but not vegan. Any drink with chocolate is not vegan. Very few of the sandwiches are vegetarian and none of them are vegan.

Dietary restrictions: All the drinks can be made with an alternative milk option for those with dairy allergies. However none of the chocolate is dairy free.

Cross contamination is very possible, but unlikely.

None of the sandwiches can be made dairy free.

Gluten free options are very limited. The bakery section in general is not Celiac or Dairy-allergy friendly.

Parking: Parking during peak hours is miserable and parking during high snowfall is worse.

The parking lot is well designed, it's just a very popular little strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Relatively kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: No button, wheelchair users will need aid to get in the door.“

“One of the best and most unique cafes to visit on long wintery days in Minnesota. It gives you that Dubai vibe, and a great place you should check out.“

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“The food and coffee is so yummy and the workers are always kind! We love this place!“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“When I visit this local coffee shop, my coffee is always done right! Love this place!❤☕“

“The two people working at the time were great -- very pleasant and professional. I was greeted right away with a smile and asked if I had an account, which I did.

The shop was very quiet -- I must've come at time in the afternoon there is a lull, because it's usually pretty busy, but not too busy. I definitely felt I was getting their full attention!

Allover great experience!“

“I particularly appreciated the low level background music. Sometimes coffee shops are playing loud music which interferes with patron conversations.
And if course the coffee was great and Caribou free coffee refills are a nice bonus.“

“Staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. I asked a lot of questions since I'm new to the area and had not tried Caribou Coffee before. The drink was made exactly to my specifications and was very good.
Apple cinnamon pastries are delicious. I took an extra one home with me. Eggs benedict sandwich was okay but less flavorful than expected. The store was very clean and had a comfortable atmosphere.“

“Jodie and Emma take care of, remembering what I order, recognizing me when I visit with a smile, and keeping the machines clean so my drink tastes just right each time. I appreciate the convenience of this Caribou as it is inside where I shop. I see they treat other customers in the same manner as I note when waiting in line.“

“I tried the new Eggs Benedict Sandwich and as a whole I really liked it but, in my own opinion (just my own opinion), the sauce on the sandwich could use a bit of review to make it closer to the hollandaise sauce. It wasn't as close to the actual thing as I was personally expecting but maybe there's reasons why. Definitely worth the try though 100%.“

“OMG! Milk chocolate Mocha💕No other destination for this beverage period. Love black, bitter, oily black coffee, but for Mochas. Love the little cakes, sami’s, etc as well and service is consistent😁👌

Kid-friendliness: My kids love Caribou, especially the very devious ‘Cake pops’ they came up with😂

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible inside/out“

“Great selection of coffee that keeps my family caffeinated“

“Just your typical Caribou Coffee Shop there is outside seating which makes it nice in the summer.
I would like to see a plant based sweetner available (stevia, monk fruit) rather than the artificial sweeteners available.
As always, I'm grateful for the trivia questions. I like learning the odd / weird things in the world“

“I really like this Caribou, which I have used for remote work recently. The staff is nice and they have mint tea and other non-coffee options which I like (too late in day for coffee). I just wish the food options were wider, including for customers who need to keep gluten-free. Also, the restrooms could be cleaner. Thanks.“

“Staff is always friendly and helpful. My drinks and food are always accurate and delicious! They are speedy and this location is fairly easy to get in and out of quickly if you are in a rush.

Parking: Easy to park, run in to grab a mobile order - enough space to pull around and exit lot beside drive through too!“

“It’s a chill place to get boba and sweet deserts. I underestimated it at first but I was proven wrong. Customer service was nice and chill and the food were really good. I have a pic of the drink I got but it’s dark so it’s not a good quality pic.

Parking: Parking is standard. Nothing crazy but it’s good.

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is cute and friendly so kids won’t be scared.“

“Great as always!“

“Today was our first visit - we got a croissant breakfast sandwich, chocolate donut, and chocolate croissant and it was all delicious! The Pumpkin Spice iced latte was so yummy, great coffee.“

“I love the convenience of having a caribou in the office and the the employees are super friendly. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that they just upped the cost of an espresso shot from $0.86 to $1.72...seems a little excessive to more than double the price.“

“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“

“Walking distance from the Rose Gardens of Lake Harriet. You're going to love the pastries , the staff and the coffee.“

“It was extremely busy and the kowalskis manager stepped in to run the register so that both Starbucks employees could make drinks. Great teamwork“

“Swung by today with my pup and he was treated to a pup cup and got a 'hi pup' from the drive thru lady. Caribou rarely disappoints and this location is no exception. It's a handy location across from the booming LOVES which makes it a perfect spot to swing by after dealing with the stress of buying gas. They are friendly and quick here and the building itself is super cute. Great place to go on warm days with the walk up window.

Kid-friendliness: They have a whole kids menu unlike other coffee places.“

“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.“

“This location is large and has a number of spread out seating areas. You can find a place to have a bit of privacy. It even has a type of a meeting room directly in the back. Plenty of attached parking. It was tidy and had friendly staff and well maintained restrooms.

Parking: Large attached lot“

“I visited this location this morning 11/10/23 and they were super busy but I can't even say enough amazing things about how kind and patient the staff were. Despite being busy they were still professional and didn't make me feel rushed. I appreciate my experience there! A huge thank you to them for working so hard!“

“Absolutely wonderful service! I took a little longer than usual to order and the baristas were more than patient with me, and even re-made my drink without batting an eye when I forgot to order soy!“

“When the online order ahead was down, I walked up to the front desk and was greeted warmly and asked if I wanted my regular order! I don’t remember what my order is due to I have it on the app and just push the button, but the girls knew EXACTLY what I wanted and order regularly! They definitely pay attention to details! Thank you so much for the kindness day after day!“

“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 recently visited Starbucks Coffee and had a delightful coffee experience. The quick service at the counter ensured that my order was promptly taken and prepared to perfection. The staff members were friendly and provided excellent customer service, creating a positive and welcoming environment. I opted for their medium roast coffee, and it was nothing short of amazing. The rich and robust flavors of the coffee truly satisfied my taste buds. Overall, my visit to Starbucks Coffee was fantastic, and I highly recommend it for those seeking a quick, friendly, and exceptional coffee experience“

“I just moved to the area and after my first 3 visits here i can easily say this is the best Caribou I’ve been to! I only use the drive-thru but it has been amazing every time. My large cold press with a half pump of caramel seems easy but all of my old Caribous messed it up every time.
The service has been amazing, friendly quick and helpful. I’d say everyone should come here but I don’t want the lines to get too long lol!
Keep up the great work!

Parking: It’s a coffee shop on a corner near a large grocery store. If you plan on going to sit, you have plenty of parking options.“

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

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

“The wife introduced me to the dream loungers....this is a life changer for me.My only gripe and the reason I didn't rate 5 stars is the dreamloungers need the reclining button moved. When I am sitting in them I have to constantly make sure my hips aren't hitting the buttons. If the movie takes an exciting moment i always end up hitting the button and it is slightly annoying.“
