26 Best Coffee Shops near Minnetrista

“I love having this addition to the neighborhood! It is so easy to place my order on the app and just drive up and pick up my order. While I'm there I often stop and get a couple of groceries as well. Clean, friendly, not overly crowded, and lots of seating in the upper level.

Parking: I have been there several times in the morning and have never had a problem finding plenty of parking.“

“We’ve gotten drive thru Mocha Monkey before but we made the trip to this location this morning. What a pleasant little spot. Well laid out, two drinks and two big muffins was $25 which is still in the realm of reasonable for today, especially because our muffins came in real tableware and silverware. It was a charming experience! We brought our books and enjoyed a nice time reading upstairs.
Although Waconia isn’t local for us, we’d come back for another rainy day reading sesh!“

“Great place for lots of awesome coffee and some wholesome treats. The pecan roll is very tasty, but there lots of options. Nice and friendly staff, and plenty of seating. I would recommend this unique bakery and coffee shop if you are in the City of Victoria“

“I love EVERYTHING about this place!! It’s also very consistent in the way they make everything!!“

“A great place to meet with friends.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Wonderful place with a great name. Lots of seating in nooks throughout with cute plant decor make this a special place to stop and share a meal/coffee or wine with a friend or family. We rented out for an after hours celebration for a 60th bday and it was perfect!“

“Serious Coffee Connoisseurs! Variety of organic high quality international beans roasted to perfection ☕👍“

“This was my first experience at this coffee shop. The staff there were amazing, super friendly, very helpful for I was indecisive on what to order. The flavor of my mocha was so delicious and smooth and creamy definitely could become an addiction for I would drink that all day every day.“

“The girls here are wonderful. Best service I have had . They the friendliest and quickest. They also have been very accommodating for special orders and get them right!!!They outdo any of the others I have been to. Those places could take some lessons from this caribou“

“I’ve tried so many smoothie recipes over the years, but this one is on another level. You can tell it was actually designed by someone who understands nutrition — it’s not just fruit and sugar in a cup. I love that it’s packed with protein and greens but still tastes amazing, no chalky texture or weird aftertaste. I’ve been having it for breakfast three times a week and genuinely notice a difference in my energy levels by mid-morning. Easy to make, keeps me full for hours, and my kids even like it (which says a lot). Highly recommend if you want something that actually fuels your day instead of just tasting good for five minutes!“

“Free wifi! (doesn’t appear that you have to order food)! If you want to dine in, unfortunately, the tables/booths are usually occupied with solo surfers. Only the drive-through seems busy. It’s like a library with coffee if you want that, or not.“

“I go to this Caribou often to work on my computer and have warm interactions with the staff every time! My drinks are made to my liking, and if there are any issues they get corrected with a smile and no questions asked. I highly recommend this Caribou location!“

“A huge shoutout to the gal who took my order this morning! She truly made my whole day with the great conversation we had at the drive-thru window. My coffee was hot, the food was delicious, and the customer service was hands down the best. Thank you for starting my day off with kindness, positivity, and such a wonderful conversation. It meant more than you know!“

“This is our local Caribou and it is always a favorite! I have never been disappointed by something I’ve gotten here. The staff is also extremely friendly and accommodating! In this photo is the cookies and cream cooler and the white chocolate pumpkin cooler. Both were amazing!! Pumpkin cooler is pretty sweet, while the cookies and cream is a bit less sweet. Highly recommend! :)“

“Breakfast sandwich and jungle mocha - great combo and free WiFi while I worked!“

“I love this Caribou. Always a great cup of coffee. I really enjoy chatting with the staff and they are always friendly.“

“I don’t really go here often but every now and then I’ll find a gift card from 2018 in my drawer and then I can justify spending $7 for 250mg caffeine. However whenever I do go the team working is always speedy and extremely friendly. Whenever I pull out 4 gift cards with $0.30-$4 on them the cashiers always look at me like I’m crazy. I don’t know how much is on them. They’ve been in a drawer for 7 years every time I use one it’s like seeing if I won the lottery or if it’s just an empty one I forgot to throw away. Anyways…staff here is great. Coffee is expensive but everything is expensive it’s 2025. They also need to start getting whole milk. 5 stars.“

“I don’t drink Caribou, but I stopped in with my kids to pick up a coffee for their mom. She’s the regular, not me. She has very specific order with special requests. Before I said anything, Suzanne already knew the order. Not my drink… Not a guess… The exact order, exactly how she likes it.

That kind of awareness and attention to detail is rare. I was genuinely impressed. Suzanne made the experience personal, smooth, and memorable.

She absolutely deserves recognition. Caribou, if you’re reading this, Suzanne is the kind of person who makes a difference.“

“I had a wonderful experience here today, my drink was made quickly and done very well and additionally the staff member Amelia was wonderful and treated me so kindly and asked me how I was and made me feel very special and appreciated making my day, I highly suggest this location to get coffee because the staff here are wonderful kind people that will make your day’s better.“

“Visiting Delano from Arizona and this wasn't here two years ago. Thanks for the great customer service, food, and coffee!“

“The girls that work at the chaska location are the BEST!! They take time to get to know their customers & are so sweet!!“

“I stopped today and picked up the taco bowl special for my husband and I. Delicious! I won’t hesitate to stop again!“

“Big shout out to my friends at Waconia Starbucks. They truly are all so friendly, funny and I look forward to saying Hi to them when I go. And Sophie loves going there too for her pup cup! Thanks today for Jake who bought my coffee, your the best it made my day!❤️ love my Starbucks friends!! Brigitte“

“This location is more quite than many of the others and that is one of the reasons I like it. They have plenty of tables inside to sit at, socialize, or work on something. The store is clean and well kept.

The cashiers and baristas are friendly.

My orders have always been accurately filled.

If there is an opportunity for improvement that I've noticed is that guests waiting at the counter are sometimes ignored or deprioritized over cars through the drive-thru. I've had experiences where I was clearly waiting at the counter to have my order taken before somebody pulled up to the menu board outside. The cashier has, on multiple occassions, made me wait while they took the customer at the drive through first and served them. That may be a company policy, but it makes the customers inside feel valued less.“

“I went through and asked for a shaken espresso but I wanted it s’more flavored and Stori was the one who helped me and she was fantastic. She was so sweet and helpful and my drink was the just the way I pictured it. The only bad part was I didn’t have cash to tip her but it was the best experience I’ve had at a Starbucks in a long time.“
