These employees were slammed busy and they were still very kind and apologetic for the wait. Thank you!

Typical caribou. Good coffee, good service. Clean and comfortable surroundings. That's why I go to caribou when I want someone else to make me coffee.

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this Caribou Coffee location. I came in with my 7-year-old daughter and our 2lb small yorkie puppy (in my purse because she cant walk). The first barista, Adeline, acted strangely from the moment we walked in—no greeting, just a cold stare before disappearing to the back. When she returned, she still didn’t greet us and looked visibly unhappy. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and assumed she might just be tired.

Our simple order took a long time even though there were no customers inside besides one person using a laptop. She continued to prioritize the drive-thru and then disappeared again. Another barista eventually made our drinks and told us, “No dogs allowed, for future reference.”

It was nearly 100 degrees outside, and this treatment left us feeling awkward and hurt. A kind and clear explanation up front would’ve been appreciated—we would’ve respectfully left right away. There was a Starbucks but chose Caribou as we love the cold drinks they have, but sadly this experience ruined our day.

The tone and behavior of the first barista made the experience feel rude, awkward, and frankly discriminatory. This was especially upsetting in front of my young daughter.

To make it more confusing, I later saw a review saying they allow pups and even give out pup cups. The lack of consistency and professionalism is disappointing.

I hope you will take this feedback seriously and offer training or reminders to your staff on how to approach these situations with kindness, clarity, and respect.

Thank you for your understanding! God bless!

Drinks are always done correctly. Not much of a fan of the machine asking for a tip. But, that's just my personal opinion about that aspect of just doing your job and not expecting someone to tip.

The coffee shop was very clean and had a warm welcoming vibe. The bathrooms could’ve used a restock, it was 8am, so it was a little surprising to see toilet paper empty.

The staff were friendly and helpful, but unsure about the products (like sizes)

I ordered a caramel cold press, this was a first for me. It was very smooth and creamy, but lacked the caramel flavor. I also ordered the waffle sandwich, the actual waffle was a bit dry but overall great flavor and a perfect small bite.

My husband ordered the campfire blended, he ordered the XL and regretted it with how big it was, but said it was really good and not overly sweet but not a lot of coffee flavor.

Plenty of seating both inside and out.

This Caribou has a large dining room and friendly staff. The barista at the register wasn't sure about a question I had asked about a feature in the app, but asked a manager and got me my answer. The sit-down area was a little loud and had an echo.
