“We love going to Luv for ice cream and other goodies Great staff and owners make going here even better!“

“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.“

“What a great place!!! I have been twice, coffee drinks were great - and the live music was so fun. Shows are all ages - so we've brought our 10 & 12 year old and they've had a great time! Thanks for giving the Twin Cities a COOL place for families to hang out without costing $$$“

“What a delightful haven with sweet indulgences on the menu. I savored the blueberry, raspberry, chocolate, and pistachio ice cream. The flavors were enchantingly rich, and the pistachio ice cream contained real, crunchy nuts. Alas, it was evening, and I didn't have the chance to sample their exquisitely priced coffee. This only means I'll be returning soon, with eager anticipation.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Christopher does an amazing job managing this Caribou located in the Securian financial building in Saint Paul's skyway system. Their friendly staff will remember your name with a smile. Once a regular, I no longer frequent their MSP Caribou due to the change of their loyalty program. With nearly 7,000 points, Caribou devalued my point value. No Bueno.

Parking: Horrible. They are located in the skyway system of downtown Saint Paul.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, via elevator.“

“Every Sat. morning coffee with friends. Barista Jim know us. Always friendly with everyone. There was a wait for my order due to so many "call in" orders. Also a continuous line to order but moved slowly. Those working behind bar were working very hard and efficiently.

Dietary restrictions: Breve is gluten free, sugar free option.

Wheelchair accessibility: My husband uses walker. No obstacles to go over. Plenty of room.“

“So glad to have Black Sheep back open in the community. They have great coffee, as one who drinks black coffee, the coffee has great flavor and smooth! it's a great place to have a cup and relax inside or when the umbrellas are up, relax outside and enjoy!“

“My MN go to. I always get a crafted cold press vanilla iced. MED. I do this at Starbucks as well I get the medium even though I could drink a large but the largest never come out with the same quality taste as the mediums and the smalls.They also have really great eggs souffle bake... Cannot remember the exact name right now.“

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

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

“Caribou is better than Starbucks (this is for my preference) but overall the workers are very friendly. For sure coming back here and will recommend this place.

Update: love to buy drinks from here but there’s a FLY TO MY COFFEE ? it’s so disgusting and disappointing. ? what if I swallowed it? Lol it’s so disgusting for realllll ???“

“This is my all time favorite Caribou. The staff give great service and are extremely sweet. My drink is always amazing no matter who makes it. Seeing other reviews comment on “noise of blenders” or “amount of ice” is actually really irritating since it’s out of the staffs control and they are just doing their jobs. If you can’t handle the staff making drinks according to Caribous corporate rules make your own coffee at home. This Caribou is a great location and I will continue to return. Thank you for providing my days with a drinks full of joy. :b“

“Got the savory crepe and sweet crepe and they were so so good. Also had the Strawberry mango smoothie yummm!!“

“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.“

“The service was great! My Carmel Cooler was amazing as always!

Parking: Plenty of handicap parking. Near the entrance.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s very easy for me to get into the business. The counter is low enough for me to order at. The staff is very friendly and helpful in reaching my money. They make me feel comfortable about being in a wheelchair. They treat me like everyone else but help where necessary. Great job!!! Thank you so much!“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“Always great. My biggest issue coming here is not being able to decide which drink I want because they are all amazing.Only note, and this is all of Caribou, not just this location, their drinks are very sweet. I almost always order mine with half the flavors/chocolate and an extra shot of espresso.(In case you're unfamiliar withCaribous)“

“Going to Caribou has become a delightful part of my work week. It's a nice place to look forward to Friday meetings with clients. I love being able to plug in and get to work with yummy beverages and good sandwiches! You can spend hours there getting caught up on paperwork. It is one of my favorite 'offices.' Second only to the hammock and my big plush chair at the cabin.

Vegetarian options: Love having the solid vegetarian foods on the menu to counter the sweetness of the coffees that I order. Proper lunch and breakfast foods like the sandwiches and bagels keep me grounded throughout the day.

Dietary restrictions: Loved that they had alternative dairy products when I went vegan for 5 years. Sometimes I do think that there may be a different frothing temp for them though as they can sometimes taste burnt. It may be an idea to experiment and add an alternative milk button to the espresso machines for good steaming. And, also have much love for decaf (when I remember to order it.)“

“great coffee and good conversation with the barista. chocolate croissant was amazing. definitely will return when back in Saint Paul“

“Alright bubble tea place, tea is pre-made and pre-sweetened so my milk tea was too sweet unfortunately.The place was convinient inside the grocery store through.The pearls we're alright and the fruit drink we got was better than their tea!Overall would recommend their fruit teas but probably not their milk teas.“

“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!“

“This is by FAR my favorite Caribou Coffee location!! I go here very often and the service has for the most part always been great and friendly. The atmosphere in this place is very inviting to anyone wanting to relax with their coffee alone or with a friend. They also have 2 meeting rooms if you have a group or work meeting you'd like to perform there! I've had several work meetings here now and always recommend this place to colleagues. Really wish they had this setup in more locations. Parking can easily fit most smaller commercial vehicles even with up to 30ft trailers. Larger semis or commercial vehicles can park on the road if you're quick, technically it's a no parking zone, but there's very little traffic on that road, maybe Caribou could petition to get 30min parking there for semis.“

“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!“

“I come to this location EVERY morning sometimes multiple times a day.... as long as I am there when EMMA is working I know my drink will be made correctly I give her my perks number and she knows exactly what I get. I adore her for that reason I will always go back!!! THANK YOU EMMA FOR THE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE now I need a couple of girls there to pick up on your skills ?“

“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!!!!“

“I tried the claddagh because I was interested in the dark chocolate! However it wasn't for me, it was still really tasty just not what I was expecting/wanting. The lemon poppy seed muffin wasn't very good either unfortunately. It might have been a mis off experience but I'd definitely go bad and give another coffee a try!“

“Love the atmosphere, perfect for our ladies time on Sundays. A good variety of boba tea. I personally love the cappuccino.“

“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..?“

“Great place to hear your favorite band or musician“

“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.“

“Man, the owner, Gerry, is such a nice guy! And the coffee is among the best I've had in the city... His place is a gem in the Wells Fargo Place.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly place with Hot Chocolate, Smoothies, and Donuts, and it's right next to the Children's Museum.“

“Key's doesn't just have incredible food but they make fantastic cakes. Their chocolate house cake it to die for. They did an incredible job matching the invitation and theme for my sister-in-law's baby shower cake! The spinach salad with warm bacon dressing it one of my favorites.“

“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“

“Very welcoming environment“

“I am in love with Caribou Coffee’s Matcha. Awesome hangout spot in a central area. Kind workers who end up recognizing you after awhile. I love you Caribou.

Parking: As this location is in a central area, parking can be tricky to find depending on when you’re there. However, I typically just walk.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are 2 doors, one closer to a divot in the sidewalk for wheelchairs to be able to ascend.“

“Wow!!! Delicious beyond belief...the case of treats is amazing!!! Quick and friendly service...this local gem deserves all your love!“
