38 Best Coffee Shops near Orono

“Fitonka has a huge variety of yummy energizing teas and healthy shakes at an affordable price. Excellent customer service and they even offer call ahead orders. I highly recommend stopping into this shake shop that's full of fun, vibrant, and positive energy to meet all of your nutritional needs!“

“This is an amazing place to stay! Beautiful furnishings and decor! The location is the best; walking distance to the lake, many restaurants and shops! We will be back! Thank you Hotel Excelsior!!!“

“This is our absolute favorite local coffee shop! We go here on the first day of school and whenever we want a special breakfast treat. The oat milk latte, iced chai latte and caramel rolls are our favs! It’s always busy and closed Mondays, but definitely worth a stop in the morning when the bakery items are still available!“

“I stop by Basecamp almost every day for my iced coffee, and it never disappoints. I order the same drink each time, and the quality is consistently excellent. The staff is always friendly, and the service is top-notch. Skip the big chain coffee shops support Basecamp instead!“

“I always have excellent service at this caribou! One of my favorite stops for coffee, I'm a big fan of the iced flavored crafted press. It's lightly sweetened, creamy, and smooth. A big shout-out to Ethan who was super friendly and helpful today! And always provides excellent service when I see him!“

“I was help this morning by a lovely lady named Jill. She was so energetic and it was nice to see a smiling face earlier than 8 AM. She helped me fiddle with my gift card and was patient with me and appreciate the excellent service. And the drink was delicious as always too. Thank you, Jill!“

“Love this little spot! Employees are so nice and welcoming. Never had a bad experience here!

Parking: Parking is very convenient and easy.

Kid-friendliness: They have a cute little chalkboard for kids and outdoor seating, which is helpful if your kids are rowdy.“

“Absolutely amazing! Learned about The Fox and Pantry at Corks for a Cause Gala! Their food and presentations was absolutely top notch! The owner, Kim, is absolutely amazing and has such a heart for serving the community!“

“Steve Ortloff and his staff catered a meal recently for 50+ guests for my mother-in-law's 100th birthday party. They were accommodating, professional and personable. The food was plentiful, presented nicely and was very, very good, especially the broasted chicken. We heard many wonderful compliments throughout the party. We also liked that the staff came in the night before and set up all the tables with tablecloths, white plates and silverware. We were impressed. You can't go wrong with choosing GreenRock for catering.“

“Dunn Bros is a favorite and I was in the area so I stopped by this one for a hit. Based on these other reviews and the neighborhood I can tell it is in a snobby area of town that needs a reality check on their expectations on probably a lot of things. Staff was pleasant. Coffee was good. Internet worked. Plenty of space. I didn’t have the food but it looked pretty standard. Its a coffee shop.“

“Terrance recommended a great meal-replacement shake and tea combo. Topped it off with a shot of aloe! Healthy, fast, friendly, amazing!!!“

“I absolutely love our local Chanhassen Caribou. The service is always great here and online ordering is always timely and accurate. It also has the typical cozy vibe for dining in and they have a very small patio area for when the weather is nice.“

“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.“

“When you walk in the coffee shop was welcoming. A nice little cozy spot. I ordered the bacon avocado toast and it was bomb! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The inside was very clean. But, then we came across the bathrooms.
The bathrooms were really dirty. That's my only complaint. And we were there at 7:15 in the morning.“

“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.“

“Only thing that would make it five stars is speed! They can be a little slow at times due to how payments are captured at the drive thru and the awkward tipping questions as they hold the credit card machine. I think they need to improve this and make it simpler for customers and employees. Other than that 4 stars all the way!“

“We decided to go with Berry Coffee Company to provide beverages for our driver break room area. They have been great to work with so far. Good equipment, good prices and excellent service. It's also great to work with a local company that has the ability to meet our needs.“

“On Sunday, 09/07/2025, I had an issue at another Caribou location where my food came out burnt, so I came over to the Clydesdale Marketplace Caribou instead. The staff here completely turned my day around — they were friendly, understanding, and quickly fixed the problem. My order came out fresh and perfect.

Really appreciated how this team went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location!“

“Sam is genuinely the greatest employee I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. This guy definitely deserves a raise. And Jacob and Michael also. They're pretty good too. Sam has literally never messed up a drink ever in his life. He is a total baller.“

“Wonderful team with great suggestions and assistance! Best coffee around- whoever roasts their coffee is an expert!!! We had our crew meeting there and they accommodated no problem with a quick call ahead! I would recommend it highly!!“

“Caribou Coffee has firmly secured its spot as my go-to coffee destination. There’s just something about the vibe—cozy, friendly, and never too loud—that keeps pulling me back. But let’s talk about the real reason I keep showing up: the drinks. Their Cold Press is absolute perfection—smooth, bold, and never bitter. It’s the kind of coffee that makes you pause after the first sip and say, “Yep, that’s the good stuff.”

Even better? The Crafted Press. It’s a creamy, lightly sweetened dream that somehow manages to feel indulgent without being over-the-top. It’s my favorite companion for early mornings, late-afternoon pick-me-ups, or basically any moment I want to feel a little extra joy.

And can we please talk about the cake pops? These little bites of happiness are criminally underrated. Moist, flavorful, and just the right size to satisfy a sweet craving without sending you into a sugar spiral. Every time I get one, I wonder why I didn’t order two.

The staff always bring great energy, too—genuinely kind and quick with recommendations if I’m feeling indecisive. Whether I’m grabbing a quick caffeine fix or lingering with a book, Caribou always delivers. It’s comfort in a cup, and I love every bit of it.“

“Caribou is great, however….I really resent the whole ‘forced’ tipping thing when paying with a credit card. I realize I’m not being forced, but it’s really uncomfortable for me not to tip when the cashier is standing right there. I’ve started paying in cash now, just to avoid tipping in the drive thru. I realize these folks need the $$ but at $10 for a latte, owners need to pay their people so I’m not forced to!“

“Their coffees are way better than that other place that starts with an "S". Always smooth, never butter tasting. I will say that I got a piece of lemon poppyseed cake and it was super dry. I don't understand why they hi don't cover at least the breads in Saran wrap. It's always dry.“

“This little coffee shop is absolutely adorable! I was here a few weeks ago for coffee with my grandmother. I ordered a tiramisu latte. It was perfect! A lot of places with flavored coffees and lattes are too sweet, but not smith!! Phenomenal job overall!“

“The store was fine. but you’re using my loyalty number and information to send me a survey every time I go in your store makes me not want to go to your store. Please take me off your survey punchlist. It is disrespectful of my time and the only reason that I took the survey was to give you this feedback. Store is great.“

“The doughnuts are exceptionally good - we had a traditional glazed and a vanilla iced cake doughnut. Very fresh and light and airy. The glazed one was similar to Krispy Kream. I was surprised by how great they were. The matcha latte was solid as well. If you want a sweet treat in the morning, stop by!“

“I just stopped for my usual mocha - no food. The barista was nice, but since the store was nearly empty that time of day (early evening), I had to sort of call out to get someone from the back room. Once she was at the counter, she did a fine job and my mocha was good and just as I’d ordered (dark chocolate & extra hot).“

“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 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 was at this store when it was about to close in 5 minutes. I asked for a dark roast and instead of denying it the lady said she could do a pour over in like 2 minutes. How many folks do we come across that are 100% committed to the last minute during work. A big shout out for Camila! I’d definitely do my best to retain such an employee ???“

“Excellent customer service!!! I received a poorly made drink the other day, and Today the barista made it right. She was the only one working and was handling a lot of guests simultaneously.
Additionally, she continuously remember my name throughout the whole interaction and double checked to make sure that the drink was ok. Thanks!“

“Delicious pastries, great service and atmosphere.“

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

“My husband and I are in Deephaven for two weeks watching our grands and our son told us we needed to go out to breakfast at Beanhaven. He said “it’s like a little hometown cafe” so today after getting the grands off to school we did. Wow, such a cute place, delicious food and coffee and a delightful server. I had the sausage mushroom quiche with Jim’s potatoes, my husband had eggs, bacon, Jim’s potatoes and toast. Omg every thing was amazing. We will definitely be back when we’re here from Iowa 😋😋😋“

“Excellent staff who know their products and can recommend the right pick me up for you. Really enjoy their Loaded Teas. Definitely need to stop in.“

“Came into this Caribou location for the first time to do a little work before an appointment nearby. Plenty of seating options and lots of outlets, which I appreciate. I find it odd that the barista station is so far in the back, but is likely just a downside of the building set up and needs for the drive thru. I got a hot mocha and a warmed up blueberry muffin. Both were great and met expectations. Coffee trips are getting more and more expensive, but if you are a frequent coffee trip person, this is not surprising to you. Would come here again!“
