I highly recommend stopping into this shake shop that's full of fun, vibrant, and positive energy to meet all of your nutritional needs!“

“Drinks are always impeccable, service is A+, the only problem is finding a seat as they are always packed! Their prices are reasonable for downtown Excelsior, and especially for the quality (their wine prices might be the best in the area!).“

From the delicious coffee to the incredible pastries & sandwiches, you will not be disappointed with anything you order! They also are hosts to events & birthday gatherings, which I've been lucky enough to attend & the atmosphere is so charming and fun! 10/10 would recommend!“

I will absolutely be back!“

“Great coffee spot for working remotely. Has an industrial feel with high ceilings. Quiet and clean. Enjoyed my ham and cheese scone from Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe. It was tasty and fresh. Met a friend for coffee and this was the perfect spot located off Excelsior Blvd in Excelsior.“

“I stopped by this bakery and coffee spot. I asked what they suggested I try and let me tell you they did not disappoint when I took a sip of Lavander vanilla latte. I would of probably never picked that myself but I'm so glad they suggested thank you!“

“Such an amazing place! Their breads, pastries and sandwiches are amazing! Highly recommend their soup as well for a cold winter day! I have not had any of the coffee before but if you are looking for a great sandwich for lunch highly recommend this place! Everyone here are so kind and patient. It is a smaller place so be aware that it can get busy during peak hours but plenty of places to sit!“

“I love this Caribou.They’ve always treated me well, taken care of me, and loved on me HARD.I always find at least ONE person I know here, and often times, have run-ins with two or more people I know from the community.It can get busy in here. That’s saying a lot for small town Mound!The largest dark chocolate mocha, with real chocolate chips, was always my order.☕️HOT, no matter the time of year.“

“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!“

“Faith and the entire staff are great! The shakes are perfectly blended and flavorful. I’ve been to nutrition clubs where the staff aren’t friendly or helpful. This is NOT the case here! I definitely recommend going if you’re in the area!“

“Oh my gosh! Absolute best food I have had since I arrived 3 days ago. Very very cute coffee house. I had a chai Tea.. amazing. We each had something yummy and different to eat for breakfast. I had the jalapeño breakfast biscuit! So delicious - bacon has such a good flavor! My daughter had the Avocado breakfast sandwich and she said it was so fresh, the spicy mayo brought the taste all together! My hubby had the breakfast plate complete with raspberry jelly and my other daughter had a sausage breakfast sandwich. The sausage was so full of flavor and good! If I travel to Minnesota again- I will definitely stop and would 100% recommend!“

“This place rocks! Why go to a big chain type coffee shop when you can come to Excelsior...have a view of the lake...have a wonderful coffee and a sandwich made from scratch plus talk to the owners at the same time! The ham, egg and cheese croissant is my go to! 10/10 would recommend!“

“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.“

“I was here for a breakfast meeting. It was excellent. I had scrambled eggs and an excellent, fresh rosted coffee. The meeting room is quiet and well equipped. In the shop you find small exhibitions of local artists that make the atmosphere cozy. You can buy artworks in the shop. The staff is very friendly and served us quickly.“

“I’ve had a lot of Italian grinders in my day it is my personal most ordered sandwich, and oh my gosh this is by far the best I’ve had in many years, I swear they have the best pickles in the area as well!!! (At a very affordable price I might add!!) Give this place a try and you won’t be let down, coming here more often!!!“

“Customer Service: 5Cleanliness: 5Affordability: 5Quality: 5We stopped by this Caribou Coffee shop location last weekend, while we were visiting the Minneapolis area. We noticed that they are many location of this Coffee franchise in the local area, so we wanted to see what everyone is raving about.Upon entering the Coffee shop, I was quickly greeted by a friendly staff. The menu offers many options for everyone, but we just ordered two speciality coffees. The coffees we had were very favorable, and not to strong. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered, and I'm sure that we will return for another visit soon.“

“The most understanding team! They work hard, they don't talk down to customers. No matter how annoying your request may be - they go above and beyond to make it for you with a smile on their face. They remember my drinks every time I show up. This is one of my top 3 caribous. Thank you all!“

“Don't let the hostess/waitress throw you off. I was glad I knew what to expect from other reviews. Mia greeted us with a scowl and tossed a couple menus on a far corner table for us...but after that, she was perfectly personable and no further complaints about her. Not sure why she doesn't greet customers with a smile, but it didn't affect the service. The food is good, though the "giant sized English muffins" are anything but. They are just normal sized English muffins and not sure why they are billed as "giant sized". The potatoes are spicy with pepper but very tasty and oily. We did enjoy our meals and the prices very reasonable. Now that we know Mia is all bark and no bite, we'll definitely be back!“

“Loved the shop and the shake! Visited here for the first time last Wednesday and I haven't been able to keep that key lime pie shake off of my mind!! I have visited shake shops all over the cities and this is easily one of my tops! Planning on making this my new Wednesday spot. Thank you for the phenomenal shake ❤“

“This cute general store is well kept and chock full of goodies. The staff was very welcoming and ready to assist. It was fun to browse the items for sale and to see the historical photos hanging around the store. I ended up buying a Sebastian Joe's ice cream sandwich, but they had plenty of ice cream treats and offered cones of SJ's flavors. In addition they had a nice selection of beverages and snacks. Perfect for a pre- or post-bike ride refuel! They also have a nice porch and back seating area that is enclosed or you can snack at the park across the way.The building has a small lot that allows for 30 minute parking. It also has bike racks available making it super convenient.“

“I have to admit that this coffee shop is more fun because my dad knows half of the people working and drinking coffee here. That said, you couldn't find a more ideal location or friendlier baristas. I frequently sit outside when I'm visiting Wayzata, jawing with the kind of exceptional older men you can only find here. Many of them are retired from interesting careers, but what they really like doing is ribbing each other and placing bets (for a cup of coffee) on who will win the latest golf tournament. Oh yeah, and the coffee is good. They also have some small sandwiches and pastries. I always order herbal tea, but what I'm really paying for is the lake view and the conversation. Long live the Caribou!“
