34 Best Coffee Shops near Ramsey

“It’s time I write this review, as this is the best Caribou Coffee I’ve ever tried. This is coming from a previous Caribou hater. This location has such amazing staff, I have yet to get somebody not great. They all smile, they’re all friendly and most importantly they get your order right. I order a caramel crafted press with a shot of espresso and extra carmel every time, and every time that they hand it to me I have tears in my eyes from joy. It’s always the perfect color and it tastes so so good, no other Caribou makes their crafted press this perfect. I wish Caribou Coffee gave out awards to their locations because this location would win it!!“

“This is one of my favorite Caribou stores.
The servers are always very friendly and do a nice job making the beverages.
I was really impressed with Pedro when I went through the drive-up the other day. He went above and beyond to exchange my drink (my fault), was so friendly and even helped me out with needing the correct bills for an upcoming appointment that I was running late for. I really appreciated his kindness.“

“We love going to The Edge for our morning coffee! The staff is always super friendly and full of energy. I’m so happy to have a great local coffee shop to support.“

“I had such a great experience at Compassion Coffee. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy. The staff were friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. My drink was made perfectly and tasted great. It’s the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and stay for a bit. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or meeting a friend, this spot really delivers. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Love Avant Garden! Add it to your places to visit when you are DTA!“

“I've been here many times and really enjoy the coffee, treats and overall vibe. I noticed many reviews note how clean it is in the various seating areas. I didn't experience that in my most recent visit. There are cobwebs in the plants, the floor needs to be swept and the couches had crumbs all over them. I think more attention needs to be paid to general tidying in the cafe seating. People sit there and may clean up but the customers don't work there. Crumbs happen, people leave straw wrappers and coffee leaves rings on side tables. I was sitting there for over an hour and a half, in that time I didn't see a single staff member come out to wipe anything or pickup the tray that was sitting on the trash bin the whole time. I gotta be honest, it gave me the ick. Is there a new automated air freshener being used? There was also an intermittent and overpowering waft of floral scent every once in a while. Didn't go with the coffee house vibe at all. I hope my next visit is better.“

“First time ever stopping. The staff at the cash register recommended their Strawberry Rhubarb Iced coffee. As I told them I was having a hard time choosing whether to go out of my comfort zone to try it or get my regular mocha 😅 Let me tell you it was FANTASTIC, the best coffee i’ve ever had honestly. Even told me if I wasn’t a huge fan they’d make me something else! 10/10 experience. I never write reviews but this place definitely deserves it! Will be back.“

“Fantastic customer service, coffee, tea, soup and sandwich. The world needs more places like this. A piece of heaven in Elk River. Thank you for a great experience as I stepped out of the holiday rush to get a couple of things and recharge.“

“Caribou’s Sparkling Peach Mango Energy Drink is the perfect pick-me-up. It’s light, crisp, and incredibly refreshing with just the right amount of fizz. The peach and mango flavors blend together perfectly—fruity without being overly sweet or artificial. The sparkling finish makes it feel more like a refreshing treat than a typical energy drink, and it gives a smooth boost without feeling heavy. If you’re looking for something bright, tropical, and energizing, this is definitely worth trying“

“10/10
Edit: Thank you for the very kind response to my review Caribou!
A few things that really stood out for me was:
• The amazing coffee + delicious food (multiple vegan options and options for dietary restrictions)
• The very kind staff and fast service
• The perfect cozy and welcoming atmosphere
• It's never overcrowded
• It's the perfect place to sit, relax, and enjoy delicious coffee
• I have extreme social anxiety, so I can't relax easily in public spaces but I can relax completely at Caribou!
• It's never too loud there and is the perfect volume, so you can talk easily without straining to hear and it's never too overwhelming!
Thank you so much Caribou!“

“I stop at this Caribou Coffee every single morning, and the customer service is honestly top tier. The staff recognizes my vehicle the moment I pull into the drive thru and already knows who I am and what I’m ordering before I even say a word. That kind of consistency and friendliness makes such a difference in starting my day.

Not only is the service amazing, but the drinks are always made perfectly and the food is delicious every time. You can really tell the team cares about their customers and takes pride in what they do. Easily one of the best coffee shop experiences around!“

“When I first moved here I wasn’t familiar with the menu at all, but the staff were super friendly and helped me pick out the perfect drink option for me! I really appreciated the assistance and eased my “new place” anxiety without feeling pressured or rushed for my order. It’s been a year now since my first purchase with them, and I still feel just as welcome when I walk through the door!“

“I went through the Caribou Coffee drive‑thru and had a genuinely smooth experience. The service was quick, my order was taken clearly, and the coffee came out exactly the way I asked for it. The drink tasted fresh and balanced, and the whole stop felt efficient without feeling rushed.

It was a simple visit, but a good one — reliable coffee, accurate order, and fast drive‑thru service.“

“My favorite drink is the large iced chocolate mousse with an extra shot. My daughter likes to try something new every time. Love their collection of vintage clothes and local artists as well! Love small businesses supporting each other! Head to Metta Coffee when you are DTA!“

“Wonderful experience. Customer service was professional. That super friendly girl at the window speaks French :-)“

“Best Coffee ALWAYS. Has a great soothing atmosphere, great decorations and a convenient location“

“I go to many Caribou's, and I always ask for the same thing. I always ask for less ice, and 95% of the time, they give me a full glass of ice. If I could, I would ask for no ice on my order ahead app. This location gave me very little ice, and I was very happy.“

“i never knew joy until coming to this caribou location ❤️ not only are the drinks made perfectly every time, the staff is so incredibly kind & never fail to put a smile on my face!! (at 6 in the morning at that.. I mean seriously how can people be that fantabulous so early in the morning??) extra shout out to both Madison & Alec, they are sooooo awesome sauce love u guys and i hope u both get a million dollar raise + your favorite song plays whenever you need it most. Mwah“

“great service . we all enjoyed our drinks“

“I enjoy my lattes but I had to have them
Make me another .. why?????
The coffee/espresso amount you put in beverages is ridiculous for the price we all pay

Could not taste any coffee and the color was so light it was all milk .. Starbucks is my go to lately!

Perks are not the best either
Just being truthful“

“I have been going to visit Jess at nutrition haven for almost 3 years now!!!!! The shakes are amazing and they do work for me to slim down but mostly feeling so much better! My mind is clearer and I’m able to make it through the day without the fatigue I used to have. More than a shake shop!“

“Great friendly staff and good coffee and sandwiches! This is my favorite coffee place to meet my friends.“

“Golden fruit tea 🎉 Wildly brown sugar 🎉“

“Our church group has a men's breakfast and coffee one day each week at this Caribou Coffee area. The service has always been outstanding and everyone I have ever encountered has been very friendly. The coffee and food has always been excellent.“

“I actually go out of my way to visit this specific store. The staff here are great. I have never gotten a wrong order. When there is an issue (no bubble straws) they own it and the apology is sincere. I will continue to visit this store daily even though I pass two others on my commute. P.S. very happy to get a bubble straw today!!!“

“Casey over in the lobby was by far the kindest caribou worker I have EVER came across. Her customer service was exceptional. She made things easy because she WANTED to. She enjoyed customer service beyond the normal amount. And I have had caribou for years and there is nothing that can compare to Casey’s service. You can see she loves this place and makes it worth every visit. I am always positive and trying to spread it. But she left me speechless and handles the team so uplifted in happiness! I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. This is my new caribou!“

“By far the best Starbucks in the vicinity. They're always friendly and happy to make your coffee. I've never had a drink that wasn't made right and I buy a lot of white chocolate mochas. The new location in Albertville is way closer but the service is horrible so I'll drive the 8 miles and be happy when I leave.“

“Went to this Caribou today on 7.24.24 and the man helping us ended up getting the wrong size coffee from his team and generously offered the wrong sized drink as they prepared the right size drink. Thank you! Wish yall were in Texas other then at Dallas DFW airport.“

“Emma and Lillian were absolutely amazing. We prefer Caribou over Starbucks but they completely turned our experience around. They were patient with us and helped us figure out what we'd like. The drinks they made were perfect! We will definitely be coming back to Starbucks, thanks to Emma and Lillian.“

“Good drinks. They were rather busy whrn i came in to get my drinks i ordered on the mobile app. They seemed to be in a rush and forgot a straw for one of my drinks. They also didnt ask if i wanted a drink carrier for two drinks and me being one person carrying both was kind of annoying. Other than that, the taste of the drinks overall was decent. I would recommend this location. Baristas were genuinely friendly. Could have picked up on speed a bit as it took quite a bit of time to receive my order.“

“Emilee is always very nice and pleasant at this Starbucks (at Target Otsego). She is very helpful to all clients. My daughters and I particularly love coming to this Starbucks because of how pleasant she is. Keep the good service flag flying Emilee, you are a star☺️“

“great customer service. always happy to see me in the morning and remember my name and coffee!“

“So excited to have a Starbucks on my way to work! Staff is always friendly and efficient. Most of my drinks have been great so far. My only complaint is they haven’t nailed the chocolate cream cold foam yet. The couple times I’ve ordered it, it’s much more bitter and the texture and color aren’t quite right. I know this is a new location so I’m sure they’ll figure it out in time, but maybe don’t order that for a bit, til they work it out. Everything else has been great!“

“Shout out to the lovely woman who worked the drive through this morning. Ordered a mocha for my hubby and didn’t get the chocolate covered bean - which I always steal from him. When she saw my disappointment she gave me a whole bunch of chocolate beans. Totally made my day! Thank you for going above and beyond to mark a customer smile!“
