Coffee Shops near Shorewood

“Normal box Starbucks, nothing too beautiful insideThe real downside of this Starbucks is the word drive through. If you go at a busy time cars are piled up in random places making it a jumbled mess of cars. Really annoying overall.The person taking my order here also spent more time talking to their friend than finishing my order. Ended up sitting in the drive through for 2 minutes staring at my already made drink inside the window. Waiting eagerly to be given to me. Yet neglected.Overall fine experience. A mid Starbucks overall.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The owner is AMAZING and the coffee was better than any of the big chain coffee!“

“Beyond impressed with the phenomenal customer service at CTC! The staff is so kind & incredibly helpful. I love trying their sandwiches, wraps and of course coffee too. Everything has been so great.“

“Probably one of the few coffee shops that offered some sort of refillable drip coffee option. I was in a hurry but I plan on returning to take advantage of that. Plenty of seating and comfy atmosphere that would be excellent to bring a book or a laptop for some quiet work time!“

“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 have been visiting this location for about a year now and I would gladly go out of my way (I live in St Paul) to stop here for a drink. Since day 1, the baristas have been AMAZING! Mitch and Faith treat me like an old friend. It's a great addition to my daily caffeine.
I typically order ahead of time in the app and I have never needed to wait for my order to be finished regardless of how busy they are. (I can't say the same for other locations.) In addition, they breeze through lines in a matter of minutes. It's crazy how well this team performs.
Please give them some major recognition because this Caribou should be setting the standard for all others!“

“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!“

“It’s 2025 and Over $6 for a small latte. I think I need to buy my own machine.
It used to be affordable but slowly becoming an occasional treat for many people. I want to tip but I sure hope this extra dollar for each latte is going back to employee raises and healthcare“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Living in central Minnesota makes it hard to find a place that isn’t commercial or generic. Sometimes you want to go somewhere for the atmosphere. Smith’s Coffee and Cafe is that perfect hidden gem that gives off those warm and quaint coastal vibes. This is exactly where I wanted to be on my day off to read my book.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Shakopee - 17th Ave, by Target! The team was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making my visit truly enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, I felt valued and appreciated as a customer. The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. The staff went above and beyond to assist me and ensure I found exactly what I needed.

It’s rare to find such exceptional customer service, and this location exceeded my expectations in every way. Thank you for making my day brighter! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this location to others!“

“I recently moved to the area about 1 year ago and I bounced around different Herbalife shake/tea places in the maple grove/twin cities and even south metro during that time. It wasn’t until a couple months ago I came back to Restore after visiting once or twice. Kristen, the owner I believe had remembered exactly what I ordered the last time and recommended something similar (which is now my favorite!). Overall great experiences at this place every time. It is now my go to & I’ll even drive the opposite way to come here before going towards the city for work.“

“Caribou d/c their apple cider which is my partner's favorite since he can't have caffeine. It's disappointing to say the least. The atmosphere wasn't great because of people thinking they need t he volume in their vehicle so loud it hurts others' ear drums. The people working at our Caribou are fantastic!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This Dunn Brothers does not compare to the one in St. Michael. They can not make sugar-free mochas and food is lacking. Many young people are working here. One today was wearing an airpod while taking orders. I also had to put in my own splenda... not an issue at a normal coffee house. But when you pay $6 plus tip for a cold brew, put a Splenda in there when asked. I do like that I have seen so many dogs in and out of there, which makes me smile. Also, I love the jewelry they sell.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love the new manager here. She remembered my drinks just after a few times of me going and it's always perfect and quickly made. I'm really impressed by how she handles the line of people while maintaining a positive attitude and smile, especially since I don't think I've ever seen anyone working in the shop with her. This is my go to spot for coffee!“

“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!“

“Highlander Grog decaf is great! However their shipping is the slowest on earth! I am waiting for my order placed on Dec 1st to even ship! 20 days and counting!“

“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).“

“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.“

“One on my favorite breweries, they have great beer, friendly staff, and fun times. The brewery is very community centric, and dog friendly. There are two patios, one that is out front of the building and the other in updstairs. The upstairs patio is very quite and one the best kept secrets in Shakopee. The beers are great, the Hazy IPA is incredible and the Mexican lager is amazing. There is a reason these beers keep wining in the MN brewer's cup.“

“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.“

“So in an absolute desperate need of caffeine with a kick of mocha we set out looking for Caribou. Found it and proceeded to the drive thru where we were greeted by the most enjoyable and pleasant voice that belonged to Mitch my superhero and caffeine plug of the day. I am a drama queen who teases and messes with everyone I come in contact with. Most people are caught off guard but dear Mitch gave it right back with such ease and grace I had nothing but respect and admiration for him. He even had the foresight to offer a shot or two of extra espresso. I will from now on only be frequenting this Caribou for the simple reason I will never cheat on my dear Mitch, he is the only barista for this Minnesota Momma.“

“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.“

“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 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 ???“

“love the dragon fruit cooler and the macchiato.... anxious to try the cloud macchiato“

“The breakfast 🍳 sandwiches they had were awesome 👏“

“Just wondering what happened? In a about a week staff goes from great, engaging young people who know everyone's drinks to a bunch of well meaning confused senior citizens. We're talking a lot of people suddenly gone, maybe a couple dozen. After all, for hundreds of us, it's #ourstarbucks. Huh @vernonsbux? #vernonsbux?“
