“always great service. excellent coffee. yummy Pastries. Great customers. the more people in line waiting the more smiles you see.“

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

“Super cute, great decor, lovely staff, 10/10 would go again“

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰“

“I got diagnosed with high cholesterol when my first child was born. I tried the medications and it lowered it slightly but the doc told me I still had to take the medicine. 3 years later I discovered Dr MOMOH & began studying his lectures. I no longer have high cholesterol, no longer take pharmaceuticals and I lost 60 lbs. What he is saying works if you listen. He tells you constantly it's easy/simple. It is in hindsight, but when you going through it, things can get tedious.“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“I love this place!!! The service is amazing, the staff is happy, the pastries are to die for, and the coffee is absolutely fabulous!!! I've had quite a few of Luminarys specialty coffee drinks and all have been exquisite. Today, I noticed a new iced peanut butter chocolate coffee beverage, and had to give it a try. I was pretty sure this wasn't going to be my favorite drink and I was so so wrong. I'm amazed once again and the iced peanut butter chocolate coffee mix might be my new fave!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“I’m a huge fan of this coffee shoppe. The culture of friendship, hospitality, and delicious coffee is astounding. I’m here every day!“

“Loved Mocha and Cortado !“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“Cute, cozy neighborhood staple in a trendy, busy part of Saint Paul. They have an expansive breakfast menu with lots of sweet and savory options, and their drink menu is impressive as well! I tried the ube matcha iced latte, which was delicious, sweet, and smooth. Additionally (not pictured) I got their seasonal pumpkin smoothie which was sweet, nourishing, and had interesting fresh ingredients (sweetened with fresh dates!) Their lemon ricotta pancakes are huge, served with a generous amount of lemon curd and impeccably fresh blueberries. The texture is great: soft but not underdone, fluffy without being too heavy. We came at a busy time, so while drinks came out quickly, the food was a tad slow. All in all, though, I'd love to come back and try more menu options!“

“Fantastic mocha. For a mocha, this had depths of flavor and the coffee was a delicious compliment to the chocolate. This place was busy on a Sunday morning. But was worth the little bit of a wait. There is very little seating, so I grabbed my coffee to go.“

“Fantastic coffee, incredible apple fritters. Staff were kind and attentive. They have a large coffee roasting oven behind the counter, so the entire place smells heavenly. Only one bathroom though, so don’t drink your coffee too quick.

Will be back, and likely will be purchasing coffee beans from them in the future.“

“This is my favorite caribou in all the franchises and may be my favorite cafe on grand avenue! And it’s all because of the wonderful staff at this location :) Everyone is kind and engaging, it feels like a community experience walking in, plus I get a great dark chocolate mocha and a bit of tasty breakfast.“

“I really love this location but the young lady who was making my cooler got kinda snappy with the cashier because I wanted extra ice.
Golden blonde hair with pony tail and hair band 5’3 - 5’5 thin build caucasian
Female. Other than that perfect“

“Stopped in for coffee and was not disappointed. This place is bright and clean when you walk in the door. The smell of the coffee hits you when you open the door, it is amazing.

My order was taken quickly and we sat down to wait. Someone waiting for their drink grabbed mine when it was placed in the counter and walked out with it. The staff quickly made another and we had our drinks.

The drinks were delicious, service was great, the prices are good. I really like Caribou Coffee and this location is exceptional.“

“This is an update. Caribou Coffee on 7th is a very nice place for coffee. It is a small place but is very comfortable with great views of the hills above 7th. They have wifi, I use my laptop and I see others do the same. They have all kinds of coffee drinks and teas too! They have sandwiches, as well as pastries and other baked goods to go with your coffee. They have a free parking lot. They have a drive-through for ordering. Hours are 5:30am to 7pm,on weekdays. 6am to 7pm on weekends I think it is one of the better Caribou Coffee stores around! By the way the wifi is free! Great employees here as well!! A Clean restroom too! To conclude, I really like their expresso it is very good. The drive-through is a big plus here! On warm days they have an outside sitting area.Make your way to this Caribou you will enjoy it! P.S. this establishment handicap accessible!!“

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

“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“

“The staff were so incredibly helpful with recommendations and letting me try samples. I'd highly recommend checking this place out, the selection was fantastic.“

“CJ, Brenda, and Crystal gave the absolute best customer service today. I tried a new drink and it wasn't for me. They were kind enough to not charge me for a new drink, and also remade the new drink after I forgot to mention a modification.
People like this are why I keep going back to Caribou. (Their drinks are also great!)“

“Great spot to sit and take a beat. The coffee is fantastic. The seasonal specials are delicious. They have a solid selection of sweet and savory pastries. If you’re feeling decadent, get a Carmella with oat milk and slowly melt into a puddle!“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“Savannah is the best! She helped me out when an attempted second date 🕺🏿took a turn for the crazy & kept me safe from a thief who likes to steal cups & spoons. (Inside joke here, but true). Her quick thinking did the trick & I am eternally grateful! Thank you Savannah for saving the day and for the tea☕️. It was especially wonderful!!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“It was okay…. Kinda disappointed with the lack of friendliness from staff. I came in just to get a coffee with my 2 year old. We didn’t attempt to see the cats or anything- I knew she was too little. Just looked in the windows while we waited. One employee completely ignored us. The one behind the counter did the bare minimum…. My coffee took a LONG time and we were the only ones in the store. We left right away. Again I did NOT let my toddler run rampant. She was very well behaved. Coffee wasn’t very hot. I’d still recommend if you were going for the cats. But unfortunately not for much else“

“A convenient array of staples for an excellent price and the owner is super nice and cares so much about the community.“

“Thank you so much for your generous donation of coffee at the Woodbury Memorial Day event!! We had many volunteers and guests thank us for adding coffee at the event, and we made sure to tell every one of them that it was your generosity that provided it! Y'all are awesome!!“

“I visited this Caribou as a meeting place to visit family. The employees were friendly, polite, and hard working. The drinks were made perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing.
This is the second biggest Caribou I’ve ever been to. There was a large amount of seating options, which was perfect for the 6 of us. There were also several other groups of people, some visiting, some studying.
Everywhere I looked was a treat for the eyes. Cute little fake plants, beautiful large photography on the walls, little homey decor pieces, comfy seating, I loved it!
If I’m ever back in the area, I’d love to come back again!“

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

“Friendly. Clean. Beautiful outdoor seating. Limited indoor seating. Would be a great spot to work remotely. Reasonably quiet. Met a friend meeting half-way in Woodbury. Easy access. Not busy, so good for us. Had a large Rasberry Chamomile Hot Tea.“

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

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

“Love it here!! I’ve been coming for a little while now and I always score on days Jaden is working! She is super friendly, always remembers my order and always gets me to buy some sugar I don’t need haha! Great coffee and great food I will always be back.“

“They remade the drink to correct size no issue

Vegetarian options: Eggs, muffins bagels cake , chocolate

Parking: Mendota Heights Minnesota, parking available on street or nearby lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: From car to entrance wheelchair access.“

“1.) Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.2.) DRIVE THRUS:. Why can’t Caribou workers except credit cards handed to them (like in their stores) instead of using the ANNOYING credit card machine on a long pole? Other fast food restaurants don’t use them. I mention this to the Caribou cashiers and they said other customers also don’t like using them.“

“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!!!!“

“got a old school vanilla cone they got 4 different cones variety of ice cream cool laid back place“

“I came by Starbucks to try out the salted coffee recipe I found online, it wasn't perfect but acceptable ✨✨ sharing the recipe in photo if you also want to try
Once in a while treat because I don't want to break my wallet 😞“

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

“This has to be one of my favorite Caribou shops hands down! I actually had a bad experience at this location years ago and avoided it, but I am really glad I gave it a redo because the staff there is awesome which is why I keep coming back now!“

“Wonderful spot close to Mississippi Market in St. Paul. There is a beautiful small park (when weather permits) to sit outside. The building itself is old and very Swedish even though the history of Swede Hollow is long-past, lots of "hygge" inside (yes I know it's Danish but they did own the country, kinda). A few tables downstairs, one cozy one on the mezzanine, 6-7 upstairs and a neat "conference room" with a very comfy cozy reading armchair. Coffee really good (Americano, Cubano), great selection, had a studenty-feel, but we are close to MSU. The food looked very good. One of my new favourite "Third Places"“

“The 3 people working there today (9-2-25) were so friendly! I wanted to try something new and they took the time to ask what kinda of drinks I get and what flavors I like. They surprised me with an apple high rise and it was DELICIOUS! I totally recommend.“

“Alex and Jojo are an absolute delight! I came thru the drive thru just before closing time and someone was ahead of me ..ordered at least 5 drinks and they were still pleasant as could be and smiling. At the end of a long Sunday of Memorial weekend .that was amazing customer service!“

“I hadn't been at caribou in a year or more and so needless to say I forgot the lingo foe the drink wanted. She gwve me a couple minutes to describe it then said ohh. Yes you want a chocolate cooler! I also got a blueberry muffin. It was moist and tasty.

The ambiance was great. It has a drove through as well.“
