“Great coffee, nice atmosphere. Seating is somewhat limited; it gets crowded.“

“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!“

“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 am so glad this is not near my house, it is dangerously delicious, this place is amazing, from smoothie bowls to crapes, cofee to pastries, atmosphere is amazing, wether you sit inside or enjoy the beautiful MN weather.

Vegetarian options: They can basically customize the crepes and anything on the menu“

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“

“They made our day! If I could give ten stars I would“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“Loved Mocha and Cortado !“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I would like to give praise to Jeff. He makes the best Turtle mocha ever. I’ve been coming to this location for over 2 years every day because he is a coffee genius . Today I was in and he didn’t make my drink and immediately I knew the difference.“

“Every time I’ve come into this location the employees are amazing! They are helpful, they know their menu, and they are so patient. Especially the really good looking lady manager working the drive thru this morning! I’ll go out of my way to get my coffee at this location from now on.“

“Christopher does an amazing job managing this Caribou located in the Securian financial building in Saint Paul's skyway system. Their friendly staff will remember your name with a smile. Once a regular, I no longer frequent their MSP Caribou due to the change of their loyalty program. With nearly 7,000 points, Caribou devalued my point value. No Bueno.

Parking: Horrible. They are located in the skyway system of downtown Saint Paul.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, via elevator.“

“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!)“

“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“

“Great drip, espresso sodas, and lattes. I ordered 8 drinks as their second customer for the morning and they were very friendly. Everyone I bought drinks for loved them. I was disappointed that I could not stay longer and do some reading/ working since the space was so nice. I will be back next time I am in MSP.“

“99/100 I have an excellent experience at any Caribou, but 100/100 I have an amazing experience at this Caribou! It is my favorite. I'm not sure what makes it so special, but I've been coming here for over 15 years and it's always wonderful.“

“I made my trip light this time again my seasonal Tumblr I have so many more at home but this one let me tell you guys, they're spring line, is on fire! This Tumblr on top of other tumblers and mugs that they have are so beyond cute and eye catching and everybody's going to want to take them to make sure you keep an eye on them. Run down to your local Caribou don't think just grab cause you know you want it!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 stopped in here to catch up with a friend and we sat outside in the sun sipping on a very tasty black coffee. I haven't had Caribou coffee in years as it generally had a strange bitterness to it. Not anymore! I'll be back. It has a very quirky drive up. Quirky but efficient.“

“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!“

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

“We stopped in with our Brazilian exchange student, and he loved it! He grabbed some snacks to take home and ordered lunch for us. Everything was fresh and delicious. Customer service was excellent, store is very clean, free parking right outside.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I come to this location EVERY morning sometimes multiple times a day.... as long as I am there when EMMA is working I know my drink will be made correctly I give her my perks number and she knows exactly what I get. I adore her for that reason I will always go back!!! THANK YOU EMMA FOR THE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE now I need a couple of girls there to pick up on your skills ?“

“I have experienced and loved this place. All the food and drinks here are delicious. The space is clean. Will come back to support.“

“We took to go coffee. We also tried hot chocolate from a different Caribou location. Love the fact that they actually have a dark chocolate hot chocolate option ( milk and white are other two ). Both Mocha and Hot chocolates are must try ! I did not tried any food items.“

“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"“

“I recently visited Starbucks Coffee and had a delightful coffee experience. The quick service at the counter ensured that my order was promptly taken and prepared to perfection. The staff members were friendly and provided excellent customer service, creating a positive and welcoming environment. I opted for their medium roast coffee, and it was nothing short of amazing. The rich and robust flavors of the coffee truly satisfied my taste buds. Overall, my visit to Starbucks Coffee was fantastic, and I highly recommend it for those seeking a quick, friendly, and exceptional coffee experience“

“The team here gets a shout out. They got slammed by a big group of people while I was working. The staff was responsive, kind, and positive and took care of everyone. They ran out of some stuff when I reorder but gave a rockstar recommendation for an Americano as an alternative.“

“I Come To This Location Daily To Njoy My " Liquid Gold", & Today I Noticed How Professional The Manager Trasie Handled A VERY Rude Customer..I Was Behind The Customer In Line, & The Customer Was Literally Throwing The Money At Her! How Rude!! Couldn't Take A Moment, & Nicely Place It In Her Hand Like A Civilized Human Being.. Trasie Handled This Client Beautifully, Instead Of Getting Frustrated, She Smiled & Finished The Transaction..Trasie Deserves Special Recognition.Beautifully Handled..?“

“I hope all the employees are more friendly .need more customer service every time I walk in, they make me feel like don't come in. We don't want yours money. 😞that why we stop buying their bakery.“

“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!!!!“

“Pretty fast drive thru service. Only 4 stars because I asked to get my drink made in my reusable cup and was told it can be transferred over, which I’ve been able to get at every other Caribou around the area with no problem, for it to just be given to me in the regular cup without trying to take it back.“
