Coffee Shops near St. Michael

“In coffee shops where dawn breaks slow,
A furry form with skill does glow,
Caribou baristas, strong and bright,
Craft lattes with antler-tipped delight.

Their hooves, a staccato beat on floor,
As they concoct brews galore,
With eyes that shine like northern lights,
They pour their hearts into morning's first delights.

Their fur, a softness to behold,
In hues of brown, like coffee's gold,
As they froth milk with gentle care,
And sprinkle cinnamon with flair.

Oh, caribou baristas, noble and true,
Your passion for coffee, we hold anew,
In every cup, a story's told,
Of wilderness and warmth, young and old.

May your antlers forever grow,
And your coffee beans, always be in tow,
For in the morning's earliest light,
You bring joy to our busy sight.“

“Absolutely love this coffee shop! Has a very comfortable setting and beautiful patio! Didnt think I would say this but the Dr.'ed up coffee drink is the best! If you haven't tried I would recommend! Very refreshing! Little of a wait but well worth it!“

“It's been almost 3 years since I moved out of state and I still think about the fries at the St Michael McDonalds. In fact, all the food at this location was always fresh and amazing. I hope whoever was running that place back then is still running it now, because they were killing it so hard I'm still thinking of their restaurant years later.“

“Coffee is so good and the atmosphere is so cute and cozy! Worth the stray from your normal Caribou/Starbucks drink. 🖤“

“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.“

“Always a great experience and delicious coffee everytime I'm there, no matter if I'm just in for drip coffee or something special! I'm so glad we have this coffee shop in town. I stopped in today not quite sure what I wanted, described what I was looking for and they came up with a delicious drink that was exactly what I was hoping for! Amazing customer service, even when I was high maintenance today!“

“Visited my local Caribou yesterday to pick up a Thank You gift card. Superstar, Owen; my favorite employee rang me up. Go in and chat with him. He is a wonderful young man! 🤩“

“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!“

“I want to commend this caribou coffee! All week I went there and my cappucino was made perfect (with the correct amount of espresso 👌), and service was so fast in the drivethru!!! Honestly you just don't see this at most Caribou's anymore. I will continue supporting THIS Caribou!!“

“Grace was so wonderful in the drive through! The customer in front CLEARLY needed their coffee and started driving away without it! Grace was well graceful in helping the customer out while being friendly! And they separated the lemon loaf from the hot sandwich“

“I never swing through this Caribou but did this morning on the way down to the cities. The man working when I went through the drive through was so pleasant and had me leaving with a big smile. I think his name tag said Alex or Alec? Best customer service!“

“I have always been happy with the barista's at this Caribou. They are super friendly, take their job seriously, and answer any and all inquiries I have.

Parking: Large parking lot for various businesses. I have never found parking difficult in this area.“

“Best donuts and coffee!! Super friendly staff - every time!“

“Steve Ortloff and his staff catered a meal recently for 50+ guests for my mother-in-law's 100th birthday party. They were accommodating, professional and personable. The food was plentiful, presented nicely and was very, very good, especially the broasted chicken. We heard many wonderful compliments throughout the party. We also liked that the staff came in the night before and set up all the tables with tablecloths, white plates and silverware. We were impressed. You can't go wrong with choosing GreenRock for catering.“

“The coffee shop was very clean and had a warm welcoming vibe. The bathrooms could’ve used a restock, it was 8am, so it was a little surprising to see toilet paper empty.

The staff were friendly and helpful, but unsure about the products (like sizes)

I ordered a caramel cold press, this was a first for me. It was very smooth and creamy, but lacked the caramel flavor. I also ordered the waffle sandwich, the actual waffle was a bit dry but overall great flavor and a perfect small bite.

My husband ordered the campfire blended, he ordered the XL and regretted it with how big it was, but said it was really good and not overly sweet but not a lot of coffee flavor.

Plenty of seating both inside and out.“

“I love all the people that work here! All do a fantastic job and are so friendly! The best location around. I’ve gone to other caribous in the area and they have messed up my orders multiple times… so I pretty much only go to this location!“

“Ordered 4 different drinks, super friendly staff and efficient and made sure I knew what drink was what.
Also, Previous Visit was there And ordered 3 different drinks and the guy said I like this I like to talk with people ...excellent staff“

“Great service, very friendly people. Didn’t feel rushed and answered all our questions. Smoothies and coffee were delicious and the food is far and away better than any other coffee place I have been to. Definitely recommend!“

“Best Starbucks I’ve been to. The girls are always friendly and happy to be there. I’m really appreciative of that because at some locations, they have attitudes.
Very clean inside, drive thru moves super fast.
I’m super happy with the quality of the food and drinks, it’s always consistent at this location. Will be coming here from now on.“

“I did a mobile order with an ASAP timing. As soon as I got there, my drink and sandwich were done! My sandwich was hot and cooked perfectly, and my drink was made very well with all the specifications I had put on there! This is my favorite location in the Saint Michael area!“

“This place, specifically Jess, always makes my drinks superb. The atmosphere is blacked and busy for a reason, they know how to bring people back for more. My only complaint is when you go in towards close the workers stand around and talk instead of helping you which i get being young but when there people in line, maybe don’t do that.

Dietary restrictions: I have to have 0 caffeine and they always make me decaf drinks that taste like coffee but aren’t going to make me sick. Everywhere else refuses and offers me “cream based” which i do not want.“

“It was super busy when I was there earlier this morning, but I must say that I’m super impressed with the manager on duty this morning. With how crazy it was this morning and one in training and one still new and asking questions, I loved watching how she was handling things and staying patient with them. This is the main Starbucks I go to because it’s convenient and I’m always pleased. Thank you!“

“I just wanted you to know that we had the best experience due to your amazing employee Blake. In the last month Blake has served us twice. Both times your employee was outstanding with customer service! Any employer would be happy to have Blake working for them. Thanks for hiring a great employee that could present some choices and make my kids & I laugh. Blake has an amazing personality and makes us want to come to your store again!!! Thank you 😊“
