“I usually grab a coffee and a treat for my daughter before we begin our target shopping. Past couple times their espresso machine has been down <sobs quietly>, so I've chosen iced decaf coffee instead. Staff is friendly too.- I would recommend this store having a decaf cold brew on hand because hot decaf on ice isn't the tastiest.“

“My absolute go to for coffee in the twin cities. So many reasons to support this business!“

“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!“

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“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!!“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“The coffee here is amazing!
I am a cold coffee person even in the winter when I visit.
Hot cocoa is good if you can't handle cold coffee in winter.
Caribou Coffee is a must stop treat whenever I am in Minnesota!
Depending on the location service is different.
They also close very early.“

“I love this location. Always a steady line of people coming through. The service is really great, and you can tell they have a great rapport with their regulars. Can be a little slow to get your drink so I don’t recommend if you’re in a rush. The chia pudding is made in house and came with the freshest blueberries. I like to get the Fogwood special when I come here which is a tea latte. Plenty of tables with outlets.“

“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.“

“The two people working at the time were great -- very pleasant and professional. I was greeted right away with a smile and asked if I had an account, which I did.

The shop was very quiet -- I must've come at time in the afternoon there is a lull, because it's usually pretty busy, but not too busy. I definitely felt I was getting their full attention!

Allover great experience!“

“Very comfortable environment! Folks that work there are excellent with customers, they are kind, attentive and you can tell they want to be there, too.“

“Great coffee! I typically go for drip coffee but so much stuff on brew these days tastes like burned cigarette butts (thanks, *bucks ?). Not here! Medium roast drip was freshly made and perfect. Treats and food look great, but didn’t try anything. Place is super clean and bright, and staff was genuinely friendly with everyone. Will def be back.“

“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.“

“I needed a great cup of coffee on a cold rainy afternoon & stopped into Caribou where I know the coffee is always perfect. Never a disappointment. Greeted with a smile and fun time guessing the trivia question of the day. Always wonderful at caribou!“

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“This Caribou, in particular, has THE MOST ELITE staff. They are extremely outgoing, they anticipate needs of customers, they are friendly, masterfully managed and they remember you. Outstanding, way to go Fairview Caribou! And no, I don't work there and neither does anyone that I know....Just a customer“

“I stopped to purchase a bag of beans. The staff person was delightful, friendly, efficient and took care to make sure that I really wanted the decaf that I had selected. The labeling is somewhat subtle and they made sure that i knew that it was decaf. I really appreciate that attention to detail.“

“The best coffee I have ever had! Although the don’t have a special coffee I Ike, the make it for me. The owners will make it up when I walk up. Small family business. 💕“

“First time and it was delicious“

“Starbucks made a big wrong move opening next to Caribou. Specially, the one in Lino Lakes that one is the most premium Caribou I have ever been to. They’re always busy lines of cars to the drive-through. Also, Caribou knows how to hire quality beautiful women compared to Starbucks The people at Caribou move like they took a 10 shot espresso but with a smile wow I love going to Caribou plus it always looks slow every time I pass Starbucks to go to Caribou“

“On my way to work, I stop by the Roseville - Tower Glen Caribou almost every morning, and they never disappoint! Ordering ahead is a breeze; my drink is always ready when I walk in. The temperature is perfect every time, and the taste is consistently spot on. The staff is friendly and efficient, making my mornings so much smoother. If you’re looking for a reliable and delicious coffee stop, this Caribou is the place to go!“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Love the employees at this location. They make their drinks with love. No bad shots. No bitter drinks. Everything well stirred. Food is well stocked so you can get your favorite pastry at 6am or 6pm. Restrooms always clean and the place has a welcoming vibe. REALLY WELL MANAGED. Bravo Caribou! 👏“

“I really like this Caribou, which I have used for remote work recently. The staff is nice and they have mint tea and other non-coffee options which I like (too late in day for coffee). I just wish the food options were wider, including for customers who need to keep gluten-free. Also, the restrooms could be cleaner. Thanks.“

“This location is large and has a number of spread out seating areas. You can find a place to have a bit of privacy. It even has a type of a meeting room directly in the back. Plenty of attached parking. It was tidy and had friendly staff and well maintained restrooms.

Parking: Large attached lot“
