50 Best Coffee Shops near Wayzata

“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.“

“My husband and I are in Deephaven for two weeks watching our grands and our son told us we needed to go out to breakfast at Beanhaven. He said “it’s like a little hometown cafe” so today after getting the grands off to school we did. Wow, such a cute place, delicious food and coffee and a delightful server. I had the sausage mushroom quiche with Jim’s potatoes, my husband had eggs, bacon, Jim’s potatoes and toast. Omg every thing was amazing. We will definitely be back when we’re here from Iowa 😋😋😋“

“Delicious breakfast spot! Wonderful options. Very friendly staff. ☺️“

“I ordered food and drinks for my whole family. I waited quite a while, but a nice brown haired barista helped me. I haven’t seen her there in the morning before. She assured me that they were super busy, but would help me and my family go on time. Got all of my items correctly and I was on my way.“

“Great customer service! Thanks for making a 3 year old’s day.“

“The coffee is amazing! And the staff is always so friendly!“

“We were visiting in town and wanted some good coffee. We found Edina Coffee Roasters on Google and decided to find it for real. When we arrived we found they had recently opened and were planning on having their grand opening the following week. We ordered 3 Americanos. The coffee was very good! The owner and staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The next time we are in town we will visit again! We give it 5 of 5 stars.“

“Great coffee! Best coffee prices around. Always great, friendly and fast service! Local owned family business. Can’t recommend them enough. Go check them out and you won’t be disappointed!“

“I’ve been here half a dozen times (parking is kinda difficult lately due to all the construction). I’ve brought friends here. I’ve had the best time, best coffee, and best almond croissants. Sitting outside - front or back - is always a treat. Now that my bicycle is fixed, I can come more often. Love this place!“

“Wonderful place. Not your father's coffee shop.“

“Very supportive, welcoming place to play games and make friends— really supportive of younger players, making a safe, inclusive space for “Junior Planeswalkers!”“

“I stop by Basecamp almost every day for my iced coffee, and it never disappoints. I order the same drink each time, and the quality is consistently excellent. The staff is always friendly, and the service is top-notch. Skip the big chain coffee shops support Basecamp instead!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Munkabeans is my go to morning place for meeting my neighbors on important issues!“

“I visited the cafe and cats for an hour with a friend. Great coffee and lots of snuggles with cute cats. There were playful kittens and older, snoozie seniors. A wonderful spot to meet a friend. Buy an hour’s visit and support getting felines adopted.“

“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!“

“Excellent chorizo empanadas! I can’t wait to try your other empanada flavors. My mango smoothie was great tasting too. Definitely a place I will frequent.“

“I was help this morning by a lovely lady named Jill. She was so energetic and it was nice to see a smiling face earlier than 8 AM. She helped me fiddle with my gift card and was patient with me and appreciate the excellent service. And the drink was delicious as always too. Thank you, Jill!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Dunn Bros is a favorite and I was in the area so I stopped by this one for a hit. Based on these other reviews and the neighborhood I can tell it is in a snobby area of town that needs a reality check on their expectations on probably a lot of things. Staff was pleasant. Coffee was good. Internet worked. Plenty of space. I didn’t have the food but it looked pretty standard. Its a coffee shop.“

“This spot is remarkable. Awesome third space to do some work along with incredibly delicious coffee being made by people that know about their coffee. Isaac made me a delicious Bolivian pour over that he recommended and it did not disappoint.

It is in a church which is kind of fun but the space inside is open and high ceilings so the working environment is awesome. I didn’t try the food, that’s why there is no review.

Definitely will be coming back!“

“Terrance recommended a great meal-replacement shake and tea combo. Topped it off with a shot of aloe! Healthy, fast, friendly, amazing!!!“

“I ordered 3 drinks. The person who took the order was pleasant and got my order right. The drinks were all correct and The person who delivered them got me stoppers for the cups and helped me get them in a carrier. It didn't take too long and they were busy at the time.“

“I am a frequent Pistachio latte drinker. Love their crepes! Friendly personnel :) Recommend to everyone to visit the place.“

“A fun shop with great, polite staff! The artwork adds great ambiance to the store. Bacon, tomato egg open face sandwich was tasty but all cold when brought to the table. The place was busy. It is nice place to relax.“

“My daughter and I went here for a quick Sunday morning date. Her drink came up quickly, but either my latte didn't get made or someone else took it. So I waited much longer than normal for my drink, and I had to ask for a plate for our snack even though it was clear we were staying in store. Overall, I have always had a great experience at this place and the coffee is always delicious.“

“What an amazing staple to the Hopkins community. Mocha and pumpkin butter coffee are a must try. This place support local artists and business as well. prices are more better than most corporations so choose to shop small and support this local Hopkins jem.“

“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!“

“I’ve always enjoyed stopping into Caribou for my favorite coffee and getting a little work done. It’s been a dependable spot for a change of scenery and a productive atmosphere.

Since moving, I was excited to find a Caribou near my new home—but unfortunately, the experience hasn’t been the same. While the staff are incredibly friendly and seem to enjoy their work (which I genuinely appreciate), the environment has been consistently loud and distracting.

There’s a difference between creating a cheerful workspace and overlooking the needs of customers who are studying or working. Each time I’ve visited, the volume of conversations, laughter, and joking among the staff has made it difficult to focus.

I absolutely support a fun and light-hearted workplace, but I also believe in reading the room and being mindful of those around you. After multiple visits with the same experience, I’ve decided this location isn’t the right fit for me.“

“Very friendly and helpful. Love the coffee drinks. The baked goods are fresh, and surprisingly innovative. I often see a new item that beats my expectations. My place away from home!

“We need more coffee shop inside of Government buildings and libraries. I like the location.
Good local coffee shop! Very friendly barista, he was the only one working and it got busy real quick.
Ordered brown sugar spicy latte and it was flavorful.“

“Sometimes I come here to drink coffee and I want to tell you that wonderful guys work here. They are very attentive, always greet you with a smile and when even you are sad, here you will cheer yourself up not only with nice people, but also with wonderful and tasty coffee. And it's also very clean and cozy here.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Awesome local tea shop. It’s legit—there’s no brand name teas here. Everything is packaged there and the owner is friendly and knowledgeable. Do not buy tea anywhere else! Come here. 🍵 🫖 😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This little coffee shop is absolutely adorable! I was here a few weeks ago for coffee with my grandmother. I ordered a tiramisu latte. It was perfect! A lot of places with flavored coffees and lattes are too sweet, but not smith!! Phenomenal job overall!“

“The women there are so beautiful and helpful. They work very hard.

“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'm really impressed by Caribou Coffee in many different aspects. First, the coffee I got was really good - better than Dunkin' or Starbucks, for sure. Secondly, the service felt friendlier compared to other brands, and the environment was really comfortable to sit and enjoy my coffee.“

“I've shared Caribou Coffee experience many times. Its worth it in every sense of the word. We gather here once a month. Good food and great coffee. You should go.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Wheelchair friendly. At the busy time parking is“

“Fitonka has a huge variety of yummy energizing teas and healthy shakes at an affordable price. Excellent customer service and they even offer call ahead orders. I highly recommend stopping into this shake shop that's full of fun, vibrant, and positive energy to meet all of your nutritional needs!“

“This Ridgedale location is my 'go-to' when visiting the mall. The guy waiting on me was so nice and friendly, and offered wonderful service. Typically, I have the Ham & Swiss croissant sandwich, which is delicious. But this time I tried the NEW Grilled Cheese on Sourdough, and was disappointed. I will still return, but will order my usual.“

“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.“
