6 Best Coffee Shops near River Falls

“Such a wonderful cafe! Friendly and warm, with lovely tables and chairs. Perfect for lunch or a snack, or just sitting with a hot cup of amazing coffee and a book :)“

“Highly recommend! We’ve had their coffee a few times in the mornings, but last night we tried their pizza and it was phenomenal! We love that they have a gluten free option for pizza as well as their Gluten Free Land bakery items!“

**Overview & Atmosphere**
This Caribou Coffee, tucked inside Family Fresh to the left, is probably one of the best small locations out there, even without a drive-thru. It boasts plenty of seating, including two comfy chairs next to a cozy fireplace, making it a great spot to relax or catch up on work. The atmosphere is inviting, and with an entire grocery store at your disposal, plus amenities like public bathrooms, a drinking fountain, an Easy Tab machine, a Redbox, and a Coinstar, it’s a convenient stop for more than just coffee.

**Ordering Experience**
Ordering here is straightforward and easy. However, the pickup area could use clearer signage, as it’s not always obvious where to get your order. Occasionally, there’s some clutter around the pickup spot, which could be improved, but it’s a minor issue in an otherwise smooth experience.

**Menu Highlights**
The menu offers all the classics, from mochas to matcha, but my personal favorite is the chicken sausage sandwich paired with a large white chocolate mocha with an extra shot of espresso—definitely the best items on the menu. Their matcha is also fantastic, offering a great alternative if you’re not in the mood for coffee.

**Bubble Tea Warning**
One downside, though, is their bubble tea. Unfortunately, they serve it with square bubbles, which just don’t hit the mark. The texture and taste are off, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re a bubble tea fan. This is something across all Caribou locations, not just this one, and it does affect the overall food experience slightly. Get round bubbles, Caribou!

Parking: Over 60 parking spots

Kid-friendliness: It's a good place for kids cuz it's got a nice place next to the fireplace they could sit while you have your coffee, and the ample seating provides for. I don't think they have high chairs, but they're still ample seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything's low to the ground. There's a ramp and inside there are no stairs.“

“If Brandis is working the drive thru the service is amazing, she remembers your car, your name and your drink. Always cheerful and happy to see you. Employees like her make it ok to pay a little bit more. The rest of the staff need to learn from her and up their game.“

“We absolutely Love going to the River Falls location! Management and workers are absolutely AMAZING! They all really care about each customer satisfaction. They go above and beyond to make each customer happy. We went through the drive-through this morning and the kids were so excited about the wonderful Easter bunny that was at the drive-through. They also received an egg with a doughnut hole in the egg. It made their day! Again, we appreciate all you do!“
