Caribou Coffee

Worst cup of coffee I’ve ever tasted! Paid $ 2.85 for regular coffee with vanilla. Faint taste of vanilla and strong bitter/​burnt taste and smell!

Always love Caribou. It’s my favorite place for coffee in town. A white chocolate raspberry mocha with a blueberry scone? Yes please!
Their bakery goods are from Bit of Swiss, and are so good.
There is plenty of seating upstairs in Martins too.

I known not to expect much from a chain, but when they had the Starbucks I enjoyed every visit. This time definitely less than satisfied. Cappuccino frothier works well, I will give them that much, but the taste of burner powder cuts through the milk. Sugar, and even a stale macadamia nut cookie did not help. Cookie is large, but only a dollar. You overpay for the coffee, that is for sure. I just opened a bag of Intelligentsia beans at home, so I might have too high of an expectation, but it is what it is. Everybody is stepping up the coffee game, and but this time the Starbucks probably would have offered a Clover for this area.
So far the Clover machine is the best you can get from a large chain coffee house, namely Starbucks.
By the way, the service at Caribou here was never pleasant either, save the Manager Sarah who transitioned well from The old location. If you are just passing by– keep driving: there is a Martins with Starbucks down the road, and also a Panera which you will like more than this self-​exalted joint.

I have been having trouble having bowel movements and the only cure I could think of was some coffee so I stopped here, it really moved through me. I was hesitant as the coffee tasted very light and nutty and didn’t have that bold make you paint the porcelain type of taste but boy was I wrong, they actually had to close off the bathroom because of what I did in there and I have caribou coffee to thank for that! definitely recommended from an IBS sufferer
