Ahhh Caribouu... how I have missed youuu.. I am originally from MN and grew up with Caribous as our hang out place, or study place in high school, with yummy drinks, and warm cozy atmosphere! Since moving to Chicagoland, I was comforted that there were many a Caribou Coffee locations...until tbey ALL PULLED OUT of the Chicagoland market! Gah! Withdrawls! This location was very cute, it had that cozy interior and lots of seating... and the front seating area has lots of big windows for ample natural lighting... This (April 2014ĺ is also the first I have seen lunch sandwiches offered on the menu, I was having a hard time decifering which of the 3 new sammiches to try because there are no ingredients listed, and the employees did not know what sauces or dressings or any ingredients besides what is listed in the title..so the meat, cheese, and bun.. but no real other info, even when the cashier girl tried to look it up in her product ingredients binder... so I took a chance on the Ham and Gruyere Cheese sandwich on a pretzel bun... Definitely had better... twas not very good... The idea of it sounded good, looked good in the picture, but ended up being much smaller and nastier than anticipated... it's so overpoweringly salty like super salty ham & pretzel bun, and really just doesn't taste like anything.... except pretzel bun, you taste that beast...and I LOVE me some pretzel bun.. but this hot drippy mess was just dysfunctional ... definitely will not be getting this again... and it just came out of a plastic wrap, and basically microwaved... blech...should have gone with the classic delish Chicken Apple Sausage Daybreaker... Moving onto beverages... I decided to inquire at the possibility of getting a cold blended cooler version of the Turtle Mocha, and I thought it would have espresso in it, like most normal Mochas, but they explained they would just have their cold coffee mix, no espresso, so I asked if they could please add two shots, which was no problemo, and if you can see by plethora of pictures how delectable my sweet treat beverage was.. sprinkled with crumbled Snickers atop my...

Read moreI actually had a great experience at this Caribou Coffee! Everyone was friendly and I even had a rare interaction with a young autistic boy and his father. As I grab my medium Salted Mocha Frappe that wasn't supposed to have whipped cream on it, because I never get whipped cream, hence the 4 star rating... Anyway, the boy brings his hand up to me in a fist and he has the biggest and brightest smile a young boy should have and his dad says, "he wants to fist bump you" and so I smile and then I fist bump him, he then wants me to slap his hand, so I do and fist bump again. So it's, 👊 ✋ 👊 and we both smiled and I said goodbye and to have a wonderful day. He yells to me, "you have wonderful day too".
