Bearaboo Coffee Escape — Restaurant in Cloquet

Upon pulling into the parking lot and seeing cars at the drive through window was the first sign that this place was doing it right. Immediately I knew it was likely the best spot in town. Right as you enter the doors it is a welcoming and intriguing experience. Along their half wall overlooking the prep area you see a variety of dozens of classic metal coffee thermos which set me back to the feeling of camping in Minnesota's north woods. The wide array of pastries, sweets and locally made marshmallow desserts grabbed my eye. As I was looking around I noticed many staff members eager to help take my order and on standby although they were equally attentive to continuing to brew drinks and keep things flowing. I took a few minutes to observe their wonderful decor. Every piece comes together with the next. It feels very much like a rustic cabin. They had a wide array of merchandise for sale as expected and some really cute t-shirts with style. A couple pieces of interest in decor were the origami wind chime and the hanging Tiffany style overhead lamps. Onto ordering. Immediately as I approached the register it was less than a second before I was helped. It appeared the girl to help me wasn't typically the one time in the register, but the customer service efforts here are clearly seen and engrained into the culture that she noted what I said and passed it onto the next staff member to get it made seamlessly. I ordered a salted caramel iced latte although a breve temped me. After tasting the latte everything was confirmed that this is the place for espresso in town. Bonus points that the staff walked my drink out to me from behind the bar rather than just setting it on the serving end top. (Take notes other coffee houses, this is how you can earn tips and drive customer value) White chocolate raspberry scone that accompanied my latte tasted as expected. Not the best, but it was believable that it was locally made rather than ordered in, I couldn't quite tell. To me that's a success. (I'd order another next time) As far as the seating area there are several high tops and booths throughout two different rooms. Plenty of cozy areas to sit and enjoy a beverage without any rush. WiFi available and they have the password info in an obvious location. No need to awkwardly ask for it. The staff here are clearly invested in the place and we're busy all the time keeping things in order. Thr cleanliness was impressive also. Not a sticky spot or any crumbs on any of the tables and they were quite busy at the time I visited on the 4th of July morning. Anyone that has taken the time to read this review this far please don't hesitate over where to go if you are in the area. You won't be...

We've been going to Bearaboo for a good while now, and their quality never disappoints. Even in transitioning to a keto diet, their options are spectacular and fairly priced for a smaller coffee shop rivaling Starbucks and Caribou (though I do wonder how the got away with the name being so close to the latter). And the one time we had our order filled incorrectly, they replaced it free without any argument. Their tea is delicious, their coffees are phenomenal. In particular, order a sugar-free raspberry keto drink, and you will enjoy it whether or not you are on keto or some other diet, it seriously tastes like a raspberry coffee milkshake and it's made us feel so much better after a stressfully long week. Would highly recommend this little shoppe for anybody in the area that enjoys good coffee and doesn't mind paying a little more than what you would for the big...

This may not directly be related to them, but as far as I am aware, the carwash attached is operated by Bearaboo.

This is not negative to the drinks/food side.

I am giving a one star rating because I was getting a car wash and the wash didn't finish my car. It just covered it half in soap and just stopped behind it. I had to leave and go to Kwik Trip to finish my wash. Was a waste of $9.

Quite unfortunate actually. It also doesn't help that they don't have a website or email to contact them. I am busy and am usually unable to go in person to talk to someone due to work. I would gladly get rid of this rating if this was remedied.

I also have photos and a video showing...
