The friendliness of the staff makes this one of my favorite Caribou shops. They are extremely welcoming and always remember to ask for my Caribou member number. If you need a menu recommendation, they can ALL guide you to something you will enjoy. The drive-thru has the standard signage but it is a bit faded. If you can order ahead online, it will be faster to walk in and get your drink, as this popular location can have a busy drive-thru. There is a quiet seating nook for working/studying in the back of the shop, away from the usual noice of business; it is closed due to COVID restrictions right now.

I have been drinking Caribou for years. And never have been told not to come back! She was probably 25 and had pink and green hair….i am a professional woman and I know Caribou does not treat their...

My personal fave drinks are an iced malted mocha w/ half milk chocolate, half dark chocolate. Also, their oat milk crafted press with oat milk foam is delicious! I add dark chocolate.
My kids & I really love whenever we are helped by Megan or Tri. Both are fabulous, kind, & very personable. Many of the other employees are lacking in people skills. I’ve been helped by multiple people that don’t even make eye contact or say a single word to me. All I ask is for a simple thank you & smile.
