Nice clean shop friendly staff. Coffee was good as always. Caribou is still a favorite my personal go to for Coffee drinks and buying coffee for home.

Update: this caribou has been great for a while now. My previous review was critical but they seem to have worked out their issues. My drinks are typically done quickly and correctly. I love caribou in general, and this location gets my drink right most of the time .. but when they get busy they seem to have major problems compared to other locations I 've been to. This has happened more than four times, and usually the problem is that they don 't make the food part of my order if busy. Today was especially frustrating. I ordered ahead on my phone... I probably gave them a three to five minute head start before I got there. I ordered a sausage biscuit and white mocha. When I walked in they had a group of about 9 people waiting for something. A few of the people said that they had been waiting a very long time, and a few gave up and left while I was still waiting. I got my drink after between 10 to 15 minutes, but then realized that they had two people making drinks, two people taking orders, one person in the back, but nobody was making any of the food orders. I think other people were waiting for food too, but nobody even went near the oven in the roughly 20+ minutes I waited. I got frustrated and finally went up and said just to cancel the food part of my order because I had to leave. The girl said oh well we can make your food for you. . But my thought was.... I ordered about 20 minutes ago and I 'm guessing other people ordered food too since some of the people waiting already were holding a drink... Why wasn 't it being worked on at all before I said something? Why have two people taking in orders that you can 't fill rather than one of them working on food orders? It seems like when they are busy, they just do the drinks and ignore any food orders. I left without the food. I will avoid this location if possible. I still give three stars because when they are not busy they do fine.

All good! Great coffee! Service: Take out Meal type: Other Price per person: $1–10 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
