I love tea. Chai specifically, but I also enjoy black tea, green tea, red tea, you get the idea. I also dig a fruit smoothie now and then. But this review is mostly about me seeking out a coffee place to grab a chai latte. And Caribou is way better than Starbucks, and in a different stratosphere than the subpar chai at Crazy Mocha. In the fall months, they also offer a pumpkin chai, which pretty much blows my mind. It's insanely good. I wish they offered it year round, I'm always in the mood for pumpkin! That's my JAM!
I would love if Caribou got franchised the way Crazy Mocha has. I'd love to see one in every neighborhood, like Starbucks. The vibe is comfortable with light wood tones and lots of seating. The staff at the Oakland location is friendly and fast, there's free wifi, and they have crazy good chai. What else could a non-coffee drinker ask for!?
