For some reason it's really difficult for me to write a review about a place I have visited almost every week for the past 5 years.
Coffee: Flavorful. If I were to compare it to Starbucks I would say that the flavor is more profound. Starbucks is a much darker coffee. I do love Starbucks but Caribou wins with the flavor.
Specialty drinks: Caribou, you disappoint me here. I have never been happy with your specialty drinks... for some reason Starbucks has always had the better White Chocolate Mocha.
Service: Not a huge amount of turnover here. I usually see the same people every week for about 2 years and then it's a new bunch of faces. Very friendly. A few years ago they we're OBSESSED with selling their pastries and it almost turned me away completely from Caribou.
Ambiance: In the morning it's like a heard of cattle lining up to get their caffeine fix. The rest of the day it's kind of slow.
