It's been a minute since I've patronized a Caribou Coffee joint. Sadly, I don't remember Caribou sucking so much.
Their service wasn't terrible. They were especially friendly and chipper on a rainy, dreary Friday morning. I'll give them 2 stars for that.
I came for a tasty caffeinated beverage and they failed in that department. The beverage was certainly caffeinated. However, it was NOT tasty. Foolishly, I wanted to add some spice to my life so I ordered a 'pumpkin latte'. It tasted like some pumpkin pie spice had just been thrown into a few shots of espresso. No real pumpkin flavor. I couldn't even drink it. And it cost me more than $5. I've had the Starbucks pumpkin option recently and it was MUCH more enjoyable!
I rarely grab coffee in the morning as I usually brew my own. However, this morning I was unusually pressed for time and found myself in North Olmsted early on a Friday morning. Silly me! Next time, I"ll skip the chain options and go local.
