| - This Caribou Coffee is pretty cozy compared to others. It's nestled in the same building as the UPS Store, so make sure you take the left turn when you walk in the main door, otherwise you'll be shipped off somewhere.
Unlike the Caribou on East Blvd, this one's relatively quiet, allowing for a more intimate environment. In fact, my partner and I we had our first "date" here. It provided the right level of coziness for "get-to-know-you" conversation, yet it was casual enough so neither of us would feel awkward.
Caribou's coffee is less bitter than Starbucks and they offer some interesting coffee combinations like the Lite White Berry, made with sugar-free raspberry syrup and white chocolate syrup. YUM. Unfortunately, it's not really that "lite" as the name might suggest. For under 100 calories, I go for the Northern Lite Raspberry Latte. Not chocolatey, but still fruity sweet.
During the fall, their pumpkin drinks rock. There's so much more pumpkin flavor in their hot and cold drinks than other coffee places. And during the holidays, the Ho Ho Mint Mocha is not only fun to say, "it's so tasty, too! Tastes just like candy," as Lucy Ricardo would say.
