| - This is my favorite place to hang out and work. The vibe is great, plenty of outlets for the laptop, and the coffee is above average.
Atmosphere:
The cafe is open, well lit with natural sunlight, and is decorated like a typical coffee store meets mountain lodge. It's comfortably worn without being at all worn-out. Outside is a nice area to sit in the sun right on east blvd, with plenty of people walking and jogging by to gawk at. Anyway it keeps the feng shui up. The atmosphere and location kick this place up from a 3 to a 4 in my opinion.
Food
The coffee here is fine. It's not my favorite in the world but it is on par with Starbucks I suppose. My favorite in the area is Dilworth coffee, but Caribou is an ok second. They use syrup for their chai, and if you read my other reviews, you know this is a peeve of mine. One day this will be outlawed and a federal offence. I've had a few snacks, nothing special, typical fare.
Service
Service is fine. I've never been overly impressed with the staff here, but it'll do. They get you what you need and don't give you any extra conversation, so you don't have any sense of small community vibe that this place could easily have.
Celebrity most likely to enjoy eating here:
That girl from Juno. She seems sleepy and fits the half hippie half hipster vibe here.
Half hour to live and I have to get my last meal here:
You can just go ahead and kill me so I can avoid the syrupy chai.
