Caribou Coffee

A surprisingly well crafted mocha! I was excited to be asked if I wanted light, dark or white chocolate. I recommend the dark. :)
A well balance of flavors and good wifi will bring me back to study and work here. Minus 1 star for a non-​functioning fireplace that doesn’t even emit heat when working. People, this is Colorado! How about functional heat sources, hmmm?

Love the dark chocolate mocha! Have as a treat! Great service and they always put a dark chocolate coffee bean on top! Yum!

This place is great! I love coming in here before work. Great tasting coffee and free smells! I love the random chalk board which has funny questions. The staff here are friendly and get stuff done. They always remind me when I have my perks ready to be used on my card. I don’t like how some of the baristas can’t make coffee correctly. Some of them can’t mix the coffee right. However, I am willing to overlook that.

This place is so great and peaceful, love the blueberry oatmeal and applewood sausage sandwich. All the employees are super nice and cool. Definitely my place to go.

What can I say? I am a Caribou coffee fan. I weirdly love the fact that I get a chocolate coffee bean on my mocha when I am able to get here. LOVE the dark chocolate option on the mocha, too. YUM!

The baristas have a great memory and the service is fast and friendly. I love their beans and roasting process, no bitterness and flavorful. Full Eclipse is my personal favorite.

The turtle drink is perfect for anyone who likes coffee flavor but still a little sweet/​creamy. I highly recommend this drink even through its still as expensive as Starbucks.

I usually have a pretty good experience here. It is in a nice location, although parking over here is a bummer during peak times. The inside is rather small but we have always been able to find a place to sit. I come here with my coworkers fairly regularly. It is nice they have a few tables in the front so we can visit outside on sunny days.
My favorite drink here is the campfire. It goes for $ 4.20 for a small, a bit of a hefty price tag but then again, it is a coffee shop, and around $ 5 for a non-​drip coffee drink is to be expected.
However, what is also to be expected, is being accommodating to the customer. I haven’t been here in a while. When we came in today, I asked how they could make it skinny, they gave me a couple options, and I went for the skim milk and low fat whip. They did ask what kind of chocolate I wanted, dark, milk, or white. What they didn’t ask was, hot or cold? It was a very hot day, I definitely wanted cold. They made it hot.
When I kindly told the guy who made my drink, «Sorry I totally forgot to say cold! I am really sorry I just honestly do not want the hot one, so sorry, my bad! Is it possible to remake it?» he glared at me and remade the drink cold.
Ugh. Didn’t ask if I wanted it blended though, obviously it is a million times better when blended (like a frap from Starbucks) instead of just on ice, letting the whipped cream grossly blend into the coffee, creating a weird, messy, unappetizing mixture. I of course wasn’t going to ask to have it remade again, I’m not a snob, and this guy already wasn’t happy with me.
So I took my small $ 4.20 drink and drank about half of it before deciding I really, really need to remember to specify cold AND blended next time.
The cashier should probably make it a habit to ask these questions ahead of time, for people like myself who have a bad memory and don’t come in often enough. It is just like how a waiter should ask how you want your steak cooked, they shouldn’t just assume and then get annoyed with you when it wasn’t what you had in mind.
Still a local favorite though. Great atmosphere and love the community chalkboard, it always has something funny on it. Usually service is better than what we had today. Definitely coming back soon to sit outside and soak up the sun and drink some caffeine outside of Caribou with coworkers once we start seeing more warm days in Colorado.

Caribou is less hectic than Starbucks. The coffee is good and there are several food options.

Good place to hang out and have some coffee while doing some work or spending time with friends. The coffee drinks are good, with the option for milk, dark or white chocolate in your mochas, etc. The staff are quite accommodating and welcoming. Last time I was there one staff member in particular kept loudly talking non-​stop to his co-​workers about this-​or-​that, to the point that it was hard to work and I had to leave. Other than that, I enjoy this Caribou location.

I quite enjoy the coffee, teas and foods I’ve tried. The staff is welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The only thing that prevents five stars, it’s not even their fault, is the fact so many people linger and you can’t find a place to sit. It’s a step up from bucks!

Awesome service. And super fast internet! Way faster than Starbucks! Very impressed. And this breakfast sandwich I am eating is delicious.

Hmmm, I did not care for the two girls who served us this time around. The one who put in our order kept saying things wrong (she was constantly corrected by the one who made our drinks) and would not refill drip coffee for ordering lattes (see my previous review where the pair of partner did everything right). And if the barista wasn’t too busy criticizing her co-​worker, she probably would’ve gotten our drinks right. We ordered one Berry White Mocha and one regular flavored latte, asked for only half the amount of syrup in each one since we also picked up some macarons and did not want our drinks to be too sweet. Turned out, they still were way too sweet and both were pink (because of the raspberry syrup I think. but only one of them should have it!)
The macarons looked and tasted just like the ones at Whole Foods but are more affordable here (ha!). One for $.99 or three for $ 2.49 or something like that. So we got three: pistachio, lemon, and raspberry. The first two were great but the last one was filled with just raspberry jam, not cream. Yuck! What is it with Caribou Coffee’s raspberry anything? I need to stay away from that flavor.
Sorry Caribou, I don’t think driving 5 miles will be worth my visit, not even at BOGO prices, if the risk factor of incorrect drinks are so high. I’m sad.

I like this coffee house. It’s much less crowded than your typical starbucks. There’s internet here if you’re looking for a quiet place to chill out and do some work or casual browsing of the internet.
I had a hot chocolate. They give you the option of white, milk, or dark here. I’m definitely a milk chocolate person :). It was decently priced and the cashier was very friendly and helpful.

First time here while waiting for the Verizon store and I enjoyed a Raspberry latte. Heavy on the sweet side (I questioned the amount of espresso) but makes me want to come back!
Nice to see other coffee shops than Starbucks, told the cashier that and she smiled. Excellent service at this location

This Caribou is a great place to come in and get some homework done, read a book, or even come in just to hang out. The staff is always super nice and accommodating. Their regular coffees are delicious and I don’t usually drink any of their specialty drinks, but my wife always gets the Campfire Latte and loves it. What makes Caribou a better stop than any Starbucks are their breakfast and lunch sandwiches, bomb. Overall a really great place to get some coffee and study.

I got a turtle mocha with dark chocolate and asked for half the syrup they usually put in. It was perfect. It’s quiet and cozy inside. I am over Starbucks and try to go to smaller places. No mom & pop places close, but this happened to be, so decided to give it a shot. They didn’t disappoint and I would go back.

I prefer Caribou Coffee’s froufrou latte beverages to Starbucks. So I was pleased to find out they opened a location close to my office!
Drinks are tasty, staff is friendly, store is new and clean and usually not too busy… yet. It’s still new.
Parking lot is insane during lunch hour.

I love caribou coffee — so was super excited when they moved in! Only downside is that the store is brand new and so are all the employees — so plan some extra time for the next few months!

I got an iced non-​fat latte. I Wasn’t too impressed with their coffee because it was extremely bitter and not smooth at all. After this experience I would say I prefer Starbucks. But maybe it was just an off day. Coffee places are usually hit or miss. I’m going to give them a second chance because the location is so convenient for me. I’ll update my review the next time I go. Also, they have a large variety of papyrus cards if you ever need a super fancy birthday, get well soon, wedding or whatever other sort of card you may need. It was nice looking at them while I waited for my coffee.
