Coffee delicious The gentleman that helped me was VERY polite and friendly That green and white coffee place is in trouble!! I'm team Caribou!! read more

I've been buying my coffee beans from here for 14 years. They have a great selection of beans, and I always choose light roast. Service is friendly, and the pastries are good. The parking is good, but yes they're popular- so occasionally I have to park next door. read more

Stopped here for coffee and it's just as good as the last time I was here. I wish they had ceramic mugs bs paper cups but it's ok. Also I wish they carried stevia for those of us that are particular about sugar alternatives. Parking was tricky today as this is a popular spot. Staff friendly. read more

Caribou Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Greeted by 6'5" and kind barista! Assisted my friend (with questionable taste as she does not partake in coffee) with a bright and refreshing fruit energy fuel drink. The location was inviting and comfortable with patrons working on laptops and enjoying their afternoon sip n reads. read more

Caribou Coffee - Crisp and refreshing layered Pomegranate Acai energy fueler - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I got came here for a few hours to do some work. I got a drip coffee, which I don't expect to be particularly good, but it wasn't good at all. Not burnt like Starbucks, just watered down it seemed. I couldn't finish it. The interior has a cozy feel even though they didn't keep it very warm, and I think to say that Caribou is like a cozy Starbucks is a reasonable comparison. I did see some crumbs and trash left under some chairs which just made it feel a little messy but it wasn't too bad. Overall I don't think it's a bad spot, but there's nothing about it that really makes me want to come back. read more

Caribou Coffee - Lots of crumbs under one chair and a napkin under another. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Stale food, stale coffee and stale staff. I can stay at home, make a latte then go to my bathroom mirror and treat myself terrible free of charge. Elisa - thanks for the experience, I was looking for an excuse to try somewhere else. read more

Caribou Coffee has been on my places to try in Chapel Hill for a while now. The baristas were very friendly and offered menu suggestions when asked. I ordered a London Fog, which has become my new favorite drink. The barista did a fabulous job with my drink. I mean it as so delicious. The tea flavor + milk + a little bit of sweetness = just right! It's the best London Fog that I've ever had. Needless to say I'll will visit this location again. read more

Gosh I missed this place. I haven't seen a Caribou in maybe 10 years, when I was still living in the midwest. They are so much better than the famous chain with Space/dollar-esuqe name... The Wi-fi was easy to access, there are plenty of outlets for charging, big comfortable leather chairs, and a rather homey atmosphere. The place was kept clean, I didn't ahve to see tables with a bunch of garbage left behind after people had left. I ordered an iced chai since I don't drink coffee. Good blend of milk and spice, it was a well made drink. Good times. read more

Stopped by each morning during a visit with family. People there are very good. Service is quick and coffee drinks are well made.

I love caribou's hot chai tea latte and stop for one most times I visit my chiropractor's office across the street. Always fixed as ordered and reasonably quickly given their steady business. read more

The coffee was good and the environment was super cozy, there's a ton of seating and tables if you're doing work. The service was good as well, even with them being a bit busy they got our drinks out quickly. read more

It's Caribou-that says it all. This company makes top notch coffee drinks and we are lucky to have them here. Their food is so much. Ether than big bucks and the service is in a totally different category. The people greet you, smile, give good service. The shops are all cute, too. Cabin in the mountains vibes make it warm and inviting. Go ahead and head on over, grab a drink and a bite and settle in to enjoy it. read more

Great service, terrific food and enjoyable atmosphere! Would highly recommend! Service was fast and attentive and very nice.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I have been to LOADS of coffee shops all over the country and Caribou is definitely one of my favorites. It just feels at home, I have never gotten anything here that disappoints. 10/10 haha. read more

Very nice employees. Coffee drinks are bland. Interior fine. Nice outdoor seating. Neither bad nor especially good.

This Caribou Coffee was clean, quiet and cozy. There was mixed group of people studying, reading and hanging out, but the overall volume was perfect for quietly reading my book and enjoying the ambience. They had lots of comfy seating options, and the lighting gave a warm feel. I had a spiced chai latte, which had lots of foam and wasn't too sweet; if anything I could've made it a little sweeter. Instead however, I opted for a cinnamon coffee cake, which was moist and slightly dense with gooey cinnamon globs throughout. Super sweet and super delicious! read more

Now I've been known to drink a lot of caribou coffee. And there are a few of their locations I'd never set foot in because they are a big fat zero on the Yelp scale. But this ain't one of them. Caribou Chapel Hill is what EVERY location should be like: CLEAN, QUIET,and GREAT COFFEE. Why can't the others reach the same echelon of coffee awesomeness? I seriously don't know. It doesn't make sense. There really isn't a reason other than the individual stare management. And the team at Chapel Hill is doing it right. First, BAM - always greeted as soon as I walk in the door. BOOM - guy taking my order always smiles and jokes with me, making me feel genuinely welcomed. WHAM - the drinks are consistent and on target. And lastly, BAAABAAMMM! No drug adicts have ever hit me up for money like at their Cary location. So dollar for dollar, even though it's a long haul from my house, it's worth it - it's the real deal folks. Seriously. So if you miss the good old days of Caribou Coffee, come take a look. There is still hope for this once beloved brand. And that hope can be found at the Chapel Hill location. Let's just hope it's contagious. read more

Amazing customer service. Talked to the guy at the register for a while and he covered my coffee. Need more people like that. Also great for studying. read more

Went in to order a coffee and gave the barista a $20 bill and only received $2 and some change back. When I told the barista "I paid with a $20 bill, shouldn't there be more change?" He claimed I only paid with a $10, but I only had 20's in my wallet. I come here often so it kinda stinks that this will be on my mind next time I think about stopping by. read more

Very cool vibe and great coffee. The holiday options are both creative and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great place to just hang out and chill. read more

It was ok. Coffee was not my favorite so I won't go there anymore. Service was alright and the ambience was more comfy...

Caribou Coffee is awesome! I'll choose it over most of the other popular options. The sweetness is just right! The amazing lineup of drinks will hit the spot, whether you are craving a nice coffee or fruity drink. This is 1 of 3 location in the area and is a great place to work! It doesn't get that crowded and there are plenty of spaces to sit. I love the location. Although this is a 15-20 minute drive for me, I don't mind making it for a quality drink. Great customer service! Everyone is really kind. read more

There's very limited parking. Sometime, I park in nearby parking spaces behind Caribou. They do have one of my favorite studying atmospheres. It's also a great place for smaller meetings. There are a decent number of single seater couches and plenty of tables. The temperature is usually perfect- neither too warm in the winter or too cold in the summer. There drink selections are standard and don't really stand out- but the value of the place primarily lies in its atmosphere and work spaces read more

Absolutely PATHETIC! Went in just to get two gift cards. The barista who was assisting did not greet us, and in fact stepped aside when we approached. Then after placing an order for two $25 gift cards, we were given two cards with one sleeve. When we asked for a second sleeve, it took over 10 minutes for her to attempt to track one down...which she never did. The manager on duty (?) informed us they had none left, which is odd considering there are 50+ gift cards strewn about the store. Another employee was dressed completely unprofessional and was operating the register with a roll of toilet paper in hand. No name tags, no greeting, poor service; the entire presentation was underwhelming and off putting. This was a horrific experience in every sense of the word. We loyally purchase Caribou Coffee to brew at home, and this experience has made us reconsider supporting the company altogether. Again, absolutely PATHETIC. read more

Another popular coffee shop in the Chapel Hill-Carborro area. Great for team projects, doing work with friends, or socializing. The parking can be limited during busy hours. In my many visits, the place has always had a charger open or one that usually opened within half an hour of being there. I will say their coffee (I usually try any drinks that are iced) is a mediocre and breakfast sandwiches are ~pricey~. Staff is really nice though! Everything is currently to go bc COVID but there is outdoor seating for about 3-4 people. read more

subpar coffee that gave my husband diarhhea. Pastries were crunchy and had sand in them??!! Five stars because the ambiance was off the hook, although my pale white milk toast husband requests that you play more hard christian death metal Jesus rock and gospel songs in the cafe. read more

Coffee was overpriced but fine...But i have a bone to pick with your 10 cent off trivia question. Trivial as it may be, the ancient egyptians did not indeed build houses with wood. Think about it for a second. Consider the environment, the availability of materials. My answer, mud baked into bricks, was correct. The barista's answer, wood, was nothing short of ridiculous. Please show me a source of abundant timber in ancient egypt. Unimportant indeed but annoying enough to make me be petty on the internet albeit as I hide behind my screen. If you're going to have trivia, at least know the answer. Sigh. Good day. read more

Their coffees are delicious. I love caribou blend and cross fox. The shop is clean and has friendly service.

Favorite coffee shop in Chapel Hill! Staff is always so pleasant and goes out of their way to make sure your drink/experience is great

On a nice Spring day, Caribou is a great place to sit outside and get some work done. The tables are socially distant and there are umbrellas to provide some shade (if so desired). There aren't a lot of food options but the coffee is good (the egg souffle things are pretty good and low carb - but PRICEY) read more

Yummy coffee it's pretty good quality. The winter special drinks are the best. The refreshers are also really yummy. The service here was sooooo good too I think that's what made the drinks that much better. I come here whenever I'm close by. read more

This place had a spectacular staff, who were super kind and helpful while taking our order! The place is clean, the drinks are "bangin" as the youth might say, and the straws are a fantastic matte blue color that I've never seen anywhere else! The seating leaves something to be desired, as there is not much structure or table space available. Would I come here for my birthday party? Maybe not. Would I come here for a cup o' joe with the missus? I sure as heck would. Great job Carribou Coffee. read more

My blended blackberry lemonade was delicious and my waitress/barista/friend Hannah was so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the closest coffee shop to me but I always avoided it due to the lack of study space in the main shop area (being a law student hurts in so many ways). The only big tables used to be in an unheated back room that was so cold I used to wear my scarf and coat the entire time! However, they've recently rearranged so there are more large tables in the main space and they've added power strips to the outlets so fighting to plug in your laptop isn't a problem anymore. The staff is friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my day as well as my coffee order. The space is well-lit and has comfortable chairs and a fireplace, if you're one of those lucky people (that I used to be) that go to coffee shops to oh... I don't know... maybe read for pleasure and catch up with friends and there is always a good mix of undergrads, grad students, and locals. Parking can be a bit of a problem, though, and lots of people get creative so if there isn't a real spot available don't worry. Just make one up! read more

Caribou Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Always very good coffee and lots of seating. I only wish that students wouldn't set up camp for hours on end and want people to be quiet as if they're in a library. If you want that kind of a setting, go to the library! read more

I have a confession to make, I have been cheating on my beloved usual coffee chain and I think I'll be doing it on a regular basis. This location specifically is a decent size but, is always busy. The seats are all taken up and the parking lot is packed whether I was there at 8pm or 8am. However I love a sweet sugary coffee and a place that allows you to select whether you want milk, dark, or white chocolate in your coffee is after my own heart. I tried out the Mint Condition Mocha and the Turtle Mocha, both were good but mint and chocolate are my jam so, that would definitely be where my favorite leans towards. I also tried the ham and cheese quiche which wasn't bad. The service was good nothing particularly friendly but nothing rude or anything along those lines. read more

this was my first time coming here, for the adults though it was their second or third time! they really liked the atmosphere & i finally got to see how it is! i ordered the blueberry almond oatmeal & they let me customize it by no added sugar (though they ran out of blueberries, they gave extra almond slices!) my mom & grandpa shared a cinnamon coffee cake with a medium light roast coffee while i had a small. the atmosphere was really naise & so wholesome! i saw lots of students studying & it's such a suitable place for that! the workers were really nice & spoke clearly abt everything! i'd really love to come back & try the different type of coffees they offer! read more

Ever since Caribou Coffees across the country were turned into Peet's I've been searching for something that could mend my broken heart. And it turns out Caribou is alive and well in North Carolina, victory! If I were you, I'd pass on the food and just guzzle any of the drinks. Whether it's coffee, a cooler, latte or mocha, you really can't go wrong. And everyone in here is super nice, which beats any other coffee chain out there. read more

Turtle mocha is super yummy!! A little sweet but I got dark chocolate so it was a good balance

I really like this coffee shop. This is my go to coffee location if I have a few minutes to sit down and enjoy my coffee. The baristas are always pleasant the coffee and snacks are good. My only complaints are that their small parking lot is frequently impossible to find a space in. They also run out of food items frequently. No matter what time of day you go in. I also dislike that the company itself has taken away many of my favorites from the menu over the years. read more
