This place is super close to my house and great for a day working outside the house. The inside of the store is very clean and there is plenty of seating. They also have power strips for easy device charging. I haven't had the issues others have noted with long waits and poor service. While the majority of people working here are younger, I've always had great service and received my items quickly. I had one instance where my coffee was made incorrectly, but other than that, not much to complain about. They do have a drive thru and a selection of the Caribou retail items as well (cups, growlers, etc).

Holy cow, I was surprised to see nearly everyone having the exact same experience as me. (Slow, bumbling, almost inept service) The guy at the counter was very nice and took my order right away. After that, there were about 4 other people standing around tidying up the place (looking busy) but not actually making any orders. I stood around for a while and finally a guy (who was the lead, I assume) asked if I ordered the mocha - I nodded, and he proceeded to make a regular mocha even though I ordered a turtle mocha. So to summarize - slow service and I received the wrong order, but I guess the coffee was still good.. Will not visit again unless I am in dire need of a caffeine fix.

NOT busy, any of the five workers could've taken out garbage,  cleaned the floor,  or wiped counters. Rest was as bad.

I was happy to see the Einstein /Caribou combo nearby (at a very convenient location) after loving the ones I'd visited in Ohio and Iowa. Sadly.... Will have to head to one of those instead, as this one is a wreck! Gave it a couple shots. Both times I counted at least five people working, but still had to wait and wait for service. (First time, one woman was ahead of me. Today there was no one in line.) Both stops were to pick up a pumpkin bagel like I'd enjoyed at the Des Moines location. Both times they were sold out (do they realize it's October?). OK. Fine...can call it poor planning or busy day. So today I tried something else, but yuck. Very little flavor. The worst part was the mess. Cups and napkins from customers left on tables, newspapers strewn about on the dining counter, it was desperately in need of sweeping, ugly looking smears all over the front order counter, garbage on the floor of the kitchen area, stacks of boxes of supplies in their walkway behind the counter, and... no TP in the ladies room! (thankfully I noticed and ducked into the men's instead!) I am a big fan of Caribou, but won't be back at this one. The last straw was when I finally did get my bagel and the bag she plopped on the counter was splotched all over with cream cheese! This place needs serious help. I recommend you keep right on driving past it and hit a better shop. I sure will.

My cookies 'n cream cooler was very sloppy. The drink wasn't blended fully thru. My drink was clearly not made with love.

Loved the cold pressed java and my berry goodness bagel was good but the service is very slow. Seems is only with this location.

This was so worth adding an extra 30 minutes to go out of my way to pickup lunch before a 5+ hour…read moredrive back to Chicago. My vegan colleague told me it was a must-try, and I concur. The banh mi is indeed amazing. I had never had any banh mi before, but it was so good. I went with the "bacon" option and it was super tasty. Also, it was massive. Great portion size. My only regret is that I didn't go here for dinner the night before, because it would have made for a good dinner and leftovers. It was a bit hard to eat in the car on the drive back, so sadly I didn't get to finish it. The chips were also great. I also got two donuts (maple and the blueberry) to go. I inhaled the blueberry donut about 3 hours into the trip somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin, and the maple I managed to save until the next morning (I kept it in my fridge and then microwaved it for 10 seconds and it was delicious. I had to fight off my carb-obsessed cat, because she wanted it for herself). I will be back every time I'm in Rochester, probably multiple times per trip, and I will be buying a half dozen donuts (at least) to bring back home with me. I am eagerly waiting for the next work retreat just so I can come here. It's really that good.

"You can't refuse a request from a dying man." (Abe "Fish" Vigoda as Sal Tessio)…read more "I'm not dead yet!" (Abe Vigoda as himself, addressing rumors.) This super trippy coffee shop kills it harder than Abe in "The Godfather" when it comes to delivering the goods! Heavenly vegan donuts, that is. Wait...wrong Abe? My sister and I are not vegans, but we stopped here for breakfast several days in a row on our way to the Mayo Clinic earlier this year purely out of curiosity. It was really helpful in the ordering process to see the various pretty donuts labelled and strung above the counter. We purchased almost all the flavors to bring to the hospital for our family to try, and the consensus was that the ube and the plum lime were possibly the most delicious donuts we've had anywhere! Honestly! Other outstanding flavors included the tiramisu, the banana stand, and the blueberry crumble. As delightful as the donuts were, I was disappointed in my drink orders. I could only get through a few sips of both my dirty chai latte and the Almond Joy coffee. Old Abe gives some hardcore psychedelic vibes to the point that I wondered if a hallucinogen had been slipped into my coffee before heading into the ladies' room. 1,000 cats hissing at you from the walls will cause you to question your sanity! The rest of the décor was just as wild, from THE Minnesota Prince to an apocalyptic Godzilla declaring that the end was near. The question "1880's stage actor assassin or the bear" might apply in the polka dot room, so it's best to sit facing out with your back against a wall...regardless of which Abe the shop is named after. If the apocalypse, John Wilkes Booth, wildlife, the Chief of the Waponis, or the mob takes me out to sleep with the fishes, and I come back in my next life as the leader of a subversive cult, I'll have to revisit the book room of this shop to view their anarchist primers. Also, I'm sending these donuts to McConaughey as a bribe. He's a fan of Lincolns, so maybe he'll do an Old Abe commercial where he contemplates the meaning of life while noshing on a ube donut. Penny for your thoughts?

The boxes that the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese With Beef Brisket, Caesar Salad and French Fries were…read moresent in, were all filled to the top. This was enough food for 2 adults who like to eat! For the price and the quantity, I expected it might have been lower quality but everything lookedCaesar Salad amazing. It tasted even better! Especially the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese. It is creamy and comforting with a wonderful contrasting finishing crumb. Then we got beef on top which added a sweet filling protein. I also felt good after eating. I did not feel bloated, even though I ate until I was full. That is a sign of fresh and healthy ingredients. I would come back to try more of the menu at any time!

We stopped in for Forager while visiting Rochester…read more Our server Emily was very friendly and attentive. She never left us waiting for service and offered some great suggestions on the menu. While we know this is a brewery, they also serve batch cocktails, instead of a full bar. We started with their version of an old fashioned, which wasn't our first choice but they were actually tasty albeit a bit sweet. Since the weather was below 0, I craved something hot and comforting. I ordered the Beef Stroganoff which was tasty. Included braised local beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, parmesan, cream sauce, dill, house-made fettuccini, topped with sour cream. The sauce was light so you didn't feel like it weighed you down. My husband ordered the birria tacos. Beef brisket, white onions, mozzarella, cilantro, corn tortilla, green salsa, beef broth, lime Although they were tasty, they were quite greasy. Prices were reasonable. I would come back again and try the pizza.
