We come here quite a bit. My wife is the crazy coffee/caffeine nut. I am usually the chauffeur. I will get something more refreshing usually. My wife likes their coffee and I like some of the cold drinks like the cold coffees and fruit fusion drinks. The staff are normally fast, friendly and helpful. I also like to get some of their small sandwiches when in a hurry. They aren't bad,but not great either. Fair prices on the food. I think the coffee is over priced.

High top chairs everywhere

I love Caribou! I'm in the South metro for a baseball tournament and I need coffee! I don't even have to think because I know my order. Same great stuff, good quality. Busy spot between the drive through and even inside. Two of the employees were super sweet and efficient. The manager (I assume) has one of those gruff voices so I thought I was in trouble, but she was just asking if it was for here or to go. What is with all the high top chairs in here? It's not a bar. They really aren't that comfortable. I'm sure couches aren't fun to clean, but the new Bou by me has them and they are awesome and comfy! I was also confused and couldn't find the accoutrements. You know, where the cream, sugar, napkins, etc. are. I looked and looked and had to end up asking for napkins to go with my egg sammie. The other odd thing with this location is the drive through window is on one wall and the drink making area is on the other wall. So to walk to the bathrooms/back of the space you walk between where they grab the to go stuff to take to the drive through window. It's also where you pick up your drink order. So watch it! It's an extra busy area! It is Caribou, so if ever I'm in this neck of the woods again I'll probably swing through the drive through. Bou baby!

I frequent Caribou quite a bit at many of their locations. This location in particular is one of my favorites as it is easily accessible and the staff has ALWAYS been super friendly. Other locations are friendly, but there is something about this location that just is a notch above the others. Either way, no matter which location you visit/frequent, beats the hell out of any other "coffee shop" that isn't your local "mom & pop" shop. Plus, their cup sleeves typically have some snazzy saying on it. Support Minnesota's own!!!

Seems like good staff(ordered through app). Drinks tasted like water and just milk for an iced chai latte... could have been better.

This location needs a refresher on ADA rights. Service dogs are not required to wear vests. The employee was a tad bit rude.

Ordered a medium cold press without ice and I got half a cup. Can't believe it when they handed it to me

Minimally, I hear them ask me to clarify my drink order, but most of the time, they catch every single part of my order with no hesitation.

I've seen great reviews for BlueNose Coffee so I had to check it out! They had a drive thru but I…read morewent inside to order. They have a cozy atmosphere and is a nice spot to enjoy a morning drink. I ordered a blue nose mocha and a believin' berry buzz dirty soda along with a blueberry scone. The scone was subtly sweet and pretty dense. It was a great choice of bakery item. The mocha was super sweet. It almost tasted more like a latte than a mocha. The sugary flavors drown out the espresso bitterness. I'd order something else next time since the sugar rush was a lot. Since Farmington has been known to consume the most Mountain Dew per capita in the US I ordered a Mountain Dew based dirty soda. With all the added flavors of this drink I kind of forgot it was Mountain Dew. Like everything else this was a super sugary drink but was nice to try due to the novelty of the drink.

I've passed by BlueNose Coffee many times and always noticed how busy it is, especially the…read moredrive-through, which always seems packed. I finally decided to stop in for an early coffee and breakfast. They have a display case next to the register offering bakery items and sandwiches. The bakery items looked great, but I was in the mood for something more filling, so I ordered the Turkey Bacon Apple sandwich. For my drink, I chose the hot Bananas Foster Latte with an extra shot of espresso. The coffee was pretty good and came out quickly. It wasn't mind-blowing, but I enjoyed it. The sandwich was also good, though nothing particularly special--it was a fairly standard turkey sandwich. The vibe of the café is nice, with plenty of tables and cute décor. The service was great as well; the person who took my order was very friendly and welcoming. While this isn't a place I'm rushing back to, I would return to try some of the bakery items or one of their "dirty sodas," which I thought was an interesting addition to the menu.

Today I spent over $10 and got a 24 pack of their water for $1.99 valid memorial weekend only. They bag your groceries and put rubber bands around eggs and raspberries. There is a drive thru to pick up your groceries. Lunds Byerlys are kinda upscale. This grocery store had a recent remodel but it still is not as fancy as Plymouth and other locations. I guess you pay extra having a grocery store so close by.

The holiday menus are always a good bet for the cost and the lunch bar choices make for a nice alternative to fast food in the Twin Cities. On my last grocery run, I was lucky enough to find gluten-free vanilla extract for some sweet baked goods, a great selection of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc wines, and several varieties of dilled crudités (in jars in kosher/ condiment aisles) to lay out with cheeses for a small soirée I threw together. All I needed to add was the Gavin DeGraw music and the palettes were contented that afternoon :) Cheers to Byerly's!

The vanilla iced latte was also good but I'd recommend the miel. We ordered the burrata bruschetta without the balsamic and it's delicious. The focaccia that it's on is so soft and buttery. It tastes delicious. I got the eggs Benedict with no meat and the hollandaise sauce was yummy and tasted homemade. The breakfast potatoes are good. The cheesy hashbrowns has an interesting taste to me. Neither my mom nor I cared for them. We would recommend and we will be back. Our server was amazing and very attentive.

My quintessential breakfast item is eggs Benedict and cappuccino- this is how I begin my evaluation of good food. So it was a toss up between The Better Half and the Lakeville Brewing Co which share the same parking lot. AI told me to go to Lakeville Brewing for the Benedict if I expect it to be done right. However it said The Better half will have way better cappuccino. Entryway into The Better Half was nice . The ambiance reminded me of High Hat on Selby on Cathedral Hill in St Paul. However the warmth wasn't there at The Better Half. The big bar had a few people sitting there, bartender looked at us but didn't say anything. No welcome - no smile nothing. No host at the front door- there was only a sign saying "please wait to be seated". We stood there for about two minutes until someone came from the back to seat us. Our server was a different person, she seemed warm and personable. They should put her in charge as hostess. First impressions are everything. Also train the bartender to be talkative, that's usually why people go to bars- they know at least the bartender will be friendly. Cappuccino was decent and good sized, no complaints there. The Benedicts were executed poorly. The eggs were hard boiled on both dishes. Hollandaise was thick, tasteless and slopped all over the plate. It didn't look appetizing - we had to send it back. With that said the ham was a good thick slice and the potatoes were fried up well. But there was nothing special about the potatoes. Due to poor execution of the eggs Benedict and hollandaise, coupled with the stoic bartender who was unwelcoming- I'd have to give this place a 1.5 star. It's unfortunate since I want to cheer for the small town restaurants. There's so much they could offer in personal touch and experience. Unfortunately this experience left us feeling like "if this is the better half, then I don't want meet the other half." Management needs to step up their game, it's not fair to the workers to let guests start off with a poor experience and then have the food quality continue to degrade the experience. The server never gets a chance to earn a great tip because the bartender, lack of host greeting and poor execution of food overshadows the server who was trying her best. We tipped her well anyway but this is why the lengthy review.. For a breakfast place you gotta get your eggs right. That's 101 cooking.
