I visited to pick up a large order--10 gallons of coffee--for an event. When I noticed that one of the two insulated jugs appeared to be leaking, I asked the staff member about it. She inspected it and said it was likely just steam since the coffee was freshly brewed. The jug didn't seem too heavy, so I let her know I didn't need help and would make a few trips. However, once I stepped outside, I felt my leg getting warm. I set the jug down and realized it had leaked hot coffee all over my pants. I immediately returned to the store and asked the employee to take a look. She came outside, confirmed that the jug had been overfilled, and ended up pouring some out to prevent further leakage. Thankfully, I was wearing thick sweatpants--otherwise, I might have been burned. The situation could have been worse, but it definitely could have been avoided with a bit more attention during prep. read more

Caribou Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

Welp, well it looks like Starbucks AND Caribou are off the list for coffee now. We were in the parking lot debating whether to go in or drive thru, so we opted to place a mobile order via the Perks app. We ordered two combos, one with an energy drink and the other an iced craft press. There were no modifications. There were 7 cars in the slow moving line. When we finally got to the window, a confused looking boy awkwardly handed me the energy drink. My daughter indicated it was missing the cold foam, and the boy took the drink back and gave it to a middle aged white female who questioned the issue. She finally turned the cup to look at the sticker and sloppily put the cold foam in and the drink was handed back out with a loose lid. We received our sandwiches and then we asked if anything else was needed. I told the boy that I was still missing my coffee. He relayed that information to the woman who figured out my order, and rudely snapped at the boy saying "it's crafted press not coffee!" I told the poor kid working the drive-thru that I'm the one that said "coffee" (he was just repeating what I'd said) and wished him luck in the rest of his day. Before we went in the drive-through, we noticed a man and a woman dressed in polo shirts with the Caribou emblem on them, seemingly from corporate or other management. I don't know if the wheels came off the bus after they walked out or what the problem was, but I've never been treated so poorly at Caribou and the hostility in the drive thru could've been cut with a knife. Not only was the line long and the wait time excessive, when we got our drinks, we were both looking at each other with confused. Looks as they both tasted different than they should. We couldn't really pinpoint it, but one thing we both noticed was the ice in each of the beverages was very minimal, which normally I wouldn't mind. But the ice itself seemed not well formed, and either hollow or melted. Maybe this location is having issues with their ice machine? No free drink, voucher or apology was offered at the window, which is fine but they could've made up for everything with good customer service. And it wasn't even like one vehicle was holding at the line and they got all of us through after they cleared, it was just all around slow. When we pulled out of the parking lot, we counted 16 cars in line in the drive-thru! This was an extremely disappointing breakfast and kind of put a damper in our morning. It was definitely a waste of $23. read more

Caribou Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

This Caribou is amazing! The staff is so friendly and attentive and they make amazing drinks! I personally love the caramel high rise and shaken espresso. Their speciality lattes like the campfire or mint condition do come pretty sweet, but you can always just ask for less syrup or an extra shot of espresso to even that out. Overall, the shop always seems clean, the staff are so sweet, and the drinks are lovely. read more

Walked in and right away loved the place. Set up and appearance were great. Plenty of room and great visit atmosphere. We were served quickly and the help seemed welcoming. I was in a group of 5 and four of us got drinks. Each one different. I got a fresh brew and raspberry/white chocolate scone. My drink lacked flavor and it was just black coffee-my normal order. The others got mixed drinks and felt the same. I did try a cold pumpkin spice latte which I liked but overall not a great drink experience. The store itself was real nice. Maybe just an off day? read more

Caribou Coffee - Raspberry white chocolate scone and fresh brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

Friendly, fast service. Nice seating both indoors and out and coffee was made as ordered. Would recommend!

This caribou is a bit larger than most. It had a variety of tables and furniture, making it a great place to study. Sometimes it's a bit too noisy with other customers. Another bonus is the outdoor seating - metal patio furniture + umbrellas. The drinks are the usually caribou quality (good, especially the nitro), and are made in the same amount of time one would expect. All of the baristas seem to be friendly (sometimes overly friendly). My favorite barista is Amanda with their cool makeup and hair color! read more

Caribou Coffee - Nitro high rise with almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

A coffee place that has everything I look for if I'm just popping in and out for a brew. Efficient friendly baristas with two people working the counter. Efficient use of Covid-19 restrictions, which is why I'll just pop in and out. Mainly fresh brewed coffee the way it should be, piping hot, robust and the correct way to ask for a membership number. Some Caribou's ask up front, some I have to tell them as they sigh and roll their eyes for having to enter a few more keystrokes. If I were to hang around there is plenty of indoor seating in pleasant surroundings and appears to be a nice place to get some work done. read more

I certainly never thought I'd write a review on a Caribou, but when you get wonderful service and a clean place to study you have to! I've been there twice in the past couple weeks on a weekday to study. The tables are clean, they sanitize door knobs, bathrooms, etc at least every hour. The baristas are super friendly and seem to love their job, which is awesome! They have three tables open right now with covid and it's great to have a place you can actually sit down with your coffee! They're doing an outstanding job! read more

The coffee is great, the service is good. I'm giving it five stars though simply for the memories this place holds for me; it was the prime study and homework place for my friends and I in high school read more

The snot at the register stared at me with her hands on her hip when I walked up to the register and just looked at me like an idiot when I asked her a question... seriously when do people develop manners - is it age 8? And then there's a level of professionalism a human should have in order to have a job that deals with the public. Why do these rude snots that have no clue have these jobs??? Why???? THEN THEY MADE MY $6 COFFEE WRONG! Joke. Total joke. Never again. read more

This is the spot the locals stop at to socialize, grab coffee to go, mix and mingle. It's a great location with friendly and helpful staff - and of course those espresso drinks we've all started to crave regularly. I come from out of state and never miss stopping here at least once. Thanks, Caribou, for making me feel like a welcome local and for the super tasty energy boosts! Sidenote: the baristas here crank out the drinks with a swift efficiency which makes most Starbucks locations seem like they're staffed by sloths! read more

I LOVE this caribou! The baristas are so wonderful, and always so friendly! I always get the mint condition mocha, and I order it non fat (but not northern lite because I don't like sugar free syrup) But fun fact, THEY HAVE FAT FREE WHIP CREAM!! read more

This is my choice for comfiest coffee shop in Woodbury. If I'm going to have coffee for the sole purpose of socializing, this is my pick. It's a small-ish location with typical Caribou 'up-North' decor. The store is set up well - there are three separate seating areas, so it doesn't feel as though you're surrounded by people, even when all the tables are full. There is also one fireplace in the corner, with a sofa and some armchairs, which is the prize seating location here. This location is connected to a Bruegger's. They don't sell newspapers inside, but do have machines outside where they sell NYTimes, Financial Times, etc. read more

High speed FREE wifi. Amazing coffee and espresso drinks. Reasonably priced. Great place to relax with friends or get some work done. Bruggers Bagels next door. A FIREPLACE. This is quite the gem in Woodbury, MN. We're lucky to have Caribou here in the Midwest. (It doesn't exist in California!) I'll pass this on - I learned this today - their green tea lemonade has no green tea in it. It's merely a "green tea lemonade" syrup. Bummer. :( Be prepared to see local friends there! It's always buzzing with people. read more

Caribou Coffee - Sitting in my favorite corner. Shot of a majority of the store. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

Slowest caribou ever. They don't say the names loud enough for people to hear and people are questioning they are getting the correct drink. Don't bother ordering ahead because it's still not going to be ready when you get there. read more

This is one of my favourite hangouts when I want to get out of the house. Square tables are usually available, many have power outlets, so it's a comfortable place to take the laptop and get some work done. The staff is usually friendly and efficient, and the drinks are good. read more

I started going here once I realized Starbucks up the road was a PITA to get to and the service was sub-par. This place is quick and easy stop in for coffee... the staff has been friendly and quick every time I have stopped. Order is always up on quality and filled properly. Would get 5 star if had drive through. read more

Love me some Caribou and Bagels! This location is great, convient in the middle of busy Woodbury with a nice drive through. The workers are usually friendly, and helpful and it's always nice and clean. I usually go out of my way for this Caribou and Einstein even though I have a Caribou near me since I love the Bagels and sandwiches. It can get a bit busy as the location is prime. Yummy coffee, yummy food, good service. Can't argue! read more

A great place to grab a Cooler on a hot summer day, or relax by the fireplace with a hot mocha while the snow falls outside. They have outdoor seating too if the temp outside is between sweltering and freezing. Located in Woodbury's City Center, Caribou is always a convenient stop for a coffee break. Also a great place to get some work done (free WiFi) or meet a client. The staff is always friendly, prompt, and most importantly, attentive to your specific drink order. I would recommend 2 scoops of chocolate covered espresso beans in your Chocolate Cooler! This place is a Woodbury institution - and in my opinion, better than Starbucks any day! read more

By far best Caribou Coffee I've been to. I'm new to the area and the employees here know what I order and my name! I didn't expect that in such a populated area. Service fantastic and nice atmosphere! Love love love this place. read more

Drive through. Ordered a mint snowdrift no whip. Pulled up and got a oreo snowdrift with whip. Told them it was the wrong one and they got rude when I told them to make what I ordered. When they handed the mint one to me it had whip on it and they were silent no apology or anything. Likely not returning. read more

I got a white chocolate turtle mocha, hubby got a mango orange key - lime smoothie, and we both got two chocolate croissants. First of all, there was a fly in the bakery display case, and it landed on the croissants. After we brought this to the staff's attention, she said "oh, I'll get it out for you" why not give us some new croissants? She seemed stuck-up. The croissants were hard and seemed stale, not fluffy and buttery like croissants are supposed to be. The coffee wasn't able to make up for the bad service. They only got two stars because they were speedy. read more

This is our favorite (and closest) Caribou coffee shop. The staff knows us and our usual orders. They are always super friendly and very fast with the coffee. Highly recommended! read more

I used to love this caribou...however they weren't able to take the cheese off of my sandwich even though the workers at this same location did it last time. I am frustrated because I drove a long way for this sandwich. I feel directly attacked. They obviously don't cater towards any dietary needs. I'm over this. read more

It was very very busy today. I appreciate that the employees didn't seem flustered but it's the longest I've ever waited for coffee anywhere. The coffee was standard for a caribou which I feel are pretty consistent. I've been to 3 Caribou's in as many days. I just wish there were more in different states. read more

Starbucks has lost a loyal customer. This is the best coffee I've ever had! I had the turtle mocha with white chocolate...so awesome.

Super friendly service and a quick turn around on orders. Only complaint is the lack of parking..... Love the white chocolate turtle.

Just moved here form California and stopped in early this morning to get coffee and the two ladies handling the front were kind and talked to me. When I got my coffe, it tasted great! I love the service and the coffe!! read more

This is one coffee shop I enjoy coming to . It's a great place to come and relax , use your devices to fb , text, read your emails , I've even FaceTime at caribou !! There are times it can get noisy , but that's the hang out place for all people of different race , creed , color or age . Saying all that it's a great place full of wonderful people and great coffee !!! read more

I mean they're ok. Customer Service could be a tiny bit better. But overall the drinks are delicious. Good place to bring your date or just a good hangout place. Better than starbucks, in my opinion. I mean They've never messed up one of my orders, like starbucks does. Defs will be coming back here! read more
