My first time here, I got an Apple Pie Latte (they offer it hot, iced, or blended, I got it hot) and a bacon egg and cheese bagel. Pricing similar to a Caribou or Starbucks. Food was made very quickly, very high quality and was really tasty! I don't know where they get the croissants or is they make them themselves or what, but they were amazing, flakey and not too greasy, very fresh and warm. I'm not usually a coffee drinker, but I liked the Apple Pie Latte. I'm definitely coming back. Also, not sure their hours, but they were open at 11:15am on a Saturday in November.

I know you never know what someone's going through, but it should not excuse rude behavior. Before we could thank her for the drinks, she closed the window on us and left. The ambience was nice. The building looked clean and well kept, but like I stated before, lady seemed like she hated her job. Lastly, we also had ordered oatmeal at the speaker, but she never punched it in the till. When we tried to ask if we could try to pay for it at the window, she was gone. Overall, the place is nice, it's just the service could use some tightening up.

A few Thursdays back, I was driving in a snowstorm. It had two parts to it. The first was a lighter…read moreversion in Minnesota that hugged I-94. The other was a stronger, nastier version in North Dakota, appearing around I-29. I left the Twin Cities and headed northbound to Winnipeg. I saw a sign for this Caribou Coffee in Fergus Falls. I needed a final drink from it for 2024, so I exited to go find it. It was extremely icy in Fergus Falls. A combination of fluctuating temperatures, and melting and freezing snow caused a lot of ice on the roads. My rental vehicle didn't have winter tires. It made me appreciate having them on my own car, but marvelled at how I managed without them living in Minnesota and Manitoba. I ultimately found this Caribou Coffee. I carefully drove over to the area and parked. I then placed my order through the Caribou Coffee app. I got the following items: - Medium blue raspberry energy drink - Grilled cheese It was a combo where you could get two items for $10. I then headed to the drive-thru. The entrance is by the far right side of the store, past Jimmy John's drive-thru. I hadn't talked to a single person all day until I got to the drive-thru speaker. I got a friendly woman. What I wasn't expecting was how horrible my voice sounded. It was squeaky and I was surprised that the woman understood me. I guess that a combination of a sore throat and taking in a Wild game the night before wasn't great for my voice. I am grateful that the two women at this store interacting with me were friendly and could understand me. I sounded like I was going through puberty again. One of the woman let me know that the store was out of grilled cheese. I asked what other sandwich I could get. She was great rattling off the list. I ended up saying yes to a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. It didn't take long for my order be ready. I thanked the woman who handed me my items in my crazy-sounding voice and headed off. My bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel was yummy. The cheese was stretchy. The bacon and egg were delicious on the most perfect bagel. It was my first time having this sandwich. I'd get it again. I was happy enjoying my blue raspberry energy drink for the last time last year. It hit the spot and gave me enough of a caffeine boost to get me through a long travel day in a snowstorm. I liked my stay here. Folks here were kind and thankfully understood squeaky voices like mine. The food and drink were yummy. I hope that I'll get to try a grilled cheese someday at any Caribou Coffee location. (20)

We had to wait a bit for our food, but both of us said the wait was worth it. I had the croque madam. I spend my winter months in the south of France and have had several of these and this one easily is in the top three of those that I've ever tasted. Flavorful and a pleasant portion. The next time I'm in the area, I plan to stop again and order something else. The ambience is small town café, but it is clean and pleasant. Next door is a market that has an amazing array of higher and goods I would recommend you check that out also.
