Bearaboo Coffee Escape - Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cloquet, Minnesota

Recently we stopped by Bearaboo Coffee on the way from the Twin Cities to Ely and a week later on our return. I notice that reviews for Bearaboo are mostly pretty old so a new one is needed. We were very pleased with everything - food service and ambiance. First Bearaboo is independently owned - it's not Starbucks - which is refreshing in many ways. The decor is homey. You order at the front, seat yourself and they bring your order to the table. Everyone on the staff seems happy and cheerful and you feel that your business is appreciated. The staff in many corporate establishments such as Starbucks etc appear to not care whether you are there or not. Food was good and I recommend the chicken salad sandwich on cranberry bread. read more

Cute non-corporate coffee with comfortable seating, ample charging options and tasty coffee and food options. Reduced 1 star due to the lack of any dairy free bakery options (despite having gluten, nut and soy free options) and closing at 5p (I like hanging out later). read more

Yummy coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Perfect fuel for day hiking recommend to anyone in the area or passing through.

Awesome staff.. freaking amazing bagel sandwich.. lots of places to sit and enjoy your food and chi tea..i think that its great that its not a franchise..supporting locally is very important.. read more

This place is alright. We were able to get out food quickly while we were there. Me and my dad's bagel sandwiches were good, but my mom's bagel had barely any cream cheese on it at all which is kinda ridiculous. read more

We just pulled off driving thru to grab a coffee & found this wonderful coffee house with great coffees, chais & smoothies. Grabbed a scone but has a surprising menu. Efficient, personable service from the multiple baristas. What a gem of a find!!! read more

I'm a huge Bearaboo fan! We spent the last week on vacation in a nearby cabin. Thankfully, we found this place for breakfast one morning. I loved the iced vanilla Chai Tea and homemade cranberry Orange muffins. We came back two more times and tried different items. The breakfast bagels are delicious and filling. And the sandwiches and paninis are great too. But the service surpasses it all! Every single person that helped us was beyond friendly. They seem to really love their jobs. One morning we ordered sandwiches so we could have a picnic later. But we didn't have an ice pack for our little cooler. One of the servers happily filled a sack of ice for us. I ended up buying a cute Bearaboo t-shirt because I loved this place so much. I'm already wearing it today in Dallas, Texas. Go try this place, you'll see what I'm talking about. read more

Bagel sandwich hit the spot with a iced coffee and service was excellent, will recommend this spot to others !

I ordered a large latte this morning and tasted it half an hour after picking it up: plain black coffee. I was a little bummed and told a friend what had happened. They said the same thing happed to their entire order. Management needs to make sure their employees know what they are doing there. read more

Bearaboo Coffee Escape - a coffee shop with a counter and stools - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cloquet, Minnesota

This is a cute little coffee shop! It has a nice log cabin ambiance and friendly barista behind the counter. Bonus points for the adorable name and logo! The menu was pretty standard, but I really liked that they have a drive-through. It makes even more sense when you consider they're the closest coffee shop to the highway. My coffee wasn't very strong (latte) but I liked that they had both almond and soy milks for dairy-free options and they had a lot of Harney & Co. tea flavors (they even had two decaf varieties)! The espresso could have been stronger, but it was a nice little stop with friendly baristas! read more

Hidden Gem Friendly staff, great vegetarian food options, good coffee! Clean, cozy, and comfortable atmosphere. If you stop go here!!! They take credit cards. read more

We came in from California for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and were desperately seeking good coffee that didn't come from a chain. Thank you Bearaboo Escape!! They had everything we needed and it tasted great. Added bonus, we didn't have to get out of our warm car and just went through the drive thru! The super sweet barista also gave our pup a snack! We'll be back every day while we're here! read more

Bearaboo Coffee Escape - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cloquet, Minnesota

Cutest little coffee shop in the area! They had a wide assortment of pastries and some sandwich options. I definitely recommend the raspberry white chocolate iced coffee. read more

I chose this place randomly as a stop on my road trip up to Duluth. I didn't realise it was a drive-thru and that was a very happy discovery for us lazier drivers. However, that's where my good impressions wane. I ordered a medium iced mocha which came to a very steep $5.12 after tax. The mocha was more milk and powdered cocoa than coffee. No one wants to pay $5 for iced and chocolate milk. I would definitely recommend a stronger espresso blend when making flavoured coffee drinks. read more

What a cute stop just off of the highway. The service was quick and friendly. The dark chocolate mocha and breakfast sandwiches were good. I love that they use locally made mugs to serve dine-in drinks. read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop! They fight for social justice, they support their community, and they offer some of the best service I've experienced! I love the different aspects of decor. Their menu has tons of variety and everything always tastes fresh and leaves you craving more when you're already stuffed. Food proportions are large, their desserts and muffins are some of our favorites, and their drinks are the perfect amount of sweetness balanced with the espresso notes. They're definitely always super busy so we try and always make sure we have plenty of time if we're just going through the drive thru. But that just speaks to how much everyone loves this place. It's always a blur of baristas bustling around behind the counter compared to some coffee shops where they just stand around and argue over who has to do what. Their teamwork is to be commended. We are so thankful for these guys! read more

Nice cozy cafe in Cloquet! Very clean, nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommended if you're around! read more

Bearaboo Coffee Escape - Ham and swiss sandwich! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cloquet, Minnesota

Don't let the location (next to walmart and sharing a wall with a car wash) turn you off. Very cute and clean coffee shop. Friendly staff, good selection of hot and cold food. Perfect place to grab a breakfast sandwich and stretch your legs on a road trip. To clear up confusion I had based on other reviews.. they do have a drive thru but also have ample seating inside (for maybe 25 people). Nice atmosphere too! read more

I really want to like this place but the drinks are very poorly made ... I just got an iced latte that made me physically I'll due to the amount of sugar they put in it. I went up and said that it was mind boggling how sweet it was am was forced to buy a regular coffee. This place is off my list for good. read more

The chicken salad sandwich on wild rice bread was quite simply amazing - the perfect combination of flavors! read more

Try the pistachio muffin. The drive through line was full the entire hour. The service was excellent.

Had a raspberry truffle latte with a breakfast sandwich and the bagels they use for it are incredible. And the coffee is insanely good and smooth. I think the only think they should add to the sandwich is some kind of spread or aioli or something. Other than that it was good read more

Amazing coffee, breakfast and service! We stopped on our way out of Duluth and are so glad we did. The drive through gal was helpful and friendly. She got part of our order together and had us park while the breakfast sandwiches were made. It didn't take long and when the food was delivered, there was a handwritten note and fruit snacks for the kids. Over the top customer service that made our day! read more

SO cute! Amazing coffee/tea and food- they have pastries and also salads and sandwiches. Clean bathrooms and friendly barista.

Very nice and cute little coffee shop. Has all of the typical coffee shop options, fresh baked goods, and daily sandwich and soup specials. Comfortable seating, nice decor, and prices that are similar to most other coffee places. This is my third visit here and I have always been pleased by the friendly service and the good quality of the coffee and food. read more

Stopped in for a light/late lunch while staying in town for the night. Cute place with great wraps and sandwiches!

Yum! Mocha with 1/2 Milk chocolate and 1/2 SF white chocolate. Also had the special tea Lisa Demuth introduced us to!

This is my go to Monday-Friday morning stop. Amazing coffee, kind and courteous staff, and great environment. Love that they have a drive through! Service is speedy! Food (sandwiches mostly) are so yummy! read more

Great coffee! Great breakfast sandwiches! Good homemade treats - it's got a nice cozy comfortable feel with great music - I enjoy this place

Very good coffee and a quieter atmosphere (except for the occasional espresso machine whirring of course)! Love their dark chocolate mocha --not too sweet. They have a nice selection of breakfast & lunch sandwiches at reasonable prices. There are several comfy booths and other tables to take full advantage of the high-speed WI-FI. It is nicely decorated with an "up north" cabin feel with knotty pine walls. The staff has always been delightful and great service. Did you know they have a drive-through window? Awesome, if you need a quick coffee fix. Don't miss it... it's a block from Walmart and sandwiched right next to the carwash. But you would never know it, once you are are inside! read more

Great service. Great food the muffins were exceptional. The coffee was very good. Atmosphere was nice and clean - very inviting. I would definitely suggest trying this small and quaint coffee shop. I found it very good in ways. read more
