Then they started disappearing and became harder and harder to find. So when I saw this location was close to the GRR airport, it was worth a detour to stop in and see if was still good. I found my coffee niche since the old days and it's a hot mocha with oat milk. So that's what I ordered and then came the questions. Milk chocolate or Dark Chocolate? Or Mixed? Whaaaaaaaaa? Then she said they steam the chocolate chips with the milk to make the mocha... whaaaaaaaaaa? No syrup or mix or powder... Sign me up for more! The nice woman served the coffee and there were two chocolate covered espresso beans in the little divot. Excellent idea! More chocolate and more coffee! The mocha itself was amazing. Their coffee was still smooth and silky on the palate. I enjoyed it during my long car ride after the flight! If you're not familiar with Caribou Coffee, I'd say give it a try because it's everything I remember about a good coffee chain. Don't judge them on their K-Cups if you've had those. Get something in the store and hope they open more and more of these! Give a big horn-y animal a try!

I got one of those peach coolers along with a pumpkin white mocha cooler blended of course and a normal pumpkin cooler. All of which was immaculate. Starbucks and Biggbys has nothing on Caribou coffee. Not to mention they have an extra large size and they're more affordable than most of your run-of-the-mill coffee places I do however wish that they had a lot more options when it comes to their drinks whether it be frozen hot or iced there's not a lot to choose from and I like a lot of variety so seeing more variety in their menu in the future would really be nice especially with food as well.

We were at our vet across the street so Nate and I decided to stop by for a treat. They were featuring Elf-themed drinks, so I got the candy cane forest mocha and Nate ordered the swirly twirly sugar cookie latte, lol. We both had a chuckle at the silly names but they do go with the movie. The person taking our order was super patient and friendly, then had us "scoot around to the window" which always makes me laugh out loud, like do they hate having to say that? Our drinks were handed over quickly and they were sweet and delicious. They do serve some food items, as well as lots of other hot and cold drinks, teas, smoothies, Red Bull infusions(???!!), and blended drinks. I would say it's a pretty similar menu to Biggby. Scooter's is a drive through only, no inside space at all.

So far I've only had a plain coffee and a mocktail, but both were very good! We also received a bag of coffee beans for Christmas that were really a treat to grind and brew at home. They sell whole beans or ground coffee, which is great for those of us who can't get into town as much as we'd like to pick up a coffee. They're a great additional to downtown Rockford, and I'm excited to watch them grow!

The woman at the register seemed to be annoyed the minute we walked up and for a new business, it's not time to get comfortable yet. The sandwich I ordered for $6 was smaller than my fist (and my hands are very small), extremely salty, and was made very sloppy. The trash was beyond overflowing. The tables had a mesh fabric that looks to be made from a coffee sack. Great for ambiance and aesthetics but the cleanliness of it was concerning. The pop options were Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Cherry Coke. Loafs and muffins were displayed nicely on the counter but not covered to keep fresh. Decor seemed very sloppy as well with not a direct aesthetic unless the aesthetic is grey walls, grey floors, grey couch, the color teal that should've been discontinued in 2014, mom art, and a random outdoor water fountain.

I almost had a panic attack in my midsize SUV (but she's thick so...). It started off fine like "oh dang this is narrow but its a tiny corner lot so I get it." Then it quickly turned into my car sensors blowing up while I'm working out a 20-point turn to get around the corner without hitting the wall in front of me, the curb below me or the steel poles EVERYWHERE. But we made it. Rest assured. Next time, I'll just walk inside. :-)
