A great coffee spot at Friendly Center. Coffee drinks galore, and all the ones we've tried over our many visits have been excellent. What really stands out for me is the large variety of food. I love a coffee shop that actually offers solid food options, and this one really does. Sweet, savory, breakfast, and lunch menus with plenty to choose from. Today I ordered the chorizo burrito. Flavorful, hot, and delicious. I honestly haven't been disappointed any time we've come here. The interior is great as well with plenty of seating, tables, and comfy leather chairs. Relax, sip, eat, work, play...this is a great spot for all. read more

Coffee is okay, however it is pricey and the parking lot is like driving through hell. Staff is very nice but the interior has a very Corporate feel that makes it very uncomfortable to sit inside. Outside seating area is nice if it isn't super hot outside. Personally I think there are much better local options that would cost less. read more

Coffee is always good. The issue is the people that camp out for hours working and using the free WiFi. All these types of places need to limit the WiFi to an hour to force people to leave. When I spend $8 on a coffee I like to sit in the shop and enjoy it while it's hot, not sit in my car drinking it or waiting till I get home and it's lukewarm at best. read more

The staff welcomed us into the shop. Help us decide to find a cold coffee and GF breakfast too. I got the honey lavender espresso Shaker with coconut milk because it was my birthday and I got a free drink. That was awesome being a member!!! The bacon and gouda souffle was amazingly delicious. We got to sit in leather chair that were amazingly comfortable. I was on crutches and the staff were amazingly sweet and brought me my coffee and breakfast. I wasn't expecting that. My mom didn't have to balance two drinks and two breakfast. But I always love going into caribou coffee the staff are always friendly, help you to pick what to drink or eat. Plus, the manager is awesome too! read more

Good vibe, amazing playlist, kindness customer service and quickly I got my coffee. The quality of the coffee surprise me! I super recommend the turtle mocha! Love it! The most cool thing is that they have a lot of options that you can choose for cup holder, with some cool and funny phrases. read more

I love love love Caribou. Always my go-to coffee spot when I'm in the area. Only my second time ordering food from here, and I haven't been disappointed. The bagels were ready quickly and piping hot. The only thing I could complain about would be the done-ness of the bacon. It was just a little chewy/underdone. I decided to try something new for coffee and this time I went for the Lavender Honey Iced Latte. I've been sipping it for a couple hours now and still haven't totally decided how I feel about it. It's not bad... but I don't think I'd ever pair coffee and lavender again. The honey is nice though. My favorite thing about this place is that it feels personal. The baristas each have a little clipboard hung up with facts about them and decorated however they want. Everyone working here is always beyond friendly and whatever you order will be on point. read more

First I will comment on the lack of walking space, I felt like it was REALLY tight in there and I felt like I was in the way no matter where I was. I don't like being in super crowded places so this was a -1 star for me BUT the coffee was pretty good. I will say it was more bitter than I would have liked it to be, but it had the sweetness to counteract it. The chocolate croissant was AMAZING! I got it warmed. All of the baristas were very friendly and I liked how they had tiny clipboards on the wall with their hobbies and info so you could know them better. read more

We're lucky to have so many coffee shops in the area so it's hard to choose a favorite but I really love caribou coffee! There's plenty of parking and it's a nice place to get work done. Their prices are comparable to other coffee chains and they have a ton of options. I love how many non-coffee drinks they have. One of my favorite things is also their hours. They're open until 9pm. As a night owl it's hard to find coffee places to get work done in the evening so I really appreciate that. They also do a question of the day for 10 cents off which is fun. All of the employees have always been really friendly. Last time I was there, the employee taking my order was great and helped me choose something that wasn't too sweet and had a lot of caffeine so I settled on the caramel shaken espresso. I think the area is great for studying. It is a little small but they've done a good job of maximizing space and seating. I haven't tried food there but I will update if I do! read more

If you are in Friendly Shopping Center and need your coffee fix, this is the place! Great variety of drinks, snacks and breakfast sandwiches. Seating inside and canopy covered tables outside. It's located on the corner from Chucky Cheese. I ordered the Pumpkin White chocolate Mocha. It's delicious and rich. I also got a sandwich with egg, provolone, spinach and artichoke. It was ooey gooey and amazing! read more

A rainy day with busy traffic at Friendly Center was quickly forgotten once my daughter and I stepped into the familiar-themed Caribou decor, a reminder of Caribou Coffee's home state of MN. We traveled from Winston-Salem to visit this Caribou since it was the closest one to her. It was worth the visit since I was able to redeem my free birthday drink that was loaded in my Caribou app. We ordered our iced coffee drinks - crafted presses- and waited a fair time due to the steady stream of customers and orders. The drinks tasted good as expected, and were quickly finished as we sat in the store. For my to-go beverage, I decided to try a blackberry-lemon carbonated Bou-sted drink with caffeine. Caribou Coffee shops, I think, provide a large array of beverage choices and with nearly each one, customization. Coolers, lattes, crafted press, cold press, hot chocolate (best chain), tea, and more. They also carry food items like the egg sandwiches and bagels, now very common in coffee chains. If you're looking for a coffee chain with something for everyone and a different experience (than that other famous chain), take a step inside and enjoy. The employees were very helpful and friendly. The interior was well-worn, but with the "up North" cabin feel, it was acceptable. read more

Coffee at Caribou is better than decent, the flavor is fresh, pleasant, consistent. Not one of our frequent faves because it is very busy and boisterous, sometimes hard to find a table if you want to sit and chill as you sip their brew. That is a good problem for Caribou to have However, this time of year I will be dropping in regularly, because of their spicy mocha latte! I prefer dark chocolate, half-sweet with oat milk. The chili flavor is subtle and gives the perfect sweet to spicy blend. Must give a shout-out to the upbeat, friendly staff working their buns off on any given day! See you soon! read more

For being a chain coffee shop this location is one of my fav--they have great coffee, service and pupcups too! I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is a bit small but there are lots of seating options. My recommendations would be: ·HO HO MINT MOCHA ICED CRAFTED PRESS - Cold press with a splash of milk and a hint of real chocolate and mint ·ICED CRAFTED PRESS - Cold press with a splash of milk ·CARAMEL HIGH RISE - Espresso and steamed milk combined with real caramel; topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce ·ICED MATCHA VANILLA TEA LATTE - Matcha powder, milk, and vanilla; served over ice. ·MAPLE WAFFLE SANDWICH - Chicken sausage, gouda and a cage-free egg between two maple waffles. ·CHICKEN CHORIZO BURRITO (ask for Cholula packets)- Chicken chorizo, Swiss & jack cheese, cage-free scrambled eggs, diced potatoes & green chiles, wrapped in a red pepper tortilla. FYI look out for their fun trivia board up by the cashiers/drink orders. If you answer correctly you get small discount (5-10 cents off your drink). You'd be surprised at what you can guess right ;) read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at this coffee shop. The baristas were super nice! It was my first time there and I am not a coffee drinker. I like frappe but with no coffee. So I really didn't know how to explain what I wanted. But the barista took her time and explained it to me and this place was busy. I loved that because whenever places are busy, customer service goes out the window and attitudes show up. Not here! I had the Caramel Cooler and a chorizo burrito. The burrito was EVERYTHING! Sorry, no picture because I was enjoying the view of the place and talking to my friend who frequents this shop. Ok, enough of how amazing this place is, go check it out!! read more

I can honestly say I'm a big fan of Caribou coffee. It's a unique blend that tends to be less bitter than Starbucks coffee IMO. I can see why it got so popular. As for this location, it's a great spot with a lot of character and charm. We stop in here regularly when we are at this mall, and the atmosphere always impresses. It's way better when you get to show up in the warmer months and enjoy this spot's outdoor vibe. It has a great view of the neighboring shops and people coming and going. While it may not be a lush garden view, the connected vibe is very appealing. But maybe that's my pandemic mind speaking, enjoying the company of others around at a reasonable distance. The variety of drinks here doesn't feel as big as other chains (like Starbucks that of course every coffee shop gets compared to), but they pretty much hit everything important. Really it feels more like they just didn't invent a fancy name for every variety. read more

If it wasn't for my partner being a coffee junkie, I'd never would of step foot in here. But I'm glad we did. Ambiance was great and so were the drinks! We met up with some friends for coffee and enjoyed our time there. They have this fun trivia board up by the cashiers and if you answer correctly you get small discount! So I really liked that! Besides having a great time, service was quick. And I could definitely tell there was some good coffee in the drinks, my legs wouldn't stop shaking hahah. Glad I got a smoothie with no caffeine. Otherwise, I'd be up all night. 10/10 check it out! read more

Like many of us, I grew up as a child loving the smell of coffee but hating the taste of it. I could never understand why people drank that nasty black water. And then when I was 16 I went to Israel for the first time and worked as a volunteer on a kibbutz. For those of you who don't know what a kibbutz is, in the early years of Israel a large percentage of the country was comprised of kibbutzim where people would pool their resources and talents and develop a communal farm/agricultural type of living so to speak where everybody shared equally in the work force and the results of their hard work. The kibbutz provided you with a home, education and food and shelter and medicine and you in turn provided a good work ethic and a commitment to the betterment of the kibbutz. One might say it was a form of socialism whereby everybody had the same. It worked beautifully in Israel for many, many years until the last years when people from the kibbutz started leaving and going into the cities where there was unlimited potential for income and assets. One of the popular things in the kibbutz was "aruchat arbah" which means a meal at 4:00 p.m. Sort of like English tea at 4PM! Every day families would get together for tea or coffee and some snacks and visiting. I was "adopted" by the Yaffe family and came to aruchat arbah religiously every afternoon. My friend Amir was determined to have me like coffee, so one day he handed me this cup filled with sugar and milk and coffee and I loved it. It was sweet and creamy and delicious and I was hooked. To this day I cannot drink a cup of coffee without all the trimmings. I do not understand how people can drink it black. And yet, the first thing I do in the morning is grind my beans get out my French press, my fake creamer and fake sweetener and go at it So yesterday, my daughter and I met with a donor of Community Theatre of Greensboro in hopes that he and his wife would support our 2021 production of The Wizard of Oz. We met at Caribou Coffee at Friendly shopping center. Since it was not too crowded and we had all been vaccinated, we decided to meet inside. Parking is easy since it's at Friendly Shopping Center and there is ample seating inside and outside. I broke out of my box and joined my prospective donor for a cup of ice cold green tea. The atmosphere is laid back and conducive for conversation or relaxation. Nice wood paneling throughout. Caribou Coffee has been one of my go-to places when asking for donations for the theater and it continues to come through for me. Our donor enjoyed the green tea and the conversation so much that they made a $5K contribution to our theater. How could I not like Caribou Coffee after that? LOL Just for the record, I think all of these coffee houses are outrageously overpriced. We had two cups of tea and my daughter had a little biscuit sandwich and the bill came close to $20. That's crazy! I won't even go to a Starbucks because I know it would probably be double so Caribou or the Green Bean downtown seem to be my go to these days when I'm needing to meet someplace central. So the next time you want to fundraise for your favorite charity or organization think of me and Caribou Coffee and go for it! It has always brought me luck. And in the meantime, I will continue to drown my bitter coffee with fake cream and sugar. It has served me well for 52 years! Why stop now??? read more

Ok, I like le 'bou (as me and my friends call it), but the location at The Friendly Center in Greensboro is one of my least favorite locations. Why? Because it's always so packed that it's very difficult to get a table, they have a "kids" section with kids toys and books so parents can bring their children (go figure--- kids in a coffee shop -- THAT SUCKS), and the space is so small that you smell like ground coffee beans when you leave (sometimes I have to air out my jacket like I've been in a smokey bar all night). On the plus side, Caribou's coffee is tastier than Starbucks and many other mainstream coffee shops, their new breakfast sandwiches are tasty and low in calories, and they offer free refills (at least this location does). And, even despite its faults, I admit that I still frequent le 'bou... so, it's not ALL bad. My recommendation is that they move to a more spacious location in the Friendly Center. I think it would make a world of difference! read more

Having been to Caribou Coffee a couple of times now, I'm solidified in my thinking, that it's just coffee! I mean of course it's coffee, right? I'm not a devout Starbucks guy, but I do appreciate their coffee, freshness of their products, standards, and the employees. Caribou has just a standard coffee with no distinct flavor to it. At 830pm on a Friday night it was not the freshest tasting either. The Poppyseed Cake slice was moist, but lacked the wow factor. The interior is really cool, and it begs for you to just hang out with it's lodge feel fireplace, multi levels, couches, and wooden decor. Although on this rainy Friday night they didn't have the fireplace working. Admittedly not the guru of all things coffee, but Caribou is just seems to miss the grind. read more

I come here often to draw people on my iPad or paper. They are very nice about it, while at the same time, they have great drinks. I usually order the chilled green tea. They make it from scratch. It's not from a bottle. It's a great drink. They also have other great choices. As for the atmosphere, it's warm looking (though it is often chilly, so be sure to either wear long sleeves or bring a coat) and small and cozy like a hole in the wall store... which I love. It's quiet, and a great place for small groups to meet. They have a fake fire, but it adds to the atmosphere, nevertheless. See you there! read more

Pretty nice place, seems clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and I appreciated when I asked for a non-dairy latte they had multiple choices, which was Almond milk, Oat milk, and coconut milk. That is really cool!!! read more

Let's talk about the best coffee, Caribou. This place is amazing first and foremost the decor is so cute and warm and inviting this is great for a business meetings, a date, literally anything.

I had a great first visit to Caribou. The baristas were very friendly. I ordered the french roast and an apple fritter. The french roast was ok. I liked the apple fritter and they also warm it up in an oven rather then a microwave. If you order the coffee of the day you get free refills. They do have free wifi and lots of seats. I will be back next time I go to friendly center. read more

I had a turkey bacon and egg white sandwich ($3.50) here today. They load it with cheese and give it a good zap. Though it's not a tenderloin biscuit or chicken fried, It's actually pretty tasty. I won't be a regular but every once in a while it works. Sorry Real Bacon, I cheated on you. But Daddy will always come back home to you. I was too ashamed of my actions to snap a pic of the sandwich. read more

Super cute! I love the layout. It feels very homey. It has a mountain cabin-like feel. I was introduced to it not that long ago and I kept going back for their Campfire Mocha, which as you can guess I really liked. I haven't tried anything else, but they have interesting options for coffee, especially seasonally. Definitely a great alternative to the regular Starbucks. Their sandwiches are much smaller than I expected, but still good nonetheless. I like how they have a trivia question of the day and post pictures with little details about their employees. Thought that was cute. The employees are all really nice as well. They have seating options outside and inside. Extension cords all throughout for those that need it. I just wish it had more space! Location is great. It's in the Friendly shopping center... so, it's a nice place to walk for a coffee break in the middle of shopping. read more
