Yet another coffee addition to High Point has opened. Caribou is a chain with other locations in the area, offering drive-thru and walk up options. There is a bit of outdoor seating, but limited parking - This is obviously designed to be a to-go business.
First impressions: I don't like the parking lot and drive thru layout. It's a tight layout with limited parking. The drive-thru itself is narrow and has several weird curves. Between the thick layer of rubber on the curb and the damaged reflectors, it seems lots of people are having trouble navigating this design.
I chose the walk-up window instead, and thought it was interesting that only a basic menu was posted there compared to the full menu posted in the drive-thru. Either way, my wife and I both ordered iced coffee. Service wasn't bad, but I certainly didn't see any smiles either.
As for the most important part - the coffee - unremarkable. Not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way for either, and there's plenty of other options in town to choose from. read more
