Caffeine, please
Ann H.

Hot chocolate. Nothing else to say about Caribou. It's the best hot chocolate of any coffee shop, yet. Caribou coffee is pretty standard coffee for a chain with the usual hot and cold drinks and seasonal choices and friendly enough employees, but for me, it's the hot chocolate that stands out. No powdered mixes here. They melt the chocolate (milk, dark, or white as options) with the steamer and then add the milk and heat again. Sometimes, if you're lucky, they'll be some melted chocolate at the bottom of your cup. I miss living near a Caribou, especially when the weather turns cold because of this treat. No matter what the weather, anytime I'm near one it's my go-to drink. My other standard used to be a breve, but they've not been very good over the last couple of years -- in any location . Either the barista doesn't understand what it is, or perhaps the company substitutes a lower quality cream or perhaps a standard milk. I don't know, but it's just doesn't taste the same. This airport location, near the MSP mall and the north security checkpoint is always busy, so plan accordingly. Get the coffee --- the cross fox and mahogany brews are decent and the caffeine content is there -- but if you've not tried the hot chocolate --- do that.

I actually really enjoy getting Caribou Coffee when I visit Minnesota. We don't have Caribou in California so I totally take advantage of it when I am traveling to MN. This year, they have their La Minita Peaberry specialty coffee. I couldn't resist and bought a bag and had it grind for my French Press. It was a light roast which has more caffeine actually. It was $20 a bag and totally worth it. The flavor was very smooth and balanced. I am so happy I did't miss this opportunity to bring some Caribou to Ca! Service at this location was fine and the ambiance was good. I got a seat and was able to work a little bit while I enjoyed the butter croissant. A good stop while you are waiting for your flight!

Excellent Caribou located right in the middle of baggage claim, you no longer have to walk all the way down the length of the corridor. Plenty of seating right in front as well as restrooms next door. You can find all the normal Caribou food items and service was fast and pleasant.

Not good! Latte was made very poorly and not flavorful at all. Fruit smoothie was full of artificial flavoring and barely any real fruit. I would never come back here again. Wanted to try this as it seemed to be a local chain that we did not have here back home in California and was very disappointed!

I had some time to kill between connecting flights and wanted to try this midwest coffee chain. Pumpkin chai was my favorite. It was full of pumpkin flavors. Honey crisp apple coffee was my other beverage. That was flavorful as well.

Grabbed a lumberjack breakfast sandwich and medium Americano before my flight out. I was impressed with how quickly the line moved and how kind the staff were. The food was $15 and the sandwich was large and filling. Coffee was okay. Overall 4 stars!

Medium nitro cold press

Busy location right after you clear the TSA check point to gates G1-8 Be prepare to wait in a long line to place your order. Had a very difficult time placing my order with the counter person. She kept repeating back the wrong items I wanted and after processing credit card they have a top request screen, really? After the unpleasant time of repeating my order 3 times. Now comes the other extended wait time for your coffee and the breakfast sandwich. 15 mins and counting after payment and my bagel sandwich is cold in the middle.

1st time at a Caribou Coffee & in MN!

I've had their packaged product before, but I wanted to try their store product while I had the opportunity. I'm a Dutch Bros girl. Die hard kinda girl!!! I told the lady so, because I often ask my Baristas to just make me their favorite drink. Well, I seem to have shook her world a bit too much. She didn't know how to respond. Her choices were "okay vanilla or caramel." Um, okay? Caramel. Can you see why I stick with my place??? So, this is an iced caramel coffee. ‍ It was quite watery, not super creamy, but it was good & it filled the void. Thanks.

Small decaf mocha latte
Stephanie D.

Can someone please tell me why almost no one has decaf iced coffee?!?!?!? Not all people can have regular and it's bullshit that I have to pay more for a damn latte that I don't even wanna be drinking. It's too much milk. I'd rather have an iced coffee!!!! I ended up getting a $7 small decaf mocha latte. STOP CHARGING SO DAMN MUCH!!!!! It was good and I like their chocolate but very upset it wasn't an iced coffee. Next time I'll walk over to Dunkin.

For years, whenever I've landed at Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport (MSP) or am flying back home, I always pass this Caribou Coffee in Linburgh (terminal 1). It's across from security and the escalator down to baggage claim. It also marks the start of concourse E. On Monday, it was my travel day back to Toronto. I got to the airport early and cleared security so quickly that I had a lot of time to spare. I decided to get my final 'bou fix for a bit. It was busy in this cafe. The lineup to order is on the left. You pick up your order on the right. A woman asked me if she was in the correct line to place an order. I pointed her into the right direction and she was thankful. There were a few customers ahead of me in the lineup. It moved fairly quickly. I got a nice woman at the counter. I couldn't hear her at first. Her mask muffled her voice. She said that she needed to change screens to look up my phone number associated with my rewards. She eventually found me in the system. I ordered a medium sparkling cherry limeade. I tend to get a large, but I didn't need my bladder to go into overdrive before boarding or during my flight. It took a bit of time to get my drink, as business was steady. It wasn't a horrible wait. It was perhaps seven minutes at the most. I found a comfy chair and sat down. I shared a tree stump that was a cool end table. There were outlets to power your laptops and such, including USB ports for your portable devices. My cherry limeade hit the spot. I love sparkling drinks. This one was perfect. The cherry and lime flavours were on point. It is likely my favourite tea here. The drinks here have low to no sugar, which make me happy. I killed a good hour sipping my tea and chilling before heading to my gate. It was a nice break. You have free wifi throughout the airport terminal. I uploaded photos to Yelp while enjoying my beverage in my comfy chair. I am currently going through Caribou Coffee withdrawal symptoms. This one is a good cafe. I can see myself getting off the plane and heading here immediately the next time I'm in the Twin Cities. (402)

Mocha and coffee (small)

Spotting a Caribou Coffee is only slightly less likely in my daily life than seeing an actual caribou, and I miss it! My Caribou changed to a Peet's where I live. Anyway, how excited was I to find not one but a small herd of Caribou Coffees at Minneapolis and open very early in the morning when I arrived before 6am? The answer: I was very excited. Had actual glee, which is saying something because I was also very tired after two long flights and another flight to go to get back to the east coast. Although there was a line, the three cashier-baristas moved us quickly through the queue and the crafting baristas kept the flow moving right along. Before all too long, I was enjoying a hot hot black coffee and maple sugar oatmeal while my mister was sipping a really smooth and chocolatey mocha and noshing on a chicken chorizo breakfast wrap.

my delicious cold brew coffee
Benjamin B.

The service here was friendly, quick, and knowledgeably dispensed. The cold brew that I ordered was delicious. They have a customer loyalty program. It was my first time trying this chain of coffee shops. I recommend this company, and plan on patronizing them again.

They would not swap out a $7+ coffee the customer found objectionable. Poor customer service at the airport location.

This is hands down the best cold brew in Minnesota. They do nitro really well, but the rotating…read moreseasonal cold brews are next level. The whipped honey cold brew is my absolute favorite. That big dollop of whipped honey on top is unreal. The space itself is great for getting work done. Lots of natural light, big open windows, and different seating options that makes it feel really inviting. It can get pretty busy during peak times, so finding a seat can be a little tricky but they have a shared table system where you can grab a card if you're open to sitting with others. It's such a fun, community-focused touch and a great way to meet people or just make space when it's crowded. The staff is super kind and welcoming, which makes it even better. They also do a great job with their seasonal drinks and pastries.

If you are looking for a great iced coffee, look no further!…read more This place is located in a bustling area of St. Paul! It's street parking but it is free. Walking in, there are lots of wood accents, stools, booths and PLENTY of plug ins if you want to come here and study/get work done! The service was disappointing to be honest. This place had the vibes to have such a fun crew working and instead we barely even got 2 words for the person who rang us up. The person who made our drinks also had zero interaction. Such a missed opportunity! This is why I removed a star. The coffee: This is one of my new favorite coffees I have ever had! I got an iced whipped honey latte and it was DELICIOUS! The coffee wasn't overly bitter, had good flavor and the whipped honey was definitely a unique treat! Overall, I really did enjoy my time at this coffee shop! It definitely can get busy but don't let that deter you from getting a delicious coffee from these guys! Oh and yes, they do have some snack/lunch/bakery items here to if you get hungry!!

I discovered J&S Bean Factory during the summer of 2025 when I was looking for some fresh beans for…read moremy home brewed coffee. J&S did not disappoint. They have a huge variety of beans, and they will grind them for you if you like. The shop is small, and it has that awesome coffee aroma inside and out, but their coffee is plenty expensive. Also, be warned that if you're the type of person who likes to enjoy their coffee without politics, you might be somewhat put off by the Liberal-forward vibe of this shop, what with some of the coffees being named after Liberal politicians, ie "Obama Blend" or as others have mentioned here a coffee named after Bernie Sanders. The staff at the shop were always polite enough to me, and I never experienced name calling as another reviewer did, but then I don't wear my politics on my sleeve or confront others about theirs. After all, I only went there to buy coffee, not change the world or anyone's philosophical, political, or religious views. Recently, (January 2026), I drove the 15 some-odd miles to their shop only to find they had closed that day to attend protests in a "No Work, No School, No Shopping" strike due to law enforcement activity in the cities. I enjoy supporting local small businesses, but the "Politics First, Customer Last" business model doesn't work for me. Besides, I feel like they must be doing pretty well financially if they can just close up shop unannounced without so much as a notification on their website or phone answering message to warn customers who might actually be driving a fair distance, burning real gasoline which costs real money, to buy their stuff. I liked their coffee, but it just isn't worth the expense or inconvenience to me anymore, so I go elsewhere.

Always nice to stop by this neighborhood coffee shops. Amazing coffee roasted by them. Friendly…read morestaffs and patrons. Great ambiance with local artworks
