A few problems I had, the menu was very confusing to me. I saw the coffee section and thought "espresso type" coffee like in a coffee shop. I ordered a marshmallow coffee. This tasted like straight sugar and was way too sweet with no indication that there was coffee in the drink. I couldn't even take a second sip, it was just too much. There are also no size indications, just cold or hot options. I will give it one more try to see if the teas are better.

Milk texture is also very unpredictable... often times the lattes can be made too thin or with enough foam that it may count as cappuccino (again it depends on who's volunteering that day) It is for charity so that's really nice but if your looking for a quality cup of coffee, I'd suggest Balanced.

We were quite surprised when we were told the milk would actually be coming IN the teapot and not on the side. We asked specifically if it was going to come IN the pot, and the cashier said, "Oh, yes!" When the teapot arrived at our table, the tea was steeping IN the milk and water and it was a murky, dishwatery-colored liquid not resembling a proper pot of tea. So, we waited, hoping the tea would indeed steep properly. My poor, British friend was horrified that a tea shop anywhere would 'mash' their tea IN the milk as opposed to adding milk after it had brewed. We visited for a while, hoping the tea would get stronger, but unfortunately it lacked most of the lovely flavors we anticipated when smelling a sample of it on the extensive tea wall. Furthermore, our unimpressive pot of tea was $10 ($6 without milk and an added $2 for each of us to have milk). We both felt the concept was very unique and were excited to try a tea shop in Stillwater. However, our first visit very much missed the mark and our disappointing initial experience will most likely not warrant a subsequent visit.

Since I live in OKC, my trips here aren't as often as I'd like being how much I enjoy Caribou, but probably spread out enough that I don't have to frequently face the rudeness I seem to encounter. One visit, I ordered an iced pumpkin chai latte. I was given just a regular iced latte. When I approached the counter to get the correct order, the incorrect order was practically snatched from my hands with an eye roll and loud huff. When the right order was made, it was thrust at me. I merely said thank you and went on my way. But I didn't realize getting the right order was such a huge deal. But hey - there's a big difference between tea and coffee, even if they both include the word "latte." Recently I went there for yet another iced pumpkin chai latte and decided to throw in a donut to mix it up a bit. There's a donut labeled "cake donut" and I decide to order it. The label is directly in front of the tray, but it doesn't look very cake-like...but who am I to question what they decide to call their treats? The employee seems confused and begins pointing to every donut but the very one that is actually labeled "cake donut." Finally she comes around to point some more (completely ignoring the label directly in front of the donut I want) and I said "no, the one right here labeled cake donut." She gives me a look and says incredulously "that's a long john!" Ok well sorry that YOU all labeled it incorrectly - I'm just going by what's actually on there. I just tell her that's fine, I still want that one. She's already charged me and that's when another girl approaches her and says "what are you doing?! Stop!" Being a retail manager I'm thinking how that's NOT how you approach a fellow employee in front of a customer, but I digress. Finally that second girl looks at me and says "looks like you got a good deal on a donut today..." as though somehow *I* was the sneaky one and switched their donuts signs when they weren't looking. A moment later she hands me my chai latte and tells me how she made it in record time. Well great, I'm glad it took you all of a few minutes to put some ice in a cup, put the pumpkin sauce in, pour in the chai latte, and mix it up...being that I was the ONLY person placing an order or even in line. Thing is, had they had a good attitude about it all, I wouldn't have cared and would have laughed along with them. But I don't like being treated like I am a nuisance for simply placing an order or that I'm somehow the one at fault for them labeling things incorrectly or wanting a simple order made right (I'm not one of those crazy specialty order people, the pumpkin chai latte is a basic seasonal menu item at Caribou). I drive up to Stillwater several times a year and stop by Caribou each time and always have similar experiences, but the iced pumpkin chai latte stories stand out since I was just there. Really it's only getting three stars because I love the drinks and have for years from growing up in Chicago. But sometimes I wish there was another location away from those at OSU that clearly don't want to work there.
