Hummus Pita
Emma B.

Ambiance was nice and cozy. Limited options for vegetarians. Pita pockets with hummus were atleast filled very full :), but I found the Garlic Hummus one was a little bland. Service was good despite being quite busy.

Was in town and needed an afternoon pick me up, so stopped in this adorable and cozy coffee shop in downtown Winona. So happy I stopped here because the service was friendly and fast and I loved my cup of coffee! From the outside, it looks small but upon walking in, it's much bigger with plenty of booths and tables to enjoy a meal or a cup of tea or coffee. I didn't get any food but the sandwiches and pastries looked good. It's a great place to come whether it's to catch up with friends, play one of the games they have or work!

Seating area

Stopped here on a Monday afternoon for lunch, seemed like one of few places in town open today. But so glad I did! Greeted with a smile and good service. Ambiance was chill, some people here studying and others here for a coffee, some here for a sandwich, like us. This place has great hoagies and soup. My boyfriend ordered the 1/2 ham hoagie with chicken soup and I ordered the 1/2 turkey hoagie with tomato soup.

(Big Eazy and Tiny Dancer) This is the drive-thru location, with the cafe situated on Huff St. near the Winona State University campus. You'll receive the same impeccable service at both locations, but the drive-thru line moves so quickly that you could roll through without stopping, and have them toss you your drink! Great Expectations abound with Mugbe's delicious, organic, fair-trade coffee. With literary Oliver twists on drink names like Fezziwig and Havisham, you'll feel afternoonified just by sampling their schmixes. Not feeling intellectual? Mugbe also rocks a mean Eddy Vanhazelnut and a Naughty Leprechaun! Order a banana chocolate chip muffin to go with your cup of Joe and trust that it will be life changing. Hands down, Mugbe delivers the best coffee in Winona and will leave you saying, "It was the best of times!" I give them five mid-Victorian ghost stories.

A short and sweet stop for a caffeine fix! I wanted to try their speciality drinks rather than my…read moreusual cappuccino or cortado order so I had the iced Tuscan Mocha, half sweet, and my husband tried the iced Tiramisu, half sweet. I think I should've gone with the full sweet because the Tuscan Mocha tasted slightly bitter with the adjustment but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. My husband said his iced Tiramisu tasted better with the half sweet and I agree. Overall, this is a really convenient and solid stop for a quick coffee and I wouldn't mind swinging by again to try other drinks next time I visit the lake!

Ducks say "quack"; fish go "blub" And the seal goes "ow ow…read moreow" But there's one sound that no one knows (Ylvis) What does the caribou say? "Grunt-runt-grunt-grunt-runtergruntygrunt" Not only do caribou speak in grunts, but they also produce a clicking sound when they walk. I imagine this is a secondary form of communicating with their South African Zulu-speaking Kudu cousins. I'm uncertain if Caribou employees are required to learn grunting or clicking as part of their barista mastery as I've only ever spoken to them in English, but my orders here have never been lost in translation. The coffee is rich and smooth, and lacks the high acidity of Starbucks (though I add in my own bitterness if my visit is before 9am #nightowlsunite). I'm sure most coffee drinkers in Winona would justifiably rate Mugby as having the best coffee in town, but Caribou is a solid backup when you get a wild hair for caffeine. Caribou sits in a very convenient location, right off the highway as you enter Winona, a great option when there's no time to migrate across town for your Mugby fix. Overall this Caribou is a wonderful place for you and your herd to fuel up when you're on the go, foraging the MN tundra for some joe. **Disclaimer, no caribou are used or harmed in the brewing of the coffee at this chain.
