Caribou Coffee is my favorite coffee chain. They have a fun Northwoods theme for their interior (maybe I’m biased being part Minnesotan), and their coffee always tastes fresh and expertly prepared.
This location is the first Caribou to open at MSP each day, and it is also the most apt to receive arriving and departing traffic at this airport. It was open at 5:00 AM so I was able to get coffee for my 6:00 flight. The line became long (out the door) quite quickly, so leave plenty of time if you are interested. The app wasn’t taking orders, so that wasn’t an option - but it also wasn’t slowing down the delivery of drinks. The barista did a great job with my Caramel Highrise, it was exactly what I needed after waking up at 2 AM!

Large coffee about 1/2 filled once the foam went down. Lame. Stick to Starbucks. Lumberjack sandwich and coffee cake was good but after spending $20 plus a tip I am pissed at the coffee I received at 5am.

I was waiting for my drink at this location. I stood over to the side (see picture 2 where the yellow caution sign is.) A worker prepared my drink and was putting it down on the area where you pick it up. She did it extremely fast causing the drink to tip over and splash all over my clothes, skin and brand new white shoes. No apologies were given... all she said was "oops." Great way to start my weekend of travel.
Great staff were friendly and accommodating. Especially Danny 10/10.

Hopefully just a bad day but service was bad. Ended up leaving because I was done waiting for the mocha I paid for. A few other people complained looking for reimbursement because they had to go.

Just got a basic cold brew, but it delivered as expected. Service was quick, but not overly friendly. Cool atmosphere in the store though.

They have me super sweet milk. 0 coffee. Asked for it to be fixed and they hit me with, its closed now. Do not waste your money and get real coffee someone else. Any coffee that I've ever had is better than this sweet milk that they're selling
Saturday morning, 645-705. Took 20 minutes to get from end of line to receipt of my plain coffee and a simple bfast biscuit. There were about 15 people ahead of me. Maybe 1/minute is good.
Coffee was eh, biscuit was great.
Saw 5 people leave the line while I was in it. One cashier, one cook. That's not enough. Maybe short staffed, but you're losing business.
