Caribou Coffee

Caribou is a pretty darn good alternative to that ubiquitous mermaid coffee chain that is annoyingly represented on every block.
I’ve been pleased with the myriad of drinks and foods of more solid substance I’ve sampled thus far. The service has been friendly and I enjoy the daily trivia for a trivial discount.
While my tastes have shifted towards the more local, single location coffee houses, Caribou will certainly do in a pinch.

Good coffee. Bet friendly environment! Went to chase bank an cont he way back to work stopped by … It’s small but enough tables to sit. It also had the drive-​thru.

Visiting the Lone Tree area for work from Dallas and any chance I can get to get my coffee and not have it be Starbucks– I’ll take it! Went through the drive through and the barista was fantastic! Absolutely excellent customer service! Tasted my coffee and it wasn’t bitter like Starbucks is typically, it was full bodied and full of flavor. I had a Vanilla latte and it wasn’t too sweet at all — flavors were complementary. All around great experience! Perfect morning coffee! Now to get a Caribou in Dallas…

Coffee was ok but not great. Staff was less than friendly. Atmosphere is pleasant, but the feng shui was missing. They have a nice patio with a view of Lincoln road if your into inhaling car exhaust. If you a yuppie in highlands ranch this place might work but if your into great coffee and amazing ambience, it will be best to skip it and make your coffee at home.

Chairs comfy… Customer service not great. Our drinks sat there for a while and no straws. Sounds nit picky but they also were kinda bleh with overall helpfulness & ordering, etc.
chairs are comfy though, place is cozy and coffee is yummy.
The turtle coffee is extremely sweet, whereas the mocha here uses dark choc & is much more rich than Starbucks.

I typically love the coffee but I have to say that when the staff is unfriendly and do not understand the menu it puts a sour taste in my mouth for this location. I’ve tried this location a few times and each morning the blonde barista is short and often seems like there are better places to be at 7 in the morning. Most recently I wanted to try something new, so i scoped out the website and found a machiatto. I proceeded go into the location and attempted to order a machiatto. I was informed that it was not on the menu but could make a «high rise» which was about the equivalent. My first mistake was taking the barista’s word assuming that she knew better than I and not looking at the menu immediately because when I got the «high rise» it was a caramel, milk and espresso drink rather than a espresso with foam drink. I came back to work and jumped on your website and was completely mortified how a barista could offer a 380 calorie drink vs a 20. Lesson learned on my part but I’m hoping for some training classes and courteous faces for the staff.

If you want coffee that will curl your toes with its deliciousness then you need to stop in to this place. This evening I accompanied my wife on a business consultation and decided I would get myself a cup of coffee. I decided on a café mocha. That cup of coffee was so good I would have to take a look the cup after each sip as if I couldn’t believe it was that good.
This was our first time this coffee shop and we will definitely be back or visit others when we have the chance. It has a cozy atmosphere and even an electric fireplace with some cozy chairs huddled in front of it.
The main reason we stopped in this coffee shop was because we brew this coffee at home which we get from the grocery store.

A decent, if typical, coffee shop with a convenient drive-​through. This location has the distinction of not having direct coffee shop competition in the immediate area (that I am aware of).
When I visit a caffeination station, I typically get a latte of some sort. The lattes at Caribou are good, but a bit sweet for my taste. They seem sweeter (weaker?) than Starbucks, which I prefer. Still, this is the only coffee shop that I know of in the area, and the speedy drive-​through will keep me coming back.

I love Caribou coffee. The white Chocolate Mocho is my favorite. The coffee tastes soo much better than any other coffee chain. I’e ordered a few of their breads. Maybe they get them in on Tuesdays, because that is when it is fresh and delicious. As the week progresses, it gets hard and gross.
This location is great if your going west on Lincoln to I-​25 during rush hour. If your going south bound, not so much.
Service is hit or miss. Sometimes the baristas are great and friendly. More times then not, they hardly say a word and are just chatting with the other employees.(thats for the drive through anyways). I’ve never been inside so it could be a totally different atmosphere.
The coffee keeps me coming back… soo delicious.

One of the only chains I think are decent.

Living next to this place is going to bankrupt me. But I love it! For a chain they actually have really good coffee, great atmosphere and friendly baristas! I go there at least 3 times a week for the last 4 years! I love their drive thru for when you need to be fast and I love to study there. It’s so nice and quiet in the morning.
Thanks guys for always making my mornings better!

Long have in waited to live near a Caribou Coffee. I was hooked since my first sip in Chicago. I love it all. The brewed coffee, espresso based drinks and the frozen fatty drinks. I love the consistency of flavor and customer service at this location. It has a drive thru too, so if it’s a chilly day you can just stay in your car.

Not really a fan of the coffee and the sandwiches are pre-​built, frozen and nuked. Service is up and down. Coffee house atmosphere = fake.

I’m not usually one to pay for coffee since I make a mean home brewed cup. But, every once in a while I stay out too late with my friend who lives within walking distance from here and doesn’t own a coffee maker… so we always end up here versus the Starbucks that’s the same walking distance but just in another direction. Why Caribou? Their coffee is always velvety smooth and creamed and spiced to perfection. I don’t have to add one dang thing. Also, their prices are better. Not to mention there isn’t a secret lingo for their coffee which means you won’t have to deal with an annoyed Barista who secretly takes pleasure in correcting you.
My only complaint is that there’s not one within walking distance from my place ;-)

It’s no secret, I love me some Caribou. I can never deviate from ordering a toasted marshmallow latte, which is my favorite coffee drink on this planet. Service was warm and friendly, and bonus points for this location having a drive-​thru. It’s a strange strip-​mall setup, but it works alright.

Cute little shop with great coffee and delicious food.
I got the chicken apple sausage breakfast sandwich– egg, sausage, cheese (REAL cheddar, not that processed American crap!) on a really good flaky, buttery roll. I wished I had ordered 2!
My Mint Condition Iced Mocha was good as well. I got it with dark chocolate flavoring. It was good, but strong! Hit the spot though. YUM!
If I lived close by, I’d visit this shop a lot. Plus, they have a drive thru. Always a plus!

Right on Caribou! Jessica J. is right. I’ve been coming here for a few years during lunch to get a pick me up! Inside is pretty quiet and they are quick with the drinks. I like the regular espresso straight or the café mocha!

My search for the perfect latté microfoam still continues down south, but I’ve found a nice go-​to shop to tide me over. The employees at Caribou are pleasant, and are happy to direct me to their favorites at the pastry counter. I’m sticking with (or, more accurately, sticking to — it’s deliciously gooey) the French toast muffin.
Here’s my #1 peeve — there is no way to add a tip to my credit card receipt. In today’s almost entirely cashless economy, this really chafes. I have been caught in the morning with nothing for the tip jar, and that’s just not fair to the employees.
Also, I’d love to see a loyalty program. I’ve been told that Caribou just can’t manage a rewards program like that other giant chain, but I’m not buying it. Our own hometown Pablo’s Coffee treats me to a free drink after just six visits, which beats the mermaid tails off of one in 15. I’m no marketing genius, but I’m pretty sure that the occasional freebie would drive a lot more business their way.

I find that Caribou offers amazing, high-​caloric coffee-​related beverages. I’m not a fan of the way their coffee tastes, but the beverages loaded with chocolate are delicious. For a decadent experience, I would recommend getting a hot chocolate with ALL THREE chocolate types: milk, dark, and white.
The fact that this location has a drive-​thru is a huge plus.
However, every time I walk in, I am always met with the annoyed/​brisk attitudes of the people that work here. While they may say an obligatory «hi» when you walk in, you better know what you want to order immediately, as they will stare at you impatiently until you make a decision. As I sit down and drink my beverage, the employees always seem to carry on with a friendly chatter amongst themselves when there aren’t any customers lined up.
I have encountered this attitude EVERYTIME I come into this location… it never fails. Totally weird vibes. The temperature inside the shop matches the personalities of those working here: chilly. Cold temperatures seem to be the norm for coffee shops in general, though.
The only reason I sometimes visit is the fact that they are open later than other coffee joints in Parker, they have ample seating, and they offer free wifi. If I need coffee in Parker, I prefer to visit Kunjani coffee, a locally owned, friendly establishment.

Thumbs up for this Caribou off Lincoln. It has a drive thru!!! Yay! I didn’t even realize when I stopped off this AM, until the guy in front of me turned into it. Score! I always love being an über-​slacker and receiving food through a window :)
SFNF Vanilla Latte is my fave drink. Iced or hot! Plus the new lemon blueberry scones had me wanting more! Love the lemony icing that criss-​cosses the top!
This location is a winner!
