Okay, so I know they are not located in the Pacific Northwest, but I had to give a real quick 'shout out' to Caribou Coffee. While en route to Michigan, we had a fairly long layover in Minneapolis, and I was really craving some coffee. Our morning had started especially early, and we were experiencing some anxiety traveling with an infant and a toddler. I passed a Starbucks, and was tempted.. but then I saw that Caribou Coffee was EVERYWHERE! Knowing that they were a Minnesota based company (we like their granola bars), I figured what could be better than to try than the local coffee? It was fabulous.. the coffee, the service - you guys were so friendly, everything. I had the caramel high rise, and I was very pleasantly surprised that the coffee had enough punch to hold up under such rich caramel.
On our way home from Michigan, we had a rediculously long layover in Minneapolis again, so of course I thought I would try out the coffee, again, and just see if I was lucky the first time. No siree.. it was just as fabulous the second time (this time an almond macchiato) - good coffee, very friendly service. You guys are great at Caribou, and I thought you deserved to know!
