Coffee offerings at Minneapolis-based Caribou include the sustainably sourced Burundi Yandaro single-origin offering, featuring coffee from the Yandaro washing station in the Kayanza Province of Burundi, with soft tangerine red apple acidity, milky body and light herbaceous sweetness.
Other offerings include a S’Mores Flavored Coffee and Daybreak Blend. Represented coffee regions include Brazil Cerrado, Colombia Huila and Sumatra Lintong.
Caribou offers handcrafted beverages, small-batch roasted coffee beans, limited-time offers and all-day breakfast—and strives to balance speed and experiential dining.
Founders John and Kim Puckett opened the first Caribou Coffee in 1992 in Minnesota with a vision to build personal connection into the coffeehouse experience. The company said its growth is fueled by creating day-making experiences that spark a chain reaction of good for its team, customers and community.
Caribou has a robust online presence as well, with coffee offerings, apparel and drinkware.
Customer comment: “I love Caribou. The coffee is so much better than other coffee shops, and the people who work there get to know their costumers and provide great costumer service.”
