Always tasty but you wont get through the drive through in under 20 minutes. Other local areas that dont have automated machines do it faster.
Was in Onalaska for a bike trip, first morning was 40 minutes waiting for 2 drinks. The next day,, thought wed be smart by using the app and ordering 30 minutes ahead. in line right now and still waiting at 10:30 for a 10:10 PERORDER via the app. They need an overhaul to their efficiency process. Im not sure whats wrong here but corporate might want to get someone here asap to straighten this out.
This place is awesome. The menu and service is excellentand you sit and relax.Very impressed.
Don’t recommend going here. I love their drinks and food, but to have the only option to wait in line in the drive thru for over 45 minutes to get a mobile order is not right. Sadly, this location has lost my business.
Person taking the drive thru order kept lapsing into long silences and not saying anything. Had to keep asking if she was still there.Then they made a Ginger Turmeric Tea Latte with COFFEE AND A TEA BAG. It was a latte and they added a tea bag. It was one of the more disgusting things I’ve ever tried. We were on the road and couldn’t go back to get it re-made. I love Caribou and will never go to this one again.If you ever get anything at the drive thru here, try it before you drive away.This was 10/9/21 at about 7pm.
Im very not happy with my experience at 9am on October 17th 2021. I sat in line for a hour to be told that there online orders was more important then the inside/drive thru orders to pay 6 dollars for my order to get a coffee that tasted like creamer and water blended. The rep at the door mad it seem like the inside/drive Thru orders where not important this is not expectable customer service 😑 😒
Superior to Starbucks imo in terms of coffee quality and flavor. Employees are great. My fav is a blended mint condition mocha with dark chocolate.
Drinks are usually pretty good, but the drive thru line took over an hour to get 2 drinks. I won’t ever come back to this location. If they can’t accommodate a drive thru they shouldn’t have one.
Waited 46 minutes for our 2 lattes. Drive thru didnt budge so went inside and it was packed. This is not acceptable for this type of establishment. Im not sure this location can handle all the business. Employees sure seemed to be trying to keep up but just couldnt keep up. Im afraid Im done with caribou after this and one other bad experience with a rude employee at another location.
The drinks here are always delicious and well made. Please note this locations drive thru and inside of the store get very busy and you may have to wait 10-20 min for a drink. I would suggest setting up rewards through their app and ordering ahead that way you can skip the line, walk in, and grab your drink!
Caribou has been my favorite coffee place for MANY yearsBerry white mocha my favoriteWhite chocolate mocha with raspberryCOFFEEChrist Offers Forgiveness Freely Everyone Everywhere
Long line that was 35 minutes to order drinks and 15 to get to window. Good drinks.
Went thru drive thru, been over and hour, still have nothing. Terrible service and speed
Delicious coffee but with the constant price increases I only go once a month.
Took them 30 minutes to microwave a breakfast sausage and pour me some black coffee
Great coffee and awesome staff but the drive thru takes forever. I think they run to Colombia to get the beans for each person. Do yourself a favor and order ahead for in-store pickup.
The only reason Caribou deserves 5 stars is because of Janice that works there. Some of the employees are snotty and not very friendly but Janice makes every experience personalized. She knows I like toppings on my coffee. I dont put it in my order. She just remembers. She always is very pleasant and is always working SO HARD. She is awesome!
Standing here at 35 minutes and counting for an iced Americano. So ridiculous. Lots of activity behind the counter and maybe a drink every 5 minutes is emerging.
Love there coffee and always hot
Good drinks but the 25 mins it took to get in drive thru not worth it....🤷🏼♂️
Who doesnt love coffee. The selection is great with something f0r everyone. The drive thru line can get long but to be expected when something is so good and Im always a worth the wait kinda gal
One of the things I look forward to most when traveling across the country is getting to an area where Caribou Coffee shops are available. It never disappoints.
Let me know I might have a wait when your dining room takes 35 minutes. Unreal!!
Ordered a cold brew coffee with cream and sugar and they forgot the cream and sugar.
Unfortunately i wont be coming back here. Throughout the week i use walk in pickup orders to save time, and multiple people are standing in the lobby without masks. Today i am told i cannot get my drinks and must go through the drive-thru for my walk-in pick up order. The older lady who informed me of this was very condescending and unprofessional. My drinks were RIGHT behind her and she straight up i cannot receive them because i dont have a mask on ( as i watch someone else get handed their drink and take their mask off )
Friendly staff willing to help you get the best deal with your rewards. The drinks were great!
Amazing coffee and great customer service. Very friendly.
Cheaper than Starbucks much richer flavors than them as well...doesnt taste watered down like other local coffee shops and they are always so friendly and never mess up my order👍👍
Love this place. The coffee is sublime!
Fast gluten free food options.
Always happy with my experiences at Caribou in La Crosse, Wi.
Coffee was just average and very pricey. Service was OK, but very slow.
The customer service has gone down hill the past year!I placed a order ahead, went and waited for about 15 minutes. I had an appointment that I was now late for so I asked them to cancel it. I saw it on the screen & the employee said Oh someone must have taken it. The whole time I waited I watched 5 employees move like they didnt care it was busy.Today I thought I would try again. Ordered ahead so I could grab and go. Nope, lobby was locked up. I had to go to the drive through to wait for 10 minutes. No sense of hustle at all.
Ice coffee are great
Drive thru is quick and great coffee as always.
The small bacon and cheese soufle was delicious. Service was excellent but they were out of burritos so Im only giving them 4 stars.
Love coffee from here and am willing to wait 20 minutes in line for it but when I get the wrong order and I call and call and no answer it’s a little bit frustrating. I tried talking to the guy in the window but it not sure if he didn’t hear me or what. He just shut the window! If I wasn’t on my way to work I would of turned around. So as of now I’m stuck with idk what this is lol!
I went to caribou today on my break.. worst customer service experience ever. First off I had to wait 30+ mins for 2 drinks, which it happens sometimes but also I was charged for a free beverage and on top of that I didn’t get my order how I wanted it & was charged for extra expresso that I didn’t receive...high disappointed
Did not order anything but a gift card. The service was fast and friendly.
The people are so nice and friendly.
I love our caribou! The staff is friendly and the drinks are great.
Ive been coming to this location for the past couple of months now. I am always greeted by the employees, even if they are swamped with orders. Coffee is really good, and the rewards program is awesome for a frequent buyer. The customer service alone will keep me coming back. Keep up the good work!
Mediocre coffee, baristas who dont understand a basic order, bit on the rude side.
The servers are always so kind and make sure you are swiftly taken cared of. Go at least once a week, because they deserve my business for how awesome they are.
Really good hot chocolate on a cold night!
Always a line. But they know how do get the hot mocha coffees right with A Carribou choc covered cofffee bean 2
My wife says they have the best specialty coffee around
25 minutes to get 2 coffees in lobby? I wouldnt believe it either. We were there 15 minutes before the 1st indoor order was served while 5+ drive throughs were served. 10 people packed into a 10x10 lobby space. Janice! You werent doing a good job! Not coming back. But of course I havent been here since they opened either. ONALASKA, WI
No need to fix perfection :)
Our favorite coffee shop. Always friendly staff!
Above average in taste of beverage but slow on service.
My friend wrote this about this establishment:This evening, I went into Caribou with my husband as we often do on his day off. We usually go through the drive-thru but today we decided to go inside to order. My husband put on his mask, but I went in without one. Right away, a young man of whom I am assuming a manager told me that I cannot be inside without a mask. I told him I have an exemption. He started to say something, but stopped himself and said ok. We ordered our coffee, paid for it and while we were waiting for our coffe to be made, one of the other workers spoke loudly of how another customer had gotten really irate with her when she told them that they had to wear a mask and was afraid that they would spit in her face. After we got our coffee, the first young man said that I would not be allowed back into the shop without a mask and pointed to a camera that was recording people to make sure everyone wore a mask. Outside where the tables were if you wanted to sit, they had plastic covered papers “suggesting” that you go inside to give them all your contact information in the event there is an outbreak of corona to “contact trace” you.I told my husband that was the last time we would ever patronize Caribou Coffee. I have gone into many businesses without a mask and when told I had to wear a mask, I told them I have an exemption. They said ok, no questions asked. I will not give my business to the likes of Caribou Coffee in Onalaska who are stooping to gestapo like measures on their customers. I know the young man is not to be blamed. He is only following orders of upper management. But they have lost me as a customer after years of giving them my business as well as buying 100’s of gift cards for friends and family. I will go to other stores that are not following unlawful measures put out by our weak governor who is bowing down to DHS Andrea Palm and giving her unlawful powers to do this to our wonderful state. I am saddened and grieved what this has come to. 😢😢😢
I love going to Caribou! Atmosphere is great for either studying by yourself or with a group, or just hanging with some friends. Its cozy and inviting, and the coffee is wonderful. The only thing is that its not a place that offers a great variety of food. So if you just plan to get something to satisfy you for a couple hours, the sandwiches are small but pretty good. Overall, its a good place to chill.
Super good coffee & bakery snacks..very friendly!
My favorite coffee place in town. I love my cold press and souffles. And adding a drive thru has been a game changer. Only issue is it can take a while to get my food and drink (inside and drive thru). I feel like theres often not enough workers on shift for how busy they are.
The coffee is okay, I had a sub par dark roast the other day-it was a little bit bitter- and a mocha later on which was much too sweet despite being dark chocolate. Nice study space or conversation environment.
We got blended ice Mocha drinks... My wife had regular mocha...I had a turtle flavored one. They were delicious and full of flavor. Plus we were able to pick up 2lbs of our favorite coffee in whole bean! Awesome place!
Caribou continues to be one of the best coffee shops around. Well trained and friendly staff seems to be one of their distinctives. I just wish there were more of them!
I have been going to Caribou for The last 5 years, I wont be going for several months now, my raspberry latte was horrible. I went inside the restaurant and picked it up and left I couldnt even taste the raspberries in it, it tasted like water with foam it was disgusting they have too many new people working it will be a while before I go back.
The nitro cold brew is really good!
Always greeted with a smile or pleasant welcome at drive-through. Mint condition mochal... absolute best!
The worst experience I have ever had at a Caribou Coffee and on more than one occassion. The drive-thru line appeared long so I expected to wait a little longer than usual, however after sitting in the drive-thru for 30 minutes when I finally approached the window I was not helped and not acknowledged for 5 minutes. The drive-thru attendant was not at the window, and there were four employees behind the main register. After trying to wave my arms around and make myself known from outside the window to try and get the attention of at least one of the four employees standing behind the counter to come to the drive-thru window, I was ignored by all of them. The drive-thru attendant then returned to the window from the kitchen and proceeded to do other tasks as I was still waving my arms around and saying “hello” to try to get his attention, rather than assist me and the long line of customers behind me. It also appeared that the young man working the drive-thru had no additional help taking drive-thru orders or restocking the drive-thru station so he was forced to take time away from customers and not get through the drive-thru line quickly. I am extremely disappointed in my experience with this Caribou Coffee and it’s staff while going through the drive-thru. I would not recommend this Caribou Coffee location to anyone.
Slow service, not fully accurate on orders.
Good service good coffee.
I always order an ice chai tea latte with a shot less of chai, and they give me a disgusting coffee drink so Im out 4$ every time. Whenever Im at the drive thru they are never able to understand me, and when I get my order in they repeat it back like how i said it, but still give me the wrong thing. Not happy with this location.
I would like to start by saying I would go here 2 to 3 times a week and recently have had terrible experiences and will not return! First I was left sitting at the window after ordering for 15 mins and was forgotten. Finally they handed me my drink for free cause they were goofing around. Today I placed a mobile order, the lady confirmed she had it in the drive through. Waited in line for 20 mins to get to the front to be told they did not get the order and we would have to go back and reorder with 5 people in line. We went to Moka which had double the people and we were out within 10 mins. New management suggested as you should never have to wait that long for a coffee period!
Great location, fast & friendly service, and clean!
One of my top 5 places in the area for coffee and school work this place is veey good and staff is nice good atmosphere
Very fast
I usually love Caribou but this one had employee issues. Ordering was difficult, lady couldnt get it right several times. Order completed - and was wrong. Quality just not the same as other caribous.
Mmmmm! If you like mocha (and peppermint), try the mint condition. They have really good coffee and pastries.
Was nice and polite...
Nice clean place. Have always had a good beverage. This place is a little out of the way for us, but usually try to get here when we are in the area.
Always friendly service😊
This is a great place to meet to talk with friends, do school work, or read a book. Staff is friendly and helpful. Drinks are prompt and food is quite good.
The vanilla cold press with cream is delicious!!
So slow. Did pre order and showed up 10 minutes later. Coffee was not ready. Waited another 10 minutes. I have never seen a caribou like this one. I do not recommend this location.
Good service, nice. BUSY drive-through
Great tasting coffee and warm, relaxing environment as we have come to expect from Caribou Coffee shops. Unfortunately, this Caribou is in a terrible location - the parking lot is small and difficult to find a spot or turn around to leave. It is also smashed between a couple of other businesses. Staff was good and friendly and served us quickly even if they were super busy.
Fast and friendly service! I love that they know me by name. The free chocolate covered espresso bean is always nice too.
They always have great customer service even on busy days. I like to tell myself i can justify getting a coffee and gf breakfast sandwich when im busy running errands, weirdly enough ive been running alot of errands lately.
That time/order scrapping the Mendoza line. If you got a minute. Stop and get that Caribooooooo
Been driving by this place for years and never got around to stopping. Glad I finally did. Loved the atmosphere and the cappuccino.
Placed an online order for pickup. No point because you still have to wait in the for ever long drive thru line.
Yum and always yum
Yummy!I had my free birthday drink and my son had an oreo cooler. They were delicious. Everyone was super friendly and we loved sitting outside!
Such great coffee choices
About twenty minutes to get a cup of coffee in the drive thru. Excellent way to begin the day
Its simply good coffee. When ever Im by one I stop to get a cup. The Brew and cold brew are better than than Starbucks in my opinion. Where Starbucks has better made drinks (mochas, macchiatos, etc). Again I love the place.
Always quick and friendly. The option of which chocolate to melt in your drink is fantastic! It makes the espresso drinks wonderfully smooth.
Omg the turtle !
Good drinks. Waited in drivethru line 20 minutes with only 4 cars.
Very friendly counter help. Awesome coffee.
Delicious non dairy options
