Friendly helpful staff, and great ordering experience both online and in person. This location also has a variety of flavor syrups that are not on the menu so if you want a flavor that isnt offered make sure to ask.I can strongly recommend the cold press, which is smooth and non acidic, even without creamer. But honestly am not a huge fan of most of the more complicated sweetened drinks as they are a bit sickly sweet but ymmv.

Always friendly staff but they’ve gotten my order wrong more than once. I never make a fuss because it’s usually a minor issue (milk chocolate instead of dark for instance) and when it’s been big they’ll remake it but this happens all the time. Still, they’re quick with remakes so it only knocks off one star. I’ve never left unhappy.

Caribou Coffee will always be one of my favorite places to grab a cup of coffee! Always friendly, and always really tasty coffee, especially when Mocha Java is on drip! 🤩

This coffee shop is my go-to place whenever I need to relax and have some coffee with me. They have a spacious parking area and an elegant interior design that is picture-perfect. You can also bring a laptop here since they have available outlets. Their food is good to pair with their drinks and coffee and was all affordable. I highly recommend this coffee shop to everyone.

Getting laughed at by your employees when with my partner was exactly how I did not need to start my day.Curiously had no bacon egg and cheese sandwich available when we ordered, though other customers received their order.Handed me a wet straw for my drink.Hire people who know how to act professionally. Not children in adult suits.

Came in from Dallas to try something new. Betsy I believe is the name of the barista. She was so rude. Seemed to be having the worst day and took it out on customers. Complained about customers being dirty…. In front of customers.I’ve never felt so unwelcome in a business in my life.

Delicious coffee and great service. Clean environment and convenient location downtown. They have an dog friendly outdoor seating area where you can enjoy downtown and plenty of comfy indoor seating as well. Im not sure why anyone would give less than 4 stars they do everything right and their coffee is great with an extensive variety.

Caribou Coffee is my favorite! Their coffee is so smooth and rich. Since we dont have any physical locations in Chicago (other than the sale of their products in Einstein Bagels), I was elated to find a Caribou Coffee shop in Downtown Denver. The staff was welcoming and kind - my experience was great and yours will be too!

The staff here was EXCELENT - there was a new person and the manager was so kind to her and so patient. They asked me to wait in the lobby and they brought my food and bagel out to me but the bagel was cold by that time. They are trying really hard and it shows. What they had no control over were the gaggle of teenagers - one who was brushing her long hair while she waited for her order - gross....

They have watered down teas not too pricey considering everything is expensive here in Denver unless you come from California. They told me I couldnt stay in the lobby to drink my watered down tea because the lobby was closed. It was snowing and 22 degrees outside. Just perfect customer service.

This is the first place I drink coffee or in fact anything in Denver. I generally dont like chains. But as a stranger in Colorado, this place is a blessing. It is spacious with variety of places to sit, and at nine in the morning, it is also very quiet. The scene of the street next to it is also nice.

I love this Caribou! I visited here every time I wanted to treat myself when I lived in denver 2 years ago and went back to this location during my last trip. I usually find a new mug or travel cup I fall in love with. Every time I have been greeted by super nice staff as well. I would choose a Caribou over Starbucks any day!

The crafted press is awesome. They use a mix of salt and sweet caramel blended with milk and coffee. I went with half sugar and it was perfect. The staff were super nice, and helpful! This is a great place, with nice indoor and outdoor seating.

During the current environment, Caribou was one of the few places open in the 16th street mall. We stopped in for a quick breakfast and were not disappointed. Coffee was amazing and food was ready quickly. Both individuals working were pleasant and helpful. Caribou also has a cool back story! I enjoyed reading about it while waiting for our order.

Review №36

The experience was nice and not bad prices. For a chai latte, a cappuccino and a bagel were only $10 and it was in downtown denver. The place is nice but can not inside because of covid regulations but its fine. The beverages were good but the spicy chai the first 3/ 4 were perfect but all the spiciness stayed at the bottom and was really weird, about the food everything is premade so dont expect freshness in the snacks or the small appetizers, just enjoy the coffee will be the recommendation.

The Caribou Coffee location on 16th Street in Denver downtown delivers fast service. Uniquely smokey-taste coffee makes this place a local favorite.

Clean business, friendly staff, decent drink. What prompted me to write this review, though? The sign on the bathroom. YES on offering a bathroom to pregnant women, children, and the elderly. That alone makes me want to support this business.Ill be back to try a blended drink or breakfast sandwich :)

As far as this particular coffee shop goes, the people that run show behind the counter are Pleasant enough. They seem like nice hard-working people. They do have some very comfortable chairs and seating. If youre looking for an upscale type of environment its a little bit more run-of-the-mill. Its nice enough. The coffees not bad.

I asked for a plant based milk in my drink for health reasons. The employee (I didn’t get her name) used regular milk. She repeated my order to me and still used regular milk. I am so sick right now because the employee disregarded my request.

Review №46

Ordered a regular coffee not a specialty made drink. It was extremely hot, so that was nice on the cold day, the coffee did taste very old though. Not sure what their hold times are on the coffee but it was not that great. Next time Ill try one of their crafted drinks since those seemed to be made fresh. Hard to judge the quality of their coffee when it is old. I would like to come back and give it another try. Gentlemen behind the counter were friendly.

I met a friend and former coworker for coffee here yesterday. I tend to gravitate to Starbucks since they are on every other corner in downtown Denver, but I thought it would be a nice change. The mood was definitely more relaxed and the service was good. I actually appreciated it was less hectic than the nearly Starbucks as it allowed my friend and I the opportunity to catch up without yelling. Plus the chai tea latte was very good.

Review №83

Drinks were good but it was DIRTY where people were sitting. We wanted to stay and enjoy our drinks but decided to leave right away. Napkins on the floor, dirty dishes left on the tables, homeless looking guy sitting by the fire with his feet on the coffee table charging his phone. The front door rug was rolled up and tossed behind one of the high top tables. The old location on 17th was much nicer. We won’t be coming back to this location. This was on Saturday morning 10/20/17 around 10am.

Good place but difficult to find. Its in a corner of Woody Creek Bakery which in turn is in a large office building. Look for the Woody Creek signs. They should get a special mention for their restrooms being distant and difficult to locate.

Review №94

I grew up hearing stories about Caribou coffee and have wanted to try them for many years- there are no Caribou coffee shops in Tennessee where I grew up. There were starbucks and local coffee shops in my hometown. I loved them, but Caribou seemed exotic and I even wrote a letter to the Caribou company asking them to consider opening a Caribou coffee shop somewhere in Tennessee. I wanted to try them that badly. After moving out to Colorado and settling in Denver years ago, I was excited to find this Caribou location on the 16th street mall.I was excited until I tried an iced vanilla latte. I was surprised because it tasted as if there was barely any espresso in it at all. It was very weak and too sweet. But I thought Well, I am used to Starbucks and thats strong so maybe I should give it another try later. But every latte I had after has also tasted weak. I felt the ice blended drinks were kind of bland too.I might just prefer strong espresso. The drip coffee is better and I enjoy their mango smoothie. The pastries and baked goods are alright. But I just dont enjoy the weak espresso here and prefer other coffee shops for espresso drinks.The best feature with this cafe is the lounge and seating options. It is very laptop friendly here with electrical outlets and tables in several spots. There is also outdoor seating.

I agree that caribou is better than Starbucks. I wish they had more locations in Denver, but this one is pretty good.
