Caribou Coffee - Hopkins

This is the worst Caribou I've ever been, just on customer service experience. Barista was brash and not welcome.

I woke up at 3:00 to take my son to the airport. I stopped at this caribou on my way home and arrived a few minutes before opening, so I waited in my car. When the woman who works unlocked the door at 5:00 when she opened, I went to order a coffee. The woman who unlocked the door said in a very bad tone, "Can't you wait until we turn on the light? I knew I was there when they opened, but didn't expect such a bad greeting. Fearable attitude, the opposite of good customer service. I went out and took my coffee to the street where I was greeted. How can I help you today?

I arrived here for a moment of respite during one of my Vision quests . My therapist says I should start calling them what they really are: week long benders, but I digress. After being politely informed this wasn 't a Wendy 's, I requested a breakfast sandwich that they would think is as close to a Baconator as possible. I think I also ordered a Hot Apple Butt Blast or something.  The fireplace area is nice and cozy, and I enjoyed the area all to myself after a Mother and child left quickly at my presence. Soon, with crumbs of my sandwich covering my shirt, I slumbered.  I was awoken with the poking of a broom stick. The employee Leah informed me I needed to leave, they close at three. She was alright,  I think I tipped her but it might have been a page of my vision quest notes. Don 't read it it might contain terrible secrets.

I have a hot mocha this morning as I often... Mug felt a little light. Turns out his half filled with Mocha other half (or more) is whipped cream. For $5.58 that a joke... good thing contest is over the street.

Coffee was good, as usual. The apple fritter was stale and hard as a rock. Very disappointing.
