This is the closest Caribou to the Addison Red Line stop, so it gets a lot of attention. A nice thing about it is that it still has a new feel to it. It is nice to know that you are going in to a clean place when you are looking for a snack on your way to work.

I love the turtle mocha coffee here. It tastes soo good..especially on a cold weekend night. This stuff really keeps you up and going. I like all their hot coffee items here. They have a special every day. Its usually written on their board. The items are a bit expensive but well worth it. They also have some good snacks..the chocolate chip cookies are real good.

This place has a nice and clean atmosphere. The one weird thing that I have noticed about this place is that the coffee tastes different all the time. It is like they keep on trying different ways to brew it. When you go to get a cup of chain store coffee you are expecting something and it can be a bit strange when they pour you something else. This isn't a problem that the other Caribou has on Broadway a few blocks away.

I wouldn't normally bother with writing about a chain, but this Caribou Coffee is pleasant, clean, and totally queer. It's in Boystown, on the corner of Cornelia and Halsted, so it fits the neighborhood. The coffee is good, and corporate, so you usually know what you will get, and you know, sometimes that is a good thing, because a lot of people can still screw up a latte. The staff is friendly, though sometimes the flirting slows down the service (sorry, I am a girl, so I feel left out). But I really can't complain, they are speedy enough for this crazy fast-paced world we live in. And it's really the only coffeehouse in this small area, considering it is so close to Wrigley, and most people are looking for beer, not espresso.

Caribou always has great, creative drinks that are a little less snobby than some of Starbuck's. The best is an iced turtle mocha. It's sweet and has a nice mixture of caramel and chocolate flavor, which they then put whipped cream, caramel, and Snickers bits onto. YUM! Their treats that they serve are also very good... Try their blueberry muffin. The atmosphere at Caribou is very warm and relaxed, and it's definitely a place that it comfy to hang out or study in.
