Caribou is still around? I haven't seen one in the USA in awhile... think the last one I saw was in Incheon Airport of all places.
Interestingly enough, in the past year or so, they’ve been opening up drive-through only locations. These obviously carry much lower overhead than standard stores, but I’m skeptical if they’ll drive enough sales to remain open, especially as COVID (hopefully) continues to subside.
Either way it sounds like a terrible option.
I prefer to find hipster/third-wave coffee places myself.
They tend to put a lot more effort into the coffee and ambiance.
