Caribou Coffee - Ankeny

This coffee shop has delightful coffee; my personal favorite is the Mint Cooler. The drive-thru is a bit slow, taking around 15 minutes, but I still recommend stopping by. Their ethics and coffee quality surpass those of the well-known green mermaid coffee house, and the prices are slightly lower too. For those interested, I ordered a Medium Dark Chocolate Mint Condition Cooler with extra mint chips and half-caffeine.

I order curbside pickup from this location at least once or twice a week. The pickup process is quick and efficient. The coffee here tastes much better than Starbucks.

I absolutely love Caribou! In my opinion, their coffee is far superior to Starbucks. It’s not bitter at all. The coffee drinks and smoothies are fantastic!

I've always had a great experience here, except for one time when someone’s car broke down in the Drive-Thru, causing a 20-minute wait for my coffee. But that was no one's fault.

This Caribou Coffee is ideally situated, especially for those returning to the highway after an overnight hotel stay! The staff is friendly, and the online ordering and pick-up process is incredibly convenient. Access from I-35 is also very simple.
