Here at Caribou Coffee, we believe this to be true: that if passion, hard work, and excellence go into an endeavor, the outcome will be a quality experience, and therefore rewarding.

In 1990, during an adventure through the Alaskan wilderness, our founders journeyed to the top of Sable Mountain. After a strenuous climb, they reached the summit and were rewarded with a sensational view: the boundless mountains, a clear blue sky, and a herd of caribou thundering through the valley.

The breathtaking panoramic view became the entrepreneurial vision for Caribou Coffee — a company that believes excellence is a product of hard work, and that life is too short for anything else. This vision serves as a guide as we strive to create a special experience for you here at Caribou.

Now, we invite you as our guest along this path. Enjoy a moment, or several, filled with the highest-quality coffee and unparalleled service. Our mission at Caribou Coffee is to provide an experience that makes the day better. Thanks for joining us and please come again.

Whether you’re young or old, on your way to college or retirement — or somewhere in-between, we invite you to explore our upscale lodge setting as an exceptional place to work.
