What is it about Caribou Coffee's interiors that I find so much more inviting than Starbucks? Could it be the charm of a warm, rustic lodge with exposed beams, plenty of windows, and a cozy fireplace? It doesn't hurt that Caribou encourages lingering with spacious floor plans and tons of seating to leisurely enjoy a cup of joe. No wonder I can't help but find it much more appealing than Starbucks' dark and intimate (ahem, cave-like) contemporary interiors. I always feel like I'm ordering coffee in a tunnel when I'm at Starbucks. Still I do love Starbuck's coffee. Mmmm, toffee nut latte.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I would like to curl up in that comfy looking chair next to the fireplace. Now, that's something you won't find in Starbucks.
I almost never drink coffee (it makes me crazy!) but it looks very cozy there.
I've never heard of Caribou before, but if it were available, I'd choose it over SB any day. Like Wendy, I don't drink coffee, but I am a sucker for a great cocoa, so if they had that especially...
Heyy girl, i'm glad u still blogging too !!
I'm almost positive that this is my old Caribou! I have always frequented Caribou Coffee, and recently worked in one from the last June until the end of this January. (I moved up North, with no Caribou's in sight. =[ )
Did you take these pictures at the Caribou that closed down in Alpharetta, GA on Mansell Rd? That was my favourite, with the lake out back and the wraparound patio. =]
Wow that sounds fabulous. I've never been there but I think it would be my favorite too. I'm sorry to say that this picture is from a Caribou in Silver Spring, Maryland.
