New Menu Items Just Dropped at Caribou Coffee in Minnesota + Wisconsin

Coffee lovers...it is your Minnesota Coffee Queen here letting you know that something huge has dropped in our favorite coffee spot.  Ok, not just "something".  There are a whole bunch of items to get excited about because Caribou Coffee just put a brand new menu up on November 2nd.

I don't normally stop at a Caribou on the weekend but thanks to Daylight Savings, my mind was mush and I was feeling a lot like this shirt...dead inside.  I'm so glad I threw on a hoodie and my sunglasses to venture out because I would have totally missed this big news.

Minnesota's Favorite Coffee Spot, Caribou, Just Launched a Few New Drinks!

Minnesota LOVES its coffee but we are a bit unique when it comes to our favorite beans.  A few years ago, a poll was done to see what coffee chain each state loves the most.  The East Coast has a weird obsession with Dunkin'.  The rest of the US is in love with Starbucks.  And then there is Minnesota.  Our state stands tall as it proudly holds up a cup of Caribou Coffee as our #1 pick.
