Caribou Coffee

The only good coffee place left in West Omaha! The iced mocha is yummy and they don't have burnt coffee beans like so many other places.
Update: The hot milk chocolate mocha with an extra shot of espresso is the best around. The employees are always friendly and efficient and the rewards are good too.

Bad look for Carribou franchise, which i really like. Drip coffee was cold, not warm, literally room temperature; and their employee said they couldn't make a fresh pot? I then asked if I could order a cortado, but she didn't know what it was.

Always friendly baristas. We go get a coffee for the adults and pups get a pup cup too. Cozy little corner

The Caribou Coffee in the Hy-Vee on 178th St. is a fantastic coffee shop. I am surprised there are not more of them in Omaha. They are popular in northern states but are not as common in Nebraska. Caribou is an awesome place to order coffee because they are 100% “clean label,” sell fantastic coffee beans, and create the most delicious drinks.
Everything on Caribou’s menu is “clean label.” They do not use any artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives in their drinks and food. And it is certainly noticeable, especially in their caramel and chocolate drinks. They only use real caramel that tastes like fresh, homemade caramel you would find at a local fall festival. Also, they use real chocolate chips for their hot mochas, not powder. The result is a smooth, unified beverage that tastes like a candy bar in a cup. They home-make their whipped cream, too!
If you are not interested in the “fou fou” coffee beverages, you should try some of their blends and premium single-origin coffees. Blends like Mocha Java, Mahogany, and Caribou Blend are expertly roasted, and single origins like their Columbia are fantastic. Currently, they are selling their La Minita Peaberry, a premium single-origin coffee they release once a year. So, snag a bag before they sell out! Also, all of Caribou’s beans are Rainforest Alliance Certified, so you can feel good about every bag of beans you buy.
A special drink unique to Caribou Coffee is their crafted press, which the baristas can make hot, iced, or blended. It is a blend of their cold brew (which they call cold press), a dairy base (or nondairy), and a salt and sugar mixture all frothed together to create a creamy, delicious drink. Add a flavor like caramel or dark chocolate, and you won’t be sorry. Spike it with a shot of espresso, and you sure as hell won’t be sorry!
The baristas are also so kind and are willing to customize any drink for you. Feel intimidated by all the choices? Don’t be! Don’t want a drink too sweet? Don’t worry! Just ask the baristas to craft something special, and you won’t regret it.

Love this hidden gem. Just inside Hyvee. Best coffee drinks in town ☕️

Best coffee in town! Baristas are super friendly and are super great at steering you into something amazing to drink! Just ask them to make their favorite and you won’t be sorry!!

I love Caribou Coffee! Wish there were more in the area and one with a drive through would be awesome. But for now I'll just be grateful to have at least one. Always great service and a pleasant smile when I come in. 😊

Admittedly, I'm not much of a coffee aficionado and mostly I make fun of people who have turned coffee into a religion. Still, I enjoy the occasional coffee-flavored caffeine boost. Caribou Coffee's product is good and the employees have always been very friendly and competent. They're quite popular in the states to our north, but haven't gotten much of a foothold in Nebraska (I think this is their only Omaha location and then they have like two in Lincoln). Give them a try if you're at Hy-Vee or in the vicinity.

I love the Caramel High Rise. They have a nice size for pup cups. I hope they open up more locations in my area as there is currently only one in my city.

Went to the location in HyVee at 178th Street in Omaha. I stood there for several minutes waiting to order while hearing a couple people talking in the back. No one ever came out to take my order. I walked around the store and looked at the spot, still noone there.
They lost my business. Zero stars, but they made me post at least one.
