The Bottom Line
Caribou Coffee - Bay Square is a practical Business Bay stop for coffee, a quiet break or a work session. You can order signature drinks, mochas and lattes, then settle into the cozy seating for a meeting, reading or laptop time. Reviews specifically mention good Wi-Fi, fresh pastries and a relaxing atmosphere.
There are a few memorable menu picks beyond standard coffee. The Spanish latte earned a direct recommendation, while the blueberry muffins received unusually enthusiastic praise. Other customer favourites include frozen hot chocolate, chicken sausage, salted caramel and the fudgy wudgy frappe.
Breakfast and pastries give you something to pair with a drink, including a ham and cheese croissant and pastel de nata. The main practical drawback is timing: service may slow during busy hours, so it is worth allowing a little extra time. Wi-Fi has been reported as requiring a login and lasting 120 minutes with a purchase.
There is no bathroom, according to one review, and outdoor seating can be affected by smoking or vaping nearby. Coffee feedback is mostly positive but not uniform. One reviewer found it average and another wanted better espresso, while others described drinks as rich, tasty and freshly made.
If your drink arrives extremely hot, let it cool before settling in.
