The Good Stuff
Meeting rooms
Two meeting rooms can be rented, with meeting tables and screens for professional discussions.
Work friendly
Several seats have charging sockets, and reviewers describe the café as a practical place to work online.
Metro access
The café is only a short walk from the metro, making it convenient for visitors without a car.
Coffee favourites
The mocha, cappuccino and Spanish latte are among the specific drinks praised by customers.
Fresh breakfast
An online breakfast order arrived hot and fresh, including cheese and almond croissants.
Dietary choice
A gluten-free hazelnut muffin and oat milk were both mentioned as useful alternatives.
Calm atmosphere
Customers describe a cosy, peaceful setting with soft music that suits focused work or quiet thinking.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm rates. If booking a meeting room, ask for the current rate first; one regular customer reported repeated price increases.
Check hours. Confirm the closing time before a late visit; one review states the on-site hours were 6AM–12AM, not 24/7.
Sit upstairs. Choose an upstairs seat if you want the better city view mentioned by a reviewer.
Take the metro. The metro is only a few metres away, so it may be easier than searching for parking.
Bring a charger. Ask for a seat with a socket if you plan to work, since charging points are available only at several seats.

The Bottom Line
Caribou Coffee in Trade Centre is a roomy, two-storey coffeehouse suited to more than a quick takeaway. You can settle in with a mocha, cappuccino or Spanish latte, order breakfast such as the cheese or almond croissant, or use one of the rentable meeting rooms for a professional discussion. Several seats have charging sockets, and reviews describe the atmosphere as calm enough for online work and focused time.
The space is the main draw. Comfortable couches, indoor and outdoor seating, soft music and plenty of room make it easy to meet friends without feeling cramped. It is also close to the metro, while parking is available but may be frustrating: one reviewer needed almost three rounds to find a space.
Gluten-free hazelnut muffin and oat milk options were noted too. There are a few practical cautions. A regular meeting-room customer reported that prices kept changing between reservations, so confirm the current rate before booking.
Check the hours before visiting late at night as well; a review says the on-site schedule was 6AM–12AM despite an incorrect 24/7 listing. Food and drink quality is mostly praised, though a few reviews describe disappointing coffee, juice or food on individual visits.
