Turtle Mocha and Salted Toffee Nut are singled out as strong choices, served hot or cold.
Light WiFi use
One reviewer found the WiFi fast enough for light gaming and watching YouTube.

Tips for a Better Visit
Visit weekdays. For a quieter meeting or work session, try a weekday; one review says Time Square is rarely busy then.
Use parking. The mall reportedly provides three hours of free parking, useful if you are stopping in during errands.
Check protein. If ordering the Matcha Protein smoothie for vegan or lactose-free reasons, confirm the protein powder first.
Check your order. When the branch is busy or lightly staffed, confirm that your order has actually been entered before waiting.
Watch the ice. For an iced latte, ask about the coffee strength and ice balance; one customer found the standard drink diluted.
Bring a backup. If you need dependable internet for work, bring an alternative because another visit had repeated WiFi disconnections.

The Bottom Line
Caribou Coffee - Time Square is a coffeehouse in Al Quoz that works well for a quiet coffee, a small meeting or a solo work session. Customers mention spacious seating, comfortable sofas and a branch that is often peaceful on weekdays. Three hours of free mall parking is another practical advantage.
The drinks that come up most positively are the Turtle Mocha, Campfire Mocha, Salted Toffee Nut and Caramel Budino. The Turtle Mocha and Salted Toffee Nut are mentioned as enjoyable hot or cold, while the Caramel Budino can be ordered decaf, with skimmed milk and less sweet. Sugar-free choices also appeal to diet-conscious customers.
Quality is uneven. Several reviews describe lattes and iced coffee as watered down, often blaming too much ice or a weak coffee flavour. Food feedback is also mixed, with complaints about bland sandwiches, dry wraps and a stale croissant.
Service ranges from warm and attentive to slow or disorganised, including one order that was never entered. If you need WiFi, keep expectations modest: one visitor found it fine for YouTube and light gaming, while another reported frequent disconnections. Anyone ordering the Matcha Protein smoothie for dietary reasons should verify the protein powder, as a review found whey despite the vegan label.
