The North
Halsted location is affectionately referred to as Cruise-i-bou by the
local gay and lesbian population. But Caribou
Coffee is well know throughout the Chicago area becausethe Roastmasters are personally responsible for all their
coffees. They've spent years in the field "quite literally" discovering
and delivering the best coffees from around the world. Every year,
Caribou travels the globe to find the finest coffee available. They'll
try hundreds of samples from any one country. Then, the Roastmaster
selects the most spectacular coffees to bring back to the United States. Caribou
Coffee company's size is perfect for sourcing the best of each country's
crop. They're able to bring in special
coffees that might otherwise be out of the small roaster's reach or too
limited in supply for the large roaster.
