I am beside myself right now. I'm a Minnesotan born and raised. Moved out here 5 years ago, and have been missing Caribou Coffee ever since I left home. One day, I was googling "Las Vegas Caribou Coffee" like I do on occasion, just in case. This time, imagine my surprise when something actually came up!! So, off I was to taste the sweet sweet nectar of Minnesota's better version of Starbucks.
This place is in the back of Hooter's Casino. If you enter from the Tropicana Ave side, stay to the right, and go straight to the back. It was there that I saw a sight that I have not seen in too long. The signature Caribou logo. Now, I will warn you.. this is NOT a standalone Caribou Coffee, it's in a place called Southside Eatery, they have Pizza Hut, Krispy Kreme, and other things. That being said, you won't be able to get the entire Caribou menu. Which is unfortunate considering my favorite (Mint Condition) was not a menu option. But, I was happy to be finally drinking Caribou Coffee again, regardless.
I ordered a simple Mocha, and it was perfect. It tasted like the chocolate I remember from back home, and I was in my happy place.
I would still love a full, standalone Caribou Coffee here in Vegas, as I think it blows any chain Coffee place out of the water, but I don't see that happening. This will have to do for now, and I'm perfectly happy with that! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please don't ever go away!
