I can’t survive without my coffee.  Coming from Minnesota, my go-to was Caribou Coffee.  It’s like the “midwest-nice” version of Starbucks, and they’re all over in Minnesota. 

There’s nothing like a nice, straightforward coffee latte made by someone else.  It beats brewing at home any day.  It just tastes better, in my opinion.  Or the spiced chai latte.  It’s a pretty standard Indian-chai imposter, but it’s still lovely.

I had no idea that Caribou Coffee wouldn’t be big in Colorado.  In fact, turns out there are only 11 in the entire state (something I did NOT check before I moved!).  Luckily one just happens to be down the road. Starbucks may be closer with basically the same menu, but it’s worth a little extra distance to support something so Minnesotan and wonderful.  :)
