One might ask, where can I get a warm cup of coffee, excellent customer service, and a comfortable atmosphere all at once? Caribou Coffee in Red Wing is the place for you! Caribou Coffee is a speciality coffee and espresso retailer founded in 1992. The location in Red Wing, however, holds a unique history behind it. In 1906, the building was a part of The Chicago Western Depot. After becoming abandoned in 1976, it was heavily renovated and became a Hardee’s restaurant. Finally in 2006, it became the special coffee shop it is now.
