Occassionally you find a place that's definitely a gathering spot for local folks, and Caribou Coffee at The Forum is just that place. We stopped by around 3 o'clock one weekday afternoon and found this cozy shop full of people chatting, working on computers or just enjoying the restaurant's outdoor seating.

Along with coffee of every descriptions, this coffee shop offers a half dozen different breakfast sandwiches and an array of muffins and other breakfast goodies. The walls are filled with framed art created by a local artist - and for sale too. There's plenty of comfortable chairs, a fireplace and free Wi Fi.
