I'm at Caribou Coffee on W. Silver Spring Dr. in Glendale. Another thing that there should be a sniglet for is when the staff is cleaning the coffeehouse and you, as a customer, no longer feel welcome (mind you, the person at the counter gave me a friendly reception--he's new and undergoing training). I'm a night person, so it's tough for me to make use of the hours after 10 p.m. in Glendale. I should also specify that I don't really drink much. In any event, I stopped at my parents' to pick up a one-pound bag of Peet's House Blend that my Dad brought back for me from Arizona. I look forward to cupping it and sampling it as drip coffee in the morning.
Also, thanks to my Aunt Lynne, I have good pants on. I find that in life, it's hard to overestimate the important of good pants.
I use that particular Caribou location a lot, only because it is a very convenient place to meet. The coffee is ok, there is a little incentive to bring one's own cup, and plenty of southwestern windows; but really, I only go there when I am meeting someone else. The Zoo Caribou location is much nicer (could be just transference of good Zoo feelings though).

I agree, the Zoo location (i.e. Highway 100 & Bluemound) is much nicer in terms of atmosphere. Incidentally, I'd guess that one is one of the most WELS coffeehouses around due to all the surrounding institutions.
