    The staff were consistent on providing personal vibe, considering it was a busy push during the day. Felt welcomed and coffee cozy vibe for it being attached to Lunds.

    I arrived at about 11:45am, November 12, 2025. I was in the neighborhood so decided to purchase coffee beans. Normally, I buy coffee from Target store at East Lake Street, Minneapolis. It seems that staff and the public was informed that I was going to make a purchase at Caribou at this particular time and date as I recognized the three individuals sitting near me from a drug purchase I made from them year ago. I believe it resulted in my arrest and detainment by Minneapolis Police. I feel that I am and was followed and called out at Caribou Uptown/Lunds Byerlys Management and Corporate Offices for purposes of a drug investigation and conviction against me by Hennepin County Police / Corrections and their parole department. I have made staff aware about this issue(s) before and I have not been to this Caribou in more than six months. This is the reason why I do not patronize Caribou Coffee or any coffee restaurant because I feel followed by police officers and their private and public investigators. I have communicated this issue to Minneapolis Police previously. Grant D Olson Minneapolis, MN 55407 Cc Hennepin Medical, Cathy Harland PMO, Julie Flaschenriem, Chief Technology Officer
