5 Reasons Why You Should Visit Caribou Coffee, Citos.

19.05.2016,
On a beautiful Thursday morning, I joined a group of FoodBloggers and media, attending the opening of the 3rd Caribou Coffee Store in Indonesia, located in Citos (Cilandak Town Square) mall, South Jakarta.
Hhm... not too far from our home.

Caribou Coffee is a popular premium coffee house in US, that started brewing their coffee since 1992 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They now have 272 outlets and 131 domestic license locations in 18 states, US. Until now they have 220 international franchise outlets in 12 countries.

A cozy-warm atmosphere, friendly barista, were welcoming us.
It feels homey with the aromatic coffee smell.

I'm so glad to find out there are so many good things from this Coffee Shop. From the good coffee to the fresh smoothie, from the freshly baked bagels to artisanal sandwich and the yummy banana carrot cakes, and one thing that made me really appreciate this cafe is ...they provide a big family friendly space, a comfy non smoking area; something that is not easy to be found in these days.
Salute!

So, these are 5 reasons why you should visit this Coffee Shop.
You will enjoy it.

1. A Cozy Family Friendly Coffee Shop

I put this reason as the first one.
After many years struggling with many cafes and restaurants that don't care about the non-smoking customers or those who come with children, this cafe suddenly brightens my day.

The warm-clean-cozy interior for sure will be a very good place to sit, sip the coffee and spend time with family or friends here. For sure, there is no cigarette smoke inside.

The separation is clear, inside is the non-smoking area and outside (on the terrace part) for the smokers.
I'm so happy for this!

They also have introduced 3 new beverages; Salted Vanilla Latte, Salted Vanilla Cooker and Vanilla Creme Cappuccino, which using real vanilla beans, not artificial vanilla syrup.

Another beverage that steal my heart is Strawberry Banana Smoothie. This one is going to be perfect for children. Some other flavors are available for order.

3. Bagels.

Who doesn't like bagels?

... here, Bagels is a must! 
I love particularly the multi-seed Bagel with Pesto Dip. Just perfect!

I tried other dipper; cream cheese, smoked salmon and red pepper, all are good but for me the greenish pesto dip is the best. So I really recommend you to order Bagels to accompany your coffee when you visit Caribou Coffee.
