They offered me a beverage and I sat waiting for the manager. They asked me what my favorite animal was. Which I guess was one of the more interesting questions. Pretty standard and wasn't unlike other entry level jobs I have interviewed for. Why are you interested, where were you before, strengths/weaknesses, etc.
In person interview after asking for a position in person and receiving a paper with steps to apply online. This was a U of MN caribou so it was pretty straight forward and I was hired after the interview the next day.
Did two interviews. It was cool. But two seemed a bit much for a barista role. But it did show they were looking for someone who was serious. It was pretty laid back and went well

Question 1

what animal are you most like
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Saint Paul, MN)
Interview
Straight-forward and simple, manager asked me about my experience, my availability, and how my being a full-time student affected my scheduling. Very professional, and clearly had strong corporate standards for processes and dealing with employees.
