I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2015
Interview
It was an extremely short interview. Caribou is very, very, very short staffed and the hiring process is super quick! I basically spent five minutes with the manager and was told I was hired and to expect a hiring email by the end of the day. Caribou is also opening more stores, so there are even more opportunities for employment.
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

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.
