Caribou Coffee

Coffee, coffee and more coffee

Caribou Coffee turns waiting into a brand moment. Our UX Bites include loading states like a coffee cup filling up, rather than a generic spinner.

Their loading animation is a coffee cup filling up, not a standard spinner
A filling cup implies progress, which makes the wait feel shorter than it is
Shows how a purely functional moment, i.e. a loading state, can carry brand personality
